And you should damn well win it. No excuses. Jays pitching issued 8 BBs, Yankees 1. That’s probably the big difference maker right there. All those extra opportunities to score, and the Yankees cashed 4 times from my count. You can’t give a team that many extra chances, especially a team like the Yankees and on a day when the ball is carrying out of the park. Yes, Cecil was terrible again, and so was Ryan. 7 walks between the two of them. That’s been part of Ryan’s problem this year, way too many walks. More missed opportunities by Jays again (namely Rios on 3rd and 1 out). And I have to agree, Dellucci has got to go. He has been terribly unimpressive thus far to say the least. Anyway, its frustrating to see the Jays batting do well for once and score a bunch of runs, but then their pitching lets them down again. How often has that happened this season? It really makes you wonder how much of a different game today may have been if Richmond had been pitching. My guess is, Yankees wouldn’t have scored 10. And what the hell’s with that new Yankees stadium? Balls leave the park that don’t even look like they are hit that well, a la Damon’s blast yesterday that tied the game. That place is a joke. Unfortunately the Yankees are able to ride it and take advantage a lot more often than other teams. Romero better give a better performance tomorrow than Cecil did today or we’re looking at a 4 game sweep. It’s a shame that the Jays just can’t seem to click on all cylinders lately (ie. when hitting does good, pitching doesn’t and vice versa). They better figure it out very soon otherwise they’re going to be way out of it before long, if they aren’t already.

and hoping karma takes care of the rest.

Sheesh!! 8 runs in four innings and one more hit the rest of the way? The entire clubhouse should be embarrassed.

I don’t know if anyone has made this demand before, but I think we need to release BJ Ryan. I really believe he is finished. It is not as much velocity as command. If you cannot throw strikes, it doesn’t matter how hard you throw, major leaguers are not scared of you. Just wait until you have a 2-0 or 3-1 count and sit fastball. What do the rest of you think about this one?

Just a gut feeling, but I think Rolen’s hitting streak could turn into something special. His ability to see pitches and his line drive rates make him a prime candidate for this kind of streak, in my opinion. Let’s hope the offense can do well in the coming weeks. The more runs they score, the more AB’s he’ll get.

we might as well call up Purcey.
