One down...one to go!!!

[Yankee 21]

Excellent game Rocket and the Boys....... I'm starting to lean toward calling Godzuki, Godzilla...he's starting to impress me!


Ok, Rookie, we're throwing you into the Lions Den.....Let's see what your made of!!!!!!!

[milky_way]

yeah, Godzilla has been really hot since Steinbrenner called him out in early June! :D :fro: Actually, he may be pulling ahead of Jason and Sori in terms of offensive MVP so far...:eek:



Back-to-back jacks to start off Game 2!! :clap2: :clap2:

[milky_way]

does anyone else think its possible that Juan Rivera could actually create more outs than he has at bats? :umm :angry:

Brandon Claussen pitches out of an early jam for a scoreless first inning, two hits, one K :)

[milky_way]

1-2-3 second inning for Claussen :cool:

[milky_way]

K's the side in the third to get out of a jam, runners left stranded on second and third after two hits and a double steal :fro:

[milky_way]

70 pitches through 4.0 innings :eek:

4-up, 3-down in the fourth :thumbsup:

[milky_way]

Correction: Claussen is at 64 pitches through 4.0 IP

Matsui is an RBI machine! :2guns: :clap2:

[milky_way]

Glavine's gone after 4.1 innings, Yanks tag him with 10 hits and 6 ER! :clap2: :thumbsup:

[milky_way]

Glavine now w/ 8 ER after an Enrique Wilson sac fly and a Brandon Claussen single :laughing

:gt:

[milky_way]

Another 1-2-3 inning :cool:. It's now an official game :D

[milky_way]

Shutout bid is gone :(, 9-1 Yanks heading into the seventh..

[milky_way]

Claussen is pulled after a Cedeno homerun in the seventh...

FINAL LINE: Claussen 6.1 IP, 8 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 5 K, 1 HR, 1.42 ERA

GOOD JOB BRANDON!!! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

[milky_way]

1-run game????

Eff this bullpen!!! :angry:

Eff you Hitchcock, you worthless piece of sh!t! :Pissed: :eviltongu

Eff you Torre, for taking out Giambi and not PHing Robin! :angry:

Eff you Gameday, for freezing on me THREE TIMES! :banghead

[milky_way]

Yanks pull out the 9-8 win...NEARLY blew Brandon's W :angry:

THANK GOD FOR MO!!!! :hail: :hail:


Just what we needed, an inspired Mets team to beat up on Weaver :angry: :barf: :banghead

[Yankee 21]

OK, i've seen enough... Keep the rookie and get rid of Nightmare!!!!

[milky_way]

I've heard Claussen's gonna be called back down. It was just a 'one-start thing.' I hope he gets called back up again in September..

And I certainly hope Jason Anderson gets called back up soon...

[Yankee 21]

I'm hoping Nightmare gets blown out in the first inning tomight and they decide to keep Claussen and finally trade the Nightmare boy:D

[milky_way]

Well he did get blown out in the first inning but he settled down after that for a solid outing :). Interesting decision for Torre & Co. now...

But how about Sori, Jete and Jason today? :clap2: :clap2:

I think Jason and Matsui are leading contenders for AL Player of the Month, both of them have been on FIRE! :D :cool:

Great job today by Hammond and Mo too :thumbsup:. Especially Mo, since he's worked a lot lately :)

Correction: Now it looks like Claussen will get another start before he's sent down. It'll be against Boston :eek:

I'm guessing they'll send him down when the 10 day limit for Anderson is up.

[Obri]

Big hand for Claussen:clap2: , i've seen enough to convince me that Weaver should be sent to AAA.
