Wright Off

Judging from what I've read on other Yankee-blogs, we're all pretty much in agreement that last night's game stunk it up.  A stagnant offense, questionable pitching (though improved) and a blown call all led to the Yankee loss.  But you have to give credit where credit is due, and the credit goes to Roy Halladay.  Before the season started, Halladay was my pick to be the AL Cy Young winner.  When he's healthy, Halladay is arguably the best pitcher in the AL.  If not the best, he's up there with Johan Santana.  The Jays are a legitimate contender for the AL East.

So a loss where the Yankees threw Jaret Wright against Halladay doesn't bother me as much as say if we had the Big Unit on the hill facing off with Josh Towers (tonight's matchup).  Towers needs to get lit up.  Then again, I expected Seth McClung to get lit up and we all know what happened.  I didn't like our chances yesterday so for me the game was a write-off.

I'm likely going to miss most of the game today so leave me some updates if anything bad/good happen.  I'll also be making the rounds when I return to get thoughts on the game from my fellow Yankee bloggers.  Some friends and I are heading to Erie to see the Tigers AA affiliate, the Erie Sea Wolves take on the Binghamton Mets.  My one friend's brother is the closer for the Sea Wolves, goes by the name of Chris Homer.  We're going to get in a round of 9 at the links and hang out with him until he has to head to the ballpark.  He's not regarded as one of the Tigers top 20 prospects, but who knows, maybe one day he'll make it to "The Show."  Wish him luck and enjoy your day.

Go Yankees!
