Thank you J. Affeldt for the throwing error that allowed the Yanks to score five runs in the bottom of the ninth as A-Rod singled in the winning run with two out.
Jaret Wright struggled and got roughed up in the "unlucky" fifth inning giving up five runs to blow a 3-0 lead. I couldn't watch the game today, but I listened to the bottom of the ninth and what a great comeback. I thought we had no chance of winning until the error. Affeldt throws a tailor made double play ball into center field that led to:
*Lawton's single to load the bases.
*Tino single to drive in the first run.
*Jeter singled to drive in the second and third runs
*Sheffield doubled to drive in the fourth.
* A-Rod singles to win the game.
Lawton immediately made a contribution and strengthens our bench that is by far the weakest I've ever seen.
