You know you had a bad night when you're the first player ever to fail that badly at the plate, and that's not why you're remembered for the game.
Several of the Yankees failed to show up Monday night. But, at least they were playing in the 5th game of the playoffs unlike the Bosux had already been "swept" away like yesterday's trash.
