News & Notes

- At 103-59 the Yankees had the best record in all of baseball. The Yankees finish the '09 season 46-35 on the road, the second best record in the American League.

- At 93-69 the Phillies had the second best record in the National League behind the Dodgers. The Phillies were not too great at home this season, posting a 46-35 record, good for 6th in the National League. But in their last 12 postseason games at home they're 11-1.

- Andy Pettitte has started seven games against the Phillies in his career, and is 2-2 with a 3.67 ERA. Four of those starts came in Philly, where he's 1-2, with a 2.52 ERA. In a no decision against them earlier this year he allowed 4 earned runs on 5 hits, walked 2, and struck out 5 in 7 innings.

In 38 career postseason starts, Pettitte is 16-9 with a 3.83 ERA. The 16 wins are an all-time record. This year he's 2-0, with a 2.37 ERA in three postseason starts. In 19 innings pitched Pettitte has allowed 5 earned runs on 17 hits, walked 3 and struck out 15.

Remember, pitchers hit in the NL so Andy will be getting some at-bats. Pettitte is a lifetime .134/.161/.183 hitter. This year he went 1-for-5 at the plate.

- In two starts against the Yankees Cole Hamels is 0-1, with a 2.77 ERA. In one start against them this year he pitched 6 innings, allowing 2 earned runs on 8 hits, did not walk a batter, and struck out 5. He did not get a decision.

After being lights-out last October, Hamels has struggled a bit this time around. In three starts he's 1-1 with a 6.75 ERA. In 14.2 innings he's allowed 11 earned runs on 22 hits, walked 2 and struck out 12. In his career in the playoffs he's 5-2 with a 3.36 ERA in nine starts.

- The Phillies took two of the three meetings with the Yankees in the Bronx during the regular season. Including the playoffs the Yankees are 2-3 against Philly.

- Joe Girardi announced before tonight's game that CC Sabathia will start game 4 tomorrow. He also said that both Andy Pettitte and A.J. Burnett could go on short rest too.
