Great catch JMQ! I am kind of shocked. Maybe he wants to split up the left-handers (Lee/Hamels)?
Well...that game is must see TV.

Jeez, should the Yankees even show up? Only A-Rod would be worthy of starting for the Phils and now this defensive analysis absolutely kills them:

Second Base
Chase Utley
BA .282, HR 31, RBI 93, Runs 112, SB 23
Robinson Cano
BA .320, HR 25, RBI 85, Runs 103
Looks like Cano has emerged from his slumber and started to become the player that Michael Kay has been drooling over for three years. I still take Pedroia over him, but I am a homer. And Pedroia is the better baseball player...Unfortunately, he's playing golf.
Utley is the best offensive second baseman in the game, and he is not prone to mental lapses as is Cano. No doubt in my mind, give me Utley.
Chase Utley is a bad man.

CC's battling but 2 bad pitches feel like they weigh a LOT more than they should.

> Burnett is one of those guys who has some impressive stats like opponent BA but cannot limit the damage when he starts to have a bad inning. He nevers gets bled to death with a run here, a run there - always gets blown up with a 3+ run inning that tend to include bounced pitches and hit batters. If he can somehow avoid that they have a good chance against Pedro. Does Posada catch him tonite?

AJ was very good and didn't have a break down
Ol' Charlie let Pedro go too long
2 missed calls
All UP!
