I hear ya, though that is about how I feel when talking about the possibility of the all world japanese god pitching masterfully against the yankees, even with two guys out. I wasn't shocked by his outing and I don't take it as a sign that he won't be effective at another time or a tremendous MLB pitcher.

well, of all of your pitchers, Beckett is most equipped to dominate us. Pitchers that pitch backwards, as Dice K does, typically have trouble against us. You need a powerful fastball to get ahead in the count because we dont chase. Then have the ability to snap off the nice breaking ball late in counts to get the K. Pitchers who start with the breaking ball vs the yankees dont get the early swings and misses or little popup jobs like they do against the KC's and Seattles of the world. Of all of your pitchers, the one who pitched the best IMHO is Schilling. Ahead early in counts with the heat, put us away with the offspeed stuff. And if it isnt for ARod hitting a ball that was about 3 inches outside and at the knees over the wall in RCF, he goes 6-7IP while allowing 2ER.

i think that entire yankee bullpen needs a month in columbus

proctor mrs farnsworth cha cha vizcaiano and the venerable mo rivera all looked very very beatable on the field this weekend.
