I have complete faith in Andy. He'll give us a good 6 innings tonight at a minimum. Then Joba for 2 and Mo to take us back to NY at a game apiece, with Westbrook and Byrd to beat on at the big ballpark in the Bronx.

Ugh Matsui is moved up in the order to hit 5th and provide protection for ARod.

That's not good for anybody.

i think you meant to call him MAYrod.

Carmona threw some nasty pitches to strike him out.

If ARod can't hit Westbrook, Byrd and the Indians bullpen when it matters, then he's officially MAYrod.

those were nasty pitches...but he was completely fooled on that last one. he has to make contact at least...especially if he's gonna demand $30 mil.

I'm really not one to defend ARod but that last pitch was one of the best sinkers Carmona has thrown today. I don't think anybody could have done anything with it.

The 3rd time around he better have a good AB though. For $30M I expect him to be able to make adjustments.

PETTITTE IS GOD
islesfan @ 10/5/2007 7:07 PM
Pettitte is just the fucking man. He really is.
islesfan @ 10/5/2007 7:16 PM
dj, you're right, he's Mayrod until further notice.
islesfan @ 10/5/2007 7:35 PM
Joba Rules!!
djsunyc @ 10/5/2007 7:35 PM
joba baby...that was a HIGH pressure spot for the kid.
islesfan @ 10/5/2007 7:36 PM
The kid is unflappable.
djsunyc @ 10/5/2007 7:41 PM
carmona pitching a GEM.

this is an october classic - old school yankee playoff game.
islesfan @ 10/5/2007 7:44 PM
This is like game 5 of the 1996 World Series.

Also with Mr Pettitte on the mound.

I hope it ends the same way.
djsunyc @ 10/5/2007 7:50 PM
jeez - look at those bugs.
islesfan @ 10/5/2007 7:54 PM
What do you expect? Cleveland is a cesspool.
djsunyc @ 10/5/2007 7:55 PM
these bugs have changed the pace/momentum of this game. just terrible...i'm not liking this.
islesfan @ 10/5/2007 7:56 PM
YES MINKY!!
PresIke @ 10/5/2007 7:58 PM
what the hell...bugs are going to cost us the series!?!?
islesfan @ 10/5/2007 8:00 PM
Joba needs to throw his fastball more. I've thought that for awhile now.
islesfan @ 10/5/2007 8:00 PM
Carmona looked like he was coming back out for the ninth.
