This is a repost from Rebecca’s blog. Original can be found here.
So that game didn’t go exactly as planned.
You can divvy it up however you want, but the honest truth is that Phil Hughes did not pitch like a Game Two starter is supposed to pitch, and Colby Lewis did–at least enough [...]

The baseball playoffs are just three days old, but already there seem to be certain things that we’ve, if not necessarily learned anew, then have had reinforced to the point where it’s almost comical.
1) What postseason jitters?

(Minnesota vs Yankees tropes checklist: 1) Minnesota scores first, check. 2) Yankees come back and score more, check. 3) Yankee bullpen is better than the Twins bullpen, check. 4) Umpires do something stupid, check.)

A few days ago, über-writer Joe Posnanski published a piece in which he asked which Yankee was more valuable throughout his career: Derek Jeter or Mariano Rivera?

There was some discussion this weekend about Boston’s pitchers, and how Josh Beckett, the nominal ace of the Red Sox staff, really wasn’t the ace–and the fact that almost everyone who follows baseball would agree that Jon Lester has taken over this role.
