Figgins strikes out, and then Abreu flies out to Damon on an 0-2 count. Top two hitters a combined 0/10 so far.
might've been a play at third, but Hunter's throw to the infield was dropped. full count on Melky. He strikes out.
Jeter goes deep the other way 2-0 they were talking about pitchers with the most starts before starting a playoff game. The Big Train is #1 all-time. Burnett was fourth on the active list. I'd guess Roy Halladay as one of the pitchers ahead of him. Damon singles.
Guerrero is damn slow and he struck out on a pitch way out of the zone. Looked like he and the ball arrived at the same time, but he was called out.
Tie w/ the runner it looked like so he soulda been safe. But..... the ball did hit him out of the batters box so..... btw, The YANKS Defense has been spectacular this post season....
ground rule double for Izturis. first hard hit ball for the Angels, really. He drilled that one down near the right field line. bad at bat by Napoli who swings at the first pitch and lifts a can of corn into shallow center
Aybar singles home Izturis. McCarver said good time to run before the first pitch to Figgins, and then he explains (after the first pitch) it's because Figgins has the count in his favor. Uh, it was 0-0 when you said it. That can't be your reason. Aybar steals second. By the way, McCarver was pulling the John Sterling schtick last inning about how awesome Jeter is. Burnett hits Figgins on a 2-2 count. Second HBP of the night. This one and the one to Morales were both curves in the dirt coming in on the lefty.
