Melkman delivers

Wow, did Melky Cabrera pimp it after hitting a two-run shot in the 14th inning Wednesday to give New York a 9-7 victory over the Oakland A's.
Not bad for Brett Gardner's back up.
It was the second homer of the game for Melky, which should be proof that something is going on with a wind tunnel at the new Stadium.
A record 26 homers were hit on the opening homestand, one more than the previous mark set at Kansas City's Municipal Stadium in 1955, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Seventeen of the homers went to right field, raising suspicion that there might be a wind tunnel.
There has been talk that the Yanks hope to fix the problem, if there is one. I kind of like all the homers.
