Yankees VS. Blue Jays

Interesting pitching matchup for sure! Joba is 2-2 with a 2.45 ERA with only one win coming as a starter. Then you got Roy Halladay who we know has deflated numbers and inflated numbers, the wins being deflated and the losses being inflated at 10-6, one thing we all know is that an ERA is one statistic that doesnt lie and his is at 2.88. If you dont know about Joba's stuff, well then obviously you've been in a coma for the last 11 months. But Halladays stuff is down right FILTHY. I love the guy's pitching mechanics, kinda turny and i heard Singleton say it can lead to arm problems that he has had in the past but watching this guy's off speed pitches it looks like hes throwing a WHIFFLEBALL! If he doesnt get the Cy Young award and keeps these numbers up its sheer robery. He is on a terrible offensive team but still goes out there and does his job and doesnt let it affect his performance. As for the lineups, for a change we see HIP HIP Jorge! behind the dish, thank god toronto isnt a speedy team. As I was saying the lineup. *ahem*
1 Gardner- in left with his .138 avg.
2 Jeter- starting to get hot at the plate.
3 Abreu- Numbers have been the same , hovering around .275
4 Alex-
5 Giambi- cant consider it a snub that he didnt make the team, Longoria has SOME numbers
6 Posada- as i said, he cant cry now hes got a game to call
7 Cano- if you ever want to trade him like i know plenty do, now is the time, hes been hot
8 Betemit- playing first base, why we traded proctor for this guy is beside me
9 Melky- well im waiting for him to get hot.

In conclusion its really annoying to watch girardi baby the pitchers like moose the other day against the bosox, how do you have 6 ip. 89 pitches and like 4 hits and get taken out? sure we won but hes gotten lucky some of these playstation like desicions havent come back to bite him in the ... One question remains, will joba ever make it into the 8th inning?
