Is there a more dominant hitter in baseball? I think the way he is playing this year already is a sign that the Yanks will take the 'ship this year. Who else agrees?

No there isn't a more dominant hitter in baseball at the moment.
As for the two geniuses who say the Yankees have no pitching, or the pitching is old and they have no middle relief, maybe they should look at the stats before they write that junk. The Yankees staff ERA is around 3.70 which is very good considering Wang hasn't pitched yet this year, and Mussina is on the D.L.
No middle relief? Hey, genius look at the ERAs of Henn and Bruney, who have pitched 20 innings between them this season and have ERAs, below 1.00 after today's game. Vizcaino has been GREAT until today, and the one bad game inflated his ERA. The last three guys who started were 24 (Chase Wright) 27 (Igawa), and 26 (Rasner). Granted Mussina is 38, but Wang is 27. Mussina would fit in with the Red Sox rotation of 40-year old Curt Schilling, 40 year old Tim Wakefield, and 40 year old reliever Mike Timlin.

I don't I'm a Mets fan, But!! Elrod is the most Domini hitter in the game today, If the Yanks do win the series they will have to get by the Mets!!!
Mister Otis of Boston is the best Clutch Hitter thou.!! (it will be nice if Elrod hit at least 75 Home runs this year so he'll get Barry Bonds off the record books and put it back to NY.

10 homers in 14 games as of April 19, 2007, A-Rod is hot and ready to begin earning his mega-bucks.
The problem with the Yankees is of course, its pitching staff. It's not that deep and the season has only begun. The Yanks need the long ball hitters to be in first place by the All-Star break.
Not in first place, the Yanks need to start contributing as a team to make George Steinbrenner a happy man with his now valued $1.2 billion team (Forbes Magazine).

What a rebound! Maybe he just neede to get off his chest that him and Jeter were not that close anymore to get rid of some of that pressure or maybe it's just that he wants out after this season so needs great stats but either way it's another ring for the YANKS!

NY Yankees all the way!
A-rod was a distraction, now that he is hot, and no more can be blamed, Yankees will play to its full potential.
Wang, Pavano, Mussina will all contribute. Red Hot Yankees from June till 27th "ship."

Until he gets a ring he wont get the respect he deserves. He is probably going to win the MVP but the Yanks have no pitching this year and it will come back and kick em in the ***.

I hate the yankees but I am happy to see A-Rod regain his swing. People seem to think he is somehow been a big bust eventhough he was the MVP two years ago and Giambi is the bigger bust. He has had issues but people seem to blame him for the Yankees problems forgetting the fact the starting pitching is old enough to obtain AARP cards and they still have no middle relief.
