Watched this game on quasi-YES on MLB.tv, which featured some scintillating shots of the game from behind a cage. Woo. After Schilling gave up the Cano home run, the YES announcers were going on about how he was really struggling, and while I know he wasn’t the greatest it was still 5 innings pitched, 3 ER (and only 4 hits), which was hardly atrocious.
Anyway, al-Yankeezera got a nice taste of ‘umble pie when Jaret Wright imploded. My only worry is that the big Tek hits cements him into the 6-spot in the lineup, and then he proceeds to GIDP as per the first at-bat (and indeed, if not for A-Rod being slow to get the ball out of the glove for his second AB it would’ve been 2 up, 4 down). Even so, when Tek came up against Scott Proctor I was pretty sure a run or two would score. Why, I can’t say. Except that Proctor’s arm is probably held together by two rubber bands by now.
World Cup starts tonight. Sport is life. Have to say though, I’m quite impressed by the event being carbon-neutral.
