I think if the Phillies are losing we get a streaker.... or there will be the typical trash of Philly humanity causing rukus outside the stadium.
So Melky is replaced by Pena on the roster, but he's in the dugout jumping around like a maniac. Maybe the Yankees just wanted to replace him and this was a convenient way. Or I guess maybe he's just less than 100%. I don't think it's serious, though.
What if the score is 7-0 Yankees and Burnett is pitching a gem? Do you pull him and Molina out in the 9th so that Posada and Rivera can finish it it?
Yeah, but the rule is that you can get the exception if the player would be put on the DL if it were the regular season. He tweaked his hammy, and would have been put on the DL. I would think, given that Melky has been hitting in the playoffs, the Yankees wouldn't want to replace him for no reason. Definitely not serious though. Yes, without question. The Yankees will end this series with Mo on the mound throwing to Posada. You can bet on that. --------------- This is not the same Cliff Lee that pitched against us in game 1.
