Answer 10 questions daily, compete for prizes. [4]

Mark Teixeira hit a game-tying home run off Pedro Martinez in the fourth, then Hideki Matsui gave the Yankees their first lead of the series with a blast off Martinez in the sixth, waking up the sleepy crowd of 50,181. [2]

A.J. Burnett joined an elite list of Yankees pitchers on Thursday becoming the third to throw seven-plus innings in the World Series with nine or more strikeouts while allowing four or fewer hits and one or fewer earned runs. [1]

Martinez turned back the clock with a stellar performance against his long-time rivals, holding the Yankees to three runs on six hits over six-plus innings, walking two and striking out eight, but it wasn’t enough to send the Phillies home with a commanding lead. [...] Burnett, who gave up four runs in the first inning against the Angles in his last start, retired the first five batters he faced, throwing first-pitch strikes to each one. [2]

Teixeira, in an 8-for-44 (.182) postseason slump, tied the score when he led off the fourth by driving a high changeup into the Yankees bullpen in right field. [1]

Burnett got his first win following three postseason no-decisions for the Yankees, allowing four hits in seven innings and retiring his last eight batters. [3]

Save for the occasional flecks of dirt noticeable during the opening title sequence, Broken Lizard’s Club Dread receives a top-notch transfer here. [1]

Club Dread (also known as Broken Lizard’s Club Dread) is a 2004 comedy /horror film, written by the comedy group Broken Lizard, who also created Super Troopers. [2]

Club Dread looks like something a band of stoned ex-Comedy Central staffers would come up with after one too many film nights and stand-up comedy routines. [1]

View company contact information for Club Dread on IMDbPro. [3]

While doing a crab dance, Jenny (Brittney Daniel), Lars (Kevin Heffernan), and Coconut Pete (Bill Paxton) discuss clues left by the killer. [4]

At first viewing of this comedy by Jay Chandrasekhar I dismissed it as a completely cheesy and off-the-wall spoof movie we have all seen many times already, and I was right! [3]

The movie proper starts off pretty cleverly with a flashback to an hour before the killing, when a fresh boatload of tourists arrive, and as the major characters are introduced, just about every one of them gets the classic slow-mo/ominous music zoom-in to establish them as a possible killer or red herring. [5]

With “Super Troopers” and Club Dread, Broken Lizard has cranked out two genuinely funny movies in a row.Read the full review [...] There will be better movies playing in the same theater, even if it is a duplex, but on the other hand there is something to be said for goofiness without apology by broken lizards who just wanna have fun.Read the full review [6]

This time it’s Bill Paxton, playing washed-up, Jimmy Buffet-esque rocker Coconut Pete, who runs an island resort with a suitably nubile, randy and none-too-bright staff. [5]

Not unlike their last film, Super Troopers, the comedy team Broken Lizard (seemingly trying to brand themselves as the new National Lampoon) puts themselves in all the starring roles here and brings on one real actor to anchor the thing. [1]

When a serial killer interrupts the fun at the swanky Coconut Pete’s Coconut Beach Resort — a hedonistic island paradise for swingers — it’s up to the club’s staff to stop the violence… or at least hide it! [3]

The opening overhead shots of the island were actually clips lifted from Danny Boyle ’s film The Beach. [...] The staff also have to try to avoid becoming the next victim, as the killer can only be one of them. [2]

Jenny (Brittany Daniel) and Yu (Lindsay Price) are impressed with Lars’ (Kevin Heffernan) back massage skills. [4]

During his postseason career, Andy Pettitte has posted a 3.83 ERA and.640 winning percentage. [1]

Andrew Eugene Pettitte (born June 15, 1972 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana) is an American left-handed starting pitcher for the New York Yankees. [2]

New York Yankees starting pitcher Andy Pettitte almost became a member of the Philadelphia Phillies in 1999. [3]

It is also what compelled Yankees general manager Brian Cashman to fly to Texas from baseball’s Winter Meetings in Las Vegas last December 11, one day after he had locked up free agent ace CC Sabathia, in order to try to persuade Pettitte to return to the Yankees’ rotation, to be its glue. [1]

That would not be the case in the World Series, as Pettitte would start Game 3 and then turn around to start Game 6 on just three days rest. [4]

New York Yankees starting pitcher Andy Pettitte laughs as he leaves the batting cage during practice at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia Friday, Oct. 30, 2009. [5]

Andy Pettitte carries big smile as he appears relaxed for Game 3 start in Philadelphia. [6]

When the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Yankees play Game 3 of the World Series on Saturday night, Hamels will try to beat one of his boyhood heroes. [5]

Bot now we’ve got Hamels, who was largely unspectacular during the regular season at 10-11 with a 4.32 ERA and has followed that up by going 1-1 with a 6.97 ERA in three postseason starts against the likes of the Rockies and Dodgers, teams that don’t hold a candle to the Yankees offensively. [7]

The 37-year-old earned his 16th postseason win in the ALCS clincher against the Los Angeles Angels, breaking a tie with John Smoltz. [5]

PHILADELPHIA - Andy Pettitte isn’t the type to reflect on his career achievements, but his teammates have made it difficult for the lefthander to forget that he’s only the second pitcher in history to take part in eight World Series. [6]

But the deal included up to $6.5 million in performance incentives and roster bonuses, and Pettitte, who made 32 regular season starts and went 14-8 with a 4.16 ERA, achieved nearly all of them. [1]

Andy Pettitte also pitched the Deer to within one win of the state title. [2]

Overall, Pettitte was 14-8 with a 4.16 ERA this year. [5]

This has come one year after Hamels was unbelievable in helping the Phillies to their first World Series crown since 1980. [7]
