If NYY gave a rat's ass why was Wright starting instead of Mussina? Didn't Torre pull his starters after 4 or 5 inn.? Check the lineups for other teams out of it I'm sure you'll see the same thing.

You have to weigh your options - they are assured a playoff spot so use your good starter in Game 1 instead of Game 4. He would have also been working on short rest.
As for pulling the players, Jeter got hurt and I believe they were down by 7 or 8 when everyone else came out.
And Showalter pulled his stars so they could "get a round of applause"...not for the team's benefit.
