[quote=MaTH716]Aceves, has actually been good out there. Girardi probably has the most faith in him (obviously behind Mariano). Last night he left a lefty (Coke) in against a few righties because he had no faith that Veras could throw strikes with the bags full.
I don't think any team in the league would have sniffed Beckett. He's been lights out at times this season and Tuesday was one of those nights.
Wang put them in a early hole. They got themselves back in the game and came up a bit short.
They had the lead going into the 8th, what else do you want. Reguardless of whom is pitching for the other team, it's still major leaguers. So to automatically think that you are going to hang a 12 spot on the other team because it's the 5th starter or you percieve the guy to sucking is just an illusion. Look how well Tim Redding pitched for the Mets last night. On any given night a pitcher could be on. The Yanks just let it get away last night, plus the Sox proabably deserve so credit too.
Last and not least, I know they make the most, but when do other players become accountable? It can't always be on Tex and A-rod who gave them the lead last night.[/QUOTE]
they are all accoutable as far as i'm concerned when they can't hit Brad Penny , it just the way it is in NY , if you are going to take the big $$$ , the spotlight is going to fall on you , it ain't falling onto Brett gardiner ....fair or not , those are the rules when you sign the $20mm contracts - simply inexcusible last night to not hit that "pig" in the 1st 6 innings from batter 1-9!
