Game 136 - Yankees vs. Rays

Bleck!!?!!
What is the deal with the Rays and Mike Mussina? He owns them. The whole time I was watching the game all I could think about was Mussina as Henry Rowengartner and the Rays as Heddo, “Henry, he can’t hit your fastball”. Ugh it was not pretty, and the umpire was not helping. Aki looked at so many pitches I was honestly wondering if something was wrong with him.
Then the umpire went and pissed off the ever volatile Matt Garza. First he was pissed because Jeter should have been out by a mile at second but the play was biffed. Can you imagine how freakin pissed he would have been if he played for the Rays last year and had to deal with that defense? Look out. Then he struck out Alex Rodriguez but didn’t get the call and ended up walking him. That kinda pissed me off and I’m a pretty reasonable chick.
I think Matt had reason to be pissed off, and he’s super entertaining that way, but when he get angry he gives away the game. Maybe he needs a little refresher with that baseball guru.
BJ made a stellar catch at the wall in dead center. So proud.
So here’s a question. I know Hinske should have looked at the third base coach when rounding second, but if Hinske is safe with a triple shouldn’t Aybar be safe at home? They never really showed it at an angle so that you could see Willy and if he could have scored.
Okay we should just chalk that one up to losing to their ace, but I sorta feel like the Rays beat themselves. So let’s hope they come out tonight and stick it to those Yanks. If they don’t, I’m going to blame the Professor and his many Yankees are roadkill comments. :) I know they have basically no chance to make the playoffs but I’d really like to see the Rays put them away. Go Rays!!
