Regarding Howard’s catch. Utley was safe at first on the double play. Even the umps agreed with that after the game. And none of the called strikes on Ryan Howard’s at bats were anywhere close to being strikes.

“AJ and Mo were HUGE tonight, in a must-win game they shut down a high-powered offense that was firing on all cylinders. I like Andy at Citizens Bank, Cole Hamels may have a better winning percentage at home, but that ain’t saying much. I’m thinking, with some luck, we take 2 in philly and come home up 3-1.”

You mean 3-2. I agree. That is what I am hoping for as well.

On the DP in the 7th inning…

Why did Howard throw to 2nd base for the DP. All he had to do was touch 1st base. Because Howard knew he caught it on a short hop and he was trying to get the lead runner.

We definitely need instant replay.

the anti Yankee tilt from McCarver is getting ridiculous

but at least I learned that Melky doesn’t have a strong arm, lol!

I’m pumped that the Yankees won tonight, but Girardi’s mismanagement of the bullpen must be addressed. He’s terrified to use any of the bp guys other than Mo. If he clearly defined roles in the pen, then perhaps guys like Hughes and Joba might get comfortable, instead of being randomly used for one guy and then tossed aside for Damaso F–king Marte.
Girardi is going to blowout Mo in one of these games and then we’ll have the luxury of seeing Brian Bruney in a big spot. Awesome.

OK, now take at least one in Philly, then close it out in New York. Better yet, take 2 of 3 in Philly, and make my prediction come true.

I still don’t like the 6 out saves for Mo, that is going to come back to haunt Girardi if he can’t get Hughes, or someone else, straightened out to be the bridge.

Looks like Utley forgot his shampoo for the road trip.

Is Mat Stairs the walrus? Goo Goo Ga Joob…
