HSC, normally I don't have a problem with what you say, but in this thread, I actually started to get angry while reading your posts. Why does it matter so much that Buehrle start the home opener? That would put him in the 4 slot, as others have mentioned. How the hell do you plan to get the rotation back on track then after messing it up like that, just so MB can throw the home opener?
As far as putting spots in between MB and Colon goes, the reason for that is that our best two match the opposition's best two starters. I.E. Buehrle vs. Johnson, then Garland vs. Schilling? Why? Wouldn't you rather have Colon go against Schilling than Garland?
And why talk so much s*** about Colon? Last I checked, his records are better than Ritchie's, and we gave up s*** to get him. You talk to about him as if he just pulled a Ritchie.
What you've just said doesn't add up to two cents, baseball wise.
