SERIES TO RESUME TOMORROW IN PHILLY
PHILLIES LOOK FOR HOME FIELD EDGE & TITLE, YANKEES LOOK TO SOLVE PHILADELPHIA ROTATION AND STUN FANS
Derek Jeter almost seems to delight in the way this World Series is playing out. Forget all those power hitters. Pitching is priceless. "I told you," he said with a smile. Without any offense from Alex Rodriguez, Jeter and the New York Yankees totaled four runs in the first two games and still eked out a split at home. Now, the Series shifts to Philadelphia for Game 3 on Saturday night, with Cole Hamels set to start for the Phillies against fellow lefty Andy Pettitte. Three wins from a second consecutive championship, Philadelphia could wrap it up at home. Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins and crew can't wait to play before their fervent fans in the second-ever World Series game on Halloween. "We're back in our own ballpark. It's going to be hostile. It's going to be loud," Shane Victorino said. Nothing new, according to the Yankees. "Because of the team we are, we get booed and yelled at everywhere we go," Johnny Damon said. "Even coming off the train." (AP)
