vs. YANKEES 9/5

[alaniee]

Nice pitch by Garcia. Jones swung through it. We got 4 runs that inning. Damage done. 5-2 O's, now we gotta make it STICK. Good pitching!

[allquixotic]

A 5-2 lead may as well be a 1-0 lead with Matusz up against the Yankees.

Robo-Buck is going to keep Matusz in until after the Stankees take the lead.

[OFFNY]

Bring in Jakubauskas if Matusz allows a single base-runner this inning.

.

Matusz walks a guy on 4 pitches with a 5-2 lead. Has Kevin Gregg already become our new pitching coach ???

[alaniee]

Not a good start. lead off hitter gets on first base. 0 outs. Come on!

[jets4ever]

Bring in Jakubauskas if Matusz allows a single base-runner this inning.

Let him pitch through it.

What's the difference at this point for us as a team. But, we have to find out about him.

[alaniee]

wow, Matusz is looking pretty bad out there. Just throw strikes, its not that hard when you're a professional baseball pitcher.

[OFFNY]

Jaku is up on the bullpen already.

Bring in Jakubauskas if Matusz allows a single base-runner this inning.

I would rather see Jim Johnson pitch the 2nd through the 7th innings. Give him kind of a mini-start. Let him test the waters of what it feels like to pitch over 2 innings.

The reality is, Buck will probably gut Matusz through 6 innings of 12-run baseball and then bring in Willie Eyre to give up a grand slam.

Jaku up in the pen. Good. Get him ready.

That's an even better idea.

Hello Jaku.

Goodbye Matusz.

I hopethis is it for you. If we want to win this game, Buck will pull you now.

[alaniee]

Wow. Granderson with a nice hit. 5-4. What did I say earlier? I guess Buck just isn't so smart.

[allquixotic]

Buck doesn't want to win. He follows the rule of: I will only pull a pitcher after he blows our lead by 2 or more runs, preferably 3.

Matusz...so bad...so depressing.
