I'll take it every time out until the dog days come around when the bats slow a little and the arms start to take over.

If that's the case, wouldn't the Red Sox, who have the better rotation, be in just as good shape, if not better than the Yankees?

Our major issue has been the average starters IP of 4.7 prior to last nights game. That is not sustainable.

Kinda like Friday night?
