Pitching Probables
Friday - Phil Hughes vs. Fausto Carmona
Really looking forward to this one. Dr. Phil Good has all our expectations quite high and Carmona is a young star on the rise.
Saturday - Mike Mussina vs. Paul Byrd
The kids on Friday, the old farts on Saturday
Sunday - Andy Pettitte vs. Jake Westbrook
The Yankees need Pettitte to keep going smoothly.
A little bit more on the recently completed Blue Jays series. Brian Butterfield complained about take out slides at 2nd Base from Johnny Damon (Monday) and Shelley Duncan (Tuesday). Considering the Blue Jays threw at A-Rod on Monday, and again on Tuesday, you've got no room to say word one.
And how about Josh Towers. What has this little sh*t done in the majors to mouth off about Tony Pena. Pena was one of the best, grittiest catchers in baseball. We don't know his reasoning for leaving KC as manager, but Towers should be eating a fastball sandwich for his remarks.
"I heard somebody chirping when I was talking to Lyle (Overbay) and I didn't think it was Alex and I asked who it was," said Towers. "And Tony Pena is running his mouth and I was like, 'What's this guy running his mouth for? This dude is a quitter, he managed a team and quit in the middle of the season because he couldn't hack it. He's going to run his mouth to me?' So I ended up getting into it with Alex a second time."
Some credit to the Jays' Alex Rios. He took a Roger Clemens fastball between the shoulder blades, and though pissed, went right to 1st Base. Perhaps he realized his pitched screwed up.
Joba Chamberlain had a successful debut Tuesday night. His fastball was consistently clocked at 96 mph and he had a nasty slider that he struck 2 hiters out with. The biggest surprise was seeing him shake off Jorge Posada several times. It was also nice to see the game ending double play. He doesn't just have to blow hitters away...not that there is anything wrong with that.
