except, and I still cannot for the LIFE of me figure out why Julian FUCKING Tavarez is in the rotation.... are they plugging it till Lester comes back? It boggles my mind, I, myself would give Pinero the 5th spot, then again, I've hated Wakefield since I was in the 4th grade, so the 4 and 5 spots look disastrous to me...

and if Lester can't be the same, then, they better win ALL of Curt's, Beckett and Dice K's starts....

i'm optimistic...lol

Oh yeah, Yanks are winning without Mike Mussina, Chien Ming Wang, and Carl my pu$$y hurts Pavano. So yeah... when you have Darrell Rasner, Chase Wright, and Jeff Karstens in their places then the pitching staff won't look too appetizing. Bring those guys back along with signing Clemens (which will happen) then the Yanks pitching staff will become marginal. With that offense, that's all their gonna need. Plus, bring up Phil Hughes in July!

Beckett has started off well but I think he sucks. He started off well last year too and ended up giving up the most homers in baseball. He always has great stuff but relies on his fastball wayyyy too much. And that fastball is very straight. He should mix in his very good offspeed stuff more.

Dice K is very good but he should be...they spent 100 million on the guy. What expectations for that money would you expect?

not really, I'll always like Beckett, ever since he was a hot prospect for the Fish... always liked his stuff...

and actually, if he starts giving up 4 runs a game, I WON'T pounce on him like others will, because its JOSH fucking BECKETT... guy is great... i've never talked shit about him and never will...

Wow, Red Sox equaled the Dodgers' feat from last year, of 4 home runs in a row
Doing it against the Yanks to boot too

But I guess the Dodgers have an edge in that they did it while trailing by 4 in the 9th inning, to tie the game (and eventually win it), and 2 of the homers were off one of the best closers (and not a AA pitcher like Chase Wright)

Interesting that JD Drew was involved in both of them

Dice K didn't look too zesty tonight. Yanks need better than a AA guy starting. Wang is back Tuesday which is nice. Moose back the next week. Pavano can rest at home on his sofa cleaning his vagina. I think Dice K will be good just not overpowering ace good. There is 10 other pitchers I'd rather have in the league for sure. Maybe more.

Cole Hamels with 15 K's. Matt Cain shutting peeps down. Rich Hill. Lots of rising young guys... really cool to watch.

Yanks v. Red Sux is the biggest rivalry in sports in my opinion. Maybe Duke v. North Carolina or Michigan vs. Ohio St. But I don't see any other pro rivalry at the moment that compares. Sorry... it gets the attention for a reason. Biggest rating in playoff history is the red sux/yankees series.
