If you guys could fast-forward to about 8:30 tonight and have the O's up 1 going to the bottom of the 9th with JJ taking the mound...do you do it? Behind door number 2 could be a 5 run lead or a 5 run deficit!

I'd take it but be worried given he's been up and down and today he'd be due for another down!

Sign me up. He's already closed two 1-run leads in this series, and even in the one he blew we still had the opportunity to score again and win. Door number two sounds like 50/50 odds. I like this option better.

I'd be nervous as hell lol. If he pitches tonight, that's what 5 of the last 6 days he will have pitched. That's alot of use. Plus going 2 innings in Game 4.

I like moving Manny up and getting Thome out of the lineup.

Anyone would take door #1 even if they didn't have a good closer. Nothing tops a 9th inning lead.

Yep. Offer me a lead in the 9th and I'll take it.

Dude I am watching the clock and it won't move.

The goods news I talked to my boss's boss this morning and told him I was leaving early to watch the O's game. I was nervous waiting for his response and he said, "Me too!"

The Yankee lineup looks potent tonight. I hope the O's are ready for this.
