WHY IT'S "WELCOME BACK BARTOLO"

*Happy Dance*. That is from @Stefiegirl820, who also happens to be a Bleeding Yankee Blue reader who makes me smile every time I watch the Yanks get a win. I then log on to Twitter. Usually, I have a tweet mention with my handle attached to it and it says *Happy Dance*. To me, that is all I need to get me through the rest of the day, especially with the Yankees rolling. Thanks for that, keep it going. Maybe you can make shirts Stefiegirl820. She's a true Yankee fan, Ladies and Gentlemen, follow her.

The Yankees were dynamite today and they have won yet another and it's marvelous. What can you say about Bartolo Colon except, "Welcome back my friend". He went 6 innings today, allowing 5 hits and no runs. To me, that was a brilliant come back and it makes me happy to see this guy so electric still, after worrying that he would not be able to deliver. He picked up where he left off and now we can all give a sigh of relief and keep our winning streak going.(Photo: Star Ledger)
Today was a great win for the Yankees. First off, I told you Curtis Granderson would feed off of Teixeira in my vision for a Yankees home run race. He cranked out his 22nd homer today. Wonderful stuff, they need to keep it going to keep me happy here at BYB.

Robinson Cano hit a 2 run triple and Nick Swisher knocked him in with a sacrifice. To me, this is fundamental baseball plain and simple. You have to love the way the Yankees are playing. We're not only hitting homers, we're playing actual baseball. I am telling you, I have a gut feeling about this year right now. I have the same feeling I felt in 2009. Things seems to be working every game and I just hope it continues.

Eduardo Nunez knocked out a homer in the ninth today. Gee, this kid has a good bat, doesn't he? I wish that would translate to his fielding. Dom Amore from the Hartford Courant says the same thing I say. If Nunez made less errors and was less sloppy, this kid would be an all around great athlete. I know I sound like I'm down on Nunez, I'm not, I'm just not won over yet. But that can change.

Final Score today: Yankees 5 - Mets 2.

Freddy Garcia goes tomorrow against R.A. Dickey. I'm excited to see Freddy go tomorrow. I smell a sweep, do you?
