DH Brandon Sing (batting 5th) is 0/3 (with a BB, a K, popout to SS and a flyout to RF). David Aardsma got roughed up again: 3 IP, 3 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 1 K. MiLB.com actually has MLB.com Gamecasts for some of their AZL games including the one tonight.
RHP John Lackey and RHP Shawn Chacon (w/ Yankees: 7-3, 2.85 ERA; Overall: 8-10, 3.44 ERA) square off for game 4 in the Bronx. The Angels currently lead the series 2-1. There's a 90% chance of heavy rain.
I expected him to decline, but such a massive decline surprised me. I expect the Angels to replace him this offseason with Giles. Giles should go to the Cubs or the Cards. He should, but I don't expect that. Shields better hold this lead...
No, our first rounder is protected. what rule makes it protected? :? that puts a fuzzy feeling in my heart though. :D The top 15 picks are protected from being lost to FA compensation. Thanks. So if we acquire a type A FA, then the team we deal with only gets the sandwich pick? :) They might get our 2nd or 3rd rounder too. Those aren't protected.
I don't think they have the offense to make it to the Series. And Cabrerra, why didn't you try throwing the ball to freaking Yonkers? Sheesh. Finally, Donnelly is out. 5-5, Cano at third with none out.
I am thoroughly annoyed by Byrd's inability to put a batter away after getting 2 strikes. Brendan Donnelly coming in, Yanks down 5-3 and the go-ahead run is coming to the plate.
