Defensive Extremes

The Angels and Yankees go to extra innings, thanks to the good and the bad of LAnaheim's defense. The Angels made three errors today, leading to three unearned runs. But Figgins in center made a great diving catch on Bernie Williams early that saved at least one run, and Izturis at third just stole a game ending hit from Andy Phillips. The defense giveth, and the defense taketh away.

Update: With Yankees on first and third and two outs, Gary Sheffield hits a grounder to Cabrera at short. The ball takes a high hop and Cabrera fails to field it cleanly for the out. It goes as a hit, but Orlando should have made the play. Once again, the game is tied, this time at 7.

An ugly loss for the Angels to finish a lousy road trip. The kicker was having errors by Erstadt, Kennedy and Cabrera all in the same game - all three are among the best fielders in their positions. Not fun for us Angel fans to watch.

But fun for us Yankee fans. In between the heartburn, ulcers and heart attacks.
