The Toronto team credited Swisher more than it blamed Lawrie
Gregg Zaun absolutely ripped Lawrie (and Davis and Escobar for their respective blunders) when he came on after that. He claimed that it was a line drive so Lawrie should've frozen instead of advancing on contact. I see his point, that ball was hit so hard that any decent play to third would've gotten Lawrie out. Then again, Zaun's been getting progressively angrier and more disgusted as the season's gone on, so maybe he's just crabby.
I'm not sure how you score only 4 runs on 12 hits
The inning with two doubles, a wild pitch, a single and 0 runs scored was a masterpiece. I'm still not sure how Escobar got picked off third, or why Davis stopped running from first on a double hit with two outs, but there you go.

Oh come on, the Yankees do that every other game.
