How do you get upset over losing a game that was basically decided by one hanging breaking ball in the top of the first inning? Both pitchers were brilliant, and the Yankees lost.
Let's try a one sentence game recap.

Buoyed by a bruising first inning drive, the sychophants spent the rest of the game glorifying the indomitable one while ignoring the equally impressive performance of the venerable pinstriped pitcher; while the baseball world salivated over Halladay-Lincecum, one pitch put the Yankees on the wrong side of a gem.
Play of the Game: Hamilton's homer- nothing else was close.
