Happy, but concerned

Let me put it this way:
I am happy as all get out that we swept the Yankees at home for the first time in a home face-off in umpteen years.

However - I'm not entirely content about it.
Frankly, the problem of it all is this - we just barely won all three when we were facing the bottom of the barrel, injury-laden Yanks that we really had no excuse to lose against.

Fact of the matter is, we barely got outta there alive.
Case in point, our crucial runs came from the least likely places.

Don't get me wrong - I can't remember the last time I've been as excited as I was tonight, watching the four two-out solo home runs that took place - albeit against a rookie in his second start. Ever.

I'm also pleased that Dice-K lasted long enough to allow the go-ahead runs to count in his favor towards evening up his starts at 2-2.
Oh, and yeah, captain? V-Tek, continuing confirmation that he's over his early season slump.
Love the captain. Just wish that Wily-Mo were doing more to try to earn a sub-spot for Coco.
Hey, if they combine for a .250 average I will be both surprised and pleased.

Nonetheless, legitimately concerned that facing this more than depleted team (Petitte had to mid-relief for crying out loud, after starting on Friday) that we just barely eked out a win.

However, not to look a gift horse and all that good crap - uber happy to sweep and extend our lead against the Yanks, however early in the season it may be.

Oh, and by the way - how intensly, Children of the Corn does Pap look when he's setting up for a ninth inning shut down? So glad he's on our side.
