    I agree, the guy has an ERA in the mid 4's. He's not as unhittable as he looks against this team.

    Yeah Jonny, Abreu has been playing very well lately.

    And Pavano is pitching a gem, I just hope he can keep it up without injuring himself. And why is he always grimacing?

    It's not his .308 average, it's hit .240 average with runners in scoring position that bothers people.

    72 pitches? Girardi is a moron. It's the 7th inning and he's pitching great, use Pavano for one more and see what you get.

    Now he's gonna have to use half the bullpen and they have Rasner going tomorrow.

    the way they eliminated plans, and you need the 41 game plan for opening day now, the way the 41 game plan is opening day then you every other game for the rest of the season and how the 20 gamer is every fourth game. there arent as many options. at least no PSLs unless you have thousands upon thousands of dollars to thrown down on the luxury seats

    This is why I would have liked another inning out of Pavano.


    Did I hear that correctly? They're finally teaching this team to bunt? ON AUGUST 29th? TRAILING BY SIX IN THE WILD CARD? Where was this in June?

    Is it Girardi's fault these idiots cant bunt? NO. You learn this stuff in Little League. It's a joke that damon , cano etc cannot bunt.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Greg CohenAugust 30, 2008 at 12:24 PM

    Well it's the coaching staff's fault they don't practice bunting more. And it's the organization's fault that guys like Cano and Melky can't bunt.

    You learn how to bunt a 45 MPH pitch in little league not a 95 MPH pitch. It's very different, and not as easy as some people imagine.
