New York Yankees Rotation May Be Too Crowded for A.J. Burnett (Yahoo! Contributor Network)

With the New York Yankees having re-signed Freddy Garcia last month and recently acquired starters Michael Pineda and Hiroki Kuroda via trade and free agency, respectively, a rotation recently barren of depth is now as crowded as a Manhattan-bound MTA train during rush hour.

Fumble! Yanks Prepare For October of Football Viewing.

The ball was in Johnny Damon’s glove…kinda.  And then it just popped out tonight in the bottom of the eighth inning as Jon Inglett went on to score the winning run from first for the Blue Jays with two outs.  2-1, Blue Jays take the opener.

It wasn’t just Johnny’s fault though.  Should he have been in center after playing left all year?  Well, that may explain one dropped ball, but the one he botched in the eighth was his second of the game.  What about Darrell Rasner?  Hell no.  Since mid-July, he’s been the 2008 Yankees’ answer to Aaron Small from a couple years back.

What about A-Rod getting nailed at second base after not hustling out of the box?  YES Network apologists notwithstanding, this was a dumb-ass move by the reigning MVP.  He didn’t hustle to first then tried to leg out a double on a blooper down the line.  If he runs the whole way, he makes it.  But he didn’t.  The leadoff man in the ninth should have been on second.  Then B.J. (why does an adult choose to call himself this?) Ryan closed the door.

Sure it’s one loss…but it’s the kind of loss playoff-bound teams don’t have.

All the Matsuis, (cough) Pavanos (cough), Hughes and Jobas in the world can’t save this season.
