Yanks down 3-2 in the third with CC looking mediocre and the Yankee defense looking even worse with two early errors. Happ is on the mound for the Jays in this series finale before the Yanks get a rare late-season home-off-day and the dangerous O’s come to town on Thursday.
Comment away…
If Cano is so good…he should be able to carry the team for a few weeks…
So far. Total, abject failure.
Kurtis???????
BIG 2-out 2-RBI double…
2nd and 3rd, no outs…nothing from Nix, IBB to Jeter, horrible K from Swisher…
2nd and 3rd with no outs…
Bases loaded with 1 out for the #2 and #3 hitters…
ZERO FUCKING RUNS.
This team is so terrible with men on base. It makes no sense.
And then a K from Cano. What a failure with RISP…
Through 4 innings each, Happ has thrown 92 pitches and CC has thrown 53…that SHOULD bode well, but we really need CC to settle down…
Both Happ and CC have incredibly efficient 5th innings throwing 8 total pitches each…onto the 6th. We need insurance runs and/or a strong complete game from CC, esp as Robertson is unavailable and Soriano may very well be unavailable…
Way to give a strong ace performance CC…5-4 Jays on a 2-run HR by Escobar.
CC blows another lead…
I love this team. They really want it bad, that’s what I love the most…
…and this lineup is pure power for the Jays. I mean, playoff-caliber…
OH WAIT. They are the COMPLETE OPPOSITE of that…
No outs, man on first. CC getting pummeled. Gave up 5 hits in the 3rd inning and has given up 3 hits so far here in the 6th.
CC gets the second out on his seventh strikeout of the day. To bad he has given up almost that many runs to go along with the Ks…
Heccevarria-ariagopolous-pompadour singles. A one run-deficit vs. 4 innings of the Toronto bullpen is not insurmountable…but you gotta hold them here CC…
8th K. finally ends the inning. So he has given up 9 hits, all across two innings. Very, very un-CC-like. Not a good time to slump CC.
Nix with a no-out double off the wall. Let’s do this Ichiro…
Thanks to the Yankee defense CC’s 2 earned runs turned into 5 total runs for Toronto.
Please don’t break my heart again with no-out-RISP failure…….
Ichiro Ks faster than I can say I should be working. Chavez pinch hitting
Ground out moves Nix to 3rd. Jeter with 2 outs…
Jeter Ks. Leadoff double and they get nothing. Men on 2nd and 3rd and they get nothing. If this team were a pack of lions you could throw baby lambs in their cage and they’d starve to death. Yes, it’s a stupid and non-sensical metaphor. I’m too annoyed to think straight. I’m starting to fear the Baltimore Orioles. And that just makes me more annoyed.
Ichiro makes a great catch on Lind’s deep drive to end the inning. Runs please.
One pitch one out. Cano up with Jones on deck. May be the last shot that the (rancid) meat of our order gets today…
Cano with a double. That is halfway to home for most teams.
Jones Ks. UN-BE-LIEV-ABLE. How many Ks is that with RISP?!?!!?!?!
Weak groundout to 1st by Granderson ends the inning. Great job fellas.
2nd with no outs…
Down a run at home in the 7th…
Involved in a suddenly heating up pennant race…
Still cannot score a single, fucking run.
Boy, look out for this juggernaut in October baby!
4 pitches by Lowe: 2 hits, no outs. Game about to get out of hand.
Logan comes in to try to mop up Lowe’s mess.
K. Nice job Boone. 1 out – not nearly out of the woods yet. Girardi bringing in Eppley. I’m out of here. I’ve got to work and this is just depressing baseball anyway.
Bases loaded in the 9th…with a 1 run deficit…
2 outs.
Joba in.
I wonder how many he will give up?
This season is over.
Game.
Jones blows a play, Joba gets rocked…
Fucked. Totally fucked.
Today’s story: Let down by 1. our defense; 2. our ace; 3. our hitters with RISP.
With Teix and A-Rod out, we may encounter #1 a fair amount in the coming weeks.
We shouldn’t encounter #2 much – CC is solid.
We have been dealing with #3 all season long and there is no reason to think it will improve now that some of our best hitters are out.
Sox are in an absolute spin dive. Not that it particularly matters or is surprising given THE TRADE or anything…just mildly annoying now.
