It was supposed to be a big nice the for the New York Yankees and starting pitcher Joba Chamberlain but Chamberlain only lasted 2 1/3 innings and the Yankees lost 9-4 to the Toronto Blue Jays.  Chamberlain was pulled early due to his pitch count.  He had a tough first outing as he walked four batters and struck out three.

However it was the Yankees bullpen who really blew this game.  Dan Giese gave up one run, Jose Veras gave up two runs, and Edwar Ramirez gave up four runs.  The bullpen blew the game wide open for the Blue Jays and pretty much gave the offense no shot at coming back.

Bobby Abreu, Hideki Matsui, and Jason Giambi all had one rbi in the game for the Yankees.  I really think the offense would have came around had the bullpen kept them in the game.  Sometimes you just get all the momentum taken away when your bullpen gives up that many runs.  The Yankees did score in the ninth inning when Jonny Damon scored on a wild pitch.
