Yankees Continue to Struggle, Drop Three of Four to Blue Jays

by @ 1:24 pm. Filed under 2006 Season

Talk about downers.  The Yankees came out of the box after the All Star break and swept the White Sox.  Since then, they’ve been dog shit.  They’re now closer to the Jays who are behind them then they are to the Red Sox and the only good news is the White Sox have been struggling, so we’re still barely in second place in the Wild Card race, 2 1/2 games back.

The Yankees scored a run in the eighth to tie it on Thursday, and they sent the game into extra frames, but Mariano Rivera gave up a run in the eleventh and took the loss.  Mike Mussina was mediocre but he lasted seven innings.  Jorge Posada had three hits and that eight inning RBI.

Alex Rodriguez was the Yankees offense on Friday.  His three run homerun was all the Yankees put on the board in the 7-3 loss.  Jaret Wright was gone before the end of the third inning and Shawn Chacon wasn’t much better in relief. 

The Yankees finally won yesterday, but the big news was A-Rod’s four strikeouts.  Bernie Williams homered and drove in two runs in the 5-4 win and Derek Jeter had two hits and an RBI.  Chien Ming Wang gave up four runs on ten hits and one walk through six innings but he picked up his eleventh win.  Scott Proctor, Kyle Farnsworth and Mariano Rivera all pitched a shutout inning to close out the game.

This afternoon’s game was ugly.  Sidney Ponson and the Yankees pen were shelled to the tune of 13 runs on 15 hits.  Jorge Posada hit a three run shot and while the Yankees managed 13 hits, they stranded eight guys.  The Jays hit five homeruns in the 13-5 loss.

Next up is a three game series in Texas, who are currently in second place in the AL West.  It’s time to put together a nice little winning streak because August is right around the corner.  Time to win.
