game 2 goes to yankees

Pedro Martinez pitched really well but A.J. Burnett was better, thanks to an outside curveball that kept Phillies' batters offbalance. Final score: Yanks 3, Phils 1.

It's Cole Hamels vs. Andy Pettitte tonight, weather permitting. I caught Hamels' presser yesterday and concluded that the dude is thinking way too much. He should do what A.J. Burnett said he did, take a page from the Cliff Lee songbook. It's all about confidence.

Joe Blanton is scheduled to start Game 4 for the Phillies. It's stil TBD for the Yanks. A year ago today it was wild exhilaration in Philadelphia. Today, "we got high hopes!"
