What an unpleasant Yankee-Angel game yesterday. Not only did the Yankees score twice as many runs as their playoff opponents, but the umpires mad three (count 'em, three) truly bad calls during the game.*
When the game was over, I just couldn't figure out one thing: Why didn't Girardi pull Gaudin with two outs in the ninth?
*I'd probably rate them from worse to worser as follows:
1. Calling Nick Swisher out in the 4th inning for leaving third base early (on appeal). Which would be great. Except he didn't leave third base early.
2. Calling Nick Swisher safe on that pickoff play (also in the 4th).
3. Calling Robinson Cano safe on what should have been a double play in the top of the fifth inning. That call at third base was the worst that I can remember seeing. Period.
