Game Thread: Fightin' Jays @ Bronx Bombers Round 2

Saturday September 22 - Bronx, New York
1:05 PM (EDT)


Toronto Blue Jays
Reed Johnson rf
Matt Stairs 1b
Alexis Rios cf
Frank Thomas dh
Aaron Hill 2b
Russ Adams 3b
Adam Lind lf
Curtis Thigpen c
Rey Olmedo ss

Pitching: Shaun Marcum, RHP


New York Yankees

Hideki Matsui lf

Robinson Cano 2b

Pitching: Phil Hughes, RHP


They are resting Roger Clemens for Phil Hughes as the Yankees do some serious rotation juggling.

Both the Yankees and Jays wasted some arms in the 14 innings game yesterday. We have Banks, Towers and League who didn't pitch yesterday. I am sure Frasor and Downs could step in as well. Hopefully Marcum can go deep into a game but that isn't likely where he has struggled against the Yankees this season to a tune of a 6.06 ERA in 16 1/3 IP.

There isn't much news as it is the end of the season and while we are out of it, beating up on our AL East enemies feels sweet. Go Jays!

Wasn't it like that last year?
When we jumped ahead of Boston and finally went on the run we were supposed to have much earlier.

but swap the late run with the early collapse
and you get a depressing late collapse, so there's that.

Stairs caught looking
Maybe his poor numbers at 1B will make him cheaper for us when we sign him to play LF (where his numbers are insane).

delivery having too much arm and not enough leg, but if he used his legs more wouldn't he be worse at holding runners and a worse fielder?

This can't end well for us.
The Yankees have a 16 man bullpen right now.

Igawa out, Rivera in

probably not making him happy.

Yucky Game
It's funny you'd think that if we score 11 runs we'd win even against the Yankees but our pitchers consistently got behind everyone. walked countless people got behind everyone 2-1 and 2-0 and 3-1.

Horrible execution today by this pitching staff.

Sure the Yankees were the same way but we are supposed to win games with pitching not lose them.

We used our best pitching to keep the tie
in Friday's game, and were stuck with the dregs to try to hold a lead.
