October 6th, 2011 was not a good night if you’re a fan of the New York Yankees. The Yankees fell to the Detroit Tigers at home by a score of 3-2. Two early home runs by the Tigers in the first inning turned out to be the turning point in the game. After the two home runs in the first inning, Yankees rookie pitcher Ivan Nova settled down and had a rather good outing, but the early damage was too much to overcome. The Yankees offense did not come through in clutch spots all night, and that turned out to cost them the game, and even more importantly, their stay in the playoffs. The early exit from the playoffs for the Yankees is sure to cause turmoil, chaos, and questions of whose to blame in the near future. It looks like the Yankees will have to wait till next year to see if they can make a run for another championship. |
