Finally my yanks are back in the series... Big game andy came through last night...i see this series going 6 with the Yanks winning and bringing home #27..

Let's go Phillies!!!

Let's go Phillies!!!

what the mother fuck:mad::mad::eyecrazy:eyecrazy

he's a raider fan, man... be happy for him.

They're my home team man.. gotta root for them to repeat! To tell you the truth though, I'm not much of a baseball fan. I wouldn't have even watched the WS if the Angels woulda beat the Yanks.. But w/ NY playing Philly that makes it interesting.

I say Yanks in 5

Lets go Phillies!!

PHILLIES in SIX.

I previously mentioned that i'm in Yankees territory (only 10 miles from Yankee Stadium), so the Yanks winning the WS would be hell. Only good that would come out of them winning would be my boy Swish getting a ring.

Come back home to Oakland soon, Swish. :(

Let's go Yankees in 6!! I say Sabathia get's 2 wins so he will be the only pitcher in MLB history to win 5 games in the post season!!
Mischa.

Mischa.Gonna be hard for CC to get the win when everyone knows that Cliff Lee will get the win and they will indeed start against each other, ;)

Lets Go Phillies

I actually am hoping the Yanks don't use Sabbathia on short rest. Doing that, means Pettite and Burnett will also have to be used on short rest -- not a good idea, imo. I'd rather use Gaudin vs Blanton and wait for the football score to popped up on the board and hope we can just outscore them.

The Yankees hit Cliff Lee well, on the other hand the Phillies also hit CC well so it will be a great series.

The Yanks own Pedro though.

WHO'S YOUR DADDY I still can't believe he is pitching him at our stadium the fans are going to rip him once he screws up. It will be nice to hear that again ha ha ha!!
Mischa.

The shitty weather is supposed to be moved out by game time...

GO YANKS!!!!

Mischa.I guess he won't get ripped then as he surely will not screw up,Those fans should look in the mirror when they ask that question"WHO'S YOUR DADDY" mimicking their everyday lives is just too sad :crying:

The shitty weather is supposed to be moved out by game time...

GO YANKS!!!!Could be a mud fest we just got about an inch and a half of constant rain and more expected through the day, it just might look like a good ole fashion baseball game, :)

GO PHILLIES

yanks in 6

go yankees

yanks in 6

go yankees

:haha::lol::haha:

I see this as a 7-gamer with both teams getting splits on the road. I know CC has been on but the Phils won't be surprised since they saw him last year, same with Lee. I see this as a hitters series in the long run. As to who wins, no real idea here. Teams are very evenly matched and are getting a lot of clutch hitting. Here is my wild card, this is the first WS dance for the likes of Tex/ARod/Swish and while Arod has been great, I could see him tighten up. On the flip side, Howard/Werth/Victorino/Rollins all seem to love the big moment more than anyone I have seen in this sport in a long time. That could be the difference one way or another, but I won't call a prediction.

Nice to see tha two best teams of this year slug it out... Phils in 7

Crystal ball says Ryan Howard will hit a 3 run homer in the top of eighth to give Phils the World Chapmpionship in game 7!

Utley goes yard ftw!

Finally my yanks are back in the series... Big game andy came through last night...i see this series going 6 with the Yanks winning and bringing home #27..

I bet on 6 Yanks.....

Cliff Lee you are the Man 5 to 0 Phillies top of the 9th inning two players on and 1 out

YANKEES LOSE!!!!
:banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:

i have a feeling the who's your daddy chants will be louder than ever and will get his jerry curl dripping in his eyes

I doubt that very much, in case you haven't noticed The New Improved Pedro is a pretty laid back , cool cat right now and really fits in with his teammates rather well something he didn't have any where else he pitched, basically he was alienated by his former teammates and right now he is about as level headed as a pro athlete can get.
Welcome to Philadelphia Pedro, glad you could join us for another World Series Championship.
Who's your Daddy, I love that statement, I am pretty sure that after last nights game NY knows exactly who the Daddy isCliff Leeno doubt.
I thought it was rather sad to see more than 1/3 of the so called Yankee fans leave between the 6th and 7th inning that was all they were talking about on all sports talk nationwide, some fan base , any game in Philly win or lose has 150% fan support till the end, no matter what !I liked it though as I finally got to see what 5000.00 dollar seats look like, they are blue,lol.

