Last Night's Action: No Thanks, Just Looking

2006_04_smetslogo.jpg

  • Giants 3, Mets 0: Barry Bonds didn't do much damage, but Barry Zito, the other half of Brothers Barry, did plenty. He struck out seven Mets -- including five looking -- through seven shutout innings as the Giants took the middle game of a three-game set. Those hoping for a reprise of Tuesday night's implosion by Armando Benitez had to be disappointed. Giants Manager Bruce Bochy went with Brad Hennessey instead and was rewarded with a 1-2-3 ninth.

  • Yankees 10, Blue Jays 5: Yankees win! Th-uuu-h Yankees win! John Sterling's signature call -- -- as sad as that is -- got its start when the Yankees stunk in the early 1990s and only won once in a while. That version of the call can be brought back, for one night at least. A five-run first inning held up until the Yankees tacked on four more in the ninth. Alex Rodriguez, made a story by the local papers whenever possible, created some controversy by apparently pretending to be a shortstop calling off Jays third baseman Howie Clark while running around the bases. The ball dropped, extending the inning. Don't expect to hear Sterling sound like a goat on an electric fence -- Rick Reilly's words -- this weekend when the Yanks visit Boston.

There wasn't any evidence that A-Rod said "I Got It!". They played the tape several times during the game. He did run hard behind them which probably distracted them.

If you watch the tape again, you can see Gay-Rod shout "Mine!". Not "Ha" like he said

I love how now the Yankees are just supposed to “lose with class.” Get over yourselves and just catch the damn ball!

Class is either you win or you lose, not you win or you whine.
