Apparently there are only about 10k fans left
...in Yankee Stadium.

This should feel like a home game at this point.  That's about the number of Yankee fans in the park when the A's play the Yanks in Oakland!

That, my friends
was the biggest win of the year. By far.

And Haren gets a deserved win. And the Rouse-Perez-Scutaro lineup that someone was dreading earlier today produces a victory.

And we have a closer, don't we??

It's too soon, however
to assume Mike Rouse is going to get into the Hall of Fame, or even that he'll be this year's AL MVP.

Rookie of the Year, of course, is a sure thing.
