" Christian Anderson on the field after game two the Yankees went 32 on an even up the series at one PUP. Can start off with -- AJ Burnett only one time this year did CC sabathia and AJ lose consecutive starts not tonight EJ strong your thoughts on his performed. Performance of his life Christian. This with a guy who had all the pressure on him tonight Yankees trailing one game to none Pedro Martinez opposite him for the Phillies and what did he do. He produced any huge way. What did you have 261 pitch strikes this from a guy who has had trouble throwing strikes his entire career. And so -- very important happened tonight especially when you reflect back to game five of the -- yes. You remember in that game. Came back after the seventh with a lead and lost granted there was a long layoff at the Yankees had that -- getting. Tonight the Yankees take the lead in the sixth he comes back for the seventh. 1232. Strikeouts huge it seemed when he got that lead and he came back out a well of confidence from him on the other side Pedro Martinez. From my count only one ground ball all out tonight in a stadium where balls fly out if you get the -- are your thoughts on his performance brilliant and I actually thought the Yankees were going to get to Pedro Martinez. And yet it was won by a member of the Phillies front office yesterday don't ever rule this guy out don't ever bet against them. You saw him tonight in all his mastery. Joe Buck I believe called him a crafty right handers. Don't see that very often in this game we see a lot of crafty left handers but Pedro was mixing it up be at the curve ball working yet the changeup working. Two mistakes not Syria and Teixeira and that was it. Perhaps shouldn't have -- come out for that final inning you can make that case but he told Charlie Manuel right here I'm fine. Was very difficult to say -- to him at that point. Halloween is Saturday bled Pedro was a which on the mound today Alex Rodriguez three k's -- and three keys keen to haul long before he loses all that goodwill he built up in this post season. I don't think you'll lose all that good will but if this keeps up and if the Yankees do not win this series and obviously going to have some questions raised. That's the nature of being in Iraq. But he has faced two good pitchers two guys at the top of their game in mister Cliff Lee in game one and Pedro tonight. I'm not try to make excuses for -- but it's two games and let's not forget all the other things he did leading up to this. I'm anxious to see a little bit more. We saw a change in right field Nick Swisher in -- not starting tonight Hairston are for him. Johnny Damon is a -- at the plate he's really struggling. -- they don't have that many outfielders I don't go to to get a player can you left Jerry Hairston in right in game three of the World Series. It's the old these of the people who brought you here it to some degree you have to show loyalty. What are the same time you make a great point. Johnny Damon has done very little couple big hits here and there in the postseason. Swisher is a mess as well so that lineup card for Joe Girardi game three is going to be very interesting. Against the lefthander Cole Hamels. I don't imagine you'd see Brett Gardner you may see Hairston again -- Hideki -- leagues that bad he can't play in the field. It's a question they discuss but. My goodness he has done all season and his legs are that bad and Joe Girardi briefly entertain the idea earlier this weekend and seemed to shoot it down later. It might be something they revisit. To me it would be an absolute mistake putting out there. I don't Citizens Bank Park is a smaller park -- get away with it. I don't buy it. So the series is tied one game apiece. The team that has won game two to even things up is when the series 52% of the time who has momentum as we go back to Philadelphia. Well momentum in a series like this. Is two -- one it's with the team that just one but really and I say this all the time and I'm sure people are sick of hearing it. It's an old phrase momentum in baseball is the next day's starting pitcher. It's Cole Hamels is sandy headed it's which ever one of these guys pitches better. If they both pitched well that -- 'cause they had the bullpen but. You're really can't judge it like that because. You can say the Yankees have momentum. And yet if that comes out stinks it up in game three which I don't expect by the way. Then that momentum would be gone really clarified now and I'm to the point of million around the crowd I -- get the feel for the crowd in the last two games. These this has kind of been on their hands waiting for the big hit in seems like the Yankees are waiting for the big hit as well. You expecting rude reception we get the Philadelphia absolutely. And Citizens Bank Park is one of the liveliest parks in the majors. The only Yankee Stadium was also one of the liveliest parks the new Yankee Stadium and not so much. Any often it has been teams who've been to new ballparks over the bank is an exception in Philly. Tickets are more expensive you get a different kind of crowd and that's part of what's going on here. The other part is a World Series crowd is different than regular season crowd and perhaps a little less enthusiastic but. I talked to all three Phillies outfielders after game one Francisco victory don't worth every one of them said. There were no hostilities out there was rather pleasant so the series now shifts to Philadelphia tied it one game -- will be there. He with fox sports -- com for all the latest on the World Series four -- I'm Christian we'll see that."
