And please keep Dan Giese on this team. If he continues to pitch as well as he has in his two previous outings, this bullpen can definitely use him.

Joba's getting better. His control is still an issue but he will be ok.

I was in NY when Joba made his first start. He needs to continue being the setup man (word to Johnny Damon).
Remember when Mariano was setting up Wettland and was the next in line to close? Yeah, how did that work out for you guys?
Joba was the next in line. Until now. Lets see what happens, but so far Joba has been really unimpressive as a starter. (i know its early)

Naw, keep him as a starter. SP > RP..... (ESPECIALLY in the playoffs)
And he was better today & will continue to get better.... you have to remember he's making this transition during themiddle of the season, which makes it harder.

From a blog I go to....
Here are the statistics for Joba Chamberlain since he came out of the set-up role:
Games: 4
Innings: 12
Hits: 9
Runs: 5
Earned runs: 3
Walks: 9
Strikeouts: 16
ERA: 2.25
Pitches: 243
Strikes: 143
Opposing BA: .200
Now obviously he needs to cut down on the walks and throw more strikes. But that will come as he learns the virtues of pacing himself. AsMike Mussina said the other day, a starter simply can't try to strike everybody out.
Why would you not want this guy to be a starter?

Am I the only one following this game?
Mussina and Hochevar both pitched great games. Moose gave up a 2-run blast in the 7th but A-Rod answers right back with a 2-run A-bomb of his own.
2-2 now in the bottom of the 7th, 1 out

Michael K: "Mariano was very upset, you can see him pick up the rosen bag and think about slamming it back down on the ground, however, he remembered heis Mariano Rivera and placed it nicely back on the mound."
......then with men on second and third and 1 out, Kay wonders why they are walking a batter
to pitch to the next batter. Hmmmmm, it doesn't seem to make sense to him, but then after about 30 seconds he finally figures it out and says "well itdoes set up a double play".

He thought he could hit a grand-slam ground ball.
We would have been screwed if this went to extra innings since we would've had no one left on the bench besides Shelley Duncan.

Seriously. Bailed him out.
BACK to 500 once again, 32-32
Yankees can't sustain a nice streak for anything.

That blown call on Melky killed us too in the 8th...
would have been 1st/2nd with NO outs
He was CLEARLY safe

^^ Yeah, that was a load of bull excrement.
Onto Oakland, where this team will most certainly continue to hover around .500.
if we finish 80-82 or 81-81.
