An Amazing, Thrilling, Spectacular...Loss
Anyone who says they prefer a high scoring game to a pitchers' duel didn't watch last night's 14-inning instant classic.Both teams' starters were spectacular. The bullpens were unyielding.
I feel bad for Junichi Tazawa, a 23 year old starter who made his major league debut in relief in the bottom of the 14th inning of longest scoreless game ever between these two teams. Apart from the home run to A-Rod, he appeared confident and ready. Any future situation will be low-pressure compared to the fire he was tossed into last night, or, i should say, early this morning.
Anyway, great game, tough loss, and already it's time to move on to another game.
I agree about the game and Tazawa. He did a great job in a huge situation. I mean, the kid had just been called up and to have to be in that pressure cooker couldn't have been easy. Yet he really just made that one fateful mistake. I feel very lucky the Yankees pulled it out.

Are the alarm bells going off in Boston yet? Is anyone riding through the streets on horseback screaming "The Rays are coming! The Rangers are coming!"?
