That's the key right there...if Pettite can go six or seven solid innings. I'll say it again...it will be interesting to see how he is on 3-days.

Did you see the stat FOX put up on the history of pitchers on 3-days rest who pitched against pitchers on regular rest in the playoffs? Something like 12-37 or thereabout. That helps give the Phillies hope.

I did see that. But Andy Pettitte is 3-1 with a 2.88 era in the post season when pitching on short rest. And if he does as bad as Burnett did they still have Chad Gaudin in the pen for long relief.

Here is an interesting article on Andy on short rest.
