The Week Ahead

The sloppy series in Chicago is just what the Doctor ordered.

My theory - Yanks were too hot, bound to cool off, they do it now, warm up against the Jays, and then be ready for the 4-gamer with the Sox (which by the way, we've got Sabathia, Burnett, and Joba tee'd up for the first three games with them) - The BoSox, who are surging now, will be petered out by Thursday - simply put - we've got them right where we want them. My prediction - we'll take 3 out of 4.


On the #5 starter thing - willing to give Mitre another go. Igawa has earned a shot should Sergio crap the bed - however, Igawa is not a 40-man roster player which decreases the chances he'll get called up. Michael Dunn, (not the boxer that beat the hell out of Tommy Morison) is though, and he may get the nod over Crash's boy Kei. . . .

. . Where is Jeff Karstens when you need him???
