Usually don't like to take such heavy public bets but it feels like Yankees can't lose tonight. Thinking about a 2 unit play on the Yankees which I don't do too often. Yankees lost a very tough game last night and even with Phelps pitching Yankees should win here against a crappy Sox lineup. Besides Ellsbury and Pedroia they have a bunch of nobodies. Also Cook got rocked for 7 runs last time he went against the yankees. New York should win the next 2 against the sox and losing 2/3 would be a huge surprise.
Cook is a gas can, Ibanez is 6 for 12 lifetime against him, I don't know why that Martian Girardi doesn't spot start McGehee at either first or third tonight because he owns Cook too, but Girardi is going with Swish at first and Chavez at third who is an E-5 waiting to happen.
Even still, Yanks should torch Cook, and I love Phelp's stuff.
Yanks up by 2 heading into the ninth. I'm on the RL, so hopefully they can add a couple of runs here to make the bottom of the 9th a tad more comfortable.