I saw the fans leaving early also...the majority of the people in the stands aren't Yankee fans, the tickets are bought by large corporations and special interests..you're average fan cannot afford a World Series ticket...

Great pitching performance last night by Lee....

I was saying the same thing. If I paid that much to go to a world Series game I would not care if my team was losing. It's a world series game ya know. Last year my husband and I went to Philly vs. Tampa in Tampa for game one we stayed til the end and got a TON of WS cups that we sold on Ebay for a KILLING!! I doubt anyone would leave anything like that in NY but if they did we would have gotten a bunch of them and made a ton of $$$ on ya know!! Put it this way the stack of cups was taller than I am and I'm 5'5" ha ha ha. We also got to get a picture by the ESPN guys as well since we were in the outfield.

As for game 2 both starters pitched well enough to win the game it was another dominating performance by both Burnett & Martinez both of them kept there team in the game!! Just like Lee & Sabathia who were dominant as well it was really 2 home runs that did the 2 starters in.
Mischa.

Nice to see Burnett be dominant again. He was throwing smoke last night, everything around 94-95mph, when he's been around 92-94mph before this start. First pitch strikes were key, something he rarely does.

Pettite vs Hamels in game 3. Shaping up to be a great Series.

yup and i love our chances against cole..he is a shell of himslef from last yr...and andy is well andy..the best big game post season pitcher of all time....

I think we ended up with the two best teams in the series but Philadelphia will be lucky to win more than one more game in my opinion. I expect Texeira and Jeter each to have an outstanding series and the Yankee pitching to be excellent.

It is easy to be dominant when the strike zone is twice as wide as usual the umpires did a terrible job all around last night, and no I am not throwing out any excuses as the Yankees did hit Homers which wins games but all in all the Umps sucked once again , for both sides.
I hope the game is called somewhat better the rest of the way , it really needs to be to be the best games possible or why bother with a championship at all , we could just name the winner now.

i agree with you ,but aj was on his game last night wide strike zone or not. baseball needs to step up and get replays on all plays or at least plays that could change the out come of a game.we again saw 2 bad calls. it would be very easy to put another umpire in the booth. as fast as fox can show a replay the umpire in the booth can make the call,it doesn't have to take as along as the nfl takes to view a play. that short hop to howard last night , how the hell does the first base umpire call that one. it was a bang bang play ,but still a case and point for replays. next inning the dp play goes aganist philly, clearly the runners safe. i'm a big yankee fan and love when bad calls go in the there favor,but still i'm for replays. we have seen replays for years now the ''human element'' just doesn't wash anymore. beside the umpire calls have been really bad this year ,there missing easy calls.

MLB is going to have to get some instant replay in. Every game the officials/MLB look silly when the replays of bad calls get shown over and over. Calling pitches at the plate is one thing since the strike zone is somewhat "alive" and there are so many pitches thrown there's just no way to make it work, but you have to at least get the other calls right. It's not like there are that many times they would have to use it. Most plays are very easy calls.

2-1 Yanks, after a rough start for pettite he settled down and came through like he always does in the playoffs...and to the previous posts about fans leaving yankee stadium early, well i saw a lot of empty seats behind home and down 3rd and 1st baselines toward the end of the game...guesss philly fans arent the loyal fanatic fans as was previously posted.....


2 more W's for #27

mixed feelings with Sabbathia going on short rest tonight. yanks have the lead, why not let Gaudin go against Blanton? Pettite talked about being gassed most of the night -- and it showed, as he struggled with his command quite a bit. If they expect him to go on short rest in game 6, how's he going to feel then? Everyone would benefit from the extra rest a game 4 Gaudin start would give.


Oh and congrats to my man Swish for coming back from the dead!!!

Unless it's just known Cliff Lee can't pitch on three days rest I'd have to give him the start tonight. You can't go down 3-1. A nice rested ace isn't much good then.

i disagree, throw sabathia tongiht and take that 3-1 lead...pettite is gassed b/c he is 40 yrs old, we know cc can go on short rest and dominate, then have burnett go and lock it up...

which means burnett goes on short rest. if he doesn't get it done, then pettite goes on short rest. and if there is a game 7, cc goes on short rest AGAIN... i don't like it.

