Garret Goes Deep
Garret Anderson leads off the second with a home run to right to cut the lead in half. Molina follows with a single up the middle. It's been a tough second inning for the starters.
Update: Mussina comes back to strike out Erstad.
Update: Mussina walks Finley with two outs. A commenter mentioned that Santana was being squeezed. They squeezed Mussina on that pitch.
Meanwhile, Kennedy hits the ball to right center, and Crosby and Sheffield collide to allow both runners to score.
Tim McCarver doesn't know what he's talking about here. He says it was Sheffield's ball. If the center fielder can catch it, it's the CF's ball. The Yankees defense hurts them again as the Angels take a 3-2 lead.
Update: Figgins strikes out to end the inning.
Unbelievable that Erstad is still getting at bats
What's that you've been saying, David, about the Yankees defense?
hey, the shift just worked against giambi!
I said the same exact thing in response to McCarver. That man never ceases to amaze.
Amen on McCarver. The moment they collided, beside jumping with joy, I said that it was Crosby's ball. As you said, if the CF can catch it, it is his ball. Sheffield had to leap to make the catch, whereas Crosby never left his feet.
