[quote=MaTH716]Hughes should go into the rotation and Joba should go to the pen. I really don't know why they are so dead set on starting Joba. They have a hole in the bridge to Mariano. If Joba's the 8th inning guy, he probably starts the 8th last night. Girardi has no confidence in anyone besides Mariano out there. Put it this way, if they were to lose Mariano for the rest of the year, you would have to be crazy to think that Joba would be closing games the next day.
As far as the cluchness of ceratin players, I'm done arguing about it now. We will see down the stretch who's worth the dough they get (for the record I think that they are all grossly overpaid, it's a damn game for cryin out loud!). But in my opinion the pitching has been and still is the biggest problem.[/QUOTE]
i tend to agree with you on that , but, last night's game - although only 1 out of 162 games had extra meaning - the yanks were playing to get back in 1st place , they were playing to WIN a game against a team that they haven't beaten all year and now won't see for 2 months---they might go on a tear here and take back the division , but , when aug/spet rolls around we will be back in this circus about the 0-8 against boston .... not something joe or the players want to have to deal with , but they are going to have to deal with it.
against the #5 starter on boston we didn't do much offensivly - we should be able to knock him out of the game , we should score more runs agianst this pig , we can clearly see the bullpen failures , i see the lack of run production against a bum , anyway you cut this one it's not good the #5 starter for boston started a game that his team won over the #1 starter on our team - this is not supposed to happen when there are 2 $20mm players batting 3 and 4th and they go a combined 1/8 last night- neither one of these $20+mm players got a hit off this pig Penny
