Yankees - 200 020 003 - 7 9 1Way to go, Lidge.
Phillies - 100 100 110 - 4 8 1
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.

OK.....I guess? redsock, tell me the MFY won't win the series....please?
The MFY won't win the series.
thank you......
If I didn't know better, I'd think accudart was 9Casey...........
That would totally blow my mind.
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.
It would be really nice if more Phillies than just Jayson Werth would actually do some hitting tonight.
I'm gonna try Phillies radio tonight w/ ESPN Intl on TV. I can't deal with Sutcliffe.
Oh, this is a fuckin' great way to get it started
nice choice of pitcher there, gump jr.
And fucking blogger has renamed me again.
Fucking Blanton
... will ruiz take off his mask?
Oh fuck off umps
maybe CC can get tossed for a mistake up and in!
I don't think Blogger can give you a name you don't already have.
a DP would make me very happy.
No, it keeps switching me from "Kevin" to my G-mail account name
For no reason
Ugh, this is depressing. Although I feel as though I should say hello to the trolls.
6 batters, 11 pitches.
nice play, johnny
Hey, a runner in scoring position
There's one!
let's see some bat, howard.
I lost my internet connection right when Utley hit that. I thought he did it.
Come on, you assholes. Give Charleston Chew the gift of an early shower.
Fuck you Howard
good god, he looks worse than tek on those feeble cuts.
"kill" this rally, pls
Whatcha worried about, Joe? Aren't you planning on scoring more runs?
we want a hit!
Way to squander
made CC throw over XX pitches though
24 pitches for fatass
11 for blanton
made Blanton wait XX minutes.
Joe Buck pisses me off enough without talking about football during the baseball game.
Sit your ass down, Nick
Buck is notorious for that. Like Castig and college sports. Sorry, A. Even that might set you off.
The Phillies radio announcers are good. There's a huge delay but thank dog for MLB Audio.
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...
Don't fans vote on that?
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.
Possibly, I'm not sure. If they do, then those fans are assholes.
shit, I heard Jeter was up for the errin' award and I voted for him!
I was about to quote the Wiki site too. Fans have 30% of the vote.
Any award that uses fan voting is complete bullshit.
Yeah, it is a fan vote.
Bunch of bullshit...
Jeter was 21st in the AL in OPS.
Four Yankees were ahead of him: Teix, Slappy, Shemp, Cano
media vote?
also complete bullshit
Hank Aaron award on Wikipedia
jeter was 34th in slugging
.003 ahead of ortiz
If you care seriously about baseball, it's best not to pay too much attention to the awards.
In other news:
Jehovah won the Derek Jeter Award this year.
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.
Jeter: "hey, is feliz allowed to go to his left like that? i'm pretty sure that's against the rules!"
LOL
This sounds like the Rolaids Fireman of the Year Award. That had some crazy system.
Runs
Score them
jeter
2nd in hits
50th in HR
62nd in RBI
oh, well, now i see the light.
It happened with the Angels with Sean Figgins."
Grrr.
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.
If they do it a fourth time I'm telling mom
Phils announcers: Do they Yankees ever get a strike call and not complain?
grab some pine, dumbo
Idiot Posada barking at the ump. Don't catchers know not to do that?
Ha! Yankees are like Town Hall Republicans. Just complain about everything even though you have everything, in an attempt to get more.
Nice to see Blanton turn off the suckage.
Score runs
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.
after hitting bitch tits, blanton has retired 11 in a row.
Like Rush & Co complaining about the liberal media. Every last airwave and signal dominated by neocons complaining about the liberal media.
Why do they use a Castig call of a positive Yankee play on that ad?
Howard: wake up
A hit!
thanks
Howard actually did something!
good - now werth can dong in 2
WHEELZ!!!!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHA
Do not adjust your television set. Ryan Howard stole a base.
yeah!
Posada: "If I pretend to drop the ball no one can say I couldn't throw out Howard."
worst plan ever, Werth
Not exactly a productive out...
let's go, pedro!
dove over the plate?
TIE GAME.
!!!
WHEELS!
TIED!
who's your Feliz Navidaddy
never went back to touch the plate?
dugout was yelling at him.
also, nice short hop by damon!!!!
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.
Howard: Chris Chambliss '09.
It's the WS asshole. Get the very easy out.
Why aren't BcukCarver telling the world that Utley should have gotten one out on that play?
phils get a generous strike 2 there.
If you know you have know idea how to bunt a baseball, why are you so pissed when you fail?
Son of a bitch...
755. Number of bounces Jeter's two hits have taken before reaching outfield grass.
Head hit keyboard
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.
here comes the fuckin' bloop and bleeder brigade.
"but the Phillies just don't seem to have the pitching to get it done."
These aren't rockets!
Alright, Phuckers, get those runs back
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.
That's a start
phillies: don't make the daily news be right.
victorthree'n'0
i DEMAND runs
where the fuck's the crowd?
if not now, when?
Look at Jeter's incredible range to catch that popup!
C'mon, Kurt Cobain.
sound very very low for me, so not sure they mentioned it, but
ryan howard stole 8 bases in 9 tries this year??!!?
Goddammit.
werthless.
Phuck
I'd really love to know why the fuck blogger keeps changing my id back and forth.
keep squandering, no need to score now, you'll have plenty more chances later in the game.
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.
Tying run up, Philly fans. Start doing whatever it is you do.
4 batters, 7 pitches
way to make the fat man work
assholes
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?
If I had to drink every time Joe Buck said "Annnnnd" I'd be dead by the third inning.
"you sure would, ish."
Is the US in a war in Arizona too? It's hard to keep up with the invasions.
top of the order for PHI
Well Arizona is occupied territory...
A Philadelphia cop takes time out from bashing in brown people's heads to sing GBA.
Wow, FOX ISN'T showing that!
Well Arizona is occupied territory...
True
Wow, FOX ISN'T showing that!
The head-bashing or the singing?
Neither. They decided they wanted to make money by showing commercials.
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.
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!
LAUNCHED!!!
that had a pleasant elevation.
ok, within one assholes. maybe the crowd will stay awake now.
UTLEY
bye bye c c
how 'bout you tie this mofo, mr. howard?
start reapin' this freaky-assed harvest ...
you love that freaky-assed harvest thing, don't you. hopefully this phase will pass quickly.
Why can't Fox's cameras even focus on the correct outfielder making the catch?
g'night all
go not-the-yankees
Sit
another "line drive" for these fuckheads
fat man in a little coat...fat man in a lit-tle co-oat....
cunt time
It's cunt-pounding time
why are you swinging at that shit?
THE OTHER PEDRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE OTHER PEDRO!!!
VOTE FOR PEDRO!!!
ding DONGGGGG
shove that fist pump right up yer ass
K-LUTCH!
Sit
Sit your ass down, Cap'n Crunch.
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.

PH-rollins-victorino-utley-howard
WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!?!?!?
bear down lidge.
teix 1 for 14 in the WS
Still 1-14.
jesus -- alright, get the bluelipped one.
FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK
Or, ummm, the other ones.
2 outs, nothing going on, lidge spits up.
and Jeter cheered for it twice.
If I see any Phillie I will kill them.
Four Jeter slo-mo cheering replays.
PLANE CRASH
Phuckers
yet another 2 outs and no one on, and then 3 runs allowed inning.
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.
alright, fruitbat, blow your first 3-run post-season lead of your career.
a lidgeian inning so far.
Such shitty baseball.
I hate life
in no way do these fucktards deserve to win this series. yet i hope they somehow win 3 in a row and do.
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.
I believe.
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?
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...
