Game 6 Postponed

Game 6 between the Angels and Yankees has been postponed until Sunday at 5:20 Pacific due to rain. this opens up a ton of options for starting pitchers. The Yankees now have the option to start CC Sabathia in an attempt to put the Angels away in game six. If he pitches Sunday and wins, he would then be unavailable to start the first game of the World Series against Cliff Lee. On the other hand, if the series go to game 7 and the Yankees win, he would be unable to pitch until game 3 of the World Series. This also now would allow the Angels to bring back John Lackey on short rest to start a possible game 7. If I'm Joe Girardi, I go to Sabathia in game six. You can't plan on the next series until you get there. You owe it to the team to put them in the best position to win, and Sabathia gives them the best chance.
