Toronto Blue Jays vs. New York Yankees - 4/29/05

Six games in one month.

I haven't seen that many games in that short a period in a while. Overall, it was one win and five losses.

I have had the added opportunity to see the Yankees lose to all four teams in the AL East in April.

This game was a great game from a non-Yankee perspective. The total run time was 2 hours and fifteen minutes, both pitchers pitched complete games, and for the most part dominated their opponent. Johnson's only mistake was the Hinske home run. Halladay made no mistakes.

There's not much that I can say about the Yankees that hasn't been said already, and there's been a lot said that I don't agree with, but that's always the case. The team is struggling in every facet of the game right now. I wonder if they are having motivation problems.



These seats are in the no-alcohol zone.



Roy Halladay was awesome.



Big Unit was nearly awesome.



Derek Jeter had one of three Yankee hits, but two of nine Yankee strikeouts.



Vernon Wells is one of the only hitters on the Jays that I fear when he bats. He didn't have a good game.



Joe Torre after arguing a call. His only appearance on the field during the game.



It's funny that a team that hypes its tradition as much as the Yankees, has their grounds crew do the Y-M-C-A after the fifth inning. This even happens in the World Series and is an absolute fan favorite.