Wow that was some heads up play by Johnny Damon stealing 2 bags in one play. That was the turning point of the night. Why was Lidge not covering 3rd is beside me. I was thinking why is he running towards 3rd I did not realize that no one was covering. I was listening to my broadcast though had fox on mute and John Sterling said there is no one on 3rd base and I was like oh wow. Who would have known what would have happened if we went to the bottom of the 9th tied. 1 game to go I still think Lee is going to be dominant again and we will win game 6 at home!!
Mischa.

What the heck was Lidge doing throwing all of those fastballs, especially to AROD?????

Brad Lidge AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAh..what a joke he is...1 more to #27

What the heck was Lidge doing throwing all of those fastballs, especially to AROD?????


I think once Damon reached third base he was a bit more reluctant to throw his slider for fear of a wild pitch scoring the run. that's the only thing i could think of. I know Burnett gets that way with his power curve when runners are on third (especially when he's throwing to Posada).

Yank$ better not blow a 3-1 lead again...

I say Yanks in 5

My "Yanks in 5" is looking mighty good right now. Glad I bought me a new Yankees hat right before the playoffs :D

Stay Classy Philly Fans: First snowballs at santa now this

The fans at Citizens Bank Park better be more careful with their money from now on. Additional security was installed in the outfield for Sunday night’s Game 4 after fans spent the early innings of Game 3 on Saturday throwing coins at Yankees outfielders Nick Swisher and Melky Cabrera. Bonnie Clark, the Phillies’ vice president of communications, said in an e-mail message Sunday that the Phillies were advised by umpires and Yankees security during Game 3 that fans were throwing coins at the outfielders. “We alerted our security people and directed more resources to that area Sunday night after learning of the matter and we will do the same tonight,” Clark wrote.

That's pretty funny. Yankee players getting hit by change. Everyone knows Yankee players only like to get hit with gold bars. Melky however has a little contract, I bet he was picking that change up.

Burnett was AWFUL last night.

Gaudin could give the same performance with the same results, i would think. Now were banking on Pettite on short rest and CC on short rest, for the third time this series!!!!

The Yanks are fine, they still had a chance last night to win being down by 6. This team is good. We don't need Petitte to be untouchable, we just need a solid 6-7 innings 3 runs out of him. We'll get on Pedro, I'm not worried.

Dewey defeats Truman!


http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/2009/11/02/2009-11-02_philadelphia_inquirer_runs_ad_phillies.html#swf p=1



It was a premature promotion of the "Dewey Defeats Truman" kind.

A Philadelphia newspaper ran a Macy's ad Monday congratulating the Phillies for a phantom World Series victory and promoting a 2009 championship T-shirt.

The bungled three-quarter-page ad showed a shirt with the Phillies logo, the commissioner's trophy and the phrase "Back-To-Back Champs."

Oops!

"They should send those shirts to Nicaragua for recycling like they did the [New England] Patriots," chortled Kevin Joseph, 33, a Manhattan broker, when shown the ad.

And the page it was on?

"They can use the ad for toilet paper," Joseph said.

The supposed "win" was a sarcastic shock for Missy Lawson, 31, who flew into New York from Atlanta.

"Already? Did they not see last night's game?" she scoffed after seeing the goofed-up ad.

"What else do you expect? Philly's fans are the most obnoxious in the world," Lawson said.

"Is that the National Enquirer? They have lost their minds," smirked Phil Greenberg, 40, an IT executive who lives in Manhattan.

The three-quarter-page ad appeared on the back page of the Philadelphia Inquirer's front section.

The bumbling broadsheet was quick to apologize.

"The Inquirer deeply regrets this error," the paper said in a message to readers. "Macy's is a great corporate citizen, supporter of this region and our sports teams. We apologize for this error," said Howard Griffin, the paper's veep for national advertising.

The Yanks are fine, they still had a chance last night to win being down by 6. This team is good. We don't need Petitte to be untouchable, we just need a solid 6-7 innings 3 runs out of him. We'll get on Pedro, I'm not worried.


If he wasn't going on short rest, coming off a start on full rest while admitting he was gassed, I wouldn't be worried either.

TWENTY FUCKIN SEVEN!! World Series Champs NY Yankees!! YES!!
Mischa.

