Yankees-Orioles/Series Thread

[Veovis]

Hey, at least Seattle lost too. I am really looking forward towards Hughes vs. Bedard tomorrow. So far the Orioles have had their way with our pitching, so lets hope the kid gives his first good effort at the Stadium today. This is the first time I get to watch him pitch since that "no-hitter" against Texas. I'm pretty excited.

I kind of wish we won one for the Scooter last night though...

Exactly, at least Seattle lost so we didn't lose ground to them. it would have been nice if TB didn't blow it against the bottom of the Sox order but at least Seattle lost.

Game 2: Push. Depends on which DCab shows up. With the way the Yanks are hitting the ball, I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't make it 5. But just when you think Cabrera has gone and lost it, he often comes back with a gem. One is just as likely as the other.

Well, looks like we got pretty lucky Danny. 6.2 IP, 2 H, 6 BB, 5 K. Not a gem, but I'll take it.

Well, hopefully tonight galvanizes the FO to send down Brower and Karstens. We have better options in Britton and Ramirez sitting at AAA.

Haha! And so it did! Karstens and Brower are out, Henn and Ramirez are back up!

What Edwar did in AAA is no joke. You do not strike out 69 batters in 40 innings on accident. I think we all remember his MLB debut where he struck out the side. That change is absolutely filthy. Joe just needs to give him regular work to keep the pitch sharp.

Yankees down 3-0, A-rod just stole second with Matsui up to bat, 1-2 is the count.

[BuckFoston]

Matsui grounds out to Bedard! One out
Jorge grounds out as well but A-rod advances to third. 2 outs, Lets go Phillips bring him in!

[Veovis]

Frustrating game so far. Hughes' velocity still isn't fully back yet.

[BuckFoston]

Fuh freakin Phillips grounded out too.

[BuckFoston]

Jeter made an error! Were starting to look like the Yankees at the beginning of the year.

[Veovis]

This is still do-able. We just need to get Bedard out of the game, haha.

[Veovis]

Haha, alright Edwar! 1 pitch 1 out. I certainly like Henn and Edwar more than Karstens and Brower. Good grief.

I hope that is it for Bedard. We've got a chance against that bullpen!

[Veovis]

Well, looks like they want him to go seven. Damn.

[Veovis]

Whew, he made that look easy. Probably because it was. I know Bedard is murder on lefties, but at this point, Cano, Giambi, and Abreu need to be given a chance to do something. This lineup today is weak.

[Veovis]

Did I say it or did I say it? Edwar is awesome and that change is filthy. Now lets wake up bats!

Give me Jim Hoey. Great start by Erik.
