Now this was a kick in the you know what. The Yankees were just cruising. Alex Rodriguez hit two more homeruns and the Yankees had a nice, comfortable 6-2 lead. Then similar to what the Yanks did to the Indians yesterday, things just turned around all at once.
Double, walk, ground out, single. Now it’s 6-3 and Mariano Rivera is brought in to stop the damage right? You wonder if something is wrong with Rivera because he gives up single, triple, single before Alex Cora is caught stealing for the second out. By this time, the Red Sox have the lead. Rivera strikes out Julio Lugo but by this time, the damage has already been done.
I hate giving the Red Sox hope too, especially when they’re playing in the shit box. And it’s Jeff Karstans versus Josh Beckett tomorrow and that doesn’t give me a warm fuzzy feeling. And what can you say about A-Rod. Only two other players have ever had 12 homers and 30 RBIs in April and A-Rod has done it with nine games left in the month. I’d say he deserves a day off, but all he does is walk around the bases.
