Cabrera has the best ERA, so him.

Re: It's Game 7 of the World Series, who do you start?

Well, I have no faith in Wang to do anything based on this year. Daniel Cabrera....he got cut by the Nationals, so he must not be a good choice. Dontrelle would have an anxiety attack on the mound from all the pressure, and Sonnanstine just seems to suck on the road. So, by default, I'm banking on Dice-K to just throw millions of pitches and hope the offense can support him.

Zito, I think you're think of Sarunas Jasikevicius or whatever on the Pacers.

If this game goes 18 innings, Josh Wilson in for the loss.

I would say Sonnanstink just because I think the Rays can get it down with him. Dice-BB was my next choice.

Right, because game 7 of the World Series is equally as important as a regular season game in the middle of May.

If I know Bud Black like I do, it's all about saving Chris Young's arm for Game 8.

Because there is a game 8 like there are other games after the mid-May regular season game.

Makes sense.

Don't forget about Jake Peavy for Game 9.

And Geer for game 9?

Very good points. It's a long and arduous 162 game World Series, right?

They wouldn't want to burn out the staff. I mean, the worst thing is to have to call up some scrubs from Triple A to fill in for the rest of the week, right?

Oh, no, wait, they did bring up the scrubs anyway.
