Charlie Manuel had been somewhat tight-lipped regarding his game two starter for the World Series, but when he didn't immediately go with Cole Hamels, the writing was on the wall that we might see Pedro Martinez follow Cliff Lee in the rotation...

The Phillies have bumped Cliff Lee's start from tonight to tomorrow night, giving Pedro Martinez a shot at being the winning pitcher when they clinch their third straight NL East division title. What the move also does is make Cliff Lee the likel...

It sounds as if Billy Wagner won't be throwing for a playoff team this season, or even a possible contender. After Boston claimed him off waivers, giving the Mets through early Tuesday to work a trade with the Red Sox out, Wagner has refused to w...
