Yankees' Painful Loss

The Yankees finally played a rain drenched game in Arlington Texas Tuesday night. The scoreboard read Texas-7 New York-3 but didn't tell the story:

• "Melky suffers strained right shoulder"
• The New York Times paints an ugly picture: "Relievers Help Yankees Lose a Shot at First Place" "...They lost because relievers Alfredo Aceves and Phil Coke could not subdue the Rangers down the stretch, allowing the final four runs of a 7-3 loss at Rangers Ballpark. Middle relief is probably the Yankees’ biggest weakness, and this game did nothing to inspire confidence.
  Chamberlain slogged through four innings, striking out five but allowing four hits, four walks and three runs. Cabrera, who leads the team in hitting at .323, left the game one play into the bottom of the first.
• ""I feel better right now because I did ice three times," Cabrera said through a translator. "I did a couple of exercises. I feel much better."--(NJ.com) Melky's healing may have been accelerated by Gardner's three hits.

It is better to be lucky than good. My DVR ran out of recording space in the third inning thus easing this bloggers pain.
