The New York Yankees are chasing championship No. 27 by throwing their top pitchers on three days' rest.

With a chance to clinch the crown, A.J. Burnett is scheduled to start on short rest against Philadelphia ace Cliff Lee in Game 5 of the World Series on Monday night.

CC Sabathia went on three days' rest Sunday night in Game 4, and Andy Pettitte could do the same in Game 6 if the Series...

For the second consecutive year, Joe Blanton is on the mound for Game 4 of the World Series. The Yankees counter with CC Sabathia on short rest.

Joe Posnanski is blogging the action.

CC Sabathia actually likes starting on three days' rest. "I hate to throw bullpens," the New York Yankees big man said.

"I don't have to throw a bullpen when I pitch on three days' rest." Sabathia will throw on short rest for the second time this postseason when he starts Game 4 of the World Series on Sunday night against Philadelphia's Joe Blanton.

Look out for Cliff Lee, Chase Utley and this New Red Machine. Lee outdueled CC Sabathia, Utley homered twice and the Philadelphia Phillies kept rolling through October, beating the New York Yankees 6-1 on a misty Wednesday night in the World Series opener.

Chase Utley homered off CC Sabathia in the third inning, and the defending champion Philadelphia Phillies took a 1-0 lead over the New York Yankees in Wednesday night's World Series opener.

Cliff Lee, matched up against his former Cleveland Indians teammate, limited New York to two hits over the first three innings and struck out four as the World Series returned to New York for the first time...

After making the playoffs in 2008, for the first time since 1982, it seemed the bar had finally been raised for the Milwaukee Brewers.

It seems that simply finishing .500 was no longer the goal, and that this was a team headed to the playoffs or bust.

While sluggers Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder had exceptional, special season, everything else about the Brewer was a big disappointment.

In late July they had a two game lead in the National League Central, their pitching woes finally caught up to them.

Alex Rodriguez homered in the third straight game of his outstanding postseason, CC Sabathia pitched eight resilient innings of five-hit ball on short rest, and the New York Yankees beat the Los Angeles Angels 10-1 last night to take a commanding 3-1 lead in the AL championship series.

The Yankees are one win from their 40th World Series. Alex Rodriguez and CC Sabathia again led the way as the Yanks drilled the Angels 10-1 to seize a 3-1 series lead in the ALCS.
