We seem to have a problem with brooms being left in the closet, but at least we're back to winning series. 8/3- O. P?rez vs. Chien-Ming Wang - 7PM 8/4-K. Davies vs. P. Hughes - 1PM 8/5-G. Meche vs. M. Mussina - 1PM
i think we win 2 outta 3.. another series win.. for some reason the yanks can never get the sweep.. but i hope minn. gives the indians a run for their money this weekend.. cant wait for next weekends series tho..
Another hot game Saturday but I bet Hughes lasts more then 1+ innings. Shouldn't be quite as hot Sunday.
Some more Chamberlain news. http://www.journalstar.com/articles/2007/08/03/huskerextra/baseball/doc46b2aac848e77556660471.txt http://www.newsday.com/sports/baseball/yankees/ny-spjim0801,0,3089610.column
I haven't been this excited about a Yankeee game in a long while. 95% of that is because of Phil. (The other 5% is knowing that it's not Igawa.)
Heh, in this case, I'm giving 110%. (Igawa takes up at least 10% on my "thank goodness it's not him"-ometer.)
I guess Henn goes down to make a spot for Hughes. Still not sure how they make room for Giambi and Chamberlain. Probably Bruney (if he even has any options left) and Duncan. I hope they aren't keeping those guys in the minors because they can't figure out how to bring them up. I heard some lame excuse yesterday that they would bring up Giambi Tuesday because Monday is a day game in Toronto. WTH does that matter to a DH anyway?
I still don't think its right sending Duncan down for Giambi...besides the fact that Duncan's bat has been more useful compare to Giambi's this year, and he's better on the bases - Duncan can play a defensive position and be less of a liability than Giambi is.
I don't either and that would give Torre a lethal rightie/leftie platoon at DH with both of them but I don't know what else they can do. Actually, Duncan can't play any position. Giambi is actually a better fielder. If you look at the Yankee roster Duncan is listed as only a DH.
