The Yankees scored 4 runs including 2 off a Brett Gardner double that almost, sort of, kind of gave us some momentum. Unfortunately, the momentum was stopped short.
The Bad
The momentum was stopped short by Soriano, who follows the same script every time he gives up a run. It goes something to the effect of "It was a good pitch. I got beat on a good pitch." And the thing is, I think he's telling the truth. It turns out, Soriano can't pitch like Mariano. Its a simple mistake to make though seeing as the names kind of rhyme, and the Yankee front office likes to have fun with words.
The Ugly
We lost the game. We're now facing elimination as we turn our hopes over to AJ Burnett. Burnett may surprise us. He surprised us last year when he seemingly forgot how to pitch, so surprising people is in his blood.
Homeruns Would Have Been Nice
No homeruns yesterday, which certainly didn't help our efforts and definitely didn't help the children.
Robinson Cano 1hr = $5
Curtis Granderson 1hr = $3
Nick Swisher 1hr = $3
Total = $11

I'm not hopeful either.
Oh no is right! Although if, by some miracle, we win tonight, I feel good about Nova starting game 5 at home.
Absolutely, plus the momentum of a dominating AJ performance would be huge! But Id honestly settle for a quality start of 6 innings, 3 runs.
I'd like to know what set of circumstances would result in Montero getting an AB. I assume by now that an injury would have to be involved.
We did it!
Oh yes!
