Question for the Fans

Sitting here watching Game 6 of the NY Yankees and Philladelphia Phillies World Series match up and thinking about a something Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said.  During one of his press interviews Manuel told reporters that he planned on using "anybody except Lee tonight".  This I completely agree with since if they lose tonight they get the next few months to rest!

The question is that should there be a game 7, would you start the dominant Cliff Lee on TWO days rest?  I am almost positive that Lee would be all for pitching but would it be wise for the Phillies?  As dominant as he has been during this series, you can't ignore how many innings/pitches he has thrown in such a time period.  He could be willing but would his arm still have some juice left in it?

I myself would let him start but would keep an close eye on him and pull him at the first sign of trouble.  

What would you do if you were the skipper?


I probably wouldn't have started Lee. Two days isn't much, and if they would have got down early it the media would never let you live that down. Of course, they didn't start him and now they're getting ready for next year.
