yanks at jays

[TKF]

today mitre is back to being his awful self.. geez, this guy is just terrible. Hits, walks, walking batters home.. geez. I hate giving these types of games away. with him on the mound, the yanks need to score 12 runs to win a game..

[TKF]

really. How bad do you have to pittch to let toronto have a 5 run and counting.. Inning?

thank god we have a 8.5 game lead...

[TKF]

letting mitre pitch us into trouble, you can see that girardi was throwing this game away... 8.5 game lead.... 27 games left.. he took an early "l" on this one... 7 run inning and counting.. wow... wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nykgeneralmanager]

Kind of a "whatever" game for me, reinforced what we already know.

[TKF]

8 run 5th inning for toronto... girardi really needs to do something about mitre.. really

there is a serious concern at SP for us, who starts in the playoffs after CC?

[Wade2k6]

Well we know it won't be Mitre, so we won't have to worry about the starters giving up 10+ runs in 5 innings (at least I hope not).

IMO I put Pettitte as our number 2. I actually trust him in the playoffs over CC but deff over AJ. So for me it goes CC, Andy then AJ.

It was just an ugly game all around. 4 errors, misplays, running into each other... not pretty..

[Dr. Detfink]

I wouldn't put two lefties back to back. I think the rotation is fine: CC Sabbathia, AJ Burnett, and Andy Pettitte.

Cashman got Mitre because he wanted to keep Hughes in the pen. He's basically rolling the dice that the Yanks can win 4 out of 5 tries...and so far, he's almost completely correct.
