NEWS AND NOTES
The phillies are bunch of talkers. Charlie Manuel is now saying “We can hit Rivera,” “We can hit any closer.”
Steve Serby had an exclusive interview with George Steinbrenner, via his spokesman Howard Rubenstein. He talks about how thrilled he was to see Mariano close out the Angels, how happy he is with the job his sons have done since handing power over to them, the new stadium, and how frustrated he's been these past nine years without a championship. Go over to the Post and check it out!
At 103-59 the Yankees had the best record in all of baseball. The Yankees finish the '09 season 46-35 on the road, the second best record in the American League.
At 93-69 the Phillies had the second best record in the National League behind the Dodgers. The Phillies were not too great at home this season, posting a 46-35 record, good for 6th in the National League. But in their last 12 postseason games at home they're 11-1.
Andy Pettitte has started seven games against the Phillies in his career, and is 2-2 with a 3.67 ERA. Four of those starts came in Philly, where he's 1-2, with a 2.52 ERA. In a no decision against them earlier this year he allowed 4 earned runs on 5 hits, walked 2, and struck out 5 in 7 innings.
In 38 career postseason starts, Pettitte is 16-9 with a 3.83 ERA. The 16 wins are an all-time record. This year he's 2-0, with a 2.37 ERA in three postseason starts. In 19 innings pitched Pettitte has allowed 5 earned runs on 17 hits, walked 3 and struck out 15.

In two starts against the Yankees Cole Hamels is 0-1, with a 2.77 ERA. In one start against them this year he pitched 6 innings, allowing 2 earned runs on 8 hits, did not walk a batter, and struck out 5. He did not get a decision.
After being lights-out last October, Hamels has went down hill. In three starts he's 1-1 with a 6.75 ERA. In 14.2 innings he's allowed 11 earned runs on 22 hits, walked 2 and struck out 12. In his career in the playoffs he's 5-2 with a 3.36 ERA in nine starts.
The Phillies took two of the three meetings with the Yankees in the Bronx during the regular season. Including the playoffs the Yankees are 2-3 against Philly.
Joe Girardi announced before tonight's game that CC Sabathia will start game 4 tomorrow. He also said that both Andy Pettitte and A.J. Burnett could go on short rest too.
