The Big Day

Carl Pavano is starting tonight. Let that sink in.

I for one, am looking forward to this start. Rumor has it that at one point he was a major league pitcher, and even won a World Series. It'd be nice to see him do something to earn the $40 million dollars he's been paid.

I'm not expecting anything big out of him, but it really is a great unknown as to what he's going to do. So it'll be interesting to see what he has. Baltimore has a shitty lineup, he might be able to take advantage of that.

For the record, I would have started Hughes today, but Girardi and company seemed to know that he wasn't ready yet. He was bombed last night in Triple A again, and seems to be suffering from a combination of the flu and a tired arm. I think he'll be back in the rotation around when Joba returns in 2 weeks.
