    really? The only thing I can think of is that he said in a recent article written by a close friend that the Rays lineup can stack up with the Yankees. I hardly see a problem with that. But since I have a 7 1/2 point lead today, I can excuse one bad start from him.

    I didn't see that, I just have always not really liked him, then Saturday very early in the game he was celebrating after one of the home runs like it was the 8th inning of Game 7 of the ALCS.

    To his point about the lineups though. I am not really scared of the Rays lineup. Sure they have some players that can put up some solid numbers and come up with a big hit but besides Crawford and Longoria their lineup is not all that great. Pena batting around .200, Upton around .230, etc.

    eh, not a big deal with the celebrating on either end. I could care less if Price celebrates and I barely cared when Joba Chamberlain pumps his fist.

    Yeah, I don't know why it bugged me. Joba never bothered me so it does not make much sense. Can't I just dislike the best pitcher on the Yanks biggest competition? Even if it is irrational.

    definitely, I'm biased in favor of him because I have him in a money league. My preference would be every time the Yankees face him that he pitches seven innings, strikes out 10, get a no-decision and the Yanks win 3-2 or 2-1.

    Yeah, that would be nice for you but from a strictly fan perspective here on out, I would love to see him with an ERA of 17.5

    Basically posted this in the Phillies theard but figured I would move this over here. What happens at the deadline? I am all in favor of the Yanks making a run at Ted Lilly. Have him fill in for Pettitte for the time being, let Hughes approach his innings limit then move him to the bullpen. Kills two birds with one stone.

    Brett Myers is another option but I would prefer not to have a complete scumbag on the roster.

    Maybe next year since I'm not in a keeper league.

    I mean, don't trade him, but they have to figure out something with him.

    He has to figure out how to locate consistently and he has like 3 days to figure it out. Not going to be a pretty scene in the Bronx if he can't get it together.

    And can we talk about Arod about to hit number 600? This is getting no play.

    Why does this O'Sullivan character make me nervous? the Yanks should slap him around considering he has a whole 58 innings in the big leagues, but the Yanks seem to fall asleep against these guys. Let's go Yanks! Keep it up.
