- Vote: Did Joe Girardi make a mistake pitching A.J. Burnett on short rest?
- Chats: Hall of Famer Joe Morgan, 11 ET | SweetSpot blogger Rob Neyer, 12 ET
It's going to be chilly Wednesday night in the Bronx (with potentially dangerous wind chills when Ryan Howard is at the plate), but that's a small price to pay for the first Game 6 in a World Series since 2003. As SportsNation expected with Cliff Lee on the mound, the Phillies earned their way back to Yankee Stadium with an 8-6 win at home in Game 5. A majority of voters are still picking the Yankees to finish off championship No. 27, but as you can see, it doesn't take much to swing popular support in a series that opened close to 50-50.
“It's not a coincidence that the 2 games you won were with Lee. The games have been close, but that is were the Phillies are vulnerable. Pedro,Hammel, and Blanton were good but they can't go late into the game. Pettite won't go more than six or Gaudin for that matter, but you don't have anybody to close the door. I wouldn't want Lidge in a game if I were a Philly fan in any situation.

“girardi definitly lost the gamble of pitching burnett on short rest. even though most expected a loss..... burnett should have lasted into the 7th or at least the 6th. if we were gonna lose like this it should have been with gaudin on the mound (he probably would have given better effort).
