Dr. A.J. and Mr. Hyde

2 Inn +, 4 Hits, 6ER, 4 BB, 2 K, 1 HR (27.00 ERA)
At least Molina only had one AB.
As bad as AJ was, the Yankees had a chance in the 9th inning.  Too bad Captain Intangibles hit into the double play, killing the rally.  It went from two on, nobody out, down by 3, [...]

It  ain’t over…. you get the point.  I’m not sure if I like bringing AJ in on short rest on the road.  It weakens the lineup because Molina plays instead of Posada.  And, based on the track record, Andy is not good on short rest himself.  Maybe I’m wrong and Andy can gear up for [...]

The Monkey is gone forever

A-Rod doesn’t have to worry any more.  He can just go out and play.  What a clutch hit in the 9th, all made possible by brilliant play by Damon.  I thought the momentum had shifted with the HR by Feliz.  Joba looked great, except for one misplaced fastball.  Also, very quietly Marte has become Mr. [...]

Damon a Demon to Phils.

What a veteran sequence by Johnny.   Nine pitch at bat, and you know he had the possibilty in mind of advancing to a unprotected third base if that opportunity presented, which it did. The surprise sure worked,  I’m sure all the “Table was yelling at their TV’s “what the hell is he doing”  initially not knowing [...]
