The Yankees moved from the bleak, rain drenched Bronx to the rejuvenating warmth of South Florida. Land Shark Stadium, allegedly the home of the Florida Marlins, echoed comforting "Lets Go Yankees" chants. The pinstriped, over-the-hill-gang flashes back to Glory Days:
- Jeter hobbles on a gimpy ankle to produce two hits and a run.
- Pettitte wheezes to second after whacking an unlikely double. The trainer twitches every time Andy navigates a balky back through an impressive seven inning stint.
- Posada's bat overcomes shoulder issues to contribute two more hits.
- A-Rod shuts down his surgically repaired hip while watching Angel Berroa revive his teetering career. (Note: The fact that the MVP needs two days to re-charge his batteries, six weeks after an extensive stay on rehab mountain is ominous.)
The Yankees beat the Marlins 5-1 Friday night in Florida. A timely victory provides relief for a rickety roster struggling to survive a gruelling schedule. It won't get any easier for a veteran-laden crew looking to turn back the hands of time and recapture the rapture.
