The New York Yankees lost to the Chicago White Sox by a score of 10-5. Sergio Mitre started but got a no decision. David Robertson got the loss. What poor baseball fundamentals the starting pitcher for the White Sox had. He should of beat Jeter to the bag for the out in the first inning. I was wondering if Mitre could hold the White Sox down after the Yankees scored early. Then I realized he’s a journey man pitcher. When Mitre fell in the second inning, it was a Pettitte replay from yesterday. Most of Mitre’s pitchers were up so he had no chance against the White Sox. It must be really boring being a starting pitcher on a baseball team because you have to sit and watch for four games. Why did Robinson Cano go to first base after Beckham hit a sacrifice fly to center in the second? Some might of thought it was a bad throw by Melky but Cano wasn’t there for him to throw it to. Who’d think Hinske would tie the game up in the fourth inning with a two run home run? This game is really going to drain the Yankee bull pen for the next couple of days. That umpire was all over the place tonight. There was no consistency. I’m glad Jeter stole a base because I have him on roto fantasy baseball. Melky has good range in the outfield. I don’t believe that once you are in the major leagues that you will grow and get stronger. The only way that happens is if you take steroids. I’m pretty sure you stop growing at the age of 19. Johnny Damon really didn’t make a great catch in the bottom of the seventh inning. He was his normal self in the outfield. He ran in first before he backed up to catch it. Aceves was hit hard in the seventh inning and it was a matter of time before they scored on him. I have to admit, that was a nice double steal by the White Sox that scored another run. The White Sox were very aggressive in the seventh inning. The play were Tex deflected the ball but Getz scored? That was aggressive. They scored four runs and increased the lead to 10. Did you see A-Rod get thrown out at second trying to stretch his base hit into a double in the ninth inning? Maybe if he was running hard the whole time instead of watching the ball he would of made it. He shouldn’t of tried anyway down by five runs. The best news for us is that we have our big three pitchers starting the next three games but in two of those games the Yankees will facing studs Buehrle and Halladay. The bottom line: Sergio Mitre is a journeyman pitcher so you shouldn’t of expected much from him. The Yankees did however fall apart in the seventh inning. If the Yankees had a decent starting pitcher as their fifth starter, then maybe the Yankees wouldn’t of had to stretch their bull pen tonight.
