It's going to be a short post tonight...I can't take these ESPN games that start at 8:00 on a Sunday. They lead to frustrated, bleary-eyed Monday mornings in the office. The Yankees are on a complete downward spiral, dropping a series to the last place New York Mets after C.C. Sabathia was tattooed by Jason Bay, who increased his whopping home run total to 3 on the season. Once again, the Yankees' bats did not wake up until the late innings, and it was too little too late, as Alex Rodriguez failed to come through against the rain-dancing K-Rod in the ninth inning.
So congratulations, the Mets have won their World Series for 2010. This is not time for me to rip them apart. They did just take a series against my team, but they just act differently and take these games much more seriously than the Yankees do. Either way, the Yankees have no excuses for not taking at least two out of three in this series. Their bats have been silent for days, and other than Javier Vazquez, they have not had a solid start since C.C. Sabathia's outing last Tuesday against the Red Sox.
Thankfully, the team has an off day before a very difficult series at Target Field begins on Tuesday. Did anyone think that the defending World Champions would be 6 games out of first place before Memorial Day? This doesn't mean they're having a terrible season (they are still leading the Wild Card). The Rays are ridiculously good, meaning the Yankees have to battle the rest of the American League for a playoff berth.
