It Gets By Buck — er — Castillo
E4 - Castillo
Seriously? Cash that $37,000 game check for tonight and choke on it. Worst play I’ve ever seen. Hands down. Did I really spend the last two season defending this contract? Am I really this annoyed over one regular season loss? Perspective, Tom. It’s one loss. It’s not the kind of loss that will tank an entire season. He’s not going to start throwing the ball over the first baseman’s head, right? About to steal a game in Yankee stadium started by a clearly inferior pitcher and that happens.
Just what the Yankee fans needed. More ammo.
So, yeah, choke on it. Or light yourself on fire. Really either would be OK.
W – M Rivera (1-2)
L – L Castillo (9th inning, 2-out, 2-run E-P4)
Update: Saturday. OK, a night’s sleep, as usual, has added perspective. It was a terrible error, but just an error that led to a loss. It happens. It sucks, but it happens.
Glad to see he was back in the line-up today and glad to see he was properly sorry. He said he couldn’t sleep last night and kept reliving it. Good, I’d rather hear that than a patented Carlos Delgado interview saying “It’s no big deal, I just have to get back out there tomorrow, and there’s a lot of baseball left.” The oddest thing about last night’s game is I couldn’t process that the game was over for a couple hours. Baseball games just don’t end that way. Ever. It felt like there should be more game to play. The saddest part of the whole thing, other than the loss, was K-Rod losing his perfect save streak on an error.
Oh, and the ballpark is a joke.
