Embarrassing inning
scottproctorsarm.blogspot.com 8/3/2008 — The bottom of the fourth inning this afternoon pretty much epitomized the 2008 Yankees thus far. Here's the scene: Trailing 5-0, Derek Jeter lead off with a walk. Bobby Abreu then scolded a single to right-center, allowing Jeter to take third. Alex Rodriguez was up next.
