Watched the Yankmees win
This year's playoffs have been memorable for blunders more than anything else. We ALL remember last night what happen to Holliday when, with two outs in the ninth and no one on, he let the ball hit him in the nuts and eventually let said runner come in to score, tie and then lose the game. Well, tonight, rookie Carlos Gomez of the Twins decided to run so fast that his legs came out from under him rounding second base. There were two outs, he was on first, Delman Young was on Second, and Matt Tolbert was at the plate. Tolbert hits a single to right field, and Young motors around third and heads for home. An easy run, right? Well, not exactly, turns out Gomez rounds second, slips and falls. Jeter, seeing this signals for the ball and applies the tag BEFORE Young reaches home. NO RUN SCORED! The blunder wasn't in falling down, it was just sitting there. Had he had a lick of sense, he would have gotten up and ran to third, got in a run down, letting the run score before he was put out. That one run would have prevented the 3-3 tie in the ninth and subsequent extra innings. Man, this might be a playoff to remember.
