Fine, let them be overconfident. I'd choose to face a rested Hughes over  Fatass on three days rest.

Can we assume they wouldn't bring him back on three days rest for game four if they lost tonight?

Would be nice to win the next two so we don't have to see CC again. 



Girardi announced Hughes as Game 4 starter.  Doesn't mean he can't change his mind, but that would look like a panic move.

ballsy call to pinch hit for Arod in the bottom of the ninth. And a smart call.

Crushing.  Not sure they can recover from it.  Like the Nats they just can't score.

Saunders tomorrow.  Gotta get the horseshoe from Ibanez.

Well at least the quality of pitching is going down tomorrow for the yankees.  Hopefully they can get a blow-out. I wouldn't put JJ back in a game again this series.  He is the Orioles version of Billy Cundiff.

I don't think I've seen anything like it.  It absolutely risks dividing the clubhouse if it goes wrong, but instead it worked out way better then even Girardi imagined.  Gutsy f'in call.

He sat Jeter and A-Rod in back to innings and comes back on the O's for the first time in their season.  I'm still shaking my head.

Orioles hitting .208 in the series.  That's gotta change.  And fast.

If the Orioles are up by one in the ninth tonight, who are you going to give the ball to?

Agreed.  They need to hit the ball.  i'm not blaming it on the pitching.

well if you have given up a blown save and a loss in the first 3 games of the series and have given up what 6 runs in less than 4 innings.  I think we can complain about your pitching.  Gonzalez and O'Day were stellar but JJ lost that game.  Just like he lost the first game.  With Strop not being able to be trusted and JJ totally choking the Orioles have no plan at all for closing games.

Agreed. Doesn't excuse Adam Jones from being pretty awful.  Wieters and Hardy haven't hit, either.  A lot of blame to go aruond but JJ flat out lost the game last night.  Don't see him pitching at all tonight so we'll see what Buck does.

Johnson only threw 22 pitches last night.  If the situation calls for it I'm sure Buck won't hesitate to use him.  Here's hoping they have a big enough lead and won't need to.

If he does pitch, I predict one inning and he doesn't allow a run. You don't save 51 games and then fall apart every time you go out there.

How on earth did you predict a closer to pitch one inning and allow no runs?
