Joba Chamberlain is Efficient

Your eyes are not deceiving you. 48 pitches and two runs in an inning where the ball never leaves the infield.

David Price is blushing.

You know

After watching that highlight of Castillo dropping the ball, it just really pissed me off for a few reasons:
1) The Yankees escaped losing, which always sucks. They deserved to lose.
2) Who catches breaks like that, only the Yankees do
3) There were 2 outs AND they were losing, so the catch meant game over.
4) I’m a New Yorker and I HATE the Yankees and to see them celebrate as if A-rod hit a game winning homerun is pathetic

Oh and 5) Rivera should have taken the loss in the game. I hate it when Rivera gets rewarded for blowing the lead.

My twisted sense of humor of seeing a fail that bad overrode my hatred for the Yankees.

And the fact that I had just finished watching Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals with my buddy who is a Mets fan and then turned around to see this just sent me over the edge into a laughing fit.

So you don't think that the Rays caught 2 similar breaks when

NIck Johnson, who has a reputation as a good fielder, first missed a hard hit ball right at him that turned into an RBI double for the Rays and then muffed an easy foul pop giving Kapler another chance in which he hit the ball barely over the wall on an arms only swing?

While we're talking about other teams,

Did anyone catch Gomer demolishing a ball at Kaufman last night? Hit-tracker had it at 450 feet, anyway here’s the video and here’s the hit-tracker stuff

Rays Win!
