Damon set up the two runs in the first with a double, had an RBI single, and set up the winning run. He also had the big hit in Game 3, doubling to the wall to turn a 3-3 tie into a 5-3 lead. If he has a big game tonight, he could have a major hand in 3 wins (but of course, it is a big if, especially with the lefty Lee on the mound).

They have no one! We have 2 players… Marte and Mariano…

Marte is a huge part of the pen right now! It really bodes well for him going into next year!

I don’t see it, I guess maybe but he just hasn’t had a most valuable impact! We can easily win this world series without Damon! In fact Damon’s game winning run last night was only necessary because he let Howard score from 2nd on a ball hit in front of him… If he plays that ball well at all or has any arm that run is thrown out or never goes home!

I think if Damon has a big game tonight he’s in the running too.

Put the bullpen in perspective, please: The Phillies pen has been FAR worse. Asked to keep the game close the past two nights, it has failed miserably.

Marte has looked pretty dominant this series against the Philadelphia lefties, which has been a big asset for the Yankees.

Our bullpen has been a disappointment. Mo has been an absolutely godsend. Honestly, I don’t know where we would be without him. Every team we’ve faced knows that once Mo comes in, it’s basically over for them. I thought Chamberlain looked good except his one mistake. His slider was terrible though.

At this point the only one who could challenge Mariano for WS MVP is Burnett if he gets the decision tomorrow and goes 7+ IP in the clinching game because he would have 2 wins in the WS and the first to tie the series at 1-1 and the last a win against CLiff Lee to win to whole thing! Other than that Mo has it!
