06/27: Yankees Waste Yet Another Good Pettitte Start
Posted by: Patrick
This is getting depressing. Pettitte goes 7 innings, allowing just 2 ER and we only score 2 runs. How does it ended? Scott Proctor comes in in the 9th and walks 3 guys. First, Corey Paterson to start the inning. Then, Brian Roberts singles and Chris Gomez pops a bunt up to Proctor for the first found. Proctor then walks Nick Markakis to load them up and walks Ramon Hernandez to score the game winning, game ending run. It was a ... walk off walk. Cripes, that is ugly. Hindsight is always fun, but I wouldn't have been sad to have seen Mo used in the 9th instead of Proctor. I mean, I guess, no matter what you have to pitch 2 innings there, so maybe it's 1 for Proctor, 1 for Mo, regardless of it is the 9th or the 10th.
Both of the Yankees runs were driven in on a 2 run home run by Johnny Damon, which also scored Miguel Cairo. Jeter and Cairo were the only Yankees to pick up more than 1 hit with Matsui, Posada (2 walks) and Cano ending up hitless.
The Red Sox lost to the Mariners, so we're still at 11 games back in the division. We're 8 games back in the wild card. The winning streak startstomorrow today!!! with Clemens going up against Erik Bedard at 7:05 PM ET.
