U G L Y they ain't got no alibi

But at least they won.

I'm starting to get the same feeling watching Yankees/Rays that I get watching Yankees/Red Sox: a mixture of annoyance, nerves, frustration, possibly constipation. I don't know.

How do you blow a 6-1 lead? How do you hang a rookie pitcher out to dry, when you hook a your horse after 8 2/3 when he's a proven finisher? It's as if Joe Girardi is managing backward.

The guy really makes no sense. His contract can't end soon enough.

And so, the Yankees some how find themselves back in first place, by the grace of a pinch hit bomb, 24 innings into a three-game set with another to go and Phil Hughes on the mound.
