Sedao's Insight

The 1st game of the world series is over.  Yankees down 1-0.  They lost by a score of 6-1.  The big bats that they had through out their AL series went up in smoke.   Arod looked like the Arod of old.  But more than that Cliff Lee was lights out.  The Mussina curve was on.  He just couldn’t be hit.

In Game 2, which is gonna be Thursday, is pinning Pedro against Burnett.   For A.J. Burnett’s first playoff he hasn’t shown to much.  If he pitched like this when the Marlins went to the World Series they would have lost but luckily he wasn’t.  Now his slate is wiped clean and he can start over with this World Series.  Pedro is an old yet proven pitcher.  He has only pitched one game this postseason but it looked like the Pedro of old.  This will be a true test to see if Pedro can pitch on the grand stand.

The Yankees need the bats to come alive.  It can’t be just one player.  Last night Jeter seemed to always be on base but no one could knock him in.  Tonight, if the Yankees want to win, need to work together and not just as single individuals.