Definitely by far the two best teams in baseball & the best team won the World series as the Yankees were just solid everywhere.
They had their "core four" Jeter, Posada, Petitte, & Rivera who now have 20 WS championships between them & added to that Arod, Tex, & CC who all got their first, just a great team this year.

And who would of thought Hideki Matsui would have won the MVP but he deserved it even though I thought CC might of got it.

Great job Yankees & congrats to all you die hard Yankee fans! :bowdown:

Congrats to the Yankees but if you mother fuckers who are happy the Yanks won not from NY or lived/live in NY then FUCK YOU you bandwagon scumbags!!

:D

If you were aiming that at me I was originally from NY Poughkeepsie. I moved out of NY since it was too expensive and WINTER SUCKS!! That's why the Internet is a wonderful thing I can still order my t-shirts and ws gear!!
Mischa.

The owner sure does know how to purchase a championship and fill up the stands with a deodorant commercial player(Jeter), a steroid one(Rodriguez), and sweep everything under the rug. I knew that once A-Rod became a playoff phenom all would be forgotten about him shooting up. I really dislike people that lie about taking steroids. Don't get me wrong, they deserve the purchased team(championship). It's just the nature of us as human beings to get behind them. I don't ever forget how a team of any sport got to where they are now. Sure, you have to build teams over time. The Yankees were a built team overnight. Way to go Yankees owner.

I couldn't agree more but they did win and in the end that's all that matters, so congrats to the Yankees team owenership again, nice job. I do like one thing about them, one of the best players to ever slip on that pin striped outfit was our very own Reggie Jackson, The real Mr. October, Philadelphia native that the NY ers like to overlook, He loved The Eagles as a youngster and still has deep roots in Phillie land.

seriously hearing all this Bought shit is ridiculous, i see you are from CA, must be a bitter A's or Angels fan. Here is a little insight into the yanks and the sox. ( i compared the sox b/c know their roster pretty well).

Here is a break down by position:

C- V-MART =Hired C –Posada = Homegrown
1B- Youkilis= Homegrown 1B- Tex Hired
2B – Pedrioa= Homegrown 2B- Cano = Homegrown
SS – Gonzalez= Hired SS- Jeter= Homegrown
3B- Lowell= Hired 3B- AROD =Hired
LF- Bay= Hired LF –Damon= Hired (f/sox)
CF- Ellsbury= Homegrown CF- MELKY= Homegrown
RF- DREW = Hired RF= Swisher= Hired
DH- FLOPPY= Hired DH- Matsui = Hired

Pitchers:
Beckett= Hired CC= Hired
Lester= Homegrown AJ= Hired
Buck= Homegrown Andy Pettite = Homegrown
Wakefield= Hired Joba = Homegrown
Dice K= Hired Chin Meng Wong= Homegrown
Bullpens are about 90% homegrown on each side. Red Sox 5 out of 14 Homegrown Yankees 7 out of 14 homegrown! So who really doesn’t use homegrown talent? You figure it out! Numbers don’t lie!

The owner sure does know how to purchase a championship and fill up the stands with a deodorant commercial player(Jeter), a steroid one(Rodriguez), and sweep everything under the rug. I knew that once A-Rod became a playoff phenom all would be forgotten about him shooting up. I really dislike people that lie about taking steroids.

I'm not a fan of the Yankees but they won fair and square. They deserved it.

I'm not a fan of the Yankees but they won fair and square. They deserved it.

Yes, I must say, that is the plain truth of it.

Phillies kicked our butts, so I was leaning towards them, but I must say, The Yankees stepped up and did what they had to do to win! They had outstanding pitching, good hitting, especially in the clutch, and good defense.

IMO, there were a TON of questionable calls throughout the playoffs/series, and the strikezone was a constant guessing game, but again, that worked BOTH ways for ALL TEAMS, so congrats to the Yanks for dealing with those issues apparently better than anyone else this year!

As for my Dodgers, I just hope this owner divorce doesn't kill the team!! :huh :what:

[QUOTE=shooter2977;958073]seriously hearing all this Bought shit is ridiculous, i see you are from CA, must be a bitter A's or Angels fan.

