He also is obviously on a pitch count which limits him to 100 or so pitches. The fact that he is usually at the limit in the 5th or 6th inning makes him a shaky prop in my eyes.

After what happened in the Tigers series last year, I guess I can't be TOO confident, lol. The Yanks have hit Carmona twice this year and their history against C.C. is pretty darn good.....albeit, they haven't faced him in a couple of years. Yanks and Indians had a pretty good rivalry going back in the late 90's, so this should be a fun series (of course, it will only be fun if my Yankees win).

May as well enjoy the Mets collapse though - this is going to be fun in NY. I just feel badly for Willie, who will always be a Yankee to me.

Typical Yankee fan arrogance.

Nice mature response - I know you were one of the ones to call WFAN and relish in the Yankees' early season misery..........and that is precisely why I am enjoying this. I can't count the number of Met fans who called in to gloat and say how the Yankees were done. Well, now it's come back to bite them in the fannies. Go take this to the bank - teams LOVE to beat the Mets because they showboat. Even Met announcers have stated this fact - they are not a likeable team. LOL and they thought they took back NY earlier this year............NOT, and not with Phil Hughes, Ian Kennedy and Joba Chamberlain with the team to stay.

Every team has choked before and the Yankees did it in 2004, not exactly something they should be proud of as they let the Sox come all the way back and win it on their home turf. Does that thought make you feel better? I didn't think so.

Once in ages is too much.

Either lengthen the ages or just skip the rest of this millenium.

Where were you anyway?....out romping the fields with the Riccola Brothers?

Hey...it's rhetorical.....don't bother.

What exactly do you expect when I'm told to get lost and that I'm pathetic because of one post that I make that was hardly inflammatory? Whatever - I really don't care what you think of me.

What you say has some truth to it. I do not like the Jose Reyes dancing after every hit. I have been saying for a long time that he should tone that nonsense down. However, plenty of players on the yankees showboat. A-Rod loves to do his little bat flip after a home run. Jaba better be careful with his fist pumping after striking someone out on the Devil Rays when the game means nothing. It also amazes me how all of a sudden every Yankee fan loves A-Rod when last year at this time they all wanted to run him out of town.

Boy...the old fossil can get nasty..aye?

Well, it amazes me too about the fans and I think they are hypocrites. I love A-Rod and have supported him from day one; I've never seen an athlete treated the way he has been. Yankee fans booed him in spring training (!) and on opening day - how pathetic is that? IMO, those same fans that booed A-Rod have absolutely no business cheering MVP now.

Yes.....They certainly did.

Thank you for putting me in my place.

F the Mets(especially the cocky show-off shortstop.)That guy must have choked pretty hard.He is their catalyst,but they weren't scoring today or Friday.I'm surprised they didn't get it done.Wouldn't have taken much for them to have held on. I won't miss them.Where are the PADS-ROCKS playing?TOMKO hit hard wall when faced with a team that can hit.Colorado is hot(13 out of 14,) but PADRES are one of the most mentally tough teams in baseball.....TOUGH CALL.

Actually Carmona gave up 2 runs in 6 innings in a game the Indians led 6-2 in the 9th with two outs and noone on and Borowski proceeded to give up 6 runs with 2 outs and noone on. Carmona gave up 4 runs in 7 innings his 2nd game against them. So in all actuality his first start against them was quality and his 2nd though not dominating was not horrible at all. He certainly should have gotten a win in the first game. He hasn't dominated them, but his ERA is 4.15 against them which is probably much below what the league average is against the Yankees
