2010 ALCS vs Rangers…Game 3
So we’re tied 1-1 and things look bad for the defending world champions for the next couple games…we’ve gotta face Cliff Lee for game 3, then we march Burnett out for game 4, and he has this habit lately of bringing a gas can out with him instead of a glove…
Ill say this now, if we lose tonight, go down 1-2 in the series and Girardi still lets Burnett pitch, then we lose. Period. DONT do it, Joe. Hell, even if we beat Lee, DONT do it. Sabathia has made a career out of winning on 3 days rest and I doubt hes too tired after pitching only 4 innings in game 1.
Speaking of which, Ill just be happy if one of our starters pitch 5 innings. Be a nice change of pace. Either way, the Yankees-Rangers series can go either way still. Lee may have beaten the Yankees twice in last years world series, but Andy Pettitte beat the Phillies twice as well in that series….and the Phillies are a far superior lineup to the Rangers. So just because Lee is pitching doesnt mean an automatic win for Texas because remember: CJ Wilson was also suppose to be an automatic win as well and we got to him too.
Look at it this way, if the Giants found a way to beat Halladay after pitching a no hitter, than no “ace” is untouchable in the postseason.
Its time for Pettitte to show why hes won more postseason games than any other pitcher.
