So much for improvement

Ian Kennedy's start on Thursday now seems like the exception and not the rule. There is no way the Yankees can keep him on at this point.

Unfortunately, they began the Joba Chamberlain transition process a day too late. It would have been great to match him up with Kennedy, because it's almost guaranteed that he'll be out by the fourth inning.

Andy Pettitte will likely give the team six or seven innings tomorrow, while Chamberlain is supposed to throw 50 pitches.

At least we know who will get jettisoned from the rotation once the transition phases® have been completed.
