This Might Make You Feel A Little Better..

Rick Sutcliffe, of espn.com, had this to say about C.C. Sabathia and Fausto Carmona:

"The National League West has two of the best one-two pitching combinations with Jake Peavy and Chris Young in San Diego and Brandon Webb and Dan Haren in Arizona.

But the best one-two punch in baseball resides in Cleveland with C.C. Sabathia and Fausto Carmona. They're off to a slow start (combined 1-4 in seven starts), but having pitched in the midwest in April when I was with the Chicago Cubs, it's tough to have great command when it's not ideal baseball weather. In these cold conditions, the baseball feels more like a cueball. Once the weather improves, Sabathia's command and velocity will get better and Carmona's sinker will stay down.
I'm basing my choice also on what the two did last season. They combined to go 38-15; more impressive was the fact that they threw a combined 456 innings. Sabathia and Carmona's consistency allowed the Indians' entire rotation to be solid and they didn't allow the bullpen to be overworked. Plus, Sabathia and Carmona are facing lineups like Detroit, New York and Boston -- lineups that are better than the Indians offensively.
Josh Beckett and anyone would be a great duo. The same can be said about Roy Halladay. And while Sabathia and Carmona haven't been themselves yet this season, when it's all said and done in 2008, they'll be the best one-two punch in baseball."

I suddenly think whatever Sutcliffe says is credible. I reserve the right to reverse that whenever I want.
