The Yankees are in cruise control now. Their starting pitching has been dazzling. The bats are doing just enough.
A sweep over the first place White Sox and a six-game win streak has the Bronx Bombers just a half game out of first place in the AL East, which has been terrific thus far.
To talk about the sizzling Yankees, we bring you a new episode of the “Pinstripe Pod” with Chris Shearn and Jeff Nelson, featuring a fun interview with Mickey Rivers.
Pinstripe Pod Opening Segment with Chris, Jeff & Jake:
- SWEEPING THE WHITE SOX: This is the team we expected to see. Statement sweep over a first place team. Starting pitching has been sensational this past week in the six-game win streak.
- CONTROVERSIAL MANAGERS: Is Tony La Russa one of the most hated managers by opponents ever? Ozzie Guillen is another manager that threw players under the bus. Nellie tells stories of Lou Piniella flipping over tables in the clubhouse.

Former Yankees center field (1976-1979), 2-time World Series champion (1977, 1978), 1976 All-Star
- CHECK/CASH STORY: Asked for cash advance instead of a check from George Steinbrenner. Stole second base and money in his back pocket came out and he picked up every bill on the dirt.
- GOOSE GOSSAGE STORY: Goose was struggling and Mickey jumped on the bullpen cart so he would not come in the game.
