[mrmel29]

Great job by Gil. 6.3 of 2 hit shutout ball

 

[yankeesince59]

Oh shit...here comes Hamilton.

 

[yankeesince59]

And predictably, he walks the leadoff batter.

 

[yankeesince59]

And then he hits the next batter...can't make this shit up.

 

[yankeesince59]

And now we have Holmes.

 

[yankeesince59]

Wow...Holmes actually came through and struck out the last 2 batters...we dodged a helluva bullet.

 

[yankeesince59]

Torres boots a grounder to leadoff the bottom of the 9th.

 

[yankeesince59]

Good guys win, 2-0 !

 

[Mattingly23NY]

And now we have Holmes.

Unbelievable, I thought for sure Holmes was going to blow the 8th, in lieu of working out of jam with 2 OB and the tying run AB.

Holmes and Gil looked good for what seemed like the first time, since gawd knows when, wtf?
In the vein of every wannabe closer post Mo'. D-Rob, Chapman, Cesspool, Phil Hughes, Joba, Bettances and many other relievers of the Trashman era, who all shared a common thread, i.e., leaving fans sitting on the edge of their seats-- I expected all full counts, foul balls, and lack of control, without a bit of luck on the border-line pitches of the K-zone, by the HP Ump with poor eye sight, who's assisted by the first ever seeing eye dog in MLB. 1 bark strike, 2 barks ball! I expected a wild pitch or 3, a hit batter, and a couple of walks, with a single hit to load the bases. I expected BaBoone choking on Rolaid's instead of bubble gum.

I haven't seen much of the 024 team to understand how the bullpen is built, or frantically tossed together like a vagrant claiming trash, tossing his choice picks and finds in a bullpen pile. I have scratched my head damn near until almost all of my hair fell out, wondering, why did Trashman trade King, and keep Holmes? I have a feeling the NY GM screwed King's head up from the constant deluge of changing his status from Closer, a set-up man, a Starter etc?

The offense still offensive.

For us die-hard fans, nothing will change as long as Hal controls this franchise.
