Yes, Virginia, you can never have enough pitching

And under the 'I Knew It !' column we have this.

Now, I never thought that Contreras had enough time (although he looked rattled on that special mound whenever there was a leadoff walk, which was, if nor frequent, more than rare by some real measures)

I never thought that Vazquez had enough time, but have to admit (in the post Weaver era) that there ARE some people who just can't do it in the Bronx. Especially if they think Whitey (33 consecutive scoreless innings in the Fall Classic) might be looking in the playoffs

But we now have in Pavano's shoulder last year and a potential 'back' before anything even happens this year the proverbial, 'what the hell did "we" pay for?'

Rumours that the problem last year were not Pavano's shoulder, but the thing that pumps blood were, if not rampantly up front, always quietly whispered reassert their nasty influence on one's mind.

I'd like to see Carl win 20 with a 2.3 era, but he is going to have to walk out there and do it from the hill in the Bronx, not the ones in Tampa, Detroit, or Kansas City.
