Game 15 recap haiku

The Rays weren't Devils
Andy lasted seven strong
Mo shut the door tight

Well, break out your minibrooms, the two game sweep is in the books. Andy Pettitte lived on the edge all night, but was able to weasel out of jams and give up only 3 runs despite allowing 9 hits and 3 walks in 7 innings. He had just enough tonight to keep the Yankees in the game, which is what I'd look for from Pettitte all year. He's not going to blow teams away, but he has enough savvy and experience to keep games close. He is now what sportscasters love to call a "crafty lefty."

Quick hits:

Is there anything more fun than watching Mo quietly do his job in the 9th? I know that there is, but I still love watching it. Dude is like a surgeon with that cutter.

Giambi and Cano are killing me. They've each had a big homer in the last week, but they've got to start hitting more. They've become automatic rally killers and proof that, as LaTroy said, "spring don't mean sh*t."

How in the hell do you walk Chad Moeller twice in a game. Seriously. He's Chad Freaking Moeller!

They'll always be the Devil Rays to me.
