Marathon Affair Goes to Baltimore

This one had a little bit of everything, but if you're a Yankee fan it didn't matter one bit.


Ian Kennedy was terrible before leaving with an injury, Ross Ohlendorf wasn't much better, Jason Giambi, Johnny Damon, Bobby Abreu and Alex Rodriguez all went deep and Hideki Matsui singled in the go-ahead run in the 11th inning, but it wasn't enough as LaTroy Hawkins allowed two runs in the bottom of the 11th to give the Orioles a 10-9 victory over the Yanks in Baltimore.

This ballgame was chock full of terrible starting pitching, awful relief, solid relief, home runs, spotty defense, missed opportunities, small ball, clutch hits and a rain delay.  And sadly (or maybe thankfully), I missed most it because I "hit the town" with some friends after work.  I walked through the door in time to see the Yanks take the lead in the top of the 11th and then watched it fall apart in the bottom of the frame.

Hence, no good, bad and ugly roundup.  This was a tough loss for the Bombers and I only absorbed the final inning.

Andy Pettitte (4-5, 4.27 ERA) will try and right the ship on Wednesday against Jeremy Guthrie (2-5, 3.62 ERA).

If the bullpen is going to be this bad, what's going to happen when Joba is taken out of it?

That's the thing. I wasn't "into" the game, but if Joba was available, the Yanks could have used him for two innings instead of Mo and then used Rivera for the save.
