October 30, 2009 - MLB action is getting hotter!  The Yankees have not announced their rotation past Game 3 of the World Series, but their plan is practical. Their quest for a 27th championship has revolved around maximizing how many times their hulking ace, C. C. Sabathia, can pitch. They were smitten by how Sabathia volunteered to pitch on short rest for Milwaukee last season, and enriched him with $161 million so he could bring the same accountability to the Bronx.

Everyone on the Phillies was willing to praise Lee for his best outing in a postseason loaded with them. He has now gone 18 1/3 consecutive innings without allowing an earned run. But no one at least those with input on the matter were eager to discuss whether it was tempting to send him out Sunday night for Game 4.
