After 4 games, the Yankees haven't looked particularly sharp, but they still have 3 wins out of it. The ironic thing is the game they lost was the one that they displayed their best offense, but Hughes gave everything back after the Yankees cut the lead to 1. The important thing is they're finding ways to win and they have a solid bullpen after the 6th inning. In the season opener, CC Sabathia wasn't that dominant. It wasn't a shutout or pitcher's duel that everyone always expects, but he grinded it out and made it to the 7th. Yesterday's game was the same story. Nova battled out in a close 4-3 game and lasted through 6. With Joba handling 7th, Soriano 8th and Rivera 9th, that's all the starter has to do... last 6 with a lead.
One shining star is that Teixiera is off to his first fast start. He typically hits .200 and then catches up later. But he's already got 3 homers. Posada also has 3. I think he'll have a big year since he gets to concentrate 100% on batting.
