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.

- A.J. Burnett has faced the Phillies 17 times (16 as a starter), and is 5-8, with a 4.75 ERA. He faced them one time this season, losing on May 22nd at the stadium. In 6 innings he allowed 5 earned runs on 8 hits, walked 2, and struck out 7. He also allowed three home runs. However, he did shut down the Phillies in game 2 of the series back in the Bronx.

In 11 starts in Philly Burnett is 3-6, with a 4.75 ERA. The last time he pitched there was back on 5/7/08. That day in 6.1 innings he allowed 2 earned runs on 4 hits, walked 3, struck out 8, and picked up a win. It was his first win in Philly since 4/29/05.

- In nine career starts against the Yankees Cliff Lee is 4-4, with a 5.02 ERA. He faced the Yankees twice during the regular season, both times as a member of the Indians, and went 1-1, with a 3.00 ERA. In 12 innings pitched he allowed 4 earned on 16 hits, walked 5 and struck out 9. He was nearly unhittable in game 1 of the series as he threw a complete game and allowed just one unearned run.

- The Phillies took two of the three meetings with the Yankees in the Bronx during the regular season. Including the playoffs the Yankees are 4-3 against Philly.

- The Yankees are one win away from becoming the first team to win a World Series with a three-man rotation since the 1991 Minnesota Twins (Jack Morris, Kevin Tapani, and Scott Erickson).

- Joe Girardi said prior to the game that the Yankees were in talks with Major League Baseball to make a move to replace Melky Cabrera on the roster.
