It might be a bit early to discuss game 7, given the fact that there might hopefully won't be one, but a thought popped into my head after reading this. Why not start Brett Myers in Game 7 of the World Series? If you're the Phillies your options are "I can't wait for the season to end" Cole Hamels, Blanton on 3 days rest, rookie J.A. Happ, or former ace of your staff Myers. Cole Hamels is averaging just under 5 innings per 4 playoff start and is giving up 4 runs per outing. He obviously does not have his **** together now.
