WS4: Yankees 7, Phillies 4

Yankees  - 200 020 003 - 7  9  1
Phillies - 100 100 110 - 4 8 1
Way to go, Lidge.
Example
CC Sabathia (G1: 7-4-2-3-6, 113) / Joe Blanton (4.05, 106 ERA+)

Did you know that Sabathia has a higher career slugging percentage (.391) than the mighty Melky Cabrera (.385)?

Well, there's a lot, a lot of reasons why the Phillies have to win tonight's game.

  5. 9casey would have quoted the original with a big space between it and his comment.

    Is anyone else watching the pre-game on MLBN? The Philly park is playing that Jay-Z/Alicia Keys New York song! I know it's Yankees batting practice, but, still, how about...not doing that?

    Lee says he would have pitched tonight if Manuel had asked him. Instead, Lee will face Burnett (on 3 days rest) in G5.

    ReplyDelete
  8. It would be really nice if more Phillies than just Jayson Werth would actually do some hitting tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I'm gonna try Phillies radio tonight w/ ESPN Intl on TV. I can't deal with Sutcliffe.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Oh, this is a fuckin' great way to get it started

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  14. maybe CC can get tossed for a mistake up and in!

    ReplyDelete
  15. I don't think Blogger can give you a name you don't already have.

    ReplyDelete
  16. a DP would make me very happy.

    ReplyDelete
  17. No, it keeps switching me from "Kevin" to my G-mail account name

    For no reason

    ReplyDelete
  18. Ugh, this is depressing. Although I feel as though I should say hello to the trolls.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Hey, a runner in scoring position

    ReplyDelete
  20. I lost my internet connection right when Utley hit that. I thought he did it.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Come on, you assholes. Give Charleston Chew the gift of an early shower.

    ReplyDelete
  22. good god, he looks worse than tek on those feeble cuts.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Whatcha worried about, Joe? Aren't you planning on scoring more runs?

    ReplyDelete
  24. made CC throw over XX pitches though

    ReplyDelete
  25. 24 pitches for fatass
    11 for blanton

    ReplyDelete
  26. made Blanton wait XX minutes.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Joe Buck pisses me off enough without talking about football during the baseball game.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Buck is notorious for that. Like Castig and college sports. Sorry, A. Even that might set you off.

    ReplyDelete
  29. The Phillies radio announcers are good. There's a huge delay but thank dog for MLB Audio.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Can someone explain to me just how the FUCK Jeter won the AL Hank Aaron Award this year? Have these assholes never heard of Joe Mauer?

    Hell, Jeter's not even the most deserving of that award on his own team...

    ReplyDelete
  31. wiki:
    The Hank Aaron Award is given annually to the Major League Baseball (MLB) players selected as the top hitter in each league, as voted on by baseball fans and members of the media.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Possibly, I'm not sure. If they do, then those fans are assholes.

    ReplyDelete
  33. shit, I heard Jeter was up for the errin' award and I voted for him!

    ReplyDelete
  34. I was about to quote the Wiki site too. Fans have 30% of the vote.

    Any award that uses fan voting is complete bullshit.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Yeah, it is a fan vote.

    Bunch of bullshit...

    ReplyDelete
  36. Jeter was 21st in the AL in OPS.

    Four Yankees were ahead of him: Teix, Slappy, Shemp, Cano

    ReplyDelete
  37. media vote?
    also complete bullshit

    ReplyDelete
  38. jeter was 34th in slugging
    .003 ahead of ortiz

    ReplyDelete
  39. If you care seriously about baseball, it's best not to pay too much attention to the awards.

    ReplyDelete
  40. In other news:

    Jehovah won the Derek Jeter Award this year.

    ReplyDelete
  41. From above link:

    "For the 1999 season, a winner was selected using an objective points system. Hits, home runs, and runs batted in (RBI) were given certain point values and the winner was the player who had the highest tabulated points total."

    Oy.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Jeter: "hey, is feliz allowed to go to his left like that? i'm pretty sure that's against the rules!"

    ReplyDelete
  43. This sounds like the Rolaids Fireman of the Year Award. That had some crazy system.

    ReplyDelete
  44. jeter

    2nd in hits
    50th in HR
    62nd in RBI

    oh, well, now i see the light.

