John Farrell has a habit of letting "his guy go the distance" and it came in to play last night. Pmeranz was at 120 pitches in the fifth inning and Farrell wanted to leave him in to finish the fifth. I know he did it for two reasons. One, to give Pomeranz a shot at being the game winner and Two, to save his bullpen.
Fortunately Pomeranz was able to get out of what was becoming a nasty situation. The Yankees had two men on base with two outs and Pomeranz was falling apart. The fortunate part came into play when the batter decided to swing at the crappiest pitch ever thrown and strike out.
He got lucky.

Today was Lunch with the Bills. We met at 99's in West Springfield and caught up with everything that's been going on.
One of the Bills is already retired and the other will be retiring in October/November. Other than the fact we are all getting old and feeling our age, all is well with everyone.

I'm kind of hoping that the Red Sox win again tonight. That would put them in a tie for first place with the Yankees. You can bet I'll be yelling at Farrell if he doesn't handle his pitching staff the way I think it should be handled.
While I do that, you can visit these links:
