I'll start it off - - - I think the Yankees got very lucky tonight.

They were lucky to have matched up their worst possible offensive performance in the same game where they had their worst possible pitching/defensive performance.

Seriously, to me, as a Yankee fan, it would be worse to lose 2-1 (in a game where your pitcher pitched VERY well but you could only muster 3 hits) or to lose 9-8 (in a game where your offense worked VERY well but you got no pitching and played like crap in the field) than to lose 9-1 in a game where nothing worked for you.
