Bottom of the 5th, Yanks up 7-1

Just a thought as the Yankees are beating up on the Phils (knocked Pedro out in the 4th - why aren't their starters starting to warm up in the bullpen yet? This game is do-or-die for the Phils...), and I hate to pick on the current Philly pitcher, J. A. Happ, because he is quite adorable, but if your initials are J and A, and you want to be known as "Jay," then why not just use the J? No where in the English language does "J. A." spell "Jay." (Yes, J. A. Happ pronounces his name Jay Happ...) Does he not like the way J. Happ looks? Cuz I think it looks kinda snazzy. But no, first of all, when you insist on pronouncing "J. A." as Jay, nobody will ever pronounce your name right - not announcers in other ballparks, not fans of other teams at home, not the morons commenting on the game on tv. "J. A." can be pronounced Ja. Stupid. Or Ya if you're German (yes). Or Ha if you're Spanish. Which might be the most appropriate, cuz it is kinda funny...

I love that the Yanks are winning, especially behind Pettitte, but I kinda wish the Phils would put up a fight...
