Angels 2, Yankees 1

This game was emblematic of the whole miserable season:

1. Strong starting pitching goes for nothing. Right now, Clemens (eight innings, one run) must be reconsidering his return.

2. Dreadful relief, sans Rivera and--sometimes--Kyle. Rivera came in on the tie and shut the Angels down for two; Kardiac Kyle worked out of a Kyle-like jam. But when Luis Rivera came in to work the twelfth, all I thought was, Well, maybe they'll hit it at someone. Which they did, for one inning. When Chone Figgins hit his double in the thirteenth, I turned the TV off. I knew what was coming. Findig out, after the game, that Figgins had scored on a throwing error, just made all that fall into place.
