    The ball that Fielder hit to Drew.....he throws ball
    high to Gregorius who got nailed by Andrus. He had
    a sure out at first. I DO NOT GIVE THIS POS A PASS.
    Why didn't he get an error? Instead, they gave the play
    'a fielder's choice'. BS ruling.
    Drew must go. He has no baseball savvy.

    Agree - but the "wild pitch" turned the whole inning around.
    That particular pitch from Wilson bounced straight and true over the middle of the plate under McCann's glove as he was already coming out of his crouch WAY to high- glove was 6-8" above the ground.

    I "love" McCann, good gritty catcher who can hit but - imo - blocking pitches in the dirt isn't one of his strong points and naturally whenever a pitch hits the dirt regardless of anything, it's always called a "wild pitch".

    And by NO means am I or will I lay blame on him if the Yanks lose this game.

    There you go. Another walk to the lead off batter. I've had enough.

    Outstanding, Fat Ass Sabathia couldn't control his game, the goat ropers beat the Yankees 5 of 7, tied this series, Miller give up the GWRBI to meth head Hamilton, that's real championship baseball gang. But don't worry, the Yankees got Dustbin Ackley.

    Two walks in the inning pretty much spelled the end.

    Yanks won't be facing Sale in Chicago but baseball doesn't play into things like that as other team sports do because YOUR SP pitcher and bullpen still have to take care of business and we're talking about winning or losing a 3 game series - take out the starting QB in football for a game and it makes a BIG difference, take away an NBA team's best player for a game- same thing.
    Despite Sale not pitching in this series I don't think it would be a big surprise/disappointment if the Yanks lose 2/3 in Chicago.
    But make no mistake, Yanks have no excuses and "we" are very reasonable expecting the Yanks to win THIS series in Chicago.

    I was thinking the very same thing, during the Jacoby ordeal/incident, tumbling, unlike I've ever seen Him, as a Yankee.

    Even Superman trips on his cape now and then.

    It's un-avoidable for any player, over time, sooner or later.......

    I expect it may be a couple/few yrs before we see an miscue play out of Jacoby......!!!

    The Yankees are going to have to tether that blimp to the mooring mast, he is hurting his team each time out.
