I think the pitching matchup for Game 2 is dreadful. Pedro is a shell of himself and Burnett is one of the most erratic starters. There is no in-between for Burnett - he is either very good or very bad. I think the Phils accomplished exactly what they needed to start the Series: no worse than a split in NY with Hamels and Lee to pitch back in the home park.

While Sabathia has had a better postseason this year than at any other point of his career, I was very happy to see him lose last night. On the other hand, I was pleased to see Lee succeed in the spotlight. What a dominating performance and some very sure hands when he fielded the ball.
