Carl Pavano will toe the slab for New York on Opening Day, in Yankee Stadium.
Carl Pavano.
CARL PAVANO.
The same Carl Pavano who's been called out by his teammates for being as durable as a dandelion. The same Carl Pavano whose last big league pitch came in June of 2005. The same Carl Pavano who has thrown exactly 100 innings in pinstripes, since signing a 4-year, $40 million dollar deal two years ago.
The reason C-Pav is going to be on the bump is because Andy Pettitte and Chien-Ming Wang are both hurt. Mike Mussina, import Kei Igawa, and my former roommate from my days on the Vermont Expos, Darrell Rasner will round out the rotation, for now. If this patch-work staff isn't an ominous way to start the season, I don't know what is.
And when you look Boston's rotation (even with Papelbon in the pen), Toronto's rotation (until Halladay and/or Burnett get hurt), and even what Baltimore's rotation could be, the title of this post seems more and more appropriate.

Baseblogger, I like where your head's at.
That's the Carl Pavano we've all grown to love over the last 2+ years.

Well the Yankees are on pace for 162-0, which I think would win the division. Suck on that Baseblogger.
I don't know, but 1100 runs might win the Yanks a division, even if I'm pitching every 5th day
