When you consider that the Yankees have fed him so much better, why should he not?

A beautiful morning and afternoon has turned towards an iffy evening. Over the night and through tomorrow there's a 50% chance of rain in The Bronx. So, what happens if CC and Verlander both pitch a few innings, then sit through a 2-hour delay? Can either restart, or will it go to the long-relief? Might be interesting to watch for this.

Also, I think it's funny you tout the Yank's experience yet their #2 starter is a rookie. Outisde of CC (who is facing the AL Cy Young & Triple Crown winner), I don't think your other starters are going to be creating too many post-season save opportunities for Mo. Then again, it's just my

P.S. I hope you know I have a huge smile on my face while writing this. It's all in good fun. I mean no disrespect, just a little friendly trash talking in prep for this playoff series.
Should be a good series. Verlander is about the only pitcher better than CC in the AL I think, both Fister and Nova finished strong, who knows about the rest. Garcia has been up and down. I do think the Yankees have a better offense and a much better bull pen personally, so i'm thinking the Yanks make handy work of the Tigers pretty quickly.

I have no problem with that . . . as long as my guys ahead of them in RBIs and HRs continue to hold the edge that shows up on the scoreboard.

Verlander throws 120-130 pitches on a regular basis, and I think with his delivery style, he can come back after a long delay.

My concern if I was Girardi would be keeping CC away from the pizza in the clubhouse during the rain.

Hey, if David Wells could successfully channel his inner Babe, why can't CC too?

Kind of like John Daly drinking Shirley Temples?

Ok, maybe my analogies are a little exaggerated.

As I foresaw, The Baseball Gods have already started having their fun, throwing a wet blanket over everybody's pitching strategy. This game is weird, which is much of the giggles.

It's been cloudy all day, but only a few drops scattered here and there. It will get a bit raw in late innings.

I don't care if he pitches in a teddy and waders, as long as he throws a shoutout. Yet I think you'll only see him in the dugout tonight.

Tigers say Verlander is pitching Monday. Haven't heard if CC will as well.

CC is pitching Monday also. Yankees moved AJ out of the bullpen and into game 4 and Nova will pitch game 5.
