Robby and Melky

Robinson Cano and Melky Cabrera can also flash a smile with Cano's reaching from ear-to-ear. These two Dominicans represent their country well in their version of the "bash brothers." 

Cabrera has four walk-off hits this year already, including his two-run shot yesterday that saved Chien Ming-Wang from another loss. They are both currently hitting above .300, with Cano tied for the team lead in hits, and one off Tex's leading pace in doubles.

Is this the year for  No. 27?

Who knows. But talent for New York has always been there to win the World Series every year. The pitching staff is coming around and the lineup has been fearsome since Alex Rodriguez a.k.a. "The Distraction" came back from injury. 

Clubhouse chemistry is an element of the game that could be the deciding factor in New York's championship hopes.

In 2009, for the first-place Yankees, so far so good.
