HAVE to take 2/3. Hoping for a sweep.
Tonight is one of the more important games of the second half – prove that the last 9 (well, 8 of the last 9) weren’t a fluke, and that there’s no Red Sox hangover.
YES!!!!!! I”m going to see Joba start on Wed!!!!!
moose could actually get 20 wins this season… nuts.
Rasner vs the Baltimore offense
Joba matched up w/ the lefty is a good heads up decision by G.I. Joe
smell sweep
I can smell the Division lead, Boston vs Halo’s, Tampa on the road….
Rasner is auditioning for his new role as staff ace for Scranton/Wilkes Barre’s playoff run.
Win, Loss, Win
I say the offense come’s thru..SWEEP…
“Joba matched up w/ the lefty is a good heads up decision by G.I. Joe”
It’s his turn in the rotation.
Cabrerra is a total Jekyl and Hyde pitcher. Hopefully we catch him on a ‘wild’ day and spank him.
He’s been really bad the last two starts.
Maybe Moose, Wash, Joba…
Would rather have Rasner matched up against Daniel Cabrera than anyone else.
“Maybe Moose, Wash, Joba…”
Washburn pitched yesterday Tim.
Fredo Corleone:
Sorry forgot..
Cabrera usually saves his better performances for the Yankees and the Bronx, though. Two out of three is fine with me—keep winning series should be the goal.
Hey Tampa has Burnette and Roy in Toronto…
Boston has the Halo’s..we need to sweep…
Tonight is a big game. Guthrie is their best starter
Let’s just keep playing heads up baseball like we have been. Hitting with RISP and good pitching gave us an 8 game win streak.
Notice that last night we had neither of those going for us and we suffered a lopsided loss. I would not have minded losing the game had we continued doing what we’ve been doing, but we jsut weren’t there last night.
I was dissatisfied with how poorly we did with runners in scoring position. Arod led off an inning with a double in the 3rd(?) and then the whole bases juiced, no outs, and 2 runs already in and we do nothing but let Lester off the hook.
I realize you cannot win them all, but we can and should play solid baseball the rest of the way. Let’s start another win streak tonight and get into postition to take over the division lead.
“Boston has the Halo’s..we need to sweep…”
Halos historically struggle in Boston. Lackey would rather eat his own liver than pitch in Fenway. Still, they did win two in Boston earlier this year.
Expecting 2 out of 3, almost need the sweep though. Rough schedule up ahead.
“It’s his turn in the rotation.”
Semantics. GI Joe is a genius. Admit it Fredo.
Plus Lackey says he’s now going through his annual “dead-arm” period (7.61 ERA, 36 H in last 23.2 IP)—can’t bode well for him pitching to Ortiz and Ramirez in Fenway.
I would say SWEEP is the word of the day !
so does anyone throw at an oriole to retaliate over cabrera hitting jeter? or are we over that
Nady and Marte will be the trade most talked about in the offseason, as referring to some genius moves made this year by Cashman. He stole those guys from Pittsburgh and in a few days, he’ll steal Washburn from Seattle. The season is changing, Im liking our chances more and more. Our Bullpen is unhittable, Moose is a potential 20 game winner, Joba is damned near untouchable, and lets not forget that we may get Wang back in Sept. Making a possible playoff rotation of Mussina, Pettite, Wang, Joba, Washburn…..holy poop!
O’s = next step turns 1st place. Im actually rooting for Toronto tonight!
The way the Yankees hit these guys—we are gonna need – two 1-0 games (hope that I am jinxing the O’s)
Rasner has no chance and should not be pitching—we have to suffer another week of Rasner and Ponson
good thing the games are at the Stadium
Ras and Sid are not long term answers, but Sid has pitched decently for us overall and Ras had one of his best outings vs. Minny. Would prefer, however, to see Aceves promoted, despite his recent struggles. I’d also like to see Kennedy back in the mix soon.
It’s a wrong arrange.
They should give Mussina one more day off,rather than give Rasner six days off.
