I am curious to find out which angel you played.

Mussina is a #2 on any other contending team.

Vasquez? He might be their best pitcher.

Brown? I bet a case of Boone's Farm that his arm falls off by July.

Contreras? Holy shit what a waste of money. Decent #4

Lieber? Pretty good pre-surgery pitcher. Time will tell. Huge toss-up but ok #5

I'm not sure I see a point in your post. Last year we had NO number one starter*. This year, I bet either Brown or Vasquez step into that spot. Wells fell apart because he's fat and lazy. Contreras adjusted to the players' ability in this league to lay off pitches out of the strike zone and when he did, he was impressive. But, yeah, we overpaid. We always overpay. Brown may fall apart, but if he doesn't, he's proven that he can take a team to the series and pitch well once he gets there. Besides, Torre will take it easy on him since our bullpen is so strong this year.

The fact is, our pitching staff is just better this year than it was last year.

* Don't say Pettitte was our number one starter because he had 21 wins. He is not, has never been and never will be a number one starter on a good team. He has pitched well in the playoffs, but never when he leads off a series. He's best when you're down a game or two (which you might argue is more valuable, but that doesn't change the point).

Clearly, he was Bosley.

But if we're not talking IRL but on the board:

(1) Shape Shifter. I mean, once you've got world domination, what else is there?

Twue wuv.

I was born to play Bosley, and fuck you for thinking otherwise.

Only paigow and my Tivo think I'm actually a woman. I'm only disappointed to have been unable to convince the Tivo otherwise, because it is smart and a reliable source of entertainment.

ETA: Damn you, spookyfish! Self-deprecation isn't funny when it looks plagiarized!

(3) Leagl. More power than Shape Shifter.

It is true. It is awesome to be me.

Was Bosley supposed to be

gay,
metrosexual,
fauxmosexual,
asexual,
a eunuch,
or a very controlled heterosexual?

My point was that the Yankees rotation isn't as good as people think it is. It has the potential of being a great rotation, but a lot of things have to fall in place for that to happen. My other point(s) was/were one you agree with: that Mussina isn't a #1. I've never thought Pettitte was a #1. Decent #2, given his ERA, but not a great #2.

Oakland, Boston, the Cubs and maybe even Seattle have better starting pitching than the Yankees given the probablity of injury to Brown and the unpredictability of Lieber's comeback.

Edited to add that I'm a White Sox fan, a team that can't even keep a grip on Bartolo Colon's giant fat ass, so feel free to knock our rotation. They deserve it.

Of course you were.

Confession: When I was quite young, I used to play Dukes of Hazzard with these two neighbours of mine, Jake and Will. They never *once* let me be Daisy. I always had to be Uncle Jesse, while they were Bo and Luke. Uncle-fucking-Jesse. They always said "I wish we had a Daisy," "It's too bad we don't have a Daisy" etc. etc. Story of my fuckin life. The next time I'm home around the holidays, I think I'm going to have to kick both of their asses. Bastards.

What motivated the heading change for this thread?

GWNC really wanted to be Daisy and is going to be kicking some ass.

I liked to pretend I was one of the pilots on Star Blazers.

Go figure.

Pleasant-but-goofy but unattractive. Otherwise, he'd have gotten some action from someone sometime.