    ReplyDelete
  45. It happened with the Angels with Sean Figgins."

    Grrr.

    ReplyDelete
  46. It's like there are two different games of baseball going on all the time. A pop-commercial-entertainment game and an actual sport, and the two exist in parallel universes that never meet.

    ReplyDelete
  47. If they do it a fourth time I'm telling mom

    ReplyDelete
  48. Phils announcers: Do they Yankees ever get a strike call and not complain?

    ReplyDelete
  49. Idiot Posada barking at the ump. Don't catchers know not to do that?

    ReplyDelete
  50. Ha! Yankees are like Town Hall Republicans. Just complain about everything even though you have everything, in an attempt to get more.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Nice to see Blanton turn off the suckage.

    Score runs

    ReplyDelete
  52. thwen dumbo can complain when that same pitch is called a ball for a phillie, thereby admitting that it was a strike to him after all.

    ReplyDelete
  53. after hitting bitch tits, blanton has retired 11 in a row.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Like Rush & Co complaining about the liberal media. Every last airwave and signal dominated by neocons complaining about the liberal media.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Why do they use a Castig call of a positive Yankee play on that ad?

    ReplyDelete
  56. good - now werth can dong in 2

    ReplyDelete
  57. Do not adjust your television set. Ryan Howard stole a base.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Posada: "If I pretend to drop the ball no one can say I couldn't throw out Howard."

    ReplyDelete
  59. never went back to touch the plate?
    dugout was yelling at him.

    also, nice short hop by damon!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  60. Howard still hasn't touched home plate. Heh.

    If I were him I'd jokingly walk out to home plate on my way out and stomp on it.

    ReplyDelete
  61. It's the WS asshole. Get the very easy out.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Why aren't BcukCarver telling the world that Utley should have gotten one out on that play?

    ReplyDelete
  63. phils get a generous strike 2 there.

    ReplyDelete
  64. If you know you have know idea how to bunt a baseball, why are you so pissed when you fail?

    ReplyDelete
  65. 755. Number of bounces Jeter's two hits have taken before reaching outfield grass.

    ReplyDelete
  66. I never thought I'd say this going into the WS, but the Phillies just don't seem to have the pitching to get it done.

    ReplyDelete
  67. here comes the fuckin' bloop and bleeder brigade.

    ReplyDelete
  68. "but the Phillies just don't seem to have the pitching to get it done."

    These aren't rockets!

    ReplyDelete
  69. Alright, Phuckers, get those runs back

    ReplyDelete
  70. But when you look at the next matchups, it's looking pretty good for the Phillies to make it to Game 7, with Chuck Norris against Cletus and Pedro against Horseface... If the Phils come back and win they should be in good shape the rest of the way then.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Look at Jeter's incredible range to catch that popup!

    ReplyDelete
  72. sound very very low for me, so not sure they mentioned it, but

    ryan howard stole 8 bases in 9 tries this year??!!?

    ReplyDelete
  73. I'd really love to know why the fuck blogger keeps changing my id back and forth.

    ReplyDelete
  74. keep squandering, no need to score now, you'll have plenty more chances later in the game.

    ReplyDelete
  75. I'm sitting here rooting for Yankee injuries all this time, and I finally get one and it's Melky? That's like winning the "free ticket" prize on a scratch-off.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Tying run up, Philly fans. Start doing whatever it is you do.

    ReplyDelete
  77. 4 batters, 7 pitches

    way to make the fat man work

    assholes

    ReplyDelete
  78. Anybody else see the NFL on FOX from Afghanistan thing for next week (the football pre-post game shows from Afghanistan) and just laugh?

    If I wanted to see them covered in dirt why not send them to Arizona?

    ReplyDelete
  79. If I had to drink every time Joe Buck said "Annnnnd" I'd be dead by the third inning.

    ReplyDelete
  80. Is the US in a war in Arizona too? It's hard to keep up with the invasions.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Well Arizona is occupied territory...

    ReplyDelete
  82. A Philadelphia cop takes time out from bashing in brown people's heads to sing GBA.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Well Arizona is occupied territory...

    True

    ReplyDelete
  84. Wow, FOX ISN'T showing that!

    The head-bashing or the singing?

