Who Gets the Ball in Game Two at Yankee Stadium?

Found October 26, 2009 on 700 Level:
PLAYERS: Pedro Martinez
TEAMS: Philadelphia Phillies

Images Charlie hasn't said it yet, but most people seem to think one Pedro Martinez will get the start in the Bronx on Thursday for game two of the World Series. Pedro has certainly been lobbying for the spot and has his fair share of history with the Yankees.

Phillies fans seem to be mixed on whether to give Cole or Pedro the ball in game two. Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing Hamels throw in the friendly confines of Citizens Bank Park in game three. I just feel like Pedro may handle the Yankee Stadium atmosphere a bit better. What's your take?

We thought this would be a fun time to go into the video archives to whip out some gems from Pedro's days as a member of the Red Sox. [videos below]

And thanks to Estebomb for this one:

As such, this World Series preview (note: even calling it this would be most generous) will feature no prognostication or any attempt to consider either of the contending parties as a whole. Rather, we shall...
