You guys are crazy if you think the Rays' rotation is better. That is all.

162. I love how every person is compared to another person of his race. I honestly can't remember the last time someone compared a player to a player of a different race.

It's not, when both are healthy. But there's a few teams that it is better than, which makes a nice change. Last year we opened with Kazmir, Hendrickson, Fossum, Waechter and McClung. Yay!

Pettitte finally gets a 1-2-3 but has thrown 76 pitches. They say he's only going to do about 80 all game. So that may be it for him.

Jae Seo tried to pull a matrix move to get matsui out but failed.

But isn't the back of the rotation Edwin Jackson and Casey Fossum? That could be a combined 6 ERA if they aren't careful.

It is better than a few teams like the White Sox and Royals. Maybe the Rangers. The Nationals definitely. Also the Rockies and probably the Pirates.

Kazmir > Pavano, by miles and miles

Pettite > Seo, by a somewhat healthy margin

Mussina > Shields, ever so slightly

Igawa = Fossum

Jackson > Rasner, who the #### is Rasner?

It DOES look like Ichiro's, with the fallaway to first and that. But why do people think this needs pointing out all the time? It's like every Bulls road game, or nationally televised game - they insist on showing that graphic showing that Ben Wallace is the worst free throw shooter ever. Yeah. We sorta know that.

Silly error on the first play, weirdly credited to Wigginton. Posada hits a not-that-bad-although-it-missed pitch, then Mientkiewicz flukes a pop up that Dukes again misreads. Yankees tie it.

Dukes needs to get himself dirty and make a dive.

ANOTHER falls just in front of Dukes. Dammit. Yankees lead 3-2, 1st and 3rd with 1 out.

That was bloody out, dammit. Oh well.

Jeter thrown out stealing. Inning over 4-2 Yankees.

Bullpen soon to be given the opportunity to implode.

Josh Paul has an awesome arm. He just doesn't hit that well, with the exception of the first half of last year.

Return to Tampa Bay Rays