    ReplyDelete
  85. Neither. They decided they wanted to make money by showing commercials.

    ReplyDelete
  86. One cool thing about the "international feed" is that they don't always go to commercials when you expect them to, like during pitching changes.

    Come to think of it, that's the only cool thing. That, and it's not Fox.

    ReplyDelete
  87. I definitely agree with you about how Dave O'Brien's IQ and broadcasting value goes down depending on who his partner is.

    Sut? YUCK.


    Slippery Dong!

    ReplyDelete
  88. that had a pleasant elevation.

    ReplyDelete
  89. ok, within one assholes. maybe the crowd will stay awake now.

    ReplyDelete
  90. how 'bout you tie this mofo, mr. howard?

    start reapin' this freaky-assed harvest ...

    ReplyDelete
  91. you love that freaky-assed harvest thing, don't you. hopefully this phase will pass quickly.

    ReplyDelete
  92. Why can't Fox's cameras even focus on the correct outfielder making the catch?

    ReplyDelete
  93. another "line drive" for these fuckheads

    ReplyDelete
  94. fat man in a little coat...fat man in a lit-tle co-oat....

    ReplyDelete
  95. why are you swinging at that shit?

    ReplyDelete
  96. THE OTHER PEDRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  97. shove that fist pump right up yer ass

    ReplyDelete
  98. Sit your ass down, Cap'n Crunch.

    ReplyDelete
  99. looks like coke in the 9th? he's up now

    is girardi saving mo until they have a lead? which they might not get a chance to have, if coke goes flat.

  101. bear down lidge.

    teix 1 for 14 in the WS

    ReplyDelete
  102. jesus -- alright, get the bluelipped one.

    ReplyDelete
  103. 2 outs, nothing going on, lidge spits up.

    ReplyDelete
  104. and Jeter cheered for it twice.

    If I see any Phillie I will kill them.

    ReplyDelete
  105. Four Jeter slo-mo cheering replays.

    PLANE CRASH

    ReplyDelete
  106. yet another 2 outs and no one on, and then 3 runs allowed inning.

    ReplyDelete
  107. Game of millimeters. Damon got as tiny a bit of a foul-tip as you can get with 2 outs to just stay alive. Then all that happened.

    ReplyDelete
  108. alright, fruitbat, blow your first 3-run post-season lead of your career.

    ReplyDelete
  109. in no way do these fucktards deserve to win this series. yet i hope they somehow win 3 in a row and do.

    ReplyDelete
  110. Just as long as the Phillies don't get overcome by the fact they are down 3g to 1, it is a very, very real possibility to push to a Game 7.

    Sounds simple to me. Cliff Lee continues to be Cliff Lee, out-pitches Cletus, then Pedro goes up against Tucan... That is the biggest question mark. And since this is the World Series, you get to Game 7 and ANYTHING can happen and everyone's available.

    Gearing up for another epic Yankee collapse.

    ReplyDelete
  111. I definitely believe. Realistically the Phillies really couldn't win the series if Cliff Lee lost a game, so if he loses tomorrow, then that's just the way it goes and that's that. But he's their guy and he's going to come up big.

    I love how people are now second-guessing Charlie Manuel for not pitching Lee tonight. Well, Pedro's not going on 3-days rest so there's no 3-man rotation here. Had Lee pitched tonight he most likely would have won and the series would be tied, but then Blanton would pitch Game 5 against Cletus and probably would have gotten beaten anyways, which would put Philly in the same spot as they will be anyways after tomorrow night - Down 3-2 in the series.

    (psst. Molina in the lineup catching Cletus too. Maybe no Melky also w/the hamstring strain.)

    Game 6 would still have Pedro and Pettitte, which is a toss-up but advantage Pedro.

    The only difference between throwing Lee tonight instead of tomorrow: He could then start Game 7, but he'll be available in the bullpen anyways with there being no tomorrow. The beauty of WS7.

    The two questions: Does something freaky happen tomorrow? And if not, can Pedro match or better his G2 performance on Wednesday?

    ReplyDelete
  112. Sorry to have missed that last two game threads, but my daughter and SIL were here so we watched with them (well, not so much our daughter). Maybe the results will be better if I thread during tonight's game...
