U-G-L-Y

That was an ugly game.  A game the Yankees should have easily won. 

If you told before the game that the Yankees would have 20 baserunners, would steal 5 bases, would draw 14 walks, I'd say they'd score at least 8-9 runs, and that's an understatement.  The offense continues to get on base but always seem to falter with runners in scoring position.  Tonight was no exception.  2 for 15 w/ RISP.  16 runners LOB.  It's frustrating.  1 hit would have likely won the game.

Wang's pitching performance was wasted.  The rotation has looked very sharp over the last several games.  I'll take his outing any day of the week from any of our starters.

What's up with Bubba running into that DP?    How did the YES network call him the Player of the Game?

Cano continues to impress.  Another 2 hits and his hitting streak is extended.

Jeter was again clutch.  His 10th inning 2-out single kept it going. 

Am I the only one that thought Sheffield gave up on beating out the grounder to Wiggington in the 10th?  He always pulls up as opposed to hustling through the bag.  He probably wouldn't have beat it out but still put forth the effort if the game is on the line.

Rivera was off his game but he didn't really get hit hard.  He needs more work.  He's well behind his normal IPs through 18 games.

I liked the aggressiveness in this situation as opposed to the Baltimore game.  We weren't really hitting the ball so moving guys over with SBs and sacrifice bunts was a good approach.  We just needed the hits.

Al Leiter is an awesome analyst.  Anyone know where Michael Kay is?

How did they score only 2 runs????
