Jeter tagging out Vlad

The Yankees fell short again today in Anaheim.

The Angels started off hot in the bottom of the first inning and never looked back. After two doubled by Vlad Guerreor and Tori Hunter, the Yankees already seemed like the air was taken out of their sail.

They fought back ahrd and gave it a valiant effort, butfell short. The only teo runs that the Yankees were able to get across home plate were thanks to two solo shots by Alex Rodriguez in the seventh, and Hidkei Matsui in the eighth.

The Yankees lead in the AL East is slowly shrinking as the Yankees continue to lose and the Red Sox continue to win. They are still up on the Red Sox by five games, but there is still a month of ball to play. Let’s hope they can keep their head’s up ad play the type of game they are exected to play.

Andy Petite got the loss for the Yankees while Joe Saunders got the win with his stellar pitching on the mound.

The Yankees look to be the first team to clinch a playoff spot tomorrow as they face off again against the Angels.
