Congratulations, Mo!

Mo notched his 450th career save yesterday, joining Trevor Hoffman and Lee Smith as the only closers to achieve that feat.  That's such an incredible statistic.....Yankees fans are very lucky to have had this man on our team doing what he's done for as long as he has.  And he's still throwing 94-95 even now.  I know the day will come when he won't be pitching in pinstripes anymore, I just hope that day comes at the end of a brilliant, WS-winning season.  That way he can go out on top.


A couple things about yesterday's game I wanted to comment on aside from Mo's achievement, is first, this team's complete inability to score runs.  A shutout win is great, especially when it's stopping a slide.  A great pitching performance is great, especially when we blow games like this in the past.  Only scoring one run is unacceptable.  Our offense is so frickin' stagnant, it's not funny anymore.  We'll score something like 15 runs and then be unable to do anything for days after that.  Whether we win or we lose, the story seems to be the same.  NO OFFENSE.  The second thing I wanted to discuss was Jorge Posada's injury.  I think it's more serious than the team is letting on, but we should all wait until Dr. Andrews gives his assessment before we all start freaking out.  Chris Stewart was called up to be Molina's backup since Molina will now be our full-time catcher while Jorge is out for God only knows how long.  Jorge has been one of the few players this season who has been hitting consistently, so who knows what kind of affect this will have on the team.


I had to work all day yesterday so that explains the lack of game summary when it ended.  Here's the Star of the Game (only two because we did jack-sh!t today).
