TOO MANY LIKE THIS WILL BE A PROBLEM

July 22nd, 2007

Even in producing a 37-7 record the final seven weeks of the season to force the epochal playoff with the Dodgers after falling 13 games behind Brooklyn on Aug. 11, the Giants did, after all, lose those seven games.

The trick was - no, not the one about stealing signs from the center-field scoreboard - those Giants never let one loss infect their pursuit of the Dodgers or distract them from their mission.

Then again, the trick might also have been those Giants never had Mike Mussina, Kei Igawa and Matt DeSalvo set up one-two-three in the starting rotation to follow any one of those seven defeats.

The Yankees reached their quota about a month ago on games they could afford to let get away, yet another one got away from them at the Stadium yesterday afternoon when, out of nowhere, Toronto scored three in the seventh against Chien-Ming Wang for a 3-2 victory that prevented the home team from sweeping a four-game series.

They can say accurately, as they did in the immediate aftermath of the defeat that was more improbable than Tuesday’s extra-inning victory they achieved after tying the score in the ninth on a balk, that they’re playing good ball and that they’ll take winning three out of every four games.

But there is no doubt that this one caused heartburn even as it is currently impossible to determine whether this will be the one to ultimately cause heartbreak if the Yankees can’t make it all the way back against Boston in the AL East or against Cleveland in the wild-card chase.

This one caused heartburn because the Yankees lost with their ace on the mound and a 2-1 lead with seven outs to go. This one caused heartburn because they scored twice before making an out then got nothing the rest of the way. This one caused heartburn because of the question marks concerning who will take the mound tonight and in tomorrow’s split doubleheader against the Devil Rays.
