As Spiff said before, looking at his words then looking at his sig....it is a very amusing experience.
As for the Cotts/MB NYY debate...it was not a lock that Mark would have 110% won that game. He could have gotten lit up like he did yesterday. Granted it may have been better to save Cotts for a game against the Tiggers and let Mark pitch a harder game against the Yankees, but it's over now. So no matter how much b****ing there is about it; it is not going to change the facts that Cotts got rocked, Mark got rocked and we lost both games. Nothing is certain, that's why the games are played.
And if we are playing by the numbers, remember the game I believe it was in mid-August when we played the Royals at home. JM brought in Schoenweis because of the opponent .150 batting average. Schoenweis got rocked. The numbers matter but they are not infalliable because sometimes the pitcher just doesn't have it.
So any speculation as to if Mark would have won in NY and Cotts/Wright winning in Detroit is just that...speculation because nothing is certain.
