MLB 2011 season

^ Now you can go to the Dream Theater show.........

Shame Nova couldn't finish the game. I mean he was great, but just would've cool to seal the whole deal.
Bigger shame they had to call in Mo just to get one out!

That would be a Yankees win though

CC says he feels fine to play tomorrow, but Girardi is going with Garcia as planned. Man, I'd be tempted to use CC...if he was to have a good game and the Yanks went up 2-0 then used Garcia...damn that'd be a great series.

I do believe Phils/Brewers are the expected match up.

Nova went 16-4 for his rookie season (including 12-0 over his final 16) a bit wild at times...but also lights out just as much.
Went from "OK let's see what he's got" to a rock solid #2.

Also glad to see Cano has blossomed into the Yankee MVP we hoped for.

For what it's worth I didn't think your pitcher was too bad really, but that's what the Yanks do...capitalize on mistakes. They always have these mega single innings, it's honestly why I get worried because they can be inconsistent overall.

But I feel more confident in our 3 man rotation, the bullpen is one of the better ones, Mo is Mo and the offense still seems on track.

Yeah, for Arizona to have a chance I think they really needed to win Kennedy's starts.

I'll certainly feel better if we can win tonight.  Hoping Carpenter might be vulnerable on short rest.

Yankees don't need to mess with rushing their star pitcher. They have the 1-0 lead and are clearly the better team.

Naw I know, was just saying I'd be tempted but yeah...we already are on a 3 day rotation no need to mess with CC even more.

I really don't think I'm being a homer...but agreed, the Yanks are the best team in the AL.
Anything can happen of course.

Problem is, if we have a Yankees/Phillies rematch unlike last time where I felt we had a definite upper hand...we don't match up as well this time.
At least we havn't needed to face Halladay on a regular basis this year

There you go Tigers. Just got two win 2 at home now with your ace going for the first game.

That was a tough one, watching that lead evaporate.

I have as much fear as you do, probably more.
