NY Yankees 11 Boston 9: Crazy game between the Yankees and Red Sox. The Yankees jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the fifth inning only to blow it. The Red Sox paid back the Yankees in the ninth. Jonathon Papelbon blew the save by giving up a game-tieing home run to Alex Rodriguez and then gave up the game-winning home run to Marcus Thames. I can't stand the Yankees, but at least they beat Papelbon who I hate with the passion of a thousand suns. The question in Boston is, it panic time in Boston yet?
Florida 1 Arizona 5: Two things of note came out of this game. The first is the 12 strikeouts from Edwin Jackson against the Marlins. The second note about this game was Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez pulling Hanley Ramirez in the third inning for "an lack of effort." I have a solution for the Marlins, trade Ramirez to the Giants for Edgar Renteria and Aaron Rowand.
Toronto 3 Minnesota 8: Justin Morneau had himself quite the game. Morneau went 3-for-4 with two home runs, four RBIs, and a walk. Delmon Young also homered for the Twinkies. Kevin Slowey picked up the victory.
Tampa Bay 4 Cleveland 3, 11 Innings: Only Cleveland could lose on a walkoff bunt. Jason Bartlett laid down a bunt down the first base side with a runner on third base. Indians pitcher Jamey Wright was forced to go home with a throw and sailed the ball over his catchers head. Epic fail.
Chicago Cubs 4 Colorado 2, 11 Innings: Aramis Ramirez went 2-for-5 with three RBIs and the game-winning home run in the eleventh inning. The Cubs tried to do everything in their power to lose to Colorado. The Cubs grounded into three double plays, including two by Derek Lee, while leaving five men on base.
