Did they confirm that? I thought it was just speculation.

Either way, I think it means only Sabathia goes on short rest, which he has proven he is more than capable of doing.

Heard it this morning but not completely sure.

I think it will be more of a product of the situation at the time.

In other words, would they do it if they were up 3-0? If they were down 0-3, definitely.

Good game last night.

It was. I had no idea Chan Ho Park still threw 96 mph.

Also, it would be cool to see Pedro vs. Manny tonight.

I'm going to the game tonight. I'm really hoping they get it in, since I have to drive from Boston down to NY. I've had rainouts in the past, and it basically turns the trip into a straight six - seven hr car ride.

My couch potato managing skills say Girardi did a shitty job last night

Your couch potato skills are absolutely correct. Girardi is starting to over manage a team that doesn't need it. He is placing way too much on his statistical analysis and failing to see the big picture.

Twice in two games he has left our lineup in shambles and reduced the bullpen to Chad Gaudin.

The Aceves move was easily the worst. Dave Robertson has sort have been a secret weapon this year. (Best k/inning ratio in MLB this year, I believe). He was cruising through 2 batters, and had only thrown 11 pitches. Girardi pulls him with two outs and brings in Aceves, because the fucking computer must have told him Aceves' stuff is more prone to getting a guy like Kendrick out. Ridiculous. All he did was substitute a very good pitcher for an inferior one, and the game was lost.

Now, if Swisher and any other hitter outside of ARod, Jeter, and Posada would do anything (Swisher blew it in two big spots with one out and a man on third) he wouldn't have this problem.

It's hard to really complain about a team that's now 5-1 in the playoffs this year, but that was a very winnable games. Don't want to give Anaheim any chances.

only 1 to go......sometimes i wish girardi would loosen up on the tony larussa style of yanking guys out when not needed,but overall they are dismantling physically and mentally the angels.
