colon could be the diff between winning the title and not
lets face it
anything short of the world series is a let down for us based on what we opened the season with.
lester needs a rest,dice could use a rest as well
the pen should be rested for the most part but the starters,many who are hitting career highs in ip,could definetly use the rest for the october run and lets face it,i feel better in october with colon getting the ball than wakefield..wakefield is usefull in the warm months but once the air thins out and the cool evenings come he is shaky,plus the angels run like crazy and a knuckleball pitcher is easy to steal on.
Anyone else think the halo's peaked when they slapped the shit out us and ny in consecutive series a few weeks back?
i do
heres the deal
if we get a healthy and dedicated beckett we can handle anyone in 5 and if we get good efforts from lester and dice we can handle anyone period.
Now can Colon pitch in October?
I thought he had to be on the MLB roster on 8/31 to qualify.
