I am going to ditch my typical recap format because I do not have the heart for it right now. The lone bright spot last night was Mark Melancon, who pitched two shutout innings of varying quality, with one going 1-2-3 and the other having him load the bases and then get three straight outs. Everyone else pretty much stunk. Three runs allowed by Pettitte with two outs in the 5th, including a steal of home? Are you kidding me? No runs off the uninspiring trio of Hunter Jones, Michael Bowden, and Takashi Saito, all of whom fell behind almost every hitter they faced? Unacceptable. Don’t get me started on Angel Berroa’s defense. The sweep is not the end of the world, but the Yankees need CC to step up tonight. More later…..

When Berroa was hitting like an all star this spring, fans wanted him to play 3rd. Maybe, he can bounce back and be useful for the Yanks…I really doubt it.
By the way; the steal of home was Berroa’s and Andy’s fault…Berroa was way off the line (to far), giving Els’s a larger lead.
and Andy didn’t pay any attention to him.
I put it totally on Andy- pitching from the windup, you need to be cognizant of the fast guy behind you there.
True…!
Just saying; keeping Els one step closer may have been a different out come. And maybe Not!
