WHY IT WASN'T COLON'S NIGHT...AGAIN

Bartolo Colon was terrible. Not sure what you do with this guy once the Postseason begins. Right now, he's got nothing good and if he did go say 7 innings and held the Rays to 2 runs, it would have been a much different story right now. Since the All-Star break, Bartolo Colon is 2-6 with a 5.09 ERA in 69 innings pitched. He's also allowed 9 home runs. Geez. Anyway, tonight, Colon went 3 innings, allowed 7 hits on 7 runs and he only struck out 1.

Scott Proctor followed Colon and was just terrible tonight as well. He gave up 5 runs and his ERA is now up to 6.81. Look, tonight was an ugly night and sometimes guys have crappy pitching performances. Clearly, it was Colon and Proctor's night. Maybe after the game they'll go get a beer together and forget about this.Matt Moore struck out 11 Yankees tonight. He's a terrific young pitcher and his fastball was clocked at 96. Pretty impressive.

The Rays scored 15 runs tonight. Again, it was ugly for the Yanks, but the good news is, the Yankees are champions of the AL East and ready to move forward to the post season, so all this stuff is just fluff. There were some highlights, like for instance, throughout the whole game, the Yankees scored 8 runs and it looked like maybe, just maybe in the 8th inning, we may come back. But Jorge Posada came up to bat right handed with the bases loaded and he struck out. Hey look, it's not Jorge's fault, it's a long road back when you're down by that many runs. Then again, bases loaded and the momentum was going our way, how do you not even hit a single, you know what I mean?
Jesus Montero was 3 for 3 tonight with 2 RBIs and 2 walks. His stance and power are amazing and he's just a kid. It's going to be very exciting to see this guy shine in pinstripes as the years go on. He is really exciting to watch.

Andruw Jones had 3 RBIs tonight with a home run in the 6th inning. Jones is useful, even at this stage in his career. I like him in pinstripes. He filled the void.

Finally, 2 of the Killer B's were in tonight. Andrew Brackman who is 6'11" and it's clear the dude is tall when he's out there, wow. He pitched 1.1 innings and gave up 1 hit and 1 walk. Then Dellin Betances came in and shit the bed. He walked 4, and allowed 2 runs. He now has a 27.00 ERA. No biggie, the Yankees just wanted to gave the B's alittle taste.

Final Score: Rays 15 - Yankees 8
