Anyway, back to the bigs,
RASNER IS NOT PITCHING TODAY AGAINST THE METS!!
Why? I do not know.
If he and and the coaching staff (aka Girardi and Eiland) are hiding an injury that would be one thing, but I don't think they are. Rasner was supposed to start yesterday if the game wasn't rained out, so why not start him today?
I was actually looking forward to a Rasner vs Santana showdown in the Bronx. But I guess that will have to wait.
Pettitte? PETTITTE? (Mike Mussina's been more consistant than Pettitte)
I don't agree with Girardi/Eiland's decision on this.
And it's not going to take a Yankees win for me to think it was a good move; it's going to take an OUTSTANDING performance from Pettitte in order to change my mind.
I'll probably be back during game-time. I think it's an afternoon game.
