im not sure i want edwar in there. i wish the yanks had a better lefty specialist right about now for Sizemore and Hafner who seem to K against any good sidearm lefty.

Well, Shelly was recently quoted as saying that he never just dreamed of playing in the majors, he dreamed of playing in the World Series. Maybe playing him in the playoffs will be the road to making his dreams come true!

12 pitchers in a short series is completely unnecessary, especailly with two built in of days.

How come no one is suggesting Duncan at first base?

How could I forget about Edwar. Guess the excitement has gotten to my head already lol. Ramirez for Veras then.

CC is a very tough lefty, put Duncan in the lineup and let Matsui focus on Friday (or pinch-hit on Thursday). ThatÂ´s what IÂ´d do anyway.

Would I be far off if with this ALDS roster:
Starters (5): Wang, Pettitte, Clemens, Moose, Hughes (will likely be in bullpen);
Relievers (7): Villone, Veras, Ohlendorf, Farnsworth, Vizcaino, Chamberlain, Rivera;
Catchers (2): Posada, Molina;
Infielders (6): Mientkiewicz, Giambi, Cano, A-Rod, Jeter, Betemit;
Outfielders (5): Abreu, Cabrera, Damon, Matsui, Duncan.

I think the position players are pretty obvious. Just like a rotation of Wang, Pettitte, Clemens and Moose (with Hughes as spot-starter/long-relief). The bullpen has a few questionmarks in my opinion. Mo, Joba, Viz, Farnsworth, Villone are obvious choices. I hope Ohlendorf will be there too and the last spot would be VerasÂ´, I think. And Kennedy possibly for the ALCS.

Alright, I guess it could be worse. And the games will probably start half an hour or an hour after those times. But where are these coming from? I don’t think a baseball game has ever started at most of the times listed.
