What a nice morning for Yankee fans. In New York, the sun is shinning but the humidity is gone, replaced by a cool breeze. A quick look at the standings is enough to make you smile–the Yanks hold a 2.5 game lead over the Rays in the AL East, and a seemingly insurmountable 10 game cushion over the Red Sox, who dropped two games (each by the score of 3-1) to the White Sox yesterday at Fenway Park.
Andy Pettitte threw three innings of a simulated game yesterday, an exercise where Alex Rodriguez got in his hacks, and there was nothing negative to report. The only Yankee who is out of sorts may be Javier Vazquez, and while I can appreciate his frustration, he hasn’t exactly earned anyone’s confidence lately. Does Girardi have too quick of a hook?
What do you think?
It wasn't so much that he had a quick hook, it's that he went to Mosely.
Vasquez should keep his mouth shut
I think Javier Vazquez has given us absolutely no reason to want to see him pitch to the go ahead run in the fifth inning.
I don't want to seen JV anywhere near a post-season roster. My pizza delivery guy yesterday had on a sox hat. He was a young kid and I told him I'd tip him despite the hat. After I signed the receipt I told him to have a nice Ocotober. He said, "you, too" before he realized what I meant. Then he laughed. : )
[0] When it comes to Javy, you can't have too quick of a hook.
[4] Cold!
