Yankees Playing Waiting Game With Tanaka...

...I brought up earlier that the Yanx will be playing 2 games in Japan...can you imagine the insanity and fanfare over there?

 

I just pray that we haven't signed another Irabu.

 

...no comparison.

 

OK, just for peace of mind Rick...

So yeah... as 59 said, no comparison... Tanaka is so much better...

 

So is CC still the ace? Okay stop laughing

 

no... I heard Tanaka and Kuroda will be 1 & 2 (not sure which will be which) & CC 3rd

 

That seems about right.
