Well, it just well could be if this game is any indication as Boston has destroyed the Yankees’ pen en route to improving to 4-0 on the season which is quickly turning into a nightmare for Joe Torre’s club.
The inning which has Yankee fans in full panic mode:
| - M. Rivera relieved L. Vizcaino |
| - J.D. Drew struck out looking |
| - M. Lowell singled to right |
| - J. Varitek singled to center, M. Lowell to second |
| - C. Crisp singled to center, M. Lowell scored, J. Varitek to third |
| - C. Crisp stole second |
| - D. Pedroia walked |
| - M. Myers relieved M. Rivera |
| - J. Lugo walked, J. Varitek scored, C. Crisp to third, D. Pedroia to second |
Is it from a lack of work? Is Rivera’s 37 year-old body finally catching up to him like all great closers? He wasn’t in for a save because it’s just not humanly possible, which tells you all you want to know about how pathetic things are in the Bronx as they go down to defeat for the seventh straight time.
I said the night before that things were going to be tough for a while. Maybe this is the year the Yankees finally miss altogether. They just seem too old and too fragile.
Who thinks they can pull off another miracle like two years ago? Any takers?
