Game 87 @ LA of Anaheim

For the second straight game, the Yankees took an early lead, but the starting pitcher just fell apart. Andy Pettitte did his Joba Chamberlain impression and gave up 6 runs in 4.1 innings, followed by pathetic performances by David Robertson, Brett Tomko, and Phil Coke. No one did their job on the mound tonight.

The offense did continue to roll in the 14-8 loss. A-Rod and Hinske both put up two homers, and Matsui added another one of his own.

The Yankees just played sloppy, ugly baseball, which is something they usually do against the Angels. I can't put my finger on why, but it just seems to be a trend that they have. Hopefully the Yankees can avoid the sleep in tomorrow's afternoon game, when CC Sabathia hits the mound against John Lackey. Should be a good game.
