The beauty in the game of baseball is that one always has another opportunity at redemption. After the Phillies held on to beat the Yankees last night and force a Game 6 back in New York, that is exactly what the theme of Wenesday's game should be - REDEMPTION. Pedro Martinez has been the best pitcher many of us will ever have seen in our lifetime during his absolute prime of his career. He had a great deal of success versus the Yankees early on while playing with the Red Sox and despite his solid performance in Game 2 of this year's World Series, the Phillies find themselves training 3-2. Game 6, faces Martinez versus Petitte. What would be sweater then a Pedro Martinez victory against steriod user Andy Petitte back in the Bronx??
You can be sure I will be one of many rooting for Pedro to beat the Evil Empire one last night and make this World Series a 7 game event. And if then happens, we can then continue with the theme of REDEMPTION as Cole Hammels would take to the mound for Game 7.
