Rays 5, Yankees 3: The Important Game

by jscape2000 on Oct 3, 2009 11:03 PM EDT in Game Recap

The Twins won, the Tigers lost. There is a tie atop the AL Central.

As I write, the Dodgers and Rockies are starting a series that could create a similar situation atop the NL West (though those teams are locked in as Division Champ and Wild Card).

In other news, Andy Pettitte could only managed to throw 54 of 95 pitches for strikes. The Rays drilled him for 6 hits in less than 5 innings of work. He'll be ready for the postseason.

How disinterested in winning was Joe Girardi? He started Hairston and Hinske at short and third, and pulled Tex and Damon down 2.

J... Which Yankee vet is managing tomorrow's final game?

If you missed the earlier post… I’m obviously not very good at predicting things.
But I’ll try.
Girardi has said many times that Posada was the guy they missed most last season, so I tap him to manage with CC or Mo as pitching coach.
