Food for thought straylightrise – thanks.

4.5 games back isn’t a time to panic. I’d rather see mistakes made by Kennedy and Joba now – rather than later. You can’t teach big league failure in AAA. You just can’t. You have to make your mistakes in the big leagues or you’re never going to learn how to adjust and bounce back.

But I’d love to see Kennedy come back and have a little fire in his belly from his AAA probation time. I am worried about his stuff only being AAA good and not MLB good. Worst case is you swap Joba and Kennedy and pray.

Steve, you should have the AL East Standings somewhere on your sidebar along with a Giambi counter (how long he has been on the team since he contributed directly to a win, or something like that)

Joba threw more curves tonight than usual, but if the offense would exploit their opportunities, the pitchers’ margin for error would be increased.

This one hurt.

Can Joba just throw off of his fastball and mix in his freakin’ slider instead of the opposite.

Jeez!
