Yankees survive

Now, I am not a great Yankees fan. For that matter, I am not even an ardent baseball follower.But, I have got a co-worker who will die for Yankees, if it comes to that..so his passion for Yankees inspired me to follow what's happening with them this year in the playoffs.

Today's game (not a 'match' as in the cricket world) was good...the Cleveland Indians were up 2-0 in this 5 game series and they were up 3 runs till the 5th inning of the game tonight. Then Matsui and Johnny Damon changed the game by scoring 5 runs in the 5th inning and Yankees kept the score bored ticking by adding 3 more in the next inning. Final score Yankees 8 - Indians - 4

As I was listening to the commentators,I came to know that the stakes were pretty high for Yankee team manager Joe Torre (Yankees' manager of past 12 years). It would have been his last game if they would have lost tonight..so Joe keeps his job for a day and tomorrow is do-or-die for the Yankees. I will keep watching the series ..atleast till the Yankees stay in the game
