Joe Torre does not know how to handle his pitching staff

Torre off to a bad start tonight...with the 2nd-worst hitter on our team batting second.

The Yankees have decided to start Jeff Karstens over Kei Igawa against the Red Sox on Saturday.
Interesting. Let's say Karstens is the better pitcher: we'd still take our chances with the pitcher the Red Sox have never seen before over the one they just lit up a week earlier. Igawa might go right back into the rotation next week, or he might find himself in Triple-A when Mike Mussina comes off the DL. It'd be a risk to drop him in AL-only leagues, but it seems doubtful that he'll be worth using again anytime soon.

Torre does something smart

This would be a tough choice for me, neither had impressive starts but at least Karstens showed some potential at the end of last year. Boston has never seen Igawa but he has been awful too.

Boston's BP guy would put on a better show than Igawa.

Nicely done.

Igawa has pitched well in 2 starts and porly in 2 oters, it's not like he hasn't shown us anything
