Doc Needs To Start Tonight

If I was Cito Gaston I would pitch Roy Halladay on three days rest tonight. This isn't only a series in May, it is a huge series for the jays morale and they can't get swept. Throwing Doc tonight would show that the Jays are serious about winning the division.

The Red Sox are about to go 8-0 against the Jay and Yanks this year if they win tonight and the Jays have given them now reason yet to fear them as I said earlier this week. The Jays don't have a hope in hell of winning the division if Vernon Wells and Alex Rios don't start hitting and unless they trade for another front of the rotation starter because there rotation won't hold up. But winning with Doc tonight would show the Sox that they can't expect to beat the Jays when they have their best on the mound.

On another note David Ortiz looks about done. I have watched 6 or 7 Sox games this year and he does not look recovered from wrist surgery in the off season. Actually he probably has but he just can't hit the high heater anymore. He used to feast on inside fastballs and he just can't get around on them anymore. It's going to be a long year for him and I'm just glad Jason Bay can help carry some of the load caused by Ortiz's drop-off.
