you don't want C.C. to theoretically pitch game one of the ALCS?

This is absolutely not a good reason to start Paul Byrd. Looking past the New York Yankees just because you have a one game lead in a five-game series is ridiculous. Rather than planning ahead to a game against Boston that may never happen, I think you need to do whatever it takes to win the game that keeps your season going. First that would be game 4 and if that doesn't work out, then it's game 5. To hell with Thursday or Friday or whenever the ALCS starts.

C.C. pitching at Yankee Stadium and on short rest is a recipe for disaster.

I can't imagine anybody would actually argue against sending the 2007 AL Cy Young winner to the hill.

Me neither, but he's a choke artist and a lard-ass. Yankee's would chase him by the 5th.

From mlb.com scouting report...

Scouting Report:
Indians: Byrd doesn't have electric raw stuff, but few can match his desire to win.

I will take a choke artist lard-ass with Sabathia's talent over Paul Byrd any day. Seriously, what sounds better to you?

Option A - Game 4: well rested Paul Byrd, Game 5 (if necessary): C.C. Sabathia on full rest, Fausto Carmona sitting and watching with Cleveland's season in the balance

Option B - Game 4: eventual Cy Young winner C.C. Sabathia on 3 days rest, Game 5 (if necessary): Fausto Carmona on full rest
