The rally started an inning late because Bobby Abreu cost the Yankees a run with a boneheaded baserunning play that negated what would have been a sacrifice fly in the fourth. With the bases loaded and one out, Abreu tried to tag up from second on a fly to leftfield and was thrown out by Garret Anderson a split-second before Derek Jeter, who was running hard, crossed home plate.

"That's an oops," Girardi said.

The sliding Abreu didn't even reach third base before being tagged out. "Bad, bad, bad, really bad," said Abreu, who would have been better off stopping short of third or even falling down, if only to let Jeter score.

Thanks. The OP should've provided that info.

General Yankees schadenfreude

What was especially precious was watching Jeter trot into home in his usual preening way, only to look back in shock as Abreu was called out and his run was waved off.
