A-Rod's Revenge
Last night Alex Rodriguez committed two costly errors during a crucial game for the division lead against rival Boston and Yankees owner George Hitler singled him out during one of his usual yellings.
Tonight was different. A-Rod took Curt Schilling deep in the fifth inning to give the Yankees a 4-3 lead that would be built onto more later.
Mike Mussina started off the game with a huge two-run shot thanks to David Ortiz and later extended to a 3-0 lead. Yankees then tied it the next half inning and in the third, Jason Giambi smacked a game-tying home run.
A-Rod then had his mentioned go-ahead shot with two out and two batters later, Jorge Posada made it 7-3 with his blast.
Schilling took the loss and Mussina took the win.
God, I hate Curt Schilling. Ever since we was with the Diamondbacks I have hated him. One, he beats on the Yankees, two, in 2004, he mentioned something link there is no greater sound than having 57,000 New York fans shut the hell up, then the Yankees beat him. I just hate Schilling, he is a great pitcher, but there is just something about him that I hate.
Back to the recap.
Torre for some odd reason put in Mariano Rivera to close out the game in a non-save situation. Hey, Torre, save his arm, it's a long season.
With the win, the Yankees regain first place by percentage points.
Final Score:
Yankees 7, Red Sox 3
Up Next:
Red Sox @ Yankees
