Well, Hughes is nowhere near his innings limit due to injury.Bleeding Green wrote:Yeah, that would be nice, but apparently he's shut down.
Don't know why he can't make one start. I don't see the Yankees shutting down Phil Hughes. Well, not voluntarily at least.

Schilling would have his normal rest. Don't mess with success, having Schilling for game 3 (whether down 0-2, or split 1-1, or up 2-0) and game 6 will be huge. Wakefield is there as a super-long-reliever just in case.

They play a style of baseball that is conducive for winning a world series. I love their pitching, and I like the balance of their lineup.
Of course you don't think so, you're a Boston fan. As a neutral fan, I do think so.mr_sunshine wrote:-= original quote snipped =-
I don't think so. Sox pen > Indians pen and the Boston's offense has been on a tear lately. I think they'll be VERY hard to beat if Manny and Ortiz keep it up, and someone besides Beckett gives them quality starts.
Okajima, Delcarmen and Timlin are pretty damn good. I'd say the middle relief is pretty close as both teams are very good there with the Indians being a little better. The massive difference between Papelbon and Borowski gives Boston's pen the advantage. I'd say the Red Sox have a better lineup as well, especially with the way Ortiz and Ramirez are hitting in these playoffs (and how Ortiz is hitting about the last 50 games).David Robinson wrote:-= original quote snipped =-

And imo it's only Papelbon> Borowski. Otherwise, I like Cleveland's pen better with Perez, Lewis and Betancourt.
I would put Dice-K as game 3 because a) he pitches better away and b) the more rest for him the better

You've got a point.
But if it goes 6, then you have Dice K pitching it at home.
I'd rather have Dice K pitch game 2 at home.
