" What in the foxsports.com. Continuing coverage of the 2009 World Series on Christian and and alongside Ken Rosenthal the most trusted man in baseball news. Ken Rosenthal -- here at the work out -- Yankees -- on the field again that no work after the Phillies today Charlie Manuel and Pedro will speak. But let's start with the Yankees three days read the story today in Joe Torre's -- conference that's all you heard that all the questions he heard. But one though he made that really stuck out he was when it -- any -- Probably his last start of the season actually it is his last start the season so anything semi give them an edge mentally and physically and again tomorrow night."
" What do you think -- christened the term baseball people use is emptying the tank. Usually they use it when a pitcher has perhaps one more inning left he knows it -- empty the tank. In this case it's one more game. This might not just be the last game of Andy -- season but possibly the last game of his career. You told me before the ALCS that he is again considering retirement. He has four children ages four to fifteen and he's trying to figure out really what to do that he's done before. So yes this is a situation where he knows he has one more but it still three days' rest and the record on three days' rest -- pitchers in the post season. Since 1999 is simply not good. And shoot the Phillies come back in this series that's gonna be the leg he had Joe Girardi -- time in the World Series with the Yankees. Yes and if the Phillies come back that's four straight starts on three days' rest including two vital one guy in baseball who was able to pitch successfully. On short rest at least the one guy doesn't most successfully. CC sabathia. But Kristin if you're asking whether Girardi should be second guessed that. My answer would be no and this goes back to the organization's handling of Joba Chamberlain. If you want them to start well maybe it's the start them right through the post season meet in your game for a guy. They clearly didn't trust in him in that way can't -- innings issues with him. And -- for Georgia million dollars you should be about more than three starters in the post season. I wouldn't put that on Girardi he's doing -- he can with what he had to."
" Seems they don't have faith and I was kiwi for the mound let's get to the hitters the Yankees get big -- back in the lineup Hideki Matsui -- playing his last time as a Yankee as well. They get their big bats in the lineup because we're in the American League park. Any -- faced Pedro your thoughts on their --"
" It will be a lot better with that's -- no question. Break Fasano also be the starting catcher tomorrow instead of Molina who's just catching Burnett to big bats. They are experiencing a little bit of an offensive drop off with Gardner replacing Cabrera but that shouldn't be a big deal. Jeter's hitting. -- is sitting in big spots they need to get to -- going they need to get to know going but offensively they should be fine. If they can figure out Pedro. Didn't do that the first start yeah Pedro was a -- in the last start we're expecting for Pedro in game six. Kristen -- guessed that before game two and I sit three and two thirds. Kind of glad the bet I would probably bet that again even though they said the last time there are people with the Phillies people in baseball Hussein never. Bet against Pedro Martinez. I certainly understand that. I have a lot of admiration for Pedro of one of his biggest fans like a roll his big fans. But man it's hard to imagine that he'll be as good. Keep -- night each of his previous two postseason starts came on extended rest ten plus days in both cases. -- he'll be on normal rest. And while I know he hasn't pitched as much as others I just wonder what the effect that will be."
" You -- on fox were stock calm about the Cole Hamels situation him wanting to isn't it and apparently was a quote that he had. And now there -- reported scuffle between him and Bret -- what going on in that clubhouse what's going on with the Phillies what dean well first of."
" All there was the scuffle I was there last night game Brett Myers did they some political Hamels as he left the clubhouse Hamels just kind of dismiss them did curse. It looked like a typical exchange between teammates see it all the time. And I was writing about Hamels if I saw that exchange sifting through my column I would have done it but it didn't appear that way at all. What'd happen -- this. Cole Hamels went to Charlie Manuel last -- it doesn't want explain some things we'll explain that. I really didn't mean what I said I've never been a quitter in my life. Made it very clear Charlie he made it very clear to reporters afterward. As for the scuffle. I just didn't see it let's look ahead Phillies win game six there's a key seven do we -- Cliff Lee for Phillies. Charlie Manuel did not rule that out after last night's game. But I would be really surprised if on two days' rest after a 112 pitches he starts clip -- Now maybe is starting with the attention. The intention of using him for two innings and just that's it shutting him down ultimately that's about what he'll be available for two or three innings of most. But let's look at Charlie Manuel last night he said Hamels is definitely the mix. I would imagine. That game will be a bullpen game in some fashion you'll see everybody that they have available and including Joe Blanton. Right now it's hard to say who exactly will start I was expecting quick hook from Charlie in that game and that's Cole Hamels. And he goes to perfect then as a base runner in the third that's it. It's an elimination game elements around. First we gotta get to game six at Wednesday night on file I eighties they're Ken Rosenthal be on the broadcast we'll have a close game and we'll have Ozzie Guillen as well for cannot Christian. We'll see them."
