Where did I say dominant? I'll re-read my post several times in your honor... huh as it turns out I never said domiant. I said Innings, which is what he does best... he gives the team (gasp) innings
Ok but we have more than 2 starters that can give good innings. Wakefield has averaged 6.5 innings while a guy named Matsuzaka had 2 starts with 7 innings apiece
Sorry forgot which thread Im in, the Yankees rotation will settle down and cruise all the way to October!
So they will be fine even if the starting pitchers consistently cant get late into the game? Just cuz he's equaling up the large ammount of bullpen work, doesnt mean the bullpen will be spring chickens once October rolls around
The Blue Jays offense will need to be "05 Red Sox" if they wish to contend. The starting staff is really currently Halladay & Co. Burnett has gotten hit hard in his last 2 starts so thats not helping him any. BJ has blown 2 early saves (now heads to the DL) and their bullpen has already been hit with the loss of Justin Speier to the Angels. The past 2 years the Blue Jays have been the thorn in our ass, maybe 2007 will be a better year vs Toronto

Has Tito gotten the hint? Wily Mo was supposed to start today's game in place of Coco Crisp. he's still scheduled to play tomorrow if they get the game going and will also start Tuesday when Gustavo Chacin starts
The starting rotation thru the first 10 games has just been sick. They right now singing the tune of a combined 2.66 ERA. Schilling has rebounded nicely from opening day with 2 great back to back starts
Paging Terry Francona.... Wily Mo Pena has had just 4 pinch hits through the first 10 games while Coco is 4 for 36. Ok we're talking sub .100 soon enough. So you do the math what should be done.
The offense since coming back (not including game vs Felix) has just been on fire outscoring by 32-4 in their last 3 wins. Safe to say Ortiz can only go up, so AL be afraid
Beckett vs Santana, a duel I like seeing but confident Beckett can improve his early season recortd to 3-0

Funny sportscenter clip featuring David Ortiz, a Yankee hat, Jorge Posada, and Wally the Green Monster
So Yankee offense, can you guys bounce back from... *cough* Ramon Ortiz? Sorry I had to, its just so surprising he held Arod & the Yanks down like that
Aaron Bates is a slugging 1st baseman with a lot of promise, I believe soxprospects.com likens him to a Justin Morneau type. No doubt I'll be tracking his progress up the minor system
