The Yankees fell to 1-4 for the first time since 1998 after a 3-2 loss to the Angels last night in Anaheim. The Big Unit pitched a decent game, going 8 innings and giving up three runs on seven hits while striking out eight. Derek Jeter hit his first home run of the season in the first inning and Hideki Matsui hit his 3rd in the 9th, but the Yankees' bats struggled a bit as the only player with more than one hit was Gary Sheffield.

The major play of the game was a two-run triple by Adam Kennedy that put the Angels up 3-1 in the bottom of the 5th inning. That would prove to be just enough for the Angels as Matsui's homer in the 9th was the only offense the Yankees could muster from that point on.

I know the Yankees are 1-4 now, but I really hope they don't start getting bashed in the papers already like they did after their 1-4 start back in '98. People were already jumping on the "fire Torre" bandwagon and they ended up winning 114 games. There isn't much you can gather from a team after its first five games of the season.

This afternoon's game at 3:30 will feature a nice pitching matchup between Mike Mussina and reigning A.L. Cy Young Award winner Bartolo Colon. Both pitchers will be looking for their first win of the season as Mussina earned a no-decision Tuesday night after allowing three runs on five hits against the A's at McAfee Coliseum.
