World Series, Game Two

Game two was one of the best of the post season, despite all the walk-off/come from behind wins. It was close, it was a great pitchers duel (more so than game one in my mind), and both teams played their best.



Some managerial decisions however are worth addressing:

1) I like Hariston over Swisher for one game, Hariston has hit Pedro and did again last night, Swisher is cold, and Hariston provdies better defense.

2) Molina over Posada when Burnett is starting is fine by me.

3) Don't know how i feel about Rivera for 2 innings. It makes sense with the day off and to give the pen a rest, but I'm sorry, that's a little over confidence in Mo to ask for that 2 games in a row.

Now for a dose of Rob Manning and Liam Cronin


AJ Burnett










Couldn't ask for a better start. Exactly what the Yanks needed.

Mariano Rivera

Two nearly perfect innings, great post season Mo.

Mark Teixeira

Breaking out of his slump with a big homer.

Phillies

Raul Ibanez

Couple big hits and an unbelievable play in left to save a run.

Pedro Martinez

Return to the Bronx was actually a really good start. Oh well......

Matt Stairs

Really? Matt Stairs? Whatever works
