Comments on: Pettitte, IPK deal back in Tampa http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/03/30/pettitte-ipk-deal-back-in-tampa/ A New York Yankees blog by Chad Jennings and the staff of The Journal News Fri, 10 Feb 2012 14:12:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Nick in SF http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/03/30/pettitte-ipk-deal-back-in-tampa/comment-page-1/#comment-288460 Nick in SF Sun, 30 Mar 2008 21:12:29 +0000 http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/03/30/pettitte-ipk-deal-back-in-tampa/#comment-288460 Rebecca: let's just say optimistic, not delusionally so! At least until the Yanks lose a game, which will hopefully not happen until, what, May or June? Murphydog: If you like Londonistan, you might also like America Alone by Mark Steyn. It's very much the same theme, and the book tends to be pretty repetitive as well, but Steyn is a really funny writer. Both books are highly political and controversial so... not for all the Yankee LoHud crew. Rebecca: let’s just say optimistic, not delusionally so!

Off today, possibly postponement monday, off tuesday. most of the rotation would then be pitching on 7 days rest. That happened in 02, and it didn't bode well for them, it was a rough April for the pitchers. “They have a day off tuesday”

Exactly. Off today, possibly postponement monday, off tuesday. most of the rotation would then be pitching on 7 days rest. That happened in 02, and it didn’t bode well for them, it was a rough April for the pitchers.

They have a day off tuesday. It wouldn't mess with the rotation at all. If they don't play, Wang pitches Tuesday instead of Monday, and everything continues as usual. “well, i was thinking more along the lines of not messing with the rotation even more and having the players sit even longer after the off day from spring training, but whatever you want to think.”

Not a single analysts puts the Yanks winning the WS, and there are a LOT of predictions listed. Lots of Yanks > Sox in AL EAST, though. Very few have AROD winning MVP. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/preview08/news/story?page=08expertpicks Theyre better than the Yankees Suck predictions Pete posted, no offense Pete. You are just not high on the Yanks at all. Manny for MVP? Please. That's Gammons-esque. And he knows he's biased. ESPN’s predictions are pretty laughable.

The Igawa we see is as good as he'll ever get. CB -

It’s a colossal waste to have Igawa in the starting rotation at AAA and clogging up a roster spot for a more deserving talent.
