One Day More: World Series workout day is here
Big League Stew — As I scan Tuesday's newspapers, it would appear that Monday redefined the term "slow news day." The New York Times had a story on the Phillies arriving by train in Penn Station, just as the team in 1950 did.  The Philadelphia Daily News ran a "Red Hot and Sexy Phillies" story that was an insult to female baseball fans. The New York Post did the traditional "that other town sucks" column, only it was pumped full of steroids.  Finally, the New York Daily News won the feelgood story of the day award with a piece on little 16-month-old Jeter Villacis, who just had a heart transplant and ...

Circling The Bases — [image] Charlie Manuel made things official this morning, naming Pedro Martinez to start Game 2 of the World Series. Martinez has 38 career starts against the Yankees, including six in the postseason, but has faced them just once since 2006, allowing six runs in a blowout loss on ...

Game 1 or Game 2?
Pinstripe Alley — Game 1 or Game 2? Which one do you think will be more exciting: the matchup of the 2007 and 2008 Cy Young winners, or the return of Pedro Martinez to the Bronx?

Pedro Martinez to start game two
Macho Row — A little late to post this, but Pedro Martinez will be the game two starter for the Phillies on Thursday night. This should be fun.

Charlie Manuel Doesn’t Want To Win The World Series
Twinkie Talk | A Minnesota Twins Blog — [image] Charlie Manuel announced that Pedro Martinez will start game 2 of the World Series in Yankee Stadium. It will be his seventh career appearance in the playoffs versus New York. The main question everyone should be asking is: why? Supposedly Manuel is worried about Hamels’s recent struggles in the playoffs, whereas Pedro pitched reasonably well. That analysis is foolish. Cole Hamels is basically the same pitcher he was last year when he was named World Series MVP. His 2009 and 2008 FIPs are equal, but his BABIP rose from (an admittedly lucky) .270 in 2008 to .325 in 2009. He is allowing roughly the same amount of homers, while striking out more per 9 and walking less per 9. Martinez, on the ...
