Beckett can be tough
White Sox staff has struggled all year
Minnesota just lost their 2nd Starter for the season
Yankees lineup top to bottom is tough, better than Boston, Detroit & Chicago.

the guy was not human in the begining of his career, so not he is just on the elite closer level instead of untouchable and people are saying he is no good.

Wang-Struggling his last 2 starts
Moose- Struggling last couple of starts
Randy- putting it together, but I hope they buy him out at season's end
Mariano- He'll be fine, sometimes he seems he's not focused.
I hope we have a subway series because I'll have a hard time watching Willie Randolph lose, I wore #30 all through little league and high school because of him and I play 2nd Base too.

Bobby Drunks hasn't been very good THIS year. 3-3 3.60 ERA, 22 R, 5 HR allowed. Velocity is down, curveball doesn't fool good hitters anymore. 
Joe Nathan: 6-0 1.59 ERA, 1 blown save, 9 R allowed. Solid.

Nathan has turned into a premier closer. Chew on this: the Giants traded Joe Nathan, Boof Bonzer and Francisco Liriano for AJ fucking Perzynski, who was a clubhouse cancer and is no longer with the club.
I've been a Giants fan for 37 years and I'm still
over that one.
Gee, do ya think Brian effen' Sabean got fleeced on that one?

And for good hitting teams that faced him recently like the Yanks and Tigers, they sure didn't figure out his little curveball and fastball, did they?

Maybe Liriano is like Wood/Prior...one amazing tease and injured for the rest of his life with elbow/arm problems?

But Nathan has been pretty consistent but has been doin it quietly being in Minny.
And Dotel enters the game for the Yanks. Lets see how he does
