I know the Yankees are explosive...and I know that doing that would have a potential HUGE backlash if the Yankees came back and won...
But assuming they take it to 3-2...if Pedro can pull it out in game 6...who's betting on the Yankees to beat Cliff Lee in game 7?

1) he's never done it before in his career.
2) you have to win today before you worry about tomorrow
Lots of reasons why. I wonder, though, if Manuel regrets not putting him out there on three days rest, though, last game.
