Wright not so wrong

Blue Jays 7, Yankees 2

About what I expected, but not the way I expected. After being behind 2-0 after two batters, Wright got it together and with the help of 17 or so double plays, actually had the Yankees in the game until he tired and Proctor gave up a three-run homer that basically put it out of reach.

Meanwhile, Hallady wasn't his Cy Young self but was more than good enough, in conjunction with the bullpen. Somewhat surprisingly, Gibbons used BJ Ryan for a two-inning save. Presumably he's looking at the pitching matchups today and tomorrow and figured last night was a must-win.

And again, what is with the umps this year? Last night, bottom 8, Yankees down 5-2, one out, men on first and third. Bernie Williams grounds one to third . . . they get the out at second and Bernie is clearly safe at first. In live action he looked safe; on the replay his foot is on first and the ball is maybe six inches from the first baseman's glove.

It probably doesn't change the outcome of the game, but suppose, for the sake of argument, the correct call is made. It's 5-3. Maybe in a two-run game, Joe doesn't put Blow-up Strutze in to pitch the 9th and Toronto doesn't tack on. Maybe, maybe, maybe. Oh well. I konw this is supposed to all even out but so far, the Yankees are way behind this season on the "calls evening out" thing.

Stuff happens. Today's another day.
