Indians 4, Yankees 1: It Was All Set Up for A-Rod, And ... Nothing

PrintIt was all there for Alex Rodriguez and the New York Yankees. History, an instant Yankee Classic and a great comeback. Ninth-inning, two-on, two-out, Yankees down three and A-Rod at the plate still seeking home run No. 600.
Then the mighty A-Rod swung at a Chris Perez pitch and ... bounced to short. Ballgame over. Yankees lose! Rodriguez remains annoyingly, frustratingly and unfortunately stuck at 599 home runs.
OK, so the Yankees -- as they so often do with pitchers they have never seen -- made Josh Tomlin look like Greg Maddux in his major-league debut. The kid went 7+ innings and surrendered just three harmless hits. I guess we all should have seen that one coming.
By the way, am I the only one annoyed that Manager Joe Girardi left CC Sabathia in the game for 123 pitches? I know CC can do that, but geez. The guy was struggling, the Yankees were behind, why keep pushing the guy? I know his choices might not be appealing, but did Joe forget he does have a bullpen?
Oh, well. Time to forget this one and look ahead
Play of the Game: FanGraphs says it was Matt LaPorta's 6th-inning double that made the score 3-0.

very frustrating
and it dates back many years. Now, I’m not one to ever bet on my team in Vegas….but if I was strapped for cash, like really strapped….I would look for a game when a guy will make his major league debut against us and ante up for that team.
Anyone out there – feel free to prove me wrong and show me some stats – like the Yanks record against major league debuts in the last decade. I watch alot of games and it seems like we stay having this issue.

The above 33 comments is just about the lamest collection I have seen in my year or so on this site.
Fausto Carmona, the man whose name looks like an unsolved JUMBLE puzzle, is capable of pitching very well. Tonight would be a good time to find some offense, have ARod hit a home run, and stay ahead of the Rays, who keep beating the Tigers.

It's all about the "O"
I can’t remember a season where the offense, collectively, has been so inconsistent. When they do put up a lot of runs, they then seem to go right back to ineptitude for another long stretch. Thank God for the pitching this year.
