I was supposed to be going today to see Brett Cecil get smashed around, but my friends pooped out on me. Lamers... Ah well. If I'd had the chosen, I'd have gone Sunday. The last time I saw Dusty pitch, it was a one-hit shutout against Colorado 4 years ago. I wouldn't expect that against the Yankees, of course, but I hope he gives us a quality start, for both our sake and his. Even with those damned 'chops, I always liked McGowan. And damn, when he was locating his fastball and that curveball was on, he was about as nasty as it gets. Kinda like Morrow.

Rasmus should be back tonight but Lawrie is listed as day-to-day after colliding with Varitek on Wednesday.

Best to take it slow with Rasmus. Wouldn't mind 5 IP and then subbing him out for Loewen just to keep the strain off of him. No reason to rush Lawrie back, either.

McCoy sucks and Teahen should be playing for Lind given their respective career numbers vs CC.

JoeyBats · Post #14 » by **JoeyBats** » Fri Sep 16, 2011 8:23 pm

Why is Mccoy leading off and Johnson batting 9th?

Homer Jay · Post #15 » by **Homer Jay** » Fri Sep 16, 2011 11:13 pm

Nice curve for the SO against Granderson... completely fooled him.

What a pathetic effort with a runner on 3rd 1 out lol.

I'm loving how he is recovering from being behind hitters. Janssen like movement on that FB today too.

Is Buck right? Is that 2-seamer in the low 90s a new addition? Because he's throwing that sucker and it's working really well. Last one he threw to Martin was a tailing, sinker at 95 mph. Nasty.

Also, if JPA's throw was on target, that would have been an out instead of a SB. Boo.
