I'm assuming you want more than the unintentional comedy of Toronto automatically turning A-Rod into a cop groping, Brass Rail living sex fiend. Well okay then, let me dig deep into my well of self-delusion and see what I come up with.
It wasn't fun at the Rogers Centre last night. 2-5 in the Yankees order all reached base at least 3 times. Damaso Marte managed to hold us off the score sheet for an inning. Ricky Romero continued his late season decline. And Jason Frasor evidently wanted us to feel the pain a little longer.
But call me the innovator of ignorance, because I've got your rose colored glasses view right here. Raul Chavez had 2 doubles, 3 hits and 2 RBI's on the night. He's hitting .308 since August 1st. I was going to include the Great White Hope Travis Snider on here for his 2 for 3 night with a double, but considering he was feeling generous and handed the pinstripes 2 runs in the first he gets the cold shoulder.
What else?
Lyle Overbay - A lot of people are going to remember the 8th last night for a pair of nice ranging plays Aaron Hill made on grounders that had eyes for the hole. What they probably won't make mention of is the pair of nice scoops Lyle Overbay made on the throws that were in the dirt. May not be nearly as flashy, but it's better being Aaron Hill when you've got a great first baseman like Lyle.
Brandon League & Shawn Camp - Hey look, League pitched into a second inning and didn't get bombed! And Camp continues to be Mr Reliable!
DRAFT! - We're Number 8! We're Number 8! And just a game out of picking 5th! More draft picks not to sign!
Is it too early to start drinking?
