It's been getting pulled over something controversial at the end.

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

That's what the A's said in 1990, yet the Reds swept 'em.;)

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

Well, the real Cole Hamels showed up tonight.

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

Good game so far. Took a couple innings for the Yankees to find a groove.

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

7-4 Yankees after a Posada RBI single.

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

Matsuiiiii!!!!! What a Shot!

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

Great PH Home Run by Godzilla!

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

Man does Ryan Howard look bad or what? And I'm not talking about his nose.:D

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

He has 9K's now in 3 games I think.

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

Yankees are 3 outs from taking a 2-1 series lead.

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

Phillies make it a 3 run game. Here comes MO!!

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

Yankees Win!!

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

That should bring the Phillies back down to earth! Looks liking Jimmy "Nostradamus" Rollins was wrong. Go Yankees!

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

Yankees win!!!

So....we can say adios to the Phillies in 4.
We can say adios to the Phillies in 5.
Next, lets say adios to the Phillies in 6 tomorrow.

Seems like the Yankees bullpen showed up for the game whereas the Phillies didn't.

What a shocker to Phillies fans. The Phillies are human. Go figure.

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

This was a big game. It takes away the homefield advantage the Phillies obtained with the win in game 1.

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

Theeeeeeeeeeeeee Yankees win! :banger

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

Huge win for the Yankees.
CC should be good tomorrow too.
We may go back to NYC up 3-2 which would be sweet.

Go Bombers

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

Classic Yankees baseball with everyone stepping up.

Did you guys hear Jeter on the audio clip joking about how they're gonna have to listen to Andy Petit brag all year about his hit?:D

Still a lot of baseball to be played, but like game 2 was a must win for the Yanks, I would have to say tonight is a must win for Philly.

CC is seeking redemption and A-Rod may have woken up, so I like the Yankees in 6.

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

Pete,
How amazing was that with Petit?
I was listening to the game on the radio while on the way back home and when he came up to bat, I told my wife, that is out number 2.
He gets a hit and drives in a run to help his own cause. An AL pitcher that mostly sees the bat when being swung at one of his pitches.
That was neat!!!

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

I can't remember the game, but remember seeing Petit putting one over the left field wall.

I wouldn't put him in as a DH, but he showed he can hit the ball.

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

Pivotal game tonight!!

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

Couldn't agree more.
However, the pressure has shifted from that of game two.
All the pressure is now on Phillie to win.
If the Yankees win, the Phillies will be a fork away from being done.

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

:tpd:
The fat lady would be clearing her throat. :D

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

After watching Boston come back down 3 games to the Yankees a few years ago, I'm very slow to call a series over until the final out of the 9th inning of the 4th win.

Just the same, I'm still picking the Yankees and put my 5er on them.

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

Go Phillies!!

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

Indeed. I don't expect Philly to roll over and die and hope to see the series carry on a bit more so we can celebrate number 27 at home.

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

Howard had better wake up...nine Ks doesn't cut it!!

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

Big big game tonight...Let's go Phils!!!

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

If Howard doesn't get out of his funk soon, things will be tough. I know he strikes out a lot, but damn!

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

Three more Ks and he owns the all time record for strikeouts in the WS.

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

CC "sweated" through the last inning...if the Phils can get to him.

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

Just keep pushing his pitch count...getting to him would be better though. :D

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

Howard stealing 2nd... classic!

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

Then he misses home plate entirely and is called safe. :(

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

Another missed call, he never touched the plate!

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

Nice to see Howard get a hit. Stealing 2nd was key though...Werth's ball would have been a double play.

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

Yeah, I'm not sure how the home plate ump missed that one :confused:

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

he lives in West Chester, PA

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

Utley sure has CC's number.
Another dinger. :mad:

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

Tie ballgame :banger

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

Yankees had a nice game going until Joba gave up the HR.

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

Yankees take the lead on an A-Rod double then get two more runs on a Posada single.
3 run lead going into the bottom of the 9th with Mo coming in.

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

Wow! That may have been the fatal blow.

Your seeing all of the Phils' weaknesses in this game.....not enough hitting, too many solo homers, bad bad bad closing pitching.

The Yankees keep coming up big.....good for them.

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

Theeeeeeeeeeee Yankees win. Only one win away now :D

Yesterday we got the real Cole Hamels, tonight we got the real Brad Lidge :banger

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

Well, that fat lady may be warming up.

No more Phillies in 4.
No more Phillies in 5.
No more Phillies in 6.

Here are the choices left:
Phillies in 7
Yankees in 5
Yankees in 6
Yankees in 7

I like those odds.:D

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

Regardless of who I was going to root for, I would not have made a bet against the Yankess. :2

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

Big Win for the Yankees to come back after the Phillies tie the game. They have now also beaten the closer in each postseason series.

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

Nice win for the Yankees. Backs against the wall big time now.

The Phils biggest weakness of the year reared its ugly head tonight.

It was a hell of a baseball game though.

Re: Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009
 

That was tough. What a great game though. Wish the Phils would have pulled it off, but again...hat's off to the Yankees. Good win!

Time to reload for tomorrow. Hopefully Lee will work the same game 1 magic and the rest of the guys will remember what to do when they get the bat in their hands.
