Last Call: Where It’s Still 2002
Miranda Kerr appreciates a good ol' pitching duel
As I write this, Pedro Martinez and Vicente Padilla are currently locked in a pitching duel in game 2 of the Phillies/Dodgers NLCS. If you had told me this would happen in April, I would have kindly directed you to the nearest insane asylum. This is a match-up you would have expected in 2002, when Pedro had a 2.26 ERA for the Sawx and Padilla a 3.28 ERA for the Phils. But now Pedro (the former Dodger) is pitching for the Phillies and Padilla is a Dodger. Postseason baseball is muy peculiar.
As for the other match-up, we have CC Sabathia and the Yanks hosting Lackey and the Angels. I expect the Yankees to win as Hank Steinbrenner and Bud Selig each jump for joy in their respective luxury boxes.
