Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009

Although I'll take it, I don't expect a Yankee party tonight. Taking 2 down there suits me just fine - gives us a chance to win it at home, against Pedro "Who's Your Daddy?" Martinez.

Serves him right for pitching like crap in New York for my beloved Mets.

God, he did stink up Shea, didn't he - as though Shea needed help there. That's the kind of outing I hope for - 3 innings, 5 walkes, 2 hit-batsman, 6 hits, 8 runs.

Come on Phils take it back to NY...Hoping either AJ isn't as sharp on 3-days or the Phils can work some counts and get to their pen earlier. Being in Philly may help with that with no DH. Other than the surprising Marte, and obviously Rivera, I still think their pen is suspect (still not a diss

). I sincerely hope the Yankees have the chance to prove me wrong!

The Phillies got their hits last night, but not the timely hits they needed. Hopefully Howard found his stroke a little bit...at least he found contact last night!

You never know.
Anything is possible but A.J. has been sharp past outings on three days rest.
Then again, that could mean he is due for a bad one. But then again, so can Lee. I am on pins and needles already.

Yankees score another run. 3 runs down now.

MedicCook · 11-02-2009, 10:28 PM

Yankees make it a game in the 9th but the Phillies win game 5.

Going back to NY.

Great game... Back to NY!!! The last two games have been fantastic. This is why I love post season baseball

Nice win

Holy crap! That was a close one.

Finally the bats come alive, but where oh where is Ryan Howard at. The big guy has a day off to figure something out.

Chase Utley was determined to win this game if he had to do it all himself.

Good pitching by Lee. Yes, he's human, but he got the job done.

The bullpen is terrible. I think Lee should have been done after 7. It's sad they can't trust the pen with 2 innings and a 6 run lead.

Hat's off to the Yankees for making a run late. They are hitting the crap out of the ball and that's not good for the Phillies.

On to game six...

MedicCook · 11-02-2009, 10:43 PM

I would like to have seen A-Rod get an AB in the 9th tonight. Who would Charlie put in to pitch?

Back to NY!

I was surprised Manuel put Madson in the ninth....not that I disagreed with it, but he has incessantly gone back to Lidge over and over and over again. (sentence courtesy from the Department of Redundancy Department)

I have to give him credit, he didn't make the same mistake Fregosi made in '93 with Mitch Williams. Roger Mason pitched so well that series that people thought Fregosi should have made him the closer, me being one of them. Not that Madson is pitching that well (his velocity is way down) but Lidge's confidence is shot. Hopefully, given the opportunity, Manuel will stick to his guns and go to Madson, or someone else.
