'Daddy' sends Pedro packin'

"How do you say "Who's Your Daddy?" in Japanese?

Hideki Matsui spanked Pedro Martinez last night in the Yankees' 7-3 Game 6 victory that ended the World Series and the Phillies' hopes of repeating as champs.

The 38-year old Phillies pitcher couldn't duplicate his magnificent Game 2 performance thanks in large part to Matsui, the World Series MVP, who had four of his six RBIs against Martinez.

Martinez left the Phillies clubhouse before it was open to the media. Several reporters, as well as an intoxicated Yankees fan, tracked him down in a hallway underneath Yankee Stadium.

"I didn't get the performance I wanted and we ended up losing the game," Martinez said. "I'm extremely proud and I had fun. I enjoyed it and I don't regret anything."

The "Who's Your Daddy?" chants started as soon as Martinez took the mound and fans throughout the stands held up posters from yesterday's Post with Martinez in diapers.

Martinez lasted four innings, and it was surprising Phillies manager Charlie Manuel left the right-hander in that long.

After cruising through the first inning, Martinez led off the second by walking Alex Rodriguez. Matsui then had the at-bat of the night. He fouled off three pitches in an eight-pitch at-bat that ended when he deposited an 89-mph fastball into the right-field seats to make it 2-0."
