As much of a Yank fan as i am, I have to somewhat agree with you here. Pitching wins in the playoffs and if the Yanks cant get consistent pitching from anyone but Mussina and Wang (i know he got shelled the other day but he has been pretty consistent) then they will have serious problems against the better rotations like minnesota's or the deeper ones like the one in Chitown if they can get in. The A's i really dont worry about. Detroit i havent seen enough of to form a good opinion on.
