The Best Way to Start a Winning Streak is to Win

Winning streak may refer to:

• a sports and gambling term denoting a series of contests or matches uninterrupted by loss

Thanks to Wikipedia and the Yankees, we finally know what a winning streak is and feels like. Looks like our songs provided a little inspiration for the Bronx Bombers because we've won four straight and six out of our last ten. The last two home games have provided many sports center moments and we're feeling like this could be the start of something. The Melkman has been consistently delivering through losses and wins, but Friday night was actually fruitful as he provided a two run single to produce the W. Funny that when we googled Got Melk only a few weeks ago the choices for t-shirts were slim to none and yet Saturday morning there was already a website with custom ordered got melk stickers. You know you're doing something right when you have a Shepard Fairy inspired poster with your face on it. Saturday afternoon was littered with classic Yankee rally gems. Joba the Hut came out of the gates strong (he answered our Craigslist ad for another reliable ace), Mo reminded us why we never question 'enter sandman', pitching two scoreless innings and working out of the kind of 10th inning disaster that was giving us 'nam flashbacks. And A-Rod gave us a roid-free homer that mattered. Could we have asked for a better Yankee weekend? Tex is out of his slump and even Gardner is contributing. This is what we were talking about. Stringing together some wins and getting our heads back in the game. Most importantly, as LoHud noted after Friday night's victory, the vibe seems good. We're all on the same page. We're all helping out. No drug talk, no star antics, just walk off singles, homers and clutch pitching. That climb above .500 may be steep, but we've got our mountain gear on.
