" Kristi Anderson on the field were Ken Rosenthal after game six the Yankees win five to three they take the series fourteen to do and can't. It's kind of been a long time -- for this Yankees team what is different from this team in the past. 789 years a couple of things Christian. Start with the fact that this time they brought the right players. Please please sabathia AJ Burnett Mark Teixeira start there to different group. Nick Swisher helped as well coming over the tape the White Sox a little bit more of a fun dynamic here. But the biggest thing forget the intangible. Intangible. Starting pitching. The starting pitching has been brilliant the entire post season. And that really is the backbone of this Yankee team and it was the backbone of all the great Yankees teams in the late nineties and 2000. Auntie -- that's been the backbone of this pitching that he really left with -- and came back he's been such a prominent figure for the Yankees. His performance tonight another clincher in a series going. Andy Pettitte in his career has basically pitched for the entire season in the post season actually a little bit more than that. So as Joe Buck and Tim McCarver said earlier in the game. It looks like he's done this before any hats and he was just brilliant he never let the Angels a prayer he gets some good defense behind him struck out quite a few. And really just gave the Yankees exactly what they would want to. Also brilliant in the playoffs has been Alex Rodriguez. Known as someone who can definitely a big situation huge in the playoffs what was different for him this year a couple of things Christian. One is so confident right now and that's different than in the past when he kind of but unravel mentally quite frankly but this is an Alex Rodriguez right now who Tim McCarver said is covering every now know each of the plate. Nothing is getting by and he is locked in and he is the great players that we've seen so many times in the regular season. So you have a guy who's competent who has finally said what was the baggage. Holding him down. So good. Unraveling -- the Angels in the game is played here Yankee Stadium but different team when they came to New York. They were and that's the one thing I kinda don't understand. Granted the weather was really bad the first two games and that contributed I think particularly the first night. Tonight the weather was not a bat and they would -- coming to this game they are fine and they had every any reason to play well but. Cloudy with the defensive mistake early I'm -- the base running mistake early in the defensive mistakes that followed in the ninth inning. Really inexplicable as the team with the fewest errors in the American League this season 85. Fewest in club history. And yet you're right they unraveled yet it -- nine errors in this series. We back to the Yankees the -- this he still here in 1996 and still leading the amazing tonight to -- Jeter getting on base all the times Petit pitched so well Rivera the two inning save. These guys are nice young man anymore not even -- we think of is -- your minds forever -- didn't even look like he's -- drilling right but. They're still continuing -- such a high level and you can't exclude posada from this group either he didn't do as much tonight. They are the heart and soul of the Yankees they're the constant year after year after year and it's kind of cool to see them going back to."

" The World Series for the first time since 2003. And they will be hosting game -- here at Yankee Stadium against the Phillies -- thoughts on the series your initial thoughts. Well my initial thought first is that the Yankees by winning tonight pits CC sabathia in game one and that is -- Not a don't think you pitched three times in this series if that happens with one -- an off day then he'd have to pitch on three days' rest twice. That it would have to do once Burnett wants. So my guess would be most likely -- Gaudin will pitch game four foot. The yankees' pitching is. To be set up. Just to see how the Phillies stand up to. The Phillies are the most resilient toughest team in the National League by far. And they are a team that I believe will be a worthy challenger to these Yankees."

" Phillies uber confident as loaded inside and get a chance to defend their World Series championship as they do it and hey we haven't seen a back to back World Series champion from the National League since the big red machine. The Phillies have kind of adopted the little red machine. Well where in the World Series and you can call yourself even a little bit more than that. Ken Rosenthal the -- of knowledge -- here on foxsports.com. Game one Wednesday on fox we will be here can't we appreciate it thanks Christian and you on Wednesday after game one."

I'll talk about first timlin -- the biggest case of all the arbitration eligible players in 2010. The setup though in 2008 when Ryan Howard . That gave the Philadelphia Phillies . And 110 million dollar arbitration victory the biggest victory in history of arbitration . For first time eligible player. Tim Lincecum is soon gonna break that record once he goes into the boardroom what the club estimated they limited number of eight million dollars. The players -- number of thirteen million dollars. Now the arbitration panel of three when they're done here in the case we'll have to either pick eight million or thirteen million they can't pick a number in between. But it Ryan Howard . He went and it is award with -- MVP and a rookie of the year award. And he got ten million. Tim Lincecum is gonna walk into the room with two Cy Young awards. Our record of 4217. You walk is -- to award a record of 4217. I think he's gonna get paid more than Ryan Howard hit the San Francisco Giants are forced to walk into the arbitration room they have three alternatives. The first one is to settle the case in the Rome. If they can get a deal
we think he should be the highest paid pitcher ever -- arbitration . We agree this guys want to -- down so we agree his record of forty and seventeen is amazing. It's 676. Strikeouts as a star but then make it an industry case and try to argue the fact. That eight million dollars a year will be more than an. Any pictures ever made history of baseball the first time eligible and that that numbers more appropriate than another record which would be thirteen million dollars. A look at the arbitration records over the last five years the owners have won seventeen case that the players have won ten. Does that mean the clubs have won. No it doesn't the players have actually won because every year they win that one case. That changes the entire market for the next class the following year so even this year they lose all cases if they win the Tim Lincecum case. They really well one of arbitration . Because the bar will look instead at a new level for all future arbitration cases. -- the history of salary arbitration . It started in 1974. When Reggie Jackson broke the record in arbitration waited about a 135000. Dollars. Then in 2008 Ryan Howard get the ten million dollars award and in 2010. Might call that Tim Lincecum gonna win his case. At thirteen million dollars so we've gone from a 13501974. To thirteen million in 2010. That's arbitration process has worked for the players.
