The good thing for the Yanks is that they will have Matsui and Posada back in the lineups for both games.
Not sure what to expect out of Pedro and whomever pitches game 7. Agree about Victorino, you got to love his toughness.
Both teams seem to be warming up at the plate (with the exceptions of Howard and Texieria). But I want to believe (obviously I'm biased) that the Yanks have so good at home all season, that they find away to win one out of two games. Perferably game 6, cause if it gets to 7 you would think that the Phills would have all the momentum and they would be playing with the house money after being down 3-1.

I agree and think for the Yankees, a Game 6 win is a must. I like your chances though...a lot. Theres nobody I would rather have pitch in this kind of game right now than Andy Pettite. Hes a complete stud. I dont see the Phillies getting more than 3 runs, so unless the NY bats go ice cold, you'll be poppoing champagne tomorrow around midnight! I'd say the Yankees have an 80% chance of winning Game 6.
If I am wrong and it comes to a Game 7, then everything changes. I dont think CC will have his best stuff and I would expect the Yankees to be very tight.
