Cano

Jeter, Damon, Cano, Posada, Swisher and Matsui all coming up with doubles, triples and HRs at various times on a daily basis. This was very much like '61 when Johnny Blanchard, Elston Howard, an ageing Yogi Berra and Moose Skowron all hit over 20 HRs and Howard hit .348 IN ADDITION to Mantle and Maris's combined 115 HRs. And, yes, the pitching has jelled beautifully.

in both the 3rd and 7th inning made it an all around ugly loss.  

THE GOOD:

Robinson Cano’s 2 run home run…If Robby can get back on track and hit like he is capable of, the Yankee lineup looks completely different. Although leaving a ton of runners in scoring position later on in the game kind of adds a sour note to his spot in the box score.
