Game 2 promises to be closer than game 1

Game 2 between the Cleveland Indians and the New York Yankees features another great Cleveland pitcher. Fausto Carmona stunned everyone by going from 1-10 in his first major league season last year, to 19-8. He shaved (more like chopped) nearly two and a half runs off of his ERA, dropping from a bloated 5.42 a year ago to 3.06 this season.

The Yankees will be pitching veteran lefty Andy Pettitte. This will be Pettitte's 35th career postseason start. Many players have left the game before getting that many regular season starts. His record in the postseason is 14-9. Their is no substitute for that kind of experience.

Carmona will definately have some butterflies tonight. Pettitte got the butterflies out 12 years ago.
