What I want to know is who starts if this goes to game 5.  Does Buck go back to Hammel, who had a very good game in game 1 against the Yankees?  Or Saunders, who did so well in the Wildcard Game?  Kind of a tough call.

Hammel, no question, as far as I'm concerned. It'll be his regular rest and he pitched really well in a 2-1 loss at Yankee Stadium early in the season.

And it's hard not to complain about the umps when they keep making bad calls. McLouth's foot came off the bag by an inch. Technically the right call, but there's zero way the ump saw it from the 1B side of the bag, with Jeter in the way. You never see that call made. That was purely a call for the Captain.

Someone needs to tell Jones he's not the second baseman

Why?  Is he injured again?

I don't want to see JJ tonight.  Got a bad feeling about him.  Leave O'Day in for the 9th, he's pitching at a ridiculous level the last few weeks.

JJ looked great on Monday, against two of these three hitters. So we'll see...one out at a time.

Spoke too soon. All Ibanez can hit are fastballs down the middle and that's all everyone throws him. I don't get it.

How's your crow taste?

JJ can't handle the postseason pressure.  Period.

Kind of makes you wonder why Joe let ARod hit on Monday

I think he had about 29 million reasons why.

This Yankee crowd makes me wanna puke. No energy all night, and now they whoop it up.

Something has to give tonight. 16 straight extra inning victories, vs. the team that handed them their only 2 extra inning losses.

Matusz or Strop?

Probably Matusz, Hunter, and Ayala before Strop.  Just guessing.

I feel an Adam Jones homer coming on.  And then hand the ball to Matusz or Ayala to close it out.
