Yanks Lose Joba, Then Lose Game

The Yanks lost Joba tonight as he was forced to leave the game pointing at his shoulder with two out in the 5th. The Yanks were down 5-4 after 5th had been extended by way of umpire incompetence. Xavier Nady would eventually tie it up, but Damaso Marte was allowed to walk the bases loaded before giving up a grand slam in the bottom of the 9th. He joined David Robertson and Edwar Ramirez as Yankee relievers who have given up grand slams in the last 7 days. That is more or less inconcievable. So are the chances of the Yanks making the post season if Joba misses time. The Yanks could have gained a game in the standing tonight, but instead they lost an ace.
