What is there to say about a 14-3 loss to the Blue Jays? I really don't have much. The Yanks were beat, and beat badly, and Ponson was awful. That pretty much sums it up. I guess it was expected with a Sidney Ponson vs. Roy Halladay pitching matchup.

If you're looking for a bright spot I've got two for ya; The Rays and Red Sox were both off, so the Yanks only dropped a half game. And Hideki Matsui hit a 3-run homer tonight, his first since coming off the DL.

Give it another week, the yanks will be completely out of the race and on cue A-Rod will start tearing the cover off the ball.....

I hope you're wrong, but I have a feeling you're right.

can't really blame ponson, he was bound to have a bad start after all those good ones

Yea it was inevitable, but it was still pretty awful. I couldn't think of a better goat.
