Split fine, but not in way imagined
Alright, let’s get things straight. When the Rangers beat the Rays, I though that we had a great chance at wining the first two games against Texas, but it was more likely to split the opening games at Airlington. My thinking was that we would lose (if we were going to) to C.J. Wilson because of the long layoff. But in actuality, the Yanks won the first game (but C.C. did falter in most likely due to the extra rest). So when game 2 was soon to begin, I thought to myself, “Well, were about to go back home with a 2-0 lead on the series with the pitcher with the most ever playoff wins in the history of baseball, not bad at all.”
But it wasn’t to be, as Phil Hughes stunk (Girardi did keep him in the game too long though) and the offense couldn’t come back again. They continually left men on base (it seemed like every inning there were two guys on base with no outs) and I even got mad at Cano for hitting a home run with no one on.
However don’t worry Yankees fans, there’s still hope. Cliff Lee could tank and give up 3 or 4 runs, because, I mean, come on, we gotta beat him one time right? We DO have the best offense in all of MLB, right? Andrew Eugene Pettitte, a likely hall-of-famer is throwing for us, so why he can throw 7 innings of shutout ball as much as anyone else can, right?
Ahhh, the questions of baseball, and more specifically, playoff baseball.
