    yes of course

    well, of course there's a chance the game runs into the 10 O Clock hour, so I'm gonna have to put this grudge match into the calendar in pencil. Shall we make Tuesday, the off day in between Game 4 and Game 5, the "rain date"?

    if we're talking about a reliever pitching three innings in two games, i'd rather it be mo than joba. i don't know why. maybe the "rules" have made me paranoid. and if veras or farnsworthless can't even pitch to the first batter of the eighth in that situation, it seems silly to even be carrying them on the roster...

    steinbrenner supposedly has been this way according to some reports i've read since 2003. if you remember he collapsed at a funeral in the winter of 2003 and he was rather silent after they lost to the Red Sox.

    If the Yankees are up 2-0 or if the series is tied at 1-1, I'd take a shot with those guys but in games where everything is on the line, you have to win or lose with your best out the pen.

    what really pissed me off is that there were people in my section (right above the yankees' bullpen) booing and taunting farnsworth while he was warming up. how is that supposed to help his confidence??? you boo him after he fucks up, not before...

    idiots. :rolleyes:

    another thing that's quietly a factor in why torre has done enough in my mind to stay. this time of a year a guy like hideki matsui could and under most any manager would have been benched but torre maintains his confidence in him and he gets two hits, scores three runs and is on base four times. how he handles personalities of people is a skill that tends to fall under the radar many times.

    and a year ago, lou pinella was the supposed replacement. after seeing how he botched game one with zambrano and saving him for a possible game four, i'd hate to have seen that happen if he managed the yankees and pulled Wang in a 1-1 game because he was saving him for a game that was not even guaranteed to happen.

    well, I'll admit I wanted Matsui out tonight. Game 2 too. Torre said he could break out any time, and I wondered if Torre had watched Games 1 & 2.

    exactly my point, in this crazy environment that is the yankees, there is no one more suited to handle it with the demeanor and personality that torre has.

    Regarding Joba, I heard some announcers saying that they thought Torre would put Joba in so that Joba could rebuild his confidence after what happened in game 2. They thought that Joba might have been nervous after what happened and that going out there and shutting the Indians down tonight would give him confidence to come in again if a bigger situation arose in the next game(s)

    Can't say that plan worked too well. Joba looked gassed in the 8th inning after getting the first two outs. Looks like Mo might have to go two innings tonight if it comes to that.

    I HOPE YOU FUCKERS PULL THIS OUT!

    Red Sox fans want the fucking Yankees, not the Indians. For the first time in my life, I am actually rooting for the Yankees.

    That's funny because for the first time in my life I was rooting for the Red Sox to beat the Angels...ok but maybe not a sweep, lol.

    Exactly me too.

    Still have two hard games against the indians to win, but we beat them 6 times during the season so we have done it before.

    Wedge said Saturday and reiterated it again yesterday that he does not want to bring Sabathia back on three days rest, especially after he threw 114 pitches in five innings in Game One.

    Maybe ... but I remember in 04 when RSN was openly rooting for the Yankees to beat the Twins and that turned out pretty good. ;)
