Last night’s game might have been one of the most sloppy Yankee games I’ve seen in recent memory. Thus, for my sanity, as much as anything else, here are some reasons to back away from the GWB:
- CC starts today.
- Teixeira had a hit last night!
- A-Rod would have tied the game if Julio Lugo wasn’t so out of position! (yes, I know I’m stretching)
- Hughes had nothing and still lasted 5.2 innings and left with a lead.
Mostly, though, I’m optimistic because of this:
- The Yankees made a game of it in the ninth inning. Instead of going down 1-2-3, they had the tying run on third base. You get the feeling, perhaps, that had this game been played at home, the Yankees would have found a way to win it. I don’t think that 2010 becomes the Sequel to the Season of the Walkoff, but seeing the Yankees not giving away at bats is an encouraging sign.
