Myth Busters
Joel Sherman tallies the myths broken in the current post season:
Weaver and Rogers were two of the worst pitchers in postseason history. Now look at them. It's as if Ed Whitson showed up as the ghost of Yankees past and started putting up ghost eggs; Rogers has 15 shutout innings this postseason, Weaver has a 2.16 ERA in three starts.
So the notion that Weaver and Rogers can't handle the postseason is the No. 1 myth busted this October.
Now that we believe both can pitch in October, we'll probably get a slugfest tonight.
