Pedro did reasonably during the part of the regular season he did play, 5-1 in 10 starts evidently, so if he wants to return I think he'd have a chance... he just struggles against the Yankees evidently, particularly in their park -- evidently even before this, he hadn't gotten a win in a playoff game in Yankee Stadium (new or old) despite having like five starts there before this year.
But yes, it was too bad, I was hoping the Phillies could come back and win it... partially because I always badly want the Yankees to lose, but also because my mom's from eastern Pennsylvania and I still have some relatives there, I don't know if they grew up Phillies fans (my grandfather's from the western part of the state I think, so he probably started as a Pirates fan), but close enough for me to have a slight interest at least. :)
Oh yeah, and yes, there's always something wrong with the Yankees winning a World Series, darnit. They're the Yankees. I don't need any more reason than that (but I could also mention that this is their 27th victory... out of the 107 World Serieses that have been held... that's way too many. :))
