This team is clicking on all cylinders. I still laugh at people who say Abreu wasn't a huge addition.

Abreu is a beast, I would take him in a heartbeat. A .400+ OBP is just not easy to get your hands on (unless you are the Yanks).

I think we're actually going to escape this jam, I really do.

In 2005, I'd have been shocked if we didn't.

 

In 2006, I'll be shocked if we do.

 

Then again...we do have the right guy at the plate.

I, as well, feel strangely confident in MacD.

August was cruel. It owes us.

man

Mackowiak in Center...Jeter scores.

Wow, Jeter would have been dead at the plate, but we would have f***ed it up somehow.

ok. not so much

Unbelievable, Ozzie FINALLY makes a good move, and the Bullpen falls apart on him.

Lets keep throwing 0-2 fastballs right down the plate. AJP is really letting me down with his pitch calling.

WHY ARE YOU BRINGING IN COTTS?!??!?!??!?!

95 low and away and the knees with sinking action for strike one.

94 running in fouled off for strike 2.

 

Then a dumb 0-2 pitch.

 

Jesus f***ing christ. Is this team filled with people who dont know what do to with and 0-2 count.

 

Now here comes the apendage obsessed manager who brings in Neal Cotts who has a hard time with lefties to face a lefty.

 

Here we go kids. Lets see how far Giambi hits it.

Cotts comes in.....and this ballgame is over.

It'd be so nice if Neal could find his Marbles. But based on recent events...I think this ball flies 420 feet.

Giambi is drooling over the thought of a one-pitch pitcher....

 

Let's hope he chokes on his drool and dies.

Seriously, we're making 0-2 situations for the opposition seem like 2-0 counts. MacDougal's fastball was about 3 mph slower today also....it's an epidemic.

Here comes a bases clearing double and then a strike out. Cotts' ERA will remain low.

I'm seriously just turning it off, I can't watch them blow it.

We bring in a high fastball hitter in a situation where they need a flyball. I'm not exactly optimistic.

I, as well, feel strangely confident in MacD.

 

MacDougal has shown nothing to me since he's been here. I see a guy with a ton of stuff that has never pitched a game that mattered in the bigs. I can't trust that.

got a break. that throw was up the line.

 

and here comes Neal Cotts boys and girls. Self flagellation to begin in t-minus 90 seconds...

Here comes a bases clearing double and then a strike out. Cotts' ERA will remain low.

Only one out....

Only one out....

Even worse.
