WHY SABATHIA COULDN'T SET THE TONE

I'm not blaming CC Sabathia, you shouldn't either.  But one thing I love about CC is when he gets out there, he can usually tame the opposing team easily, meanwhile the Yankees will chip away and make a win out of it.  It's the perfect combination...but not tonight... tonight the Yankees just looked flat.

Sabathia couldn't find the plate and that's not him. Yes, he had a 1,2,3 1st but then he seemed to struggle.  Usually when he struggles he re-invents himself and grinds it out, but tonight, it looked like even that didn't work.  I knew right away CC was going to struggle.  Look, he tried but he couldn't.  No worries, I'm not mad at him.  The other part of this disappointing puzzle is simple...the Yankees had a ton of opportunities with men on base, but they couldn't do damage.  These games suck, what else can I say? We shut the door on a crappy day (injuries and tonight's loss) and we start fresh tomorrow...it's all we can do.


Sabathia went 6 innings, allowed 8 hits and 4 runs. He also had only 6 strikeouts and as far as runs tonight for my Yankees, well, they scored just 2, both from Curtis Granderson on his home run in the 7th... his 13th.  Derek Jeter also had another hit tonight.  His average is at .366 this season.  Still pretty amazing. But through all of this, the Yankees had men on base and no one was able to get around to score.

Wei-Yin Chen pitched well for the Orioles, what can I say, we lost.

Yankees lose: 5-2
