vs. YANKEES 9/09

[scOtt]

OOC, but does anyone think McLouth wd be a better CF than AJones?

Maybe. But overall it would hurt the team. I think it would take Adam a good while to even get "comfortable" in left.

[Il BuonO]

Lots of empty lower seats. Was it like that all game or did a lot of people leave early?

40k attendance so they must have left after the blow out.

[LA2]

Lowe coming in it looks like, we aren't done yet.

Yes, let's at least make the score more respectable. I'd be happy with 13-8. But if we cdn't bring it against Chamberlain and Wade....

He has a really good arm, if there a was ever a move it should be to right to take advantage of that. Think Torii Hunter of the Angels.

YEah, I wonder how he'd take it. I guess Buck wdn't dare to do it unless there was a real long-term commitment to McLouth, which I don't see yet.

[scOtt]

Yes....and Adam should be moved to right to take advantage of his arm.

I read this after I posted about left. That's a good idea socal! Put X in left.

[LA2]

Out of ten pitchers today, only one (Wade) has an ERA below 4.72.

Right, maybe platoon Ford or even Hoes if they call him up vs LHP. That makes us stronger overall defensively with Nick gone.

Left early. Lot of Orange in the park today. At least 50-50.

And we had 4 hits. How frickin pathetic is that. They should be embarrassed.

[LA2]

Regardless of today's score, I bet the Y's are glad to get out of Charm City. See you in the playoffs!

We looked bad today Jonesy, no doubt. But it's just one game. We're a game out of 1st. These are GOOD times!

Right! The Yankees were walking up to Reynolds in BP just to touch him! Just a joke but shows mucho respect.

Another thing... ARod in the 8th on first. He jogged into third base when the score was 10-3. Not piling on. I hate to say ANYTHING nice about him but that was pretty classy.

And we learned some things about some players returning into our depth chart, like Betemit vs. RHP (check), Arrieta as middle reliever (check), Hunter bringing heat in short relief (check), Matusz > Phillips, Gregg still useless.
