Yanks lose in 11, in 0-2 ALDS hole
Travis Hafner's bases-loaded single off Luis Vizcaino lifted the Indians to a 2-1 victory over the Yankees in 11 innings on Friday, giving Cleveland a commanding 2-0 lead in the best-of-five American League Division Series.
The winning hit came after Mariano Rivera weaved through two innings, hoping to stall the Tribe. Instead, the Yankees can do little but prepare for Game 3 on Sunday in New York, their backs against the wall in a 2-0 hole and looking to Roger Clemens for a bail out of what would be their third consecutive ALDS exit.
As if facing Fausto Carmona in the middle of an electric nine-inning performance wasn't enough, the Yankees followed starter Andy Pettitte's gritty effort with an undoing that began with the help of -- of all things -- swarms of gnats. Continue
Wow! What an amazing two games. Game 1 was a fluke blowout, but game 2 really did show to be a true contest. What a great game. Usually you do not see games this close until the second series. The only thing we did not get to see is the battle of managers changing out pitchers every other batter. No need I guess when the pitching is as good as it was for both sides. Will be interesting to see what happens in NY as the Cleveland Fans travel to NY.
Anybody know what time it is?
