That may be one of the most dominant performances I have ever seen on this stage, albeit a first game. W O W 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.

Of course you can, this is baseball and anything can happen. And it is the Yankees. This will be a good, long, series.. But you have no clue about the team you are facing.

Very excited for tonites game already... GO PHILLIES!

You are already thinking about losing tonight? Thats not a very confident fan talking. I think the key to this series is Game 3. Whoever wins that game wins the series.

Utley is some kind of guy, aint he? As modest as the Northeast winters are long. And people wonder why A Rod is so hated and Utley is so loved?

One of the most underrated talents in this series is Pedro. Giving him the ball in game 2 is a potential series changing move. There are throwers with talent in this series and there are pitchers who baffle hitters to the point of dominance.

Pedro is a smart, albeit old, crafty vet who can still get people out, and has the ability to set up hitters like few pitchers in my lifetime. Don't underestimate Pedro in Game 2.

The key game is tonight. The Yankees dont want to go to Philly down 0-2 knowing Lee is sitting there in game 4.
