Ater starting the 2nd half with a 3 game sweep of the Reds to move to 3 games out of first place behind the O's,
Yanks were now facing the team with the worst record in league and lost the first game of a 4 game series.
Matt Thorton came in relief (6th inning), and gave up 2 hits to give the Rangers a 4-2 lead.......Yanks should release this stiff, he sucks.......oh, by the way....anyone still question whether the Yanks - OR ANY OTHER TEAM need an effective lefty to douse out good lefty hitters?
AND, prior to that the Yanks had bases loaded (bottom 5th)- one out with Jeter up...he promptly hit into a ground ball DP and killed the innning and ultimately the Yanks' chances of salting away a win to remain 3 games back- nope, Yanks lost a game in the standings while playing the worst team.
These are the little things which add up - I'm as big a Jeter fan as anyone, but this was a BIG GAME and you can't squander chances. The time is NOW -
Maybe The Captain should try and pull a pitch to left field ONCE and a WHILE? jeeeeez.... his exaggerated inside out swing and weak grounders to the right side are leaving a bad taste in mu mouth. SWING LIKE A MAN AND DRIVE A FEW LINE DRIVES TO LEFT FIELD for crissakes. Hey you never know, maybe a few could land over the fence for a HR. ugh
