The Yankees Blew A Golden Opportunity Last Night

Last night the Yankees blew a golden opportunity to give themselves just a little bit more separation from the Baltimore Orioles by dropping a 5-4 decision to the Minnesota Twins. If you're the Yankees you just can't lose to a shit team like the Twins. As soon as you see on that scoreboard that Baltimore is trailing you should be chomping at the bit to pound the team you're playing into the ground. You could have made just a little room for error but now you still have zero room. Just fucking terrible. And Joe Girardi makes me scratch my fucking head sometimes, he really does. I'm not even a Yankee fan and I was pissed off last night.

I'm not gonna totally kill him for pulling Hughes and bringing in Boone Logan because I understand the thinking behind that move. I know Hughes was throwing well, but at this time this actually made sense. Not like the bullshit that happened in the ninth inning. That I will never understand.

Down 5-3 with two outs Andruw Jones comes to the plate. Now, I understand there was a lefty pitching, but you're down by two runs with no one on base. A home run does absolutely nothing for you at this point. Why is he hitting? Let someone else hit, and if they get on, you bring up Jones against the lefty. Who was on deck? Jayson Nix? What happened in the at bat? Jones hits a home run and now it's 5-4 with a guy who's not a home run hitter coming to bat. Nix strikes out and the game ends 5-4. Fucking absolute stupidity by Girardi right there. Let Nunez hit for Ibanez and see if he can get on base, then you bring up Jones as the tying run. Absolutely atrocious managing. Now to add to it the Rays are making a little move up the standings. It may be too late for them but we all remember last season. On a night when the Yankees could have separated themselves, they fell into the trap. It's their fault, they blew that one last night.
