Thought B.J. Ryan looked rocky. And all this talk about him not pitching in back-to-back games doesn't inspire either.
As for Yankees homers, Sonnanstine pretty much stuck them out there for them, it'll help their confidence though. But from 7-2 allowing the (Devil) Rays come back to 7 -7, that won't help.
Will this be another year of the Yankees trying to out-bat the errors the pitchers make?
:eek: better believe it! Yankees staff is awful - unlike ours

Wow!...really wasnt expecting that! More than meets the eye I'm sure...I hear the uniform department have ordered extra O,B,D,S and N's Rolen back next week, and Frank wasn't showing much power other than in the games vs Sox. 0

Are you the man runnin around in the terios emblazoned with red sox regalia?
WYK
Em, no. Drive something a bit classier (clue in sig)and Frank wasn't showing much power other than in the games vs Sox.
But top HR hitter last year, and one of top RBI men.
(I guess the Sox should cut Papi)
Rolen? First time in the AL for someone who looks like they're in decline.0 -

I tend to agree. On appearances Hughes and Kennedy will cost us big this year. I expected to lose about 10+ with moose but you cant lose that amount with 2 more starters and hope to compete.
Big pressure on andy and wang to carry them. I'm half expecting some possible trades.
Not sure im agree with Hank on Joba. He looked well ropey in spring as a starter but then again Hughes looked great
Btw just watched Manny -vs- Moose take 2. Wow he OWNS him.0 -
Just watchin the yanks and white sox there and I think it was Nick Schwiser but he broke his bat by swinging lol. Was the weirdest thing ive ever seen and commentator said Jim Rice was the only other known to have done it.
Pretty mad, nearly the entire bat broke off during the swing lol 0 -

Man this season just gets uglier every day. Royals 8 - Jays 4
Wells and Eckstein with errors, and another starter blows it in one inning. Good grief! 5 game losing streak now. Why oh why, would someone please tell me, is a "Gold Glove" SS (ok he didn't win it last year but he should have for his D!) sitting on the bench when he should be in for his defense in late innings, especially with a lead. It beggars belief. Am I panicing? No of course not, its still early.

I actually think you's will be fine. Pains me to say it
Your rotation can eat innings and you's have the bats to mostly cover up mistakes by the relief corp. In oki and papelbon you have a pretty lock tight 8 and 9th for tight games.
I mean you's had a bad skid there a few games back barely hitting and getting sweeped by rays? and your still +3.5 games.
Definately looks as though yous have won with the battle of the young guns between buchholz-lester -vs- hughes-kennedy.0 -

+1 to that... Think we will be fine out once we have oki and paps.. Dont think there is a team in baseball that wishes they didnt have stronger middle relief, its just not there.. Its so hard to find consistent pitchers to pitch middle relief as they get big contracts elsewhere if they have a big year and/or are likely to be in-consistent year on year as they are just not that good!! Think a mixture of Delcarmen, Hansen, Aardesma, Timlin, Lopez or Taveraz should be enough to bridge innings to oki and paps.. Its not like we are asking them to carry too much of a load.. And if the starting pitchers can continue in this strong inns eating form, all the better..
As with the Yanks, i can't understand the struggle of Hughes/Kennedy.. (Kennedy did pitch well in minors yesterday though).. Yankees need to sort alot out at the moment they look a bit battered up.. I'd be far more worried if i was in their corner tbh..0 -

I am anyway Although I don't think theres much to pick from Joba-Mo and Oki-Pap. (Even after last night 
)
With hughes and kennedy, it appears hughes was picthing with a broken rib for maybe a game or two which might explain some things because he did not pitch badly at all in as many outings last year.
Kennedy on the other hand just genuinely seems to be struggling. Although i don't think the offense helped his cause at all. I think kennedy will be back inside this month but I reckon he will only get a few attempts.
His last start wasnt bad he went right at the strikezone and was getting strikes but some very bad defence let runners on and girardi panicked i think.0
