The New York Yankees have turned a triple play tonight in the second inning against the Tampa Bay Rays! The Rays had runners on first and second with nobody out when a sharp line drive was hit to the third basemen Yangervis Solarte. Solarte stepped on the bag and threw to the second basemen Brian Roberts who stepped on the bag and threw to the first basemen Scott Sizemore to complete the triple play.
CC Sabathia was on the mound, if you remember correctly he was on the mound for the last Yankees triple play as well... Kind of cool.
And the one before.
ReplyDeletewoo-hoo!
ReplyDeleteSoriano hit a HR to night, I may be wrong about his bat slowing down. But, we will see. More than glad to see Solarte get his first HR and hope it is his first of many more.
ReplyDeleteA whole bunch of great defensive plays helped CC out in this game, but the bottom line is win and they all did their part tonight.
Great game, it would be nice to play like that every game!
Always nice to beat the Rays, especially David Price
ReplyDeleteI've always hated the Rays. I know that Yankees fans are supposed to have the Red Sox as their 30th favorite team, but not with me. Tampa's the worst. They have no real names yet they always beat the Yankees, especially at the ugly indoor stadium of theirs.
DeleteDavid Price? Evan Longoria?
DeleteI never "hated" any team until recently. I can't stand the Marlins, mainly because of the owner. I think Loria should be ran out of baseball faster than McCourt. Sleaziest person in the game not named Boras.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Bud Selig should use the "best interest of baseball" clause and pull a David Stern and do something about this guy. He is killing baseball in Florida, especially Miami.
