The Case For Starting CC On Three Days Rest

It's quite simple, really. Here goes. You ready? Of course you are. Well, you've probably already figured this out yourself. But if you haven't, take a listen, cuz it's real simple.

He has proven he can do it effectively.

Back in CC's Brewer days, he almost single-handedly carried them to the playoffs by pitching on three days' rest over and over(and over and over and over).

It's safe to say he was pretty successful there in Milwaukee. So why not? He's a better option than Chad Gaudin, and it's only one start on that short of rest. Plus, it gives us a chance to have him pitching 3 games this series, which gives us a great chance of winning the ALCS.

TONIGHT! In New York we have some rough weather, in contrast to the beautiful day the Dodgers and Phillies get to enjoy.

The doubtlessly jealous Angels are covering up their faces like New York is freakin' Antarctica.

While Mike Napoli played catch in his bankrobbing getup, A-Rod sat around the batting cages with a "towell"(as spelled by the Yahoo! editors) as his only protection against the elements, consumed deep in thought and looking a bit like he was about to cry.

The Mischief Twins, also known as Melky 'n' Robby, upon seeing this, cheered him up and took him for an adventure. God only knows where they went after this picture was taken. Narnia, you say? Yes, that's probably it.

On the subject of A-Rod, who here thinks he's really broken out of his playoff funk? Raise your hand (and leave a comment as to why you think he has or hasn't!).

That's basically it. Here's a random picture of Kobe Bryant and Tommy Lasorda that's funny if you add a caption in your brain. I have my suggestion, but you can add your own.

"If I just ignore him, maybe he'll leave me alone."
