Bleah. And there I was all happy that the Pirates rejigged their rotation so that Oliver Perez and Mark Redman faced the Yankees. So naturally, Dave “Generic Name” Williams comes in and pitches a decent game. Hardly a gem - 5 hits and 4 walks in 6 innings, but good enough.
What was Halama doing there down by 1 in the 9th? Not that it mattered in the end, 1-0 or 2-0 down, it’s still a loss, but Halama isn’t one of the better pitchers. Mike Myers, on the other hand, seems to have become an automatic LOOGY. Funny to think the Sox let him go for a few months in the offseason.
