Lohse and Lilly

[point06]

Lohse vs Burkett in Boston

Lilly vs Wells in NY

NY hasnt been as hot as they were at the beginning of the season, but they are still killing pitchers. I'm not sure of how Boston has been playing lately, but they are on a 4 game win streak.

I was thinking of starting Lilly and sitting Lohse, hows that sound?

I'd sit them both because the Yanks and BoSox offense is just too good to mess with for anything other than top 20 pitchers IMO. Lilly could do great, because he's a former Yankee that might be trying to show up his old team for not putting him in the starting rotation, but I wouldn't bet my ERA on that. Lohse is best started only against weaker teams.

man i wouldn't start anyone against the yanks nowadays (except mussina )... i'd be too scared of those 5 run innings.

if you have to pick, i'd go for lohse. the bosox are a little less scary, in my opinion
