Baseball Betting: Yankees Bring Brooms To Motown!

The New York Yankees look like they flew to Detroit on a broom rather then a jet and they may leave the wooden sweeper when they depart the motor city just before midnight tonight. The pinstripers have sent an emphatic message to the upstart bengals, that they are the bullies of the American East. I have been propping the Tiegrs pitching but both the starters and relievers have been awful this week, being outscored 21-7.
While we are blasting the pitchers, the offense must have the finger pointed at them as sveen runs in three games against the anemic Yankee pitching is embarrassing.

The Tigers hit five consecutive grounders to Miguel Cairo in the first and second innings to give him five assists and a putout on Detroit's first six batters. Detroit's Nate Robertson (5-3) allowed six runs and 10 hits, walking two and strkiing out seven in 8 2-3 innings.

Certainly have to question Angel’s general manager Bill Stoneman’s decision to award pticher Kelvim Escobar a whopping $28 million for three years. The guy is only three games over .500 (77-74) and is 19-19 in his career with the Angels. Escobar gets a $1.5 million signing bonus, $8.5 million in 2007, $9 million in 2008 and $9.5 million in 2009.

The pitcehr signed a three-year, $18.75 million contract with the Angels on Nov. 24, 2003, after pitching five full seasons and patrs of two others with the Toronto Blue Jays.

He was 11-12 with a 3.93 ERA in 33 starts in 2004 and 3-2 with a 3.02 ERA in seven starts and nine relief appearances last season. I mean the entire 25 boy roster of Florida is getting $14 million and that includes all star Dontrelle Willis, while Escobar is grabbing $9 million. Go figure?
