I hope you're right. Anyone but BJ...or League

So of course we had both last night! BJ loads the bases, thankfully League has one of his ON days and cleaned up pretty quickly.

Another good road win against an NL team. Great game from Richmond last night and our offence/defence in general. By my estimates the bats are due to go quiet tonight though - poor Brad Mills!

Not last night.

Seriously though, isn't it about time Wang got sent down to AAA to work on his stuff? He's obviously not right.

His surgery has last year has wrecked him, rather give the young arms a go.

Didn't do any harm bringing Joba up, did it? We're certainly doing that right now. Current starting line-up, 4 rookies and a reliever! Between them they've got a grand total of 46 starts in the bigs.


On the returning from surgery front, we're having similar issues with BJ Ryan. This is his 2nd year back after surgery and he's still all over the place. I think he's well and truely fooked tbh. Unfortunately he's locked into a big money contract so we've not a hope in hell of offloading him.

Carl Pavano is a bit of a let down for us, he is going well at Cleveland.

Do you reckon there's extra pressure on Yankees pitchers because of the weight of expectation?

Definitely, playing in New York is hard, it's like being a Manchester United player i.e not everybody can adjust. Javier Vasquez was the same
