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.

not worried about it , even if we go down 0-2 , we can still come back and win with this team

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!

what do you mean ? was that not there best pitcher last night, do you really expect pedro and hamels to pitch like lee???

burnett is better than pedro
pettite is better than hamels

i wouldn't trade starters with you in the next 2 games

was that not YOUR best pitcher also?? this is great stuff gAles!!

And you also said CC was better than Lee, so take a look at your track record here..

I wouldnt trade line-ups with you in the next 2 games. Burnett is a righty and we are much better against righty's. Like I said, the Phils are not intimidated by any pitcher, let alone AJ Burnett and Andy Pettite.

I'll give you Pettite over Hamels for sure (the way they are pitching now) but if you would actually pay attention to the way Pedro has pitched its a wash at the very least. Lee killed the Yankee's with his command last night... Pedro is still one of the best in the whole univerise when it comes to command. this isnt the 2008 Mets Pedro we are talking about. He's healthy, happy, and confident. And still a 3 time Cy Young winner and one of the greatest pitchers (even though he cheated) in history.

Its gonna be a good game and could easily go either way, just dont understand all the yankee confidence. But I like it.. I love being the underdog.

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?

won't bother me a bit, i would like to win tonight

um because he's not pitching good. Where did you get that statement from, your ass?

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.
