That didnt go so well, giving up five runs on seven hits in he drove in three. And the fenway faithful chanting we want arod in the ninth. No pinchhits. Skip . No, hes not getting in. Yanks had a chance to win this one. Bases loaded in the ninth but teixeira cant pull the trigger on the 22 pitch. Maybe the mets were having a better night at citi field. Then again, maybe not.
