The art of piss-poor managing

A four-run lead, even with 8 innings left to play, felt pretty good with Joba on the mound. It's a shame that erratic Joba showed up, in a game that was very winnable. I gave up at 10-5 -- as good as the Yankees have been at coming from behind this year, five runs seemed like a pretty tall order.

Little did I know they'd come awfully close in the bottom of the 9th. It's probably a good thing I wasn't watching at that point, because if I had seen Nick Swisher squaring up to bunt with no outs and two on in the 9th down by one I probably would've chucked my remote through my television set.

Also, apparently no one likes beating the Red Sox. Come on Chicago, time to man the hell up. Six game up or not, these leads can shrink quickly, so the Yanks better get their acts together and win this damn series.
