Weekly Random Thoughts on the Yankees
The Yankees went 4-3 this week, bringing their record to 69-54. The Yankees are five games behind Boston in the AL East and one half game behind Seattle for the American League Wild Card.Here comes put up or shut up time: in the next twelve days, the Yankees play Detroit five times, the Angels three times, and the Red Sox three times. Should be fun!
The Eric Gagne Watch
My man-crush has been transferred from Shelley Duncan to almost-Yankee Eric Gagne. Here are his stats for the past week:G IP H ER BB SO ERA
Gagne 3 2.2 5 4 1 4 13.50
Bottom line: one win and two blown saves (one which resulted in a loss for him).
And yes, before you Red Sox fans get all excited, I am well aware that Mariano Rivera's stats for the last week weren't much better than Gagne's (10.38 ERA, two saves, one blown save (which resulted in a win for Rivera), and one loss). But Rivera's just going through a slump (and it looks like it might be over after today's game). Of course, Gagne's going through a slump as well. Only his has lasted for his entire short career in Boston (seven appearances with an even 15.00 ERA).

Former American Idol winner and current country star Carrie Underwood is single-handedly trying to resurrect the hair bands. First, she covered Skid Row. Then she tackled Sweet Child O' Mine. Plus, she's been known to rock the vintage '80s groupie hairstyle.And in her biggest move to date, Underwood joined Vince Neil onstage last week for a duet of Kickstart My Heart.
Rock on, girl. [via BlabberMouth]
