Grumble Grumble
Mariano Rivera finally gave up a run last night, and it ended up being the game-winner in Tampa Bay’s 2-1 win over the Yankees. I don’t blame Mo for the loss though, I blame yet another pathetic showing by an offense that has been the single biggest reason behind the Yankees’ underperformance this year.
Chien-Ming Wang pitched pretty well and Hideki Matsui hit a game-tying HR in the top of the ninth to give the Yankees a glimmer of hope. I wish I could say I was surprised at the loss, but I completely expected it. The Yankees have a very legitimate chance at getting swept now with Tampa’s two best pitchers lined up for the third and fourth games of the series.
