Charlie Manuel announced on the Michael Smerconish radio show that veteran Pedro Martinez will indeed start Game 2 of the World Series at Yankee Stadium. Cole Hamels will be pushed back to Game 3 at The Bank. Manuel feels Pedro is the better fit and is used to the "big stage" in New York.
Sort of a back-handed slap at the fragile psyche of his former ace. If CC Sabathia outduels Cliff Lee in Game 1, the Phils will be behind a rather large 8-ball very quickly.
