Everything, as long as they play the Yankees. And John Lackey when he’s not playing the Red Sox. After Lackey, they have enough pitchers who have been good recently, (Kelvim Escobar, Jon Garland) mixed with pitchers with loads of potential (Lil’ Weaver, Ervin Santana, Joe Saunders) to create a damn good rotation. Oh, and they still have K-Rod and Vladdy Daddy.
The entire team against the Red Sox. Seriously, have I mentioned how bitter I am that a team can destroy the Yanks but choke on their own vomit when they go to Fenway? Their offense can play small ball, but are Garrett Anderson and Torii Hunter legitimate 4-5 hitters on a World Series contender?
A fairly consistent if not overpowering lineup, led by the ridiculously consistent Ichiro. They traded for arguably the best starter in the game in Erik Bedard. (Also the best Canadian athlete not named Steve Nash. Sorry,
But as good as their lineup is, there’s not one person who scares me besides Ichiro. Sure, Beltre, Sexson, Vidro, and Ibanez are nice to have, but how good are they? And their #2 starter is Felix Hernandez, who has been able to legally drink since last April. Sure, he’ll be good, but isn’t this expecting a lot?

Uh, is Moneyball still a bestseller? No? Well, hey, at least they still have…Tim Hudson? Mark Mulder? Barry Zito? Dan Haren? Rich Harden? Well hey, one out of 5 aint bad, even if Harden’s hometown is listed as the disabled list. (hi-yo!) And they get to remind jealous Yankee fans that Jason Giambi isn’t their problem anymore.
Did you read the good? Pretty much everything sucks. Eric “the franchise” Chavez and his .240 average and 15 home runs are what qualify as the #3 hitter in this fearsome-as-a-VW lineup. And Jack “does this Jersey guy get his ‘roids from the same
What’s good?
Uh, mediocre setup man Joaquin Benoit has a pretty cool name? Hey, at least Buck Showalter isn’t walking through that door! Hey, at least they play the A’s a bunch!
Everything else. More specifically,
