World Series Game 3
NY 6 FLA 1
Josh Beckett pitched as well as anyone could have expected, but the Yankees just waited him out and feasted on the bullpen. Derek Jeter continued his big game plays doubling and scoring the go ahead run in the 8th inning.
When Grady Little left Pedro Martinez in, the Yankees came running back. Today, Trader Jack removed his best pitcher for Dontrell Willis and they beat up on him too. There is no right answer in the late innings against the Yankees. They have been to the big game so many times that they don't buckle in late inning pressure situations, but they expect the opponent to buckle and are rarely disappointed. Derek Jeter will not make the Hall of Fame on his raw numbers alone, but he should get consideration for the many times he made a difference in the playoffs.
