2 Games, 2 Losses, 2 Crappy

The Good

Hector Noesi continues to impress in his long relief role. The Yankees have been getting a good amount of homeruns including contributions from Cano, who went 3-5 yesterday and Teixeira who hit a homerun in both games.

The Bad

The bullpen has been giving up our leads of late. On Friday it was Logan and Ayala who combined to give the game away, and last night it was the heartbreaking efforts of Mariano Rivera. "I was trying to invent a new pitch." Explained Mariano. "It doesn't work."

Indeed.

The Ugly

A combined 8.2 innings from our starters in these two games is no good. Burnett limited damage and managed to get through 5 innings, but Nova gave up 4 runs in 3.2 innings of work. We can blame the bullpen, but we need more from our starters if we're going to get anywhere.

You Can Keep the Losses But We'll Take the Homeruns
