Last year even though they won 103 games, i never quite got the feeling they clicked as a team and never quite felt they played the style of ball that wins in post season, and unfortunately i was right.
Pitching, defense and offensive execution wins in the playoffs, they didnt really have any of that last year they just won with the long ball and that upset me because im a big fan of hard nose fundemental baseball.
This year however, even though they still hit alot of home runs , they are much improved defensively in the outfield with matsui in left and a much more focused mondesi in right.....and the starting 5 look like they are on a mission, ive been waiting for pettitte to return to his old form and it looks like he finally has.... and the moose, this could finally be the year he gets that much deserved cy young cause the guy has lights out stuff. Only question is the bullpen which i think will come together once mo and karsay return.
Sky is the limit this year , they could easily top the 98 record
