So...
Schill did not thrill and Pettite pitched like that Rocket's pet tonight.
The Sox looked punchless (despite the game-by-game success they have, I still haven't seen an offense I can get excited about) and the Yankees offense... well, it rumbled on the same way it's been rumbling all season.
Schill seems to be putting more effort into his blog than into his effort to get one more big payday next season. He's become the '04 Pedro on this club - the once-proud ace who can get it done, but no longer the stopper of the rotation.
While Andy Pettite is not Lefty Gomez, Whitey Ford, or even Ron Guidry, he's had a nice little season for himself this season. Based on how he pitched in the NL the last few seasons, he'll have a 5.00 ERA in the second have (adjusted from a 4+ ERA in the NL), but this being the Yankees, the rules of baseball gravity don't apply.
I'm still worried about the Rangers being a trap series, and while the Red Sox still have the best record in baseball... the words "Here come the Yankees" will always have currency with me.
Past Memorial Day weekend, be ready for some $#!^

Roger is looking kind of shaky in the minors right now. That third minor league start will be crucial
I watched most of his 2nd start too and I agree. He looks like he needs to lose a few pounds because he's really huffing and puffing out there. However, he does hustle and grits it out--have to give him that.
