Anyone who think sub 500 ball clubs are easy pickings this late in the race have been slack on watching latest game matches between contenders and non contenders. The San Diego Padres are probably the team with the most expertise in that arena..

Twins have won 9 of 14 so at least trying unlike the embarrassing orioles. Saw that Gil was sent down. I was hoping he would stay in the rotation a while longer

Ruocco and Cone my ears are Bleeding.

Damn, I really like the new look of this team...polar opposite from the pre-trade deadline game version.

 

[Lillie]

Higgy goes Yard. 6-0.

 

[yankeesince59]

Higgy puts us up 6-0.

Bottom part of the line up has really improved after being a black hole for much of the year.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Nice to be able to sit back andd watch the games again because thiis team will get out and compete.

 

[mrmel29]

Well that happenned quick 6-3 now

 

[yankeesince59]

And once again, Boone either pulls a pitcher too early or too late....seen this movie way too many times this year.

 

[Lillie]

Peralta in now.

 

[yankeesince59]

Can't believe that called 3rd strike on Velazquez...Said it many times before, but they REALLY need to fix the strike zone...we have the technology.

Only reason for not doing it is because of the Ump's Union...fuck 'em, and while we're at it, let's get rid of the several galactically bad Umps we already have.

Here comes Green.

 

[mrmel29]

And green continues to get beat with his
Breaking pitch despite throwing 98mph. Idiot!

 

[Lillie]

Yankees win 7-5.

And green continues to get beat with his
Breaking pitch despite throwing 98mph. Idiot!

Still can't figure out why he has never bothered to develop a 3rd pitch...no cutter, no change up, no slider.
