vs. YANKEES 9/09

[El Gordo]

Sorry I give up. The Yankees are our daddy.

[ADZ23]

Welp, we split the series, coulda been worse all things considered

[dtk9119]

That'll do it...

[Flash- bd]

Phillips? Why?

Why not? He's pitched pretty well, has pretty decent stuff, and he was facing lefties--Matusz pitched last night (and has gotten a lot of work of late). Seems like it was the right time to bring him in; **** happens, Granderson blooped a single into left. That's why you don't put runners on base (in this case, load the bases).

[Ori-Al]

Another free runner scores. I hope the people who wanted A-Rod hit are happy.

Down five again. Bah.

[Slappy]

Quit giving up you pansies

[eddie83]

If you don't pitch Phillips there then why is he on the team. Threw well, bad break again.

[WEAVERMAN]

Didn't get the pitching we need today, unfortunately Zach did not have it.

[Goop]

This game has really pissed me off.

[OFFNY]

Let's move on.

Good idea. What a waste of energy in what has turned into a miserable game.

[Big#3fan]

I wanted to take this game. But I'm happy with a split. Hopefully we can take the series from TB

[Ori-Al]

We need better/smarter ABs, guys.

[Slappy]

The game isn't over. But has any team ever come back from a 5 run deficit in the 7th? Within the past 4 days? Like, in this series?!

[eddie83]

How many walks and HBP scored today? I think 5 of the 8 runs if my count is right. Maybe 6.
