The Yankees scored an amazing number of runs against the Devil Rays. The clubhouse looked alive, and really energetic. Who can we thank?

Shelley Duncan.

Seriously, this kid, who has been stuck in our farm system forever (and who I accidentally credited as Eric Duncan's brother...he's Chris Duncan's brother), who had too many strike outs, who couldn't hit for average, brings a little of that 1998 attitude that we so desperately need.

And even better?

We designated Wil Nieves for assignment and traded for Jose Molina! Wow! Finally, a competent backup catcher - probably the best we've had in years.
