The blame is on Hughes alone in this instance.

Who the fuck does he think he is to shake the veteran?

I agree, but if Posada really believed in the breaking ball, he should have went out to the mound.

This is one game. Odds are, the Yankees prevail in this series and smoke the Phillies.

Have you seen the Phillies rotation?

What's wrong with the Phillies rotation? If they run a 3-man rotation in the WS, the pitchers will (probably) be Cole Hamels, Cliff Lee, and Pedro Martinez.... That seems like a good rotation to me.

Yup.

Lee = CC
Hamels > Burnett
Pedro > Pettitte

But Yanks have BP advantage.

In what, 5 ip?

And what about the rest of the bullpen?

Do you think it matches up to the Yanks' artillery?

I don't.

I think Cliff Lee is just as good as CC if not better. IMO.

If you don't think Cliff Lee can go pitch to pitch with CC Sabathia, you need to take CC's balls off your chin for a minute so you can think more clearly.

Lee has an era during these playoffs of 0.74. Also a K/BB of 20/3. A WHIP of 0.699. CC and Lee will go pitch for pitch. I would still take Lee over CC.

Again.

You're being biased, just like Jacko.

They'd go pitch to pitch.

You don't "Take one over the other".

I am not being biased. After last year with CC folding in the playoffs last year I would just be a little weary with CC. But for CC i would love to have him starting for my team.

Folding?

The man had been pitching on 3 day's rest for more than half a month.

Explain to me how he "folded" please?

Wrong word choice but the way Lee has been outstanding in the playoffs i can't go against him. CC has also been amazing this year but still you can't forget the past when looking at the two.

What "past"?

Oh, you mean last year when CC was completely gassed from pitching on 3 day's rest for almost a month?

Or the year with Cleveland when CC was the ace of the tribe but Lee wasn't even in the rotation?

Please refresh my memory.
