what an ignorant slob

he is repeating the same thing, AJ should not go on short rest, for about an hour now. Get to the game, Mike. Heard a little about Damon's AB. If you ever listen to Ron and Fez on XM Radio, one of there producers talks about how Francesa repeats every statement right after he says it. Sometimes, he just switches the sentence around. Its true, its like he cant think of alot of ideas, so just repeats himself right after he says something. like: AJ should not go on short rest, short rest, AJ should not be on. Mike, right on a piece of paper, an outline. When he drones on with the same mantra, it gets annoying.

this is the World Series, Pettitte ought to throw until his arm falls off, even if he hurts himself. We have seen it is so hard to get back to a World Series, especially with the super teams in the AL. Remember when Leiter was with the Yanks in 2006 postseason? He said he was throwing with everything he had, didnt care if it blew out his arm. Pettitte had to be convinced in the few years to come back and play, he isnt long for this game.

Let me touch on somethings here..(and this isn't directed at 1 person...this is a general rant)

1) this is the world freaking series.....you are not going to go turn this into a bullpen game after 3 innings. I mean come on people. Think a little. Gaudin for 3....Aceves for 3....i mean listen to yourselves. This not a game in june vs the royals. This is game 5 of the world series.

Gaudin hasn't started in over a month....and if your game plan is too let him go 3 or 4 innings...and then make it a bullpen game...i would strongly suggest you find some literature about how this great game of baseball works.

2) Concern's about Andy are fair....he had arm problems in the past. But we are talking about 1 start. 1 game. The LAST game of his season. His arm is not going to detatch off his body and go flying into the crowd in the 4th inning.

Andy is a big boy...he can handle pitching 1 game on short rest to try and win the yankees the world series.

francesa has a point there. they can afford to hold burnett back until game 6 in this situation with the yankees up 3-1.
