Mark Teixeira hit two home runs today, but it was not enough, as the Yankees lost to the Royals 7-4. Sergio Mitre took the loss, going 4.2 innings, giving up seven hits and seven runs. (5 earned) Mitre threw 72 pitches, 44 for strikes.
Both Brett Gardner (acid reflux) and Nick Swisher (achilles) were not in the lineup, though Swisher did hit a pinch-hit fly out. The Yankees offense came from two home runs by Teixeira and a solo home run off the bat of Jorge Posada.
Alex Rodriguez did not hit his 600th home run, as he went 1-4. A-Rod will go for 600 tomorrow vs. Sean O'Sullivan, who you may remember as the starter for the Angels who beat the Yankees earlier this week (traded in the Alberto Callaspo deal)
The final out of the game caused controversey, as there was first and second with two outs for Teixeira. Teixeira hit a ground ball to Yuniesky Betancourt, who fired it to first and appeared to have gotten the out at first to end the game. The out was called, but the replays showed that Teixeira was actually safe. If safe, the bases would have been loaded for Alex Rodriguez and A-Rod would have had a chance to hit a walk off grand slam for number 600.
Comment of the Game: Not the funniest comment by far of the game, but jeeptheheap gets it because I completely agree with him.

I suggested that the Yankees allow KC to score 6 runs so that Arod could use 600 to walkoff
Apparently he didn’t get the sarcasm

Also in regards to the umpiring situation
Posted this in the overflow:
What’s kind of odd is the player’s reaction to the umpiring problem. I think like only 20% of players said they would add more instant replay? Kind of surprising to me, but a statement that seems to say that replay won’t be extended further any time soon…

So what was the funniest one then?

Used that comment as an excuse not to find the funniest

I will say though that
if the bases were loaded in the bottom of the 9th and A Rod did in fact get up, I would be rooting for the game winning GS
funny, that should have happened

Ahh, I remember my first CoG...
I believe it was earlier this season when Mo couldn’t pitch that day and they had to use 4 pitchers to get the save in the 9th or something

I WAS RIGHT
He was safe. I knew it was a bullshit call. It was clear even from the upper deck he was fucking safe. Like I said at the game, that was the most shameful, clear case of the ump deciding before the ball was hit that if it was a close play at the bag, he was gonna call him out anyway due to the heat.

BS Call
I was behind the foul pole and I could tell he was safe, this moron was getting tired and wanted to go back home. Theres gotta be some instant replay thing

Nothing really to say about this forgettable game but I thought Sergio’s name made a good subject line…
