Previous Threads: Off-Season (I consider that a successful "series"), Kansas City (won 2-1) Game 1: Chien-Ming Wang vs. Scott Kazmir Game 2: A.J. Burnett vs. Matt Garza Game 3: Andy Pettitte vs. Andy Sonnanstine This should be a 3 game pitchers dual, and an exciting series. Just reminder, these are games 7-9, IF they don't win the series, no reason to panic!
I like the match up in game three. The other two scare me, especially if Teixeira's still out... the first one more than the second. Wang on turf = nail-biter for Cappy. And Garza can be as nasty as Burnett.
Okay, I'm little worried about Teixeira. 3rd straight game on the bench. YANKEES Jeter SS Damon LF Swisher 1B Posada C Nady RF Cano 2B Matsui DH Ransom 3B Cabrera CF RHP Chien-Ming Wang.

Wow. look at all of those loyal long time rays fans in the stands that have been filling the trop since the beginning.
I got Wang autodrafted to my Sarasota Field Mice team and I had to get rid of him. I was offered Kevin Slowey and accepted the trade. 7-2-1 after one week of action.
