Personally, I think Edwar and Bruney hardly belong at this point. I don't get to see many games living in Oregon; tell me otherwise and help a gameday brother out. What if they went with Scott Patterson if he does well in his next couple SWB starts? I forgot Veras, too. Personally, I think Edwar and Bruney hardly belong at this point.

Chamberlain, Viz, and Mo can only do so much. Seems like Joe was willing to trust Edwar, so why not Edwar the 7th, Joba the 8th, and depending on whether we have scored or not, if there is a good chance to win, Joba the 9th.

This is a spot I would have used Farnsworth. I know that's begging for an implosion but he's sitting out in the pen doing nothing.

The Phillies are my NL team since i grew up there and i was wondering what the situation with Rowand is. Is there any way they let him go? Is their any way the Yankees take a flier out on him?

Instead of being in the pen he could be that ace were lacking. It’s too bad mike mussina wasn’t sucking ass the time that joba came up. Instead of being in the pen he could be that ace were lacking.

If not, who did you want to replace Pettitte and when? I'm really looking forward to your answers because other than Chamberlain (who I wouldn't use in that situation) I don't think any of the available relievers would have done much better than Pettitte.
