Bleep that effort

Aikman and Bradshaw?

Please. They are in the same league as Trent Dilfer and Jim McMahon as QBs who were taken to the SB by great Defenses and great Running Games.

You mean beep that effort

i know he made it through his last couple innings

but really, cant we throw out someone better in a 2 run game?

oh well, whatever. doesnt really matter.

The current bullpen

Guardado
Benoit
Wright
Rupe
Madrigal
Nippert
Francisco

You could put Francisco in, but I suspect he’ll pitch the 9th.

Madrigal isn’t available.

I don’t think you’d want to use any of the rest.

Yep, safe.

Have some faith?

No use in giving up so early. We can give up if we don’t score anything before the 9th.

Good god

Do we like making plays closer than they need to be?

hopefully a-rod can find a way not to score the runner

that would be amusing.

Looks like he’s improved (like the entire pitching staff has) since Andy Hawkins took over. Nice to have him back.

So why in the hell

is Wright looking at 2B when Jeter was going to 3B?

We got of it so it’s okay but jeeeeeeez. This team is not ready to play tonight.

Speaking of momentum killers, since the CJ incident, the team has been pretty meh and mistake ridden. Did it have something to do with these last 2 team performances? No… but an interesting coincidence.
