05/28: Yankees hit low point of season by being swept by Halos at home
Posted by: David
The Yankees have hit the low point of a very disappointing season. They got swept at home by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim on Sunday afternoon 4-3.
Mike Mussina had given up only two runs when he was yanked early in the sixth after walking the leadoff hitter. He was relieved by Scott Proctor, who allowed a double followed by a walk to load the bases. He then proceeded to walk two additional men in a row to force in the go ahead runs.
The Yankees got close in the bottom of the ninth when they put there first two runners on base with no outs. Melky Cabrera hit a shot to right which was caught but a run scored to cut the deficit to one run. Jeter was the last hope and he flew out deep to right center with the tying run on third.
The Yankees are now six games under .500 (the worst point of the season) and have fallen (count 'em) 12 1/2 games behind the rival Boston Red Sox.
The question will be asked more and more. Does Torre need to go? Will Cashman be right behind Torre? or Will both of them get the boot simultaneously?
Yankee fans are left to wonder!!
Update: Facts regarding Proctor's appearance fixed. Thanks mattymatty.
