philly.com - Welcome to today's sports chat with Josh Barnett. We'll be talking Phils-Yanks and other sports topics from 1:00 to 2:00. You can enter your questions at any time.

1:03	[Comment From Tom] Is anyone else concerned about starting Pedro in The Bronx? All of the "Whos your Daddy? stuff would come back. I feel it has to go Lee, Hamels, Pedro, Blanton (or Lee on short rest if we are down 2-1 or 3-0).

Josh Barnett -

I think it will be Hamels in Game 2. I know Charlie is not saying, but despite his struggles this postseason, you have to put him out there and see what happens. You hope Lee takes you deep into the game in Game 1, as he has in his other postseason starts, so you have good backup for Hamels in Happ, Blanton, etc.

1:05	Josh Barnett - As we get going here, feel free to ask Eagles-Redskins questions too, or Flyers or Sixers. Does not have to be all Phillies, but it can be

1:05	[Comment From Debbie] The weather report for Wednesday is not good. How do you think this affects the Phillies?

1:08	Josh Barnett - I would think the move would be to then eliminate the off day between Games 2 and 3 when the series shifts to Philadelphia. If that happened, you would not be able to use Cliff Lee in Game 4. But the Yankees would not be able to use Sabathia in that spot, either

1:08	[Comment From Rub] Who you think is going to DH for the Phils?

1:09	Josh Barnett - Ibanez makes the most sense to me. I know he says he is not hurt, but Ben Francisco has proved himself to be a good outfielder (see the catch in Colorado) and he is hitting the ball.

1:10	[Comment From Dan] Rollins-Jeter, Howard-Texeria, Utley-Cano, Feliz-Arod, Werth Victorino lbanez - Cabrera Damon Swisher.....Who do you think the 9 positions favor the most?

1:12	Josh Barnett - That is a great question. Paul Hagen’s scouting report in Wednesday’s massive World Series preview section will answer that in great depth. I think the Yankees have at least 5 on a quick glance.
