Yankees Win Tom Sweet Peter Lugers Steak! Grant Rogers is my Hero!

Hey Grant, thanks in advance for the final awesomeness of buying me one last steak dinner this season for winning the division! Yanks are 5-0 in the post season and A-Rod, Jeter and the boys are on fire! We'll rate Lugers one last time this season and compare them to the other top steak houses from our tour. Strip House and Wolfgang's both took higher scores overall than the infamous Peter Lugers - but the Brooklyn based, former crowned champs will get one last shot!

Hey Grant, we making these bets next year? I loved the incredible free steak you bought me 5 times! (compared to the mere 2 that were on me all season long) Rock on with your Red Sux and damaged credit card balance!!! "Did you ever know that you're my hero?" (as sung by Bette Midler)

Yankees win first game in ALDS

The Yankees had the postseason in mind when they gave Sabathia the largest contract of any pitcher, believing he would come through with big performances when it counted the most. The ace did not disappoint on Wednesday, pitching into the seventh inning as the Yankees defeated the Twins, 7-2, in Game 1 of the American League Division Series.

"This is what you come here for -- to have a chance to win and pitching in the postseason, playing in October," said Sabathia, the first winning pitcher in a playoff game at the new Stadium. "It was electric tonight. It felt good. I had a lot of fun out there."

Derek Jeter and Hideki Matsui hit two-run homers for the Yankees, who also received the benefit of run-scoring hits from Alex Rodriguez and Nick Swisher to take an early advantage in the best-of-five series against Minnesota, a club against whom New York was 7-0 in the regular season.

Trusting that his offense would arrive, Sabathia struck out eight and walked none in his sixth career postseason start. The left-hander exited after 6 2/3 innings, allowing two runs (one earned) and scattering eight hits before leaning on his efficient bullpen.

"That's what we envisioned when we signed him -- CC would be pitching in late October and November," said Joe Girardi, a winner in his first game as a postseason manager. "It was the reason we got him. We thought that he could lead this staff and be the ace of this staff, and that's what he has been for us."

STK Review

This time we took our lovely ladies with us and it was quite the scene at STK on little 12th ST. Kelsey Grammer and his wife came in while we were waiting for our table. The place is pretty sweet looking and upscale cool. We ordered porterhouse for two, a filet and the tuna. The bread, heirloom tomatoes and octopus started us off and we had the mac and cheese, truffled parmesan fries and creamed spinach sides which were all pretty solid but way overpriced for their portions. Since we have been completely spoiled by some of the best steaks in the city recently our expectations did not meet reality this time. Just a solid steak, nothing special though. Pretty expensive place to be seen and shelling out $95 for porterhouse for two! I think it should sing us a Jane's Addiction song and make us do a little dance of delight! Thanks for the steak, once again Grant you are a gentleman!
