I know it happens to every team, and I know the law of averages applies. Still, I was just celebrating our luck to miss Kazmir in this series, facing three Tampa Bay pitchers with 5.50+ ERA this year.

Well, the first and third guys shut us down good. This guy today, Hammel, came into the game with one win in eight starts and an ugly 7.44 ERA. He might as well have been Santana for how good the Yankees made him look; 1 ER, 5 hits, 7 K's. Why is this?

Yeah, yeah, I answered my own question in the first sentence. Still, it's frustrating. The Yanks should be feasting.
