Ricky Romero was taken out of the game to early and was not getting the calls from the umpire

Don Wakamatsu made a huge mistake by taken Ricky Romero out of the game in the seventh inning after Ricky Romero made a mistake pitch to Curtis Garnerson with two strikes on him as his pitch started too far outside and hit him in the numbers and there were two out as well and then he walked A-Rod on four pitches and Robinson Cano came up and that is when Wakamatsu took Romero out immediately as soon as he stepped out of the dugout. He ended up bringing Casey Janssen in and the only problem with this move was that Robinson Cano was 3 for 7 against Janssen in his career and he ended up down 0 and 2 and battled back to hit a two run double to give the Yankees a 5-4 lead. Ricky Romero was fighting the Yankees hitter along with the home plate umpire who was not giving Romero the pitches on the corners and he pitched 6.2 and gave up 5 runs on 8 hits with 3 walks and just over a 100 pitches and on the other hand Bartono Calon was getting called strikes off the plate to the point where Kelly Johnson had the finally two pitches were down and inside followed a high strike a called strike three and at this point Johnson thought what is going on and asked the Umpire what the deal and then third base coach Brain Butterfield picked up his cause and ended up being ejected from the game in the third. The Jays got an amazing performance from Brett Lawrie who had a fielders choice in the second as he ran out a double play ball and then went first to third on a dying quail that dropped in between three Yankees and then had a diving play to start a double play to end the eighth inning and finally he hit a ball to the wall and almost a triple.

The Jays lost Eric Thames after he was the middle of 1-2-3 striking out first inning by Calon and left the game because he took a big bite out of the big apple last night and was now dizzy and Dwayne Wise replaced him and had a triple that was singled in by Jose Bautista and later he hit a solo homer. The Jays got another homer from Adam Lind who has now got 24 homers on the season and J.P. had a sac fly as well but the Jays still lost 6-4 as Cano scored on a Nick Swisher RBI single. Yunel Escobar also left the game with a sprained wrist after catching Francisco Cervelli stealing second base in the fourth inning.

Now the Jays face CeCe tomorrow in hope to get a single win in the Big Apple and 500 road trip and remember to vote Tom Check into the baseball hall of fame by National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum on facebook
