Yankees are going to be in big trouble unless they get their pitching sorted out fast.

In what way? It is not like they are going to be pitching Sergio Mitre in the postseason. They will be going with CC, Pettitte, Burnett in the division series, then add in Joba in the ALCS.

True!! Not saying he didn't instigate it.

So you think they go with the one day rest series, versus the 2 day rest series? Especially if they draw the Tigers and that's a good way to avoid seeing Verlander twice.

They are only going to Verlander once because they are going to sweep Detroit.

Actually barring a sweep they will see Verlander twice no matter which format they pick. The Yankees are also being smart with CC and not pushing his starts too deep down the stretch. The Brewers burnt him out last September and he was spent before postseason started.

That's a pretty bold statement...with Verlander, Jackson, and Porcello. I agree that they are doing the right thing with CC by not burning him out. Joba needs to stay in the bullpen to be effective...with him, Hughes and Rivera...tough 7,8,9 innings for any team.

I was mostly joking on the sweep thing. The Yankees primary bullpen is awesome without Joba, and if you add him in there for round 1 it is a scary sight for the other team.
