Hopefully we will hear some encouraging news before Baseball Tonight/Sports Center. Anyone with children might not want them to see this. Very ugly.

And while I hate myself for thinking this, our main rival has just lost their ace. Don't know for how long, but he really looked bad. The Sox also blew a 5-0 lead against the Rays. Now 5-5 on an Aubrey Huff Slam.

using gordon here borders on irresponsible...if he's unavailable in 2 days and giving up an inning to proctor, then even more so...a 4 run lead against one of the worst hitting teams in baseball...you have to use either a) Randy johnson (who legitimately might have been out of gas) and if not, b) felix rodriguez if you really cant stomach the thought of proctor going in...I love Torre an believe that his strengths as a Yankee managaer probably outweigh his sometimes puzzling in-game strategies, but his use of the bullpen over the last month (and '03 series) has proven to me that he will never improve as a manager of the bullpen and understand some key precepts about high-leverage and low-leverage innings

With a four run lead, it would have been a perfect opportunity to pitch F-Rod in the ninth. They need another reliable arm in the pen, and he has pitched well lately. But no, Gordon again.
