Cmon Lackey we just need to get outs.

[VA Sox Fan]

Nice K

[SeanJohn93]

big strikeout

[jung]

Nice job Lackey

[SeanJohn93]

by the way, i went to the yankee game yesterday and it was $9.50 for a beer

[VA Sox Fan]

Way to hang Lackey! Nice outing for him.

[jung]

Hopefully Lackey feels good enough to pitch the next inning.

[BornToRun]

Can't wait to ditch this friggin sig so I can bring back the JLDNSC.

[Bellhorn04]

Carp has 5 doubles and 2 triples in 21 at-bats.

[SeanJohn93]

any shot he comes back out next inning?

[Bellhorn04]

So the decimated Yankees are about to hang on a 4 game sweep on the Jays that will drop the Jays to a hideous 9-17.

[crazydiamond]

Great job, Lackey!

I can't imagine how frustrating it must have been to start the season the way he did, and I hope he'll have a terrific season just because all the effort he put in solving his weight issues.

Looking to mess with good mojo. Foolish child.

I still think there is something wrong up there in Jaytown that goes way past balls and strikes.

Very funny.

It seems that way. Hopefully it gets even worse when we go there.

[SeanJohn93]

nice at bat by drew so far

[italstallianion]

It looks like our sweep of Houston was just because we're a better team than them all around, whereas the Yankees sweep of Toronto was because they were lucky and came back and won games. They should have lost a few of those games but again, the old timers hit home runs at the right moment.

 

That said, hopefully the same crappy Toronto team awaits us.

[jung]

I honestly think the Jays are waiting for the hammer to drop on them and are just going through the motions. Never seen a team so completely uninvolved and unengaged as that team was when we were up there last. At that point, Joey Bats was about to come back and Reyes was still playing and basically carrying the rest of that rotting carcass on his back.

How much friggin time is left now?

[jung]

Terrific outing by Lackey. I bet he wishes he was still out there but better safe than sorry.

[a700hitter]

Very funny.

What is our W-L % while you have had that very catchy sig? I think the sig adds some credibility to you as a poster.

[jung]

too tall

Such a bitter old person^

[a700hitter]

Does Farrelll dare use Bard again today?

[italstallianion]

I'd loved to have seen Lackey out for another inning, but with a day off tomorrow we can use our bullpen a little more and 81 pitches is definitely safe to keep Lackey from reinjuring himself. Overall a very well done job. Now it's on to our bullpen to keep it.

[jung]

At 5-1 I would and try to spare Ueh or Taz....at 6-1 I definitely would.

Such a "don't know when to STFU a-hole" ^

[italstallianion]

It depends on what the score is, but I'd try to use him if it's a low leverage situation. I think he only threw 9 pitches (if they can be called pitches) in the last outing, and with the off day we can give our good pitches some well deserved rest before heading to Toronto, where we might have to fight a little harder to win.

 

That said, up by 4, I'd probably try to get 2 innings out of Mortensen.

[crazydiamond]

put Bard in the game, just to get the crowd going.
