Too Many Balls...In A Row

Four straight to Jeter, 4 straight to Sheffield, then the double steal as AROD watched 2 more out of the strike zone. At that point, Rodriguez was just waiting for one in the strike zone. And boy, was it. He mashed it for a home run and baseball as we know it, at least for a Tuesday night, was over. 7-1 Yankees, and even though their bullpen tried their best to give it back, put one in the win column for the New York club. Bright spots? Manny's bat. He was 3 for 5 with four RBIs. Trot had another couple hits. But 7-1 was too much, as Mo Rivera was called upon to get the last 5 outs. And he did.
The teams are back at it tonight at 7:05. And I'll be back at it later this morning. We'll get 'em tonight. RJ vs. Clement.
