Gardner needs to be a bit more aggressive swinging the bat. He’s not going to get the benefit of the call on close pitches with Halladay and he doesn’t issue many free passes either.

That was such a nasty put-away pitch by joba!

another crazy slider! that pitch is on tonight!

any lineup with matt stairs in the 4 hole is hurting…...if it weren’t for Halladay, I would say this game should be a near forgone conclusion

.....I would think (hope) that it was more Halladay’s stuff than inability by the Yanks. WIth that strikeout pitch of Jorge, it looks grim for us

Joba better be lights out tonight because there’s no way this offense is going to do much against Halladay.

He dominates them they’re red hot, so it looks rather bleak.

...for another patented complete game loss for Halladay!

First half MVP?

Wang – lights out for most of the first half, but has been injured
Arod – was out for a significant amount of time
Jeter – having a very un-jeter like year so far
Giambi – had an atrocious April

I’d probably have to say Johnny Damon or Mariano Rivera

....that the Yankees should go after Ben Sheets in the offseason? Sabathia just worries me with his weight.

Abreu was a 20/20 for 5 years and a 30/30 guy for 2. Either his speed has declined or he just can’t read pitchers that well any more. He can still leg out an infield single, so he must not be concentrating on that part of his game any longer.

He’s definitely still the catalyst of this offense

gold glove my ass like Michael Kay seems to think…....he could have used some help from the outfield, but he’s just so lazy in the field

...to Cano. I just plain don’t like Cano. Never have and probably never will be enamored with him.

Really getting tired of getting 5-7 games over .500 but then losing goddamn games we shouldn’t lose to like the Pirates and now tonight if we don’t pull something off…..

...losing tonight. This is ROY HALLADAY after all and when he’s on top of his game, like tonight, you just have to tip your cap to an amazing pitcher with dominating stuff. Making Paul Maholm last night look like a pitching superstar however is inexcusable.

Beckett’s postseason track record might put him over Halladay, but he’s definitely better than those others, especially the overrated Peavy. Peavy is a dream fantasy pitcher (he’s on my team!), but I can’t remember him NOT choking in a big game. The World Baseball Classic, those 2 postseasons, and the playoff game against Colorado last year.

...less than two and a half hours long. The 1940’s called. They want their games back!

“He’s Melky with speed.”

I’d take Gardner over Melky. But I don’t think both should be starting in the same outfield. They don’t have a choice now with the injuries.

....where was this earlier tonight?

and Mr Abreau is becoming the next Mr Baylor, getting hit by a pitch for many at bats.I don’t really like Yankees, but I like the Maple Leafs less, especially funny hats.Mets shoud trade somebody for Hallady…..soon !!!!!
