Dang, Austin Jackson

With one out and no one on, Eric Chavez hit what looked to be a sure double to deep center field. But former Yankees farmhand Austin Jackson was on the scene:


That'd be the second out of the inning, and after a Nick Swisher double, Curtis Granderson grounded out to end the mini-threat. There were boos.

In the top half of the ninth, Jackson hit a leadoff double. More boos rained down from the crowd.

Also of note: Chavez was hitting for Alex Rodriguez again. Down by four, that seems a touch unnecessary, but it's also a little funny. Darkly funny. Kind of sad. Possibly not funny. Interesting! We can agree on interesting.
