Improved Bullpen

Although the bullpen has been the focal point of the Yankees struggles the past few season, the pen is actually doing a good job this season. Here are the numbers:

Ross Ohlendorf-3.27 ERA, 9 hits and 5 walks in 11 innings, 10 strikeouts
Brian Bruney-1.80 ERA, 6 hits and 4 walks in 10 innings, 11 strikeouts
LaTroy Hawkins-7.00 ERA, 11 hits and 2 walks in 9 innings 7 strikeouts
Kyle Farnsworth-4.91 ERA, 11 hits and 2 walks in 7.1 innings, 7 strikeouts
Mariano Rivera-0.00 ERA, 3 hits and 0 walks in 6.1 innings, 7 strikeouts
Joba Chamberlain-0.00 ERA, 3 hits and 1 walk in 5.1 innings, 6 strikeouts
Billy Traber-4.50 ERA, 4 hits and 1 walk in 4 innings, 5 strikeouts

Not bad statistics. The pen will be the key to holding onto one run leads. They need to pitch more like they did last night than against the Rays.
