the games against AAAA teams dont count.

[Otter 27,367]

I picked the right week to start the series threads.

I'm sure the time will come when my threads bring the Yankees bad luck. When it does, I will gracefully walk away. No coup or banning will be necessary.

[Vicious89x 121,413]

With otter starting the thread and dlj being banned I feel good. M's have a decent club this year

Too bad we had to waste a day of her ban on an off-day.

Rain delays suck....

[Otter 27,367]

Game on! Mo threw out the first pitch.

Does anyone else find this amusing?

Joba Chamberlain 5 inning pitcher as usual...

[Bob 158,598]

Put Hughes in the rotation and make Joba a one inning pitcher - the 8th.

[Otter 27,367]

Can somebody get a hit with runners on base?

[PS17 81,920]

Can somebody get a hit with runners on base?

No. They ****ing suck.

[Otter 27,367]

Put Hughes in the rotation and make Joba a one inning pitcher - the 8th.

I agree 100%. The guy throws way too many pitches. Hopefully this starting experiment hasn't screwed him up.

[PS17 81,920]

5 and a third. Nice Joba!!

[JonEJet 61,506]

We are going to lose this piece of sh1t game

[Otter 27,367]

Thank you ARod!!!

[JonEJet 61,506]

This team is dangerous when he is hitting

[PS17 81,920]

Clueless Joe strikes again.

Why TF would you bring in Bruney with Hughes just having an easy 9-pitch inning?

At least we have the lead now.

[Otter 27,367]

Bats finally came through in the bottom of the 8th.

Bruney has been a bit off since coming back. I'd love to see Joba in that spot.

[Bob 158,598]

Yep. The hitters won the game despite Clueless Joe.

[LionelRichie 10,072]

Yep. The hitters won the game despite Clueless Joe.

i don't understand why a team needs to have an "8th inning" guy. hughes is probably throwing the ball the best of any reliever at this point, why not take the 'hot hand' approach?

Because our manager is an idiot who likes to completely overmanage.

Joba Chamberlain 5 inning pitcher as usual...

no no no Joba has ace stuff...he is a front of the rotation starter...how can you question the all powerful Joba?

Let's see, dominate in one job....lets move him

So-so in another job, future hall of famer

I love the logic.

If I were manager, I would announce today that Joba is going back in the Pen and Hughes will taking his place in the rotation.

However, with Girardi as manager, there is a negative 11% chance of that happening. I'm gonna call him Robot Joe from now on, because he manages like a robot. 8th inning? It's gotta be Bruney because he's the "8th inning man" of course. Forget that Hughes has looked completely dominant and that he just threw 9 pitches, lets take him out & bring in Bruney! Yeah!

Rant over.

[PS17 81,920]

2 double plays in 2 innings. Gotta be better than that, Yanks!

[Otter 27,367]

From Mark Feinsand's Twitter...

"Jose Molina to play two rehab games with Scranton; could be activated by Saturday. And yes, folks, Cervelli will go back to the minors."

Dumb. Molina is an automatic out. Cervelli has proven he can hit, call a good game, and be a good guy in the clubhouse.

[MagicBizkit87 7,087]

and plus Cervelli has shown he could catch Joba in the starting role. Very stupid move sending him down.
