You would think the RAYS would have a shot at winning today

[chrisharvard01]

HUGHES not great...

after getting shelled yesterday, and NYY not in a need to win spot... you'd think maybe the RAYS won't get embarrassed again. 5-5 L10.

Rays are 3-9 in their last 12 opening games of a double-header, though.

[chrisharvard01]

Not endorsing the RAYS, just hard to lay off. I think I will play on WOLF. You gotta like the way the brew crew are swinging the wood their last 5 games or so

[leetreaper]

a must-win

[chrisharvard01]

I read somewhere NYY owns Shields but that's not true, 1.59 ERA 1-2 v NYY this year.

[Vaioice]

Under 8.5 best play for Yanks game

[chrisharvard01]

Who is this guy that is subbing for mr back spasm hughes

[thebestthereis]

Look at Shields first, read the book the art of choking, then make your selection

[mighty maron]

Took the Yankees ml

[chrisharvard01]

low scoring...

[Ratzz]

wANKiES have used 5 pitchers... in 6 innings.

this is defnitley Jirardey's playoff strat.

[Ratzz]

i like it really... 9 batters and 9 pitchers

balanced attacke.

[chrisharvard01]

wANKiES have used 5 pitchers... in 6 innings. this is defnitley Jirardey's playoff strat.

yeah, and it looks like they might even win this game.

boys i think tampa is the play game 2. just one win clinches the yanks playoff so they won't need to win game 2. there will be a monkey off their back if they win game 1.

[thebestthereis]

Shields has great numbers, it is because he never pitched this year under any pressure cause his team was toast til two weeks ago. Big game James lost his last two starts when his team needed him to win. Learn who chokes and who doesn't and you will make good money. Free advice.

[chrisharvard01]

NYY really want this game2 now that the BoSox blew their load against BALTY


Girardi had to make a decision and pull C.C.


CC's pissed now but at least he can't get his post game snack before dinner...

[chrisharvard01]

Wow, the RAYS are so pathetic!

[face]

rays were scared and loaded up the bases and changed pitchers a bunch. well, that's not the answer is it? no.

[chrisharvard01]

No, it's not at all. Scared is definitely what they were. Pissed scared. Why is Maddon a good manager, again? He can't manage the big games.

Tampa lost the game but Joe Maddon lit the fuse to blow it up. Terrible calls. I'm not sure if they will make the playoffs, but they really shouldn't.
