Pettitte_throws_1f43
From Gene Wojciechowski:What if I told you the New York Yankees are ruining this World Series?What if I said that Andy Pettitte has as many hits as Mark Teixeira?Or that CC Sabathia has as many pitching wins as George Steinbrenner?And yet, incredibly, the Yankees can close out this thing with a win Monday night. They can make the Philadelphia Phillies the ex-world champions. They can do what few, if any people predicted: beat the Phillies in phive.That's how good these Yankees are. They improvise. Adapt. Overcome. Talk all you want about their $208 million payroll and their roll call of stars, but the Yankees are winning because of their hearts, not their bank accounts....For the sake of a Series predicted to be an actual Fall Classic, it would be nice if the Phillies could somehow push this to a seventh game.

Ultimate Gamble: Pitch Rivera for 3 Innings

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 [...]

I Want Candy: Yanks-Phils WS Gamer III

Harper: Yanks need end to Teix mess

Mark Teixeira is floundering at the plate in his first postseason the way A-Rod once did. And while the Yanks have survived so far, you have to ask: Can they really win a championship with their No. 3 hitter seemingly blinded by the bright lights of October/November?

Now that’s New York Yankees’ baseball for you

The New York Yankees won over the Philadelphia Phillies by a score of 8-5 in game three of the World Series. Towering home runs, timely pitching, great bull pen work. The Yankees are now up 2-1.

Five Cuts: Oldies but goodies in spotlight

1. So the World Series comes down to this: the old and familiar. Stop me if you have heard this before: a Yankees team with Andy Pettitte, Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada and Mariano Rivera trying to get through Pedro Martinez to a world championship. Game 5 barely was over in Philadelphia when even Jeter, rarely reflective, immediately understood that the World Series is reduced to a...
