They came back from down 3-0(it should have been 3-3 at that point), and had an AWESOME inning that saw them ahead 7-3! The baserunners put on a clinic, and it all started by Nix pretending like he was going to steal second. With him in motion, Scutaro had to cover second which left a hole on the left side. Yunel then proceeded to hit a single(Nix ran from 1st to 3rd base on the hit) and the rest was history!
Cecil started out shaky, but after the 2 homeruns he gave up he retired 11 straight batters!
I know the Boston fans won't agree with me, but it was a really entertaining game(especially once Boston closed the gap to 7-6!).
And to top it all off, the Yankees lost 5-3 to Texas. That was very good news! The Yankees also lost Hughes to a "dead arm" and he is now on the 15 day DL. The opposing hitters are sad to hear that, as he has been awful in all his starts so far.

I agree with you: the Boston - Toronto game was great (other than the outcome). I disagree with you that the call was "bullshit." Were you watching on TV or listening on the radio? If you could see where that ball hit, absent some Toronto announcer influencing you, you'd understand clearly why the initial home run call was overruled.
Now that the Yankees have lost Hughes to a "dead arm," it won't be long before they lose Joba Chamberlain to a "dead brain."
