With their backs against the wall, needing a victory to keep their season alive, the reigning WFC failed to capitalize with men on base and as a result the New York Yankees are world champions.

Tonight Pedro Martinez takes the mound again for the Phllies. Dave C noted before the series that Martinez is still a solid pitcher, but very prone to giving up the long ball. That is just what we saw in Game 2, he got 8 Ks to just 2 BB over 6 innings, but [...]

So Andy Pettitte will be pitching on short rest tomorrow for Game 6. Knowing that he hasn’t done it since 2006 doesn’t guarantee that we will see the version of Pettitte that has provided quality starts in three of his four postseason appearances. The Yankees bullpen, surprisingly, hasn’t been as solid as I expected. If [...]
