Shouldn’t Cano have scored on the missed throw home to get Matsui? A-Rod was waving him home…

Except it likely would have ended up exactly the same – Hughes sucks, gives up multiple runs. How the hell is Hughes sucking Girardi’s fault? Did he kick him in the shins before his appearance?

Blaming the manager REEKS of Red Sox Nationism. Can’t be the players, they’re too good. How could they screw up without proper mismanagement?

It’s embarrassing how stupid every single person has become in regards to Joe Girardi.

No Rivera in the 7th. He doesn’t pitch enough in those situations…don’t like it there. I would have started the inning with AJ, but after the walk, would have brought in Robertson. Thinking maybe Robbie’s elbow is bothering him, because Joba isn’t as good, and Joba has been getting more use than Robertson lately.

Nice try at SEO there, but the links in the comments are nofollowed.

you mean the same saunders that held us to 2 runs or less the last 2 times he has faced us and has an era around 2 for the last 8 weeks?

BRUTAL game by Girardi. I just read a great article somewhere else on why Rivera should have been used in the 7th instead of Hughes. Hughes was just terrible, which surprised me. Maybe it was the pressure of the moment.

I just hope we can handle the pressure of games 6 and 7. We’ve got the two pitchers I’d want on the hill in Pettite and CC, but I am worried about CC. I know he’s done the short rest thing before, but it has to catch up eventually. He’s at like 250+ innings for the season and we’re not to the World Series!

Anyways, great post with lots of comments. That makes for a good forum! Also, if people would like to see some great New York Yankees memorabilia, head to my client Steiner Sports. It’s a great link in any Yankees Blog

Have to start CC on Sunday. WS considerations aside, you’re going to have to win one game anyway, you don’t get any extra credit for making it a game 7 instead of a game 6.

The reason for not bringing Burnett back in has nothing to do with Burnett. All year Hughes has started the inning and rarely come in with runners on. Why change what won you 103 ball games? Girardi is changing his pitchers’ routine at precisely the wrong time. He’s blowing he series !!
