The Legend of Melky Cabrera Continues

Bernie Williams called it the greatest catch he has ever seen, because of the game situation at hand.

Manny being Manny yelled at Cabrera to "let it drop!"

Kyle Farnsworth was happy enough to give Melky his favorite hunting rifle.

Johnny Damon was so gleeful that old-time Yankees fans all over the world welled up with tears of pride and joy.

Melky Cabrera climbed the wall in left-center field last night to steal Manny of a critical home run and permanently etch himself in the memories of all Yankees fans. To make a game-saving catch of that magnitude against the Red Sox...let's just say that his credit with Yankees management just bumped up several notches. The only way that he could get traded in the next few years is if he blows out his ACL playing pickup basketball.

Melky wasn't the only youngster to contribute in a big way to last night's win.


Andy Phillips made two spectacular defensive plays at first, making every last fan in the sold-out crowd realize that Jason Giambi needs to stick to DHing full time.

And what can we say about Chien Ming Wang? He gave up 8 hits, but he pitched well whenever he had to, save the bomb he gave up to Yankees Killer, David Ortiz, in the 3rd inning, which ended up being the sole run that the Red Sox could put on the board.

Maybe, just maybe, if Cashman sticks to his guns, the Yankees do have a solid future ahead of them.

Let's hope to God that our momentum continues tonight against Schilling.
