Some people have questioned Joe's decision to let A.J. Burnett to pitch to Molina as well to start Hughes in game 2 instead of game 3.

Joe could have another use for the binder but I won't go there.

This puts the Yankees in a precarious position in having to win all three and having to beat Cliff Lee in game 7 if it goes that far.


Sorry I cannot write what my husband, sons and grandsons think of Gerardi's managing this series. In my opinion, less by the book and more Billyball!
As a long time Yankee fan of almost 50 years, I have to admit, it will a very difficult thing to win three games especially now that Mark Texiera is out for the season with a hamstring injury.

What does other Yankee fans think of Joe Giradi's decisions?

Off my soapbox.

Oh well. Football season is here and the sun will come up tomorrow.
