He outdueled the great Bob Gibson, who won games 1 and 4, in game 7. Gibson also pitched complete games in all three starts.

Back to your question. Yes, but not anymore. They baby the pitchers these days.

Don't be surprised to see Hamels come back on short rest if the Phils are in trouble, but I'm sure they won't be.....

Thanks for the answer! It will be a very good series I believe & I am SERIOUSLY considering driving to Tampa next week when the games come back to FL... do you know a good place to watch it in Tampa?

I dont feel much WS excitement in Ocala right now...

About your last sentence...
