Good old fashion pitchers duel going on in Toronto

[billhill999]

I'm on the under 9 here, as Burnett usually owns the Yankees, and after 6, he's doing just that, yielding four hits, and striking out 11.
However, Rasner is matching Burnett pitch for pitch and actually outdueling him, giving up 2 hits and retiring the last nine Jays in a row.

I live for pitchers games like this.

1-0 NYY going to the seventh.

very pleasant surprised to see Rasner throwing such a good game. well not that nice cause i'm on the jays, but good being a yankee fan

rasner 68 pitches through 6?

sounds like toronto is just swinging away, probably at garbage as they so often do.

Rasner is razor sharp, aggressive, and thinking like a Mike Mussina.
I have been waiting for him to show up like this all season.

Lind just tied it up with a solo shot to right.
Not a moon shot by any means, but a tater is a tater.
Damn

well you've mistaken rasner for someone else. the dude pitched great - way above his head in the first half of the season and has been garbage in the 2nd half. toronto can make a bad pitcher look good.

1-1!

Go Jays. :toast:

He was not this sharp in May when he was winning.

For the 3rd time in 3 weeks I bet a team 1st 5 when I meant game. 2 of the times it was the difference between winning and losing.

The Yanks tonight & the Whitesox in Oak this past Friday. WTF?

I wasn't even drinking tonight.

 

[billhill999]

I wasn't even drinking tonight.

I am.

lol

 

[artiesliver]

F'cking Johnny Damon. Perhaps he needs glasses or laser eye surgery b/c he botched two fly balls tonight. Unf'ckingbelievable.

 

[Vancouverfan]

Rasner looked sharp tonight and was hitting all his spots, can't blame that one on the Jays crappy offence.

 

[artiesliver]

That was Rasner's best outing all year and the Yanks screwed him.
