But, since the Yanks aren’t going to score off Lee anyway, what difference will that make? It doesn’t matter whether they lose 2-0 or 10-0, does it?

If the Yanks elect to start Gaudin, in Game 5, and he gets rocked – because they have no one else to start, like Pedro, had they signed him, and are focused to turn to Chad.

How would it haunt them in Game 5? Lee is starting. Surely you don’t think the Yanks can beat the unbeatable Lee?

Actually, yes, $4 million is the difference, if you don’t think the guy has much left in the tank. Pedro might not have the negotiated the AL as well as he did the NL.

He’s scheduled for Game 6? Fine by me. When you rely on junkballing and tricking the other team, you really don’t want to show them the same act twice in one week.

Pedro’s brilliant on the mound; no one better at reading the hitter. But I’d be very surpised if the Yanks don’t hit him better the 2nd time around.
