Charlie Manuel Hands the World Series to New York

Mon, 2 Nov 2009 18:26:06 +0000

There’s been all kinds of speculation and controversy about Charlie Manuel starting #4 starter Joe Blanton instead of his ace, Cliff Lee, on three days rest. Let me put the argument to rest. Starting Blanton handed the World Series to the Yankees last night. “You’re ...

Why Isn’t Cliff Lee Starting Tonight

Mon, 2 Nov 2009 01:05:56 +0000

While I was not entirely enthused about the World Series prior to Game 1, I have been pleasantly surprised early on with a fairly entertaining series. Game 1 provided a superb pitching matchup between Cliff Lee and CC Sabathia. Game 2 also provided a great pitcher’s duel, with Pedro and AJ ...

Playoffs Today

Sun, 1 Nov 2009 15:03:53 +0000

The Yankees put themselves in a great position to win the World Series with their 8-5 game three win Saturday night. They regain home field advantage. The worst than can happen to them is that they go back to New York to try to win two. The win also put them in a great position to take a 3-1 ...

From The Looking For Something To Complain About Dep’t

Mon, 2 Nov 2009 13:13:04 +0000

Maybe it was because MLB was trying to avoid a beanball war on the big stage, but what was up with not allowing the Yankees at least one free shot after the A-Rod plunking? And Tim McCarver, just because you think Joe Blanton & Co. weren’t throwing at Rodriguez because of the ...

A Gift?

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 00:22:32 +0000

According to multiple media outlets, the Phillies are starting Joe Blanton in Game 4. I have two thoughts on this 1- No way they do this if they are down 2-1 and I wouldn't do it up 2-1 either 2- If they still do it, thank you Charlie! Very big game tomorrow, expect lots of posts along ...

New Projected Pitching Matchups

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 22:13:00 +0000

Well Charlie Manuel threw us all a curveball by announcing his plans to start Joe Blanton in Game Four rather than going with Cliff Lee on three days rest. Barring a similarly stupid decision from Girardi, this is what we're looking at for pitching matchups for the rest of the series. I'll throw ...

Bob Ford: Putting it all on Joe Blanton

Sun, 1 Nov 2009 15:42:39 +0000

The Phillies could lose tonight and still come back to win the World Series. It won't be over. Not technically. But depending on how you feel about being set up with Pedro Martinez and Hamels in Yankee Stadium for potential starts in Game 6 and Game 7, it will be very close to being over. With ...

World Series Machinations

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 15:56:21 +0000

There's debate on whether the Phillies should start Joe Blanton or Cliff Lee in game 4. It's a no-brainer. Lee should receive his full rest and go in game 5; Blanton in game 4. There's also debate on Hideki Matsui playing the outfield. He should if he can move well enough to make the routine plays.

Blanton Will Start Game 4

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 19:36:00 +0000

Instead of Cliff Lee going on short rest, Charlie Manuel has decided to go with former Athletic Joe Blanton in game four . Blanton was 12-8 with a 4.05 ERA this season for Philly. If the Yankees start CC Sabathia in game four you have to give a huge edge to the Yankees in that matchup. While ...

The Eagles have already dispatched their half of the battle against New York, and now the Phillies simply have to the same. Tell me if any of this sounds familiar. The Phillies are about to face CC Sabathia in a playoff game on short rest, at home in CItizens Bank Park. Joe Blanton will ...

Game 3: Series Momentum Shifts to Yanks

Sun, 1 Nov 2009 12:20:25 +0000

The work is only half done, but by winning Game 3 the Yankees put the Phillies in their first hole of the postseason. The decision by Charlie Manuel to not pitch Cliff Lee on three days rest means ace CC Sabathia will take on the pedestrian Joe Blanton in Game 4. That is why last night was such ...

Charlie Manuel has decided to go with Joe Blanton in game 4 of the World Series as opposed to using Cliff Lee on three days rest or going with J.A. Happ. The move makes sense as the Philadelphia Phillies will have Cliff Lee on regular rest. Blanton was the Phillies ...

Should Have Started Lee

Mon, 2 Nov 2009 01:26:32 +0000

Derek Jeter reaches on an infield single and Damon doubles to the wall in right, and Joe Blanton has two runners in scoring position with no one out. Teixeira hits the first pitch just fair down the first base line, and Ryan Howard makes a nice play for the out, but the Yankees take a 1-0 lead. ...
