Yanks lose, and to make matters even worse, the injuries keep piling up.

And this will only continue. Their long man is Vazquez who they don't want to go to. Sometimes you have to lose the battle to win the war, and they need at least six from AJ tonight.

Eh, he's gotten some bad breaks, but he's done this to himself with his inability to throw strikes.
-
Awful job by A-Rod. You cannot setup in front of the bag there.
-
And Joe is going to stick with Burnett too long tonight to give them a legitimate chance to win.
-
They have to drop Jeter in the order.
-
Very frustrating when AJ faces bottom of the order hitters and just cannot throw strikes. Unfortunately it's not an uncommon occurrence.

Ugh, pretty bad call there by the second base ump.

Girardi's complaint had nothing to do with Beckett's injury. In fact, Girardi said after the game that he knows Beckett was definitely hurt.

Which is why I asked the question, I wasn't sure, as there was no simile or other clear indication that it was a joke. Furthermore, judging by some of your comments in the no-hitter thread, from an outside perspective, it would have been a reasonable assumption to think that you're being serious. However, I wasn't making any assumption, I was simply asking a question.

I didn't say the fifth inning, and I was talking about pitchers in general, not just aces. However, in the case of someone like Beckett, when it's clear he isn't pitching like that 'ace' you're talking about, I don't think it's worth the risk in the later innings to maybe let himself work through his issues. He can do that in the first half (or more) of the game.

No implications or connotations here, just an honest question. Do you really feel that in this setting, or any setting for that matter, your point is more valid because of your age?

It's important for manager's to anticipate problems, instead of waiting for them to arise. If the starter is struggling, you can't wait for him to put a couple guys on in the sixth or seventh inning before you get someone up in the bullpen. Someone already needs to be up in the bullpen, because a struggling starter isn't usually going to be able to work out of his own jam in the late innings.

But that's not the point. Wow. My point is that Mo didn't look too bad tonight, and I'm citing him making his pitch in that spot as evidence of that (among other things).

Haha, fair enough. As frustrating and disappointing a game it was in my eyes, I know that you guys are equally excited. Enjoy the win. Furthermore, I appreciate the votes of confidence from Dipre, SOTK, and Spudboy. Thanks guys.