Yes, I'm in Southern California. Pasadena,CA to be exact. I'm an Angles fan and Dodgers Fan. However, originally from Alabama and into just about any sport. Really into F1 racing, football, basketball, a bit of hockey, gymnastics, swimming, and martial arts(not that MMA crap). You can see I'm into a great deal of things by looking at my posts here. Seriously, I like the Yankees. Just because they're a purchased team doesn't mean they didn't win the World Series fair-and-square. I can talk up a storm about any sport. Hell, baseball is the last sport on my behind Track and Field. Just all out speed. There is no one to help you. 90% mental, 10% pure conditioning. Been running all my life and still run about three to four times a week. Anyway, good analysis. I don't follow baseball like you do. Good for you.

You can say what you want about the Yankees but Jeter, Rivera, and Matsui are all great clutch players. Of course all of them have salaries well over $10,000 a year. Rodriguez had a great postseason until the WS but didn't do much in the WS other than step up to the plate and scare the pitchers into walking him. If they had pitched ARod tougher, who knows what might have happened. He mostly struck out when he was pitched to.

$440 Million spent in the offseason can win you anything, maybe even an Island.

Damn, this is all I'm talking about people. Please understand that a good correlation to this story is some of the Michael Jordan teams in which he won a franchise six championships. The Bulls owner always went over the salary cap. Read it for yourselves. He had to go over the cap because he had to pick up and pay Pippin's, Cartwright's, B.J. Armstrong, Paxton, three-point champion Craig Hodges, Rodman, and later on the bandwagon Ron Harper's salary. The Bulls were six championships purchased at the expense of the owners. Greedy ass bastards....The only difference between the MLB versus any other professional sport is that baseball is the only major money generating team sport in America that doesn't have a salary cap. Look it up. That's why you can pay Alex $250 million dollars. There are so many clowns that could never outrun me(10.3 seconds 100m speed) in high school on the baseball team who I know went on to play in AAA ball and make good salaries. My point...I'm just stating that there are so many baseball players that are fat and out of shape like the average American middle and high schooler that sit their asses on the bench making $1.5 million. That is an actual statistic. The average major leauger that doesn't play at all makes $1.5 million a season. Get it through your heads that I'm not saying that the Yankees don't deserve the championship. Good for them. It's just that I would like to see more parity in professional sports. There are so many people that I feel that are just as deserving that didn't get that shot at the professional level to get to that point for the opportunity to win a championship. I'm done with this thread. Enough said.

first of all grow up. bought or not ,you still have to play the game on the field.money means crap.2. because of high market teams like the yankees all other teams get a lux tax .and where does that tax money go,, into the owers pocket instead of using the money to buy players. cry to the owners there not doing the right thing. look baseball like all sports is a business. so if you have the money why not invest in a team that will win it all! small market team owners are not doing there jobs.

in fact the yankees business model should be baseballs model. btw the red sox are 2nd in spending.the other thing is most free agents want to play in new york...wouldn't you?

...the other thing is most free agents want to play in new york...wouldn't you?

UHH NOO, never, I guess Cliff Lee didn't want to either as he just re-signed with the Phillies, Woo Hoo...

UHH NOO, never, I guess Cliff Lee didn't want to either as he just re-signed with the Phillies, Woo Hoo...

the phils better keep lee and go out and get more pitching.other then lee i didn't see much pitching. and then theres the bullpen.
the phils are another team that should open there wallets,they need more pitching.

i will say 1 to 8 thats a tough lineup! if the phils get a few top notch pitchers they will take the nl east in 2010. i can already see a rematch yanks phils 2010 ws

UHH NOO, never, I guess Cliff Lee didn't want to either as he just re-signed with the Phillies, Woo Hoo...


technically he didn't re-sign... the phillies picked up his option. If Lee were a FA, he'd be signing for more than 8mill a year, or whatever the option was for.

It was 9 million and technically he is a Phillie next year so thats all that matters to me but hey I forgot how perfect and precise the yankee fans are, just like their team, :rolleyes:

And for what its worth I am 100 % sure that some form of contract was signed, hence my play on wording re-signed, I know that the Phillies will seek out a six or seven year deal before the end of 2010 prolly in the numbers of 150 to 175 million dollars , Philadelphia sources say that they will be working on that before spring training.

I cant wait for next year , I hope for a re-match but I fear that only the Phillies will be there again, :hithere: Oh well, too bad.
