There was a great illustration of what the Yankees have been paying for all of these years in the seventh inning of yesterday's game. The Yankees had bases loaded, no outs, with Mark Teixeira and Alex Rodriguez coming to the plate.Did anybody, anywhere expect the Yankees to score here?I had a text message all ready for Reader Matt P., but didn't want to jinx anything, so I never sent it. But this situation was more perfectly scripted than Saturday night's UFC title "fight."Teixeira struck out. A-Rod hit into a double play. And in the drafts of my text folders sat this unsent message: the (rhymes with bunt) strikes out, a-rod dp.And for an added bonus, A-Rod struck out to end the game, too. In fact, that was such a forgone conclusion that KCOP started airing the postgame show while A-Rod was going through the pretense of pretending to be a Major League player. C.C. Safattia allowing five runs in just over six innings. And legions of Yankees fans once again filed...

Via Scott Proctor's Arm  |  July 12, 2009

Bats come alive in Angels’ late inning surge over Yankees

Via SoCal Sports Hub  |  July 11, 2009
Trailing 4-0 early in the ball game after an erratic Joe Saunders allowed five runs in five innings, the Angels knew they would need some of the bats to come alive if they were going to spoil Mark Teixeira’s return to Anaheim.

Yanks Swept Out of LA

Via The Evil Empire  |  July 13, 2009
ON THE MOUND:For three straight days a Yankee starter has pitched well for the first three innings of the game. The rest, is a question. CC Sabathia allowed two hits and a walked 1 over the first three, and in the fourth, allowing four runs on four hits and a walk. A 1-0 Yankee lead turned into a 4-1 deficit. Sabathia would last until the seventh, when he allowed the Angels fifth...

Well it's that time of the year. Players rest. Minds are eased. A meaningless game is televised by Fox as fans listen to McCarver rant.

Yes indeed, it's that time. At...
