Series format is 2-3-2.
Derek Lowe only threw 20 pitches or so tonight, but he's shaky on the road.
Does he start Game 1? If so, he could then start Game 5 at Fenway on full rest.
If he's still fatigued, do you push him back to Game 2 (thus giving him Game 6 in addition - meaning he'd have TWO starts on the road - not good)
Pedro obviously gets games 3 and 7.
If Lowe is ready, I'd vote for the following:
1: Lowe
2: Wakefield (This is assuming Suppan is not trusted with a start, like in the ALDS. I don't know if I agree with Burkett over Suppan, but I wouldn't be the first to disagree with Little)
3: The Man
4: Burkett/Suppan/crapshoot. (at least the crapshoot is at home)
5: Lowe
6: Wakefield
7: Pedro
This is the formula that will vanquish the hated Yankees. And I'm sure the Sox will take note, as I've been informed that they monitor RC.com for baseball tips.

This is an interesting situation for me.
I love watching the red sox lose and they will lose to the Yankees. BUT lets assume they beat the yankees, and the cubs beat the marlins then the Red Sox lose to the Cubs. Ahhh, that would be soooooo sweet. That would almost be better than the Yankees beating the red sox which is almost a given.
BTW, why is this in general. I vote for moving it to the ladies room so it will resemble the inside of the red sox locker room at fenway. :lol:

Or the inside of a detox clinic like the inside of the Yankees locker room :D We could even bring guns, or just pop balloons and watch the heart attack happen!

The Red Socks (sic) will lose to the Yankees (again)... And it will be a kickass Cubs-Yanks series. I could almost root for the Cubs. Almost being the key word...
Go Yanks!

With as much money as the Yankees spend, they should be able to win one or two games. Oh wait, they didn't make it last year.... Time will soon tell.
