Let's face it. That game last night was the kind of game which despite a tough battle the M's would find a way to lose, or the Yankees would find a way to win (see Tuesday's game). Once Ryan couldn't make an admittedly difficult play and the Yankees made the score 3-2 with runners on first and third with one out, you figured the jig was up. But...the...M's...battled...and kicked...and clawed...and held on, even after Brett Gardner singled with one out in the 9th and promptly stole second AND THIRD.
Might as well enjoy the ride. No one knows if it's a sign of things to come or another hot stretch that will in the end be engulfed by another season of despair (or somewhere in between). There's plenty of time to remind myself that these weren't your father's Yankees. That lineup right now is middle of the pack at best.
