Top 1. Dickey induces a Jeter groundout to the mound on the first pitch. Granderson also grounds out and after nearly getting hit in his growing noggin, A-Rod is frozen on a fastball for strike 3. 9 pitches. 3 outs.
Bottom 1. Torres leads off and works Sabathia to a full count before grounding out to short. Ruben Tejada returns from the DL and after another full count, whiffs.Wright lines a single to center for the first hit of the night. On a 2-2 pitch to Scott Hairston, Wright steals second and the throw to second skips into center field, and he easily takes third. I can see why CI doesn't much care for Chris Stewart being the Yankees backup catcher. Unfortunately, Hairston strikes out on a pitch in the dirt.
Top 2. Cano flies out lazily to left field. Teixeira grounds to first, Justin Turner flips the ball to Dickey, and the throw is too high. A total gift baserunner and that is not a good omen. Swisher walks. Now I'm nervous. Up comes Ibanez. Base hit. Bases loaded. Holy crap, I'm never gonna hear the end of this. Stewart pops up. Infield fly. Two down. Now Sabathia, who is an excellent hitting pitcher. A sharp grounder fielded by Wright, who touches third. three out. Whew!
Bottom 2. Duda leads off with a ground single to left. Turner has not looked good since coming off the DL. Double play ball. 4-6-3.And it really hurts since Cedeno and Thole knock back to back singles before Dickey grounds out. And the side is retired.
Top 3. Yank load the bases again on two walks and a single with one out. No 8-9 up this time. Teixeira with a sac fly. First earned run allowed since May 22. 44 2/3 innings. Three walks already in this game and I am not feeling good. Swisher up and this umpire is not giving Dickey any calls. And wouldn't you know it. Three run HR by that cocky asshole. 4-0. I'm having second thoughts abou typing...
Bottom 6: Mets rally! 5-5! Andres Torres with a huge 2-run single to make it 5-4 to chase CC and then Tejada singles off Corey Wade to score Vinny Rottino. Of course, Nieuwenhuis whiffs on a change up with the bases loaded. Side retired. Now with Dickey gone, three innings from a depleted bullpen are needed. I still think they're losing this thing.
Top 7. Batista gets Jeter, Granderson, and A-Rod. Very impressive.
Bottom 7. Logan in to pitch. Nothing happens.
Top 8. Cano HR. 6-5. And of course CI celebrates.
Bottom 8. Torres singles, steals second, and moves to 3rd on a balk with two out. Just a huge spot for Tejada. I so want to shut those damn Yankee fans up. And of course he grounds out. Another failure.
Top 9. Parnell in. 1-2-3. Well done...
Bottom 9. Wright leads off against Rafael freakin Soriano. This is NOT Mo Rivera! Strikeout. Of course. Duda does nothing. Then one hit by Murphy. And Davis chokes with a weak flyout. What a freaking embarrassment. 5 losses in 6 games. I feel absolutely sick over this disgrace of a franchise.
