I suppose the difference is that you can use a new starter in the next game, as if it's a new game, rather than both teams using random middle relievers. I don't know what the rule should be, I'm just complaining because, well, it's just not cricket, is it? [12] Yeah, I know.

It's a disadvantage for the Yankees in that they lose the advantage they would have had. [10] Why? This way makes more sense to me. I mean, if there were a long delay on one evening and the starters had to come out, this is exactly what would happen. Why should the fact that they delay for a full day, rather than for a couple of hours, mean they scrap the whole game? [11] Oh, good point.

Verlander was supposed to go in game 5, Sabathia in 4 so that was an advantage for us. In the first four games we'd have our ace twice, they'd have theirs once. Now it's even.

It's really unfair to make a guy use a lineup he'd devised against one pitcher, against another pitcher. All the more so in a high-stakes game. There's no point in picking up where they left off if the pitchers won't be the same. What a crazy rule this all is.

And Hank, they are not scheduled to play five days in a row ending Wednesday; Wed. is a day off and they play Thursday. (That's why a couple of us were wondering why Joe didn't slot CC in on Sunday, and then he could be on short rest and pitch again Thursday.) It's all <a href="http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/schedule/ps.jsp" rel="nofollow">right here</a>. [6] Yeah, it’s definitely 8:37.

It’s all right here.

Plus, despite the YS home run, Sabathia looked sharp last night. One thing I saw that I loved was a bit of an interview with Nova. He was smiling, confident ... It made ME feel more confident about the game. Then he said it would be "fun". I dunno, it just came off really well. I don't understand why they changed the time of the game today. Wasn't game 2 supposed to be at 8:30? If Leyland is to believed and they really were only going to pitch Verlander once, then this puts the Yanks at a disadvantage.

But man..seen him go over 130+ pitches several times and you KNOW that is the norm. I'm going to miss tomorrow morning's game too, dammit! Hope I can get through the day and back home without hearing the score.. [3] He’s super cool, and would be a huge star in NYC.

Why do Tampa Bay hurlers come up and just start winning, while highly touted Yankee prospects have "rules" and go to the bullpen, and get sent up an down like yo-yos until they are so confused they don't know how to pitch anymore? Let's hope they let Nova pitch from now on.... [2] I don’t care, I want Darvish in a Yankee uniform. He is cooler than cool.

Funny, if this were the Japan Series the same two pitchers would go out there the next day..and throw 140+ pitches. I'm telling you, beware of Yu Darvish, incredible twirler who already has a lot of mileage.. I'm going to get the Tampa-Texas game on now in the background, looks like Matty Moore is ready for the big time.. [1] I hear you, preach it!
