Home Run

A sweep of the Kansas City Royals by the New York Yankees made for a sweet weekend and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Alex Rodriguez homered Friday night in the Yanks 3-2 win. A-Rod homered twice (and fell a few feet short of a third) in Saturday nights 11-5 victory and Alex hit another homer Sunday afternoon (his 52nd of the season) as the Bronx Bombers beat KC 6-3.

There's just one thing to say about him....MVP!

Chien-Ming Wang won his 18th yesterday and Jorge Posada remained hot with a homer Friday night and the game winning double on Sunday.

The Yankees now lead the Wild Card by 4 over the Detroit Tigers and are 5 1/2 games behind the Boston Red Sox in the American League East.

The Yankees next play three in Toronto and three this weekend in Boston.

In a side note we ended our quest for good BBQ in KC, but did return to Dos Hombres for their great homemade tortilla soup and "puffy tacos".
