First, the most egregious mistake: the Orioles lineup cannot match up to the Yankees. Just...no.
Secondly, b-list pitchers got so damn much because of a combination of things. Before the offseason began, the Mets gave Kris Benson, who has never been good, a big contract, and all of a sudden the market became set. If you wanted a b-lister, you had to pay about that much. It isn't those guys' fault that the teams that signed them were stupid.
Thirdly, the Yankees will be fine. Anything can happen in 2 weeks. The Tampa Bay Devil Rays won 12 in a row in June last year. 'Nuff said.
However, I do quite enjoy millions of New Yorkers freaking out. Squirm, piggies, squirm!
