Game 64, Subway Seires, Game 1

Sorry about not posting this week. I had no good words for Tuesday's game, still bad things to say about Wednesday's game, and more bad things about another blown game last night. Soo, against the Mets.

Cano homers in the second to be the first run of the game. In the third with bases loaded, Joba walks 1 and hits another batter to allow 2 runs. But the Yankees get them back in the bottom Teixeira homer while Garnder was on. 2-3. Won't hold the lead long, in the fifth, a double, walk, double and home run scores 4 for the Mets. The Yankees only get 1 back in the bottom with a Jeter home run. 6-4. But in the bottom of the sixth the Yankees do a lot more damage. With a Cano single, Posada walk, and a Matsui homer, the Yankees retake the lead 6-7. Wow Sheffield is mean. In the seventh, he doubles and scores on a single to tie up the score. 7-7. The Yankees give up the tie in the next inning with a walk and a double. 8-7. The game won't be decided till a most embarrassing play in the bottom of the ninth.

We all know the scenerio. Bottom of the ninth, runners on, two out. Tonights hero is Alex Rodriguez with a pop up. Thats right, a pop up was the game winning hit. Jeter singles, Teixeira intentionally walked and Rodriguez comes up in the ninth with 2 on and 2 out. He hits a pop up to Mets second baseman Luis Castillo. Castillo DROPS THE BALL, and with 2 out, nothing is holding Jeter and Teixeira to their bases. They're on their horses, both round third and score during the confusion of the missed catch! Yankees win 8-9!

Joba has had worse and better starts. This one goes with 4 innings pitched, 1 hit, 2 earned runs, 5 WALKS!, and 3 strike outs. Those 5 walks were the cause of the earned runs. Rivera does not get a save but he does get a Win.

Jeter went 2-5, scoreing 2 runs with an RBI. Teixeira went 1-3, scoreing 2 runs with 2 RBIs and 2 walks. Cano was 2-4 scoring 2 runs with 1 RBI.

The loss down in the labels is to catch up with my count, having skipped 3 posts.
