Girardi sets a lax tone by starting Nunez, Jones, and Stewart:
"With those rallies short-circuiting, first-inning sacrifice flies from Robinson Cano and Granderson were all the Yankees managed. Toronto's bullpen combined for six scoreless innings, with Shawn Hill contributing three for the win, and New York's third-inning opportunity stood out as its most glaring miss.
In that frame, the Yankees loaded the bases against Romero with no outs, but Granderson popped out, Andruw Jones struck out and Eduardo Nunez lined out hard to second base.
Struggles with runners in scoring position have been a nagging, season-long theme for the Yankees, but they would agree to a man that this latest flare-up came at a most inopportune time.
'We couldn't make it happen,' Swisher said. 'That's no reason to get down on ourselves. We've got to keep pushing and come back here with a fire, and hopefully pull off that win tomorrow.' "
Awesome!
The Yankees can totally do it!
Get psyched for the World Series!
