Is it the start of something?

Tonight’s comeback victory marked three wins in a row for the Yankees.  Although this does not seem like much, its a nice change of pace for a team that has looked lost for the past few weeks. 

Ever since the Red Sox came back to beat the Yankees in the ninth off Rivera, the Yankees have looked like a team without hope and direction.  Furthermore, the big winter signings were not panning out: Teixiera was batting below .200 and Sabathia was getting knocked around.  The Yankees were in a funk. 

But the Yankees have put together three good wins in a row.  Sabathia dominated the Jays on Wednesday, Jeter and Matsui powered the Yankees to a comeback win yesterday, and tonight they score three runs in the ninth off Joe Nathan to win.  So it appears, for one night at least, that they are pulling themselves out of their funk. 

Peter Abaraham asked after today’s comeback win, “Is it the start of somethin?”  It may turn out to just be one good moment; but with the regulars coming back to the team, the new signings starting to come alive, and the Yankees seemingy out of their slump, the may Yankees become the team we all expected, or hoped, they would be in the spring.
