Yankees sphincters are squeezing already. Phils in 5

Cliff Lee is just nasty.

I strongly disagree.

wow. He just struck out 3-4-5 side. The last pitch to posada was a something to see.

lol a Yankees homer touting a Boston team on a "Let's go Yankees" thread.

Just in awe watching him work...fantastic stuff.

Cliff Lee is just absolutely dealing. You would think that after Matsui gets on maybe they would at least think about laying down a bunt.
I guess it's going to be long ball or bust.

Speaking of long ball, Utley just HAMMERED that one!! Wow

Oh ok.

:tro:

the way he caught that pop up has made me a fan :tro:

Might be the last time you see Hughes this series. His poor pitching continues. Girardi might bring in Mariano in for the 7th if they ever have the lead that late into a game.

Philly in 4 .......is still a possibility. Funny how the Yanks go from 2-1 favorites to underdogs because CC isn't perfect. Fickle game this baseball.

go Yankees!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh boy, the Yankees pen looks like it may cause major heartache in the Bronx. They better either get 8 innings out of their starters or have 7 run leads late in games.

That was a brilliant pitching performance!

Yeah.....he's hurting!

That may be one of the most dominant performances I have ever seen on this stage, albeit a first game. W O W:eek: The straight change to A Rod was sick in the 9th.

A good pitcher can turn witch when they don't fear losing. They got him 6 runs tonite, and 11 runs in his last start. It's a lethal combination (good pitcher + he trusts his offense.)

I love the Phillies and this thread!

Go Phillies and Thank you Gales and RHT!!!

It will be a LONG series but I there is no way we could have had a better start. Wish Lee could pitch all 7 games.. I'm confident with Pedro, he has been terrific so far with us. Win or lose, he's the right call for Game 2. Worried about Hamels though, but I think they will only start him once this series.

Howard kept it going.. hit some lefty's (supposedly the best lefty in the game -though lee may disagree) ;) . Here's hoping Utley stays hot... I was upset when Utley didnt score off Howard's double in the first.. but then when Victorino got thrown out at home on Howard's double in the 9th.. i realized why Utley stayed at third. MAN that is a short right field.
