Morales injured himself, a la Grammatica celebrating that field goal. Same thing would have happened if there was nobody around him. He just landed wrong. He was already falling before anyone touched him. There have been many cases where teammates injured each other celebrating (remember Dave Dravecky?), but I don’t think this is one of them.

UNREAL! OK... remember how ARod has been very careful about avoiding being in the center of gang hugs? Well lets give the dude some credit. Frankly, I'm surprised this is the first time something like this has happened. Public announcement: All Yankees STAY AWAY from ARod at Home plate. Repeat: STAY AWAY FROM AROD!!! Wow…. just saw the Kendry Morales tape. UNREAL!

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!! I turn on the game to see a mob on the mound and a man on the ground. I watch until we are safely ahead 9-3, and then take a nap. And then this. How is this possible? This is a HISTORICALLY bad loss. 6 run lead against the worst team in the league? 200:1 odds of losing? How is this possible?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? I can't get this out of my head. Unbelievable. UN-FUCKIN-BELIEVABLE! Blame? I guess Joba is on top, but this is a team pitching loss. UN-FUCKIN-BELIEVABLE! This stain will stay with me a while. Holy shit….

Oh well, they'll take 8 of the next 11 against the Spiders, Ripkens, Tom Henkes and JR RIchards, so I am not on the cliff..

YES failed to show the best angle, which showed the glove jamming in the dirt before reaching his leg. As a first baseman, those are always easy to spot. Nice call, ump. Because it's not like that runner mattered. None of this has anything to do with the result - all Joba - but another thing - how in hell is CB Bucknor still umping major league games? When you can't get plays right at first (which any good softball ump can handle) and you don't have a clue with balls and strikes, you're probably not in the right line of work. That guy isn't terrible - he's unconscionable.
