It was sort of troubling to watch the top hitters on the Yankees ground into double plays late in the game after wearing down the Marlins' top starter, fist-pumper extraordinaire Josh Johnson. If he were a Yankee he'd be the most hated man in America for celebrating wildly after getting outs...with nobody on base to end an inning. But since he's a Marlin he gets a pass, I guess.
Anyway the Yankees managed to chase the excitable Johnson after 7 innings, then in the 8th got a man in scoring position with nobody out but wasted the opportunity on a double play by Jeter, a strikeout by Damon (who had booted a ball in the outfield, allowing the winning run to score), and another double play in the 9th by Cano.
Not cool. Will another team that is totally outclassed by the far-superior Yankees win another series against them?
Projection for this road trip: 4-5
