A fan also interfered with Gardner catching a fly ball in the stands down the left field line. Fortunately for the Yankees, it didn't turn out to be a catastrophe, as when other scumbags (oops, sorry, I shifted into the local dialect for "Yankees fans") have done so.

Thankfully both of those plays did not play a factor in the outcome of the game.

Texas took apart the Yankee bullpen again, scoring 5 runs off them in the process. And Burnett had that one bad pitch to Molina and that cost the Yankees the game. Good! I am also glad the Texas bullpen did NOT blow the game again(although with the 3 walks in the bottom of the 8th inning, I will admit that I was more than a little worried).

A 10-3 victory for Texas and now they are one victory away from going to their first ever World Series(and I think the Yankees will choke).

It looks like Mark Teixteira is done for the playoffs. He was 0 for the entire ALCS so they won't miss him on offense, but he is a pretty good fielding first baseman.
