How many times has it been said? If somebody is going to beat you, make them beat your BEST. I know Rose keeps pointing out that Blanton is pretty good. Yeah well, so was Joe Saunders. The right move was to start Weaver who is a much better pitcher. I really don’t get this move. How many times has it been said? If somebody is going to beat you, make them beat your BEST.

I can't fathom Girardi would basically take an automatic loss by pitching Gaudin vs. Lee, but you never know. And yes, I know nobody can predict this game of baseball, but if anything ever looked like an automatic, its Gaudin vs. Lee...

Will they go with Lee? Everyone is billing a potential rain out as a Yankee advantage. Now I'm not so sure. Maybe somebody answered this aleady but what if Sunday is rained out?

Lee has pitched two incredible games. Big deal. So did CC in Anaheim.... Doesn't mean he won't get hit next time. In the Rockies second game against Lee, they scored 3 runs in 7 innings and Lee needed 117 pitches to get through 7. The Yankees can hit him. I don't believe in pitching Gaudin because you are admitting a loss. I believe you consider pitching him if you're up 3-1 and you want to maximize your chances in games 6-7. If Gaudin pitches game 5, and Burnett game 6 on full rest, then in game 7 you'd have BOTH Pettitte and Sabathia on full rest. Two lefties, in YS3. I like the odds of winning one of two at YS with three fully rested pitchers, and the Phillies not having Lee available to start either game. No…

I'll feel muuuuuuuuuuch better after the Yankees win game 3.
