NY Yankees beat LA Angels in 13-inning classic and stay perfect in postseason

Gooooooooood Morning from Da Bronx!!!

The number '13' has always been an ominous and dreaded number, and yet, as of late, it has taken on a whole new meaning. Recently with no more thoughts about the number '13' being "unlucky" or an evil number, it has taken on a whole new perspective, at least, for me based on my experiences, to become somewhat of a good number.

Some examples of how the number '13' has changed significantly and reflects in my life: (1) I pray for my Grandfather every 13th of the month since his death this year, which even though losing my Grandfather has been a deep scar for me, at least, on the 13th, I remember all the good he brought into my life, (2) One of the best NY Yankees postseason games ever ended in the 13th inning, and (3) A-Rod, who wears the number '13', has finally emerged as a postseason hero, and has proved to be worthy to wear a NY Yankees uniform, and showed the fans that he wants to win a World Series.

The following is the story of that 13th inning postseason duel, that even with the inclement weather, the Yankees were going to play for a dramatic walk-off win.  This postseason game will be an instant Yankee Stadium classic, five hours and 10 minutes of "soaking, refrigerated" baseball under the bright lights in the Bronx, and of course an epic like this could only end the way the Yankees have scripted them all year.

The Yanks are beating the Angels at their own game, forcing a win in Game 2 of this 2009 ALCS. WHAT A GAME!!! A-Rod, Jeter 'El Capitan', Rivera, AJ, Damon, Robertson, Joba, Melky and Jerry Hairston for the caper. Will the Yanks close this out on Halo turf? This NY YANKEES TEAM has once again asserted itself at the right time. GOOOO YANKEEEES!

Highlights of tonight's NY Yankees win to push them to a commanding ALCS 2-0 lead heading out to the West. Maybe even finish the deal on Halos turf to become '09 ALCS Champions!

Fellow Yankees' teammates spill out of the Yankees dugout and run out to greet him at home plate knocking him to the ground. A.J. Burnett may not have factored into the game winning decision, but he was in his familiar spot after the game, delivering a whipped cream pie in Jerry Hairston's face after he opened the inning with a single and scored the game-winner.

All in all, a great NY Yankees team win, and this will surely will be yet another NY Yankees classic aired on the YES channel.

Till next game, LET'S GO YANKEES!!!
