Otter 27,367 Posted June 30, 2009 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Otter 27,367 Posted July 1, 2009 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Otter 27,367 Posted July 1, 2009 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Otter 27,367 Posted July 2, 2009 I don't see how they can overturn this home run call. Looks like it went right over the top of the pole. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Otter 27,367 Posted July 2, 2009 Watching Griffey hit that home run brought back some bad memories. 1995. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Otter 27,367 Posted July 2, 2009 This bullpen has been looking dominant. I give Girardi and Cashman credit for the improved bullpen. They've found a good blend there. I just want to see them do it against the top contenders. 7 straight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
