Baby, He's Back
OAKLAND, Calif.(AP) Brett Tomko felt he never got the chance to show the New York Yankees what kind of pitcher he was before he was let go last month.
He got his opportunity in his first game back in the majors with the Oakland Athletics .
Tomko pitched five scoreless innings to beat the Yankees less than a month after his release, winning his debut with the A's, 3-0 on Monday night.
''I wasn't mad about it but I really wished I would have had the opportunity to show what I could do,'' Tomko said. ''I realize the situation. It's about winning there. They had horses that were doing well. I understood that. That's why I didn't have bad feelings. I just feel like I didn't really ever get the chance to show what I could do.''
Too late for this year, but the 2010 A.L. Cy Young seems inevitable. JDLR has the N.L. CY wrapped up this year, no?

how did we ever let him slip away?
