Then Beam should stay in, or you bring in Chacon there and cross your fingers. No way Proctor should be used under any circumstance.
That I agree with. Still, I think that Torre brought in Proctor in a vain attempt to save the game and it backfired. It was a bad move but not on the level that you guys are flipping out about it.
Wow. When Tex had the lead and had bases loaded,i never thought we'd pull this one off. Way to keep fighting!
This game really supports the argument against bringing in another position player instead of a pitcher.
What an incredible game...and Im officially taking back the "you cant expect Melky Cabrera to continue to do what he has done" comments I have made in the past. If Im the Yanks...just sit tight and let the chips fall where they may...this kid has got some set of balls on him for a 21 year old...after failing so miserably last year. SIDE NOTE: Is it me...or is anyone else really liking Larry Bowa coaching 3rd base and being part of the Yanks this year...what a little piece of dynamite he is...good addition to a conservative team.
I've been saying all along Melky is super-talented. And yes, he has balls of steel. He didn't really fail miserably last year. He just had that horrible game at Fenway, and it hurt his confidence. He'll be just fine. He should be going nowhere. I can't stand Larry Bowa.
Cairo was 0-3 and Proctor was terrible, so if anything, it helps the argument that Proctor for Betemit is an absolute, no question about it steal for the Yankees.
