It will be boring and there will be lots of crabs, ball scratching, and spitting of sunflower seeds by grossly overpaid roided-up douchenozzles.

Not really a Phillies fan, but I'm taking them to beat the Yanks. The Yankees looked good cuz the Angels played like crap. Their offensive lineup is soft(Angels) Just seems like Phillies have better offense through the lineup. But the Phils better be ahead late cuz the Yanks bullpen is the real deal.

Kruk last night said of all the positions (based on offense though not defense) he would take all the Philly guys except shortstop (Jeter over Jroll) and 3rd base (aroid over feliz).

The outfield isn't even a question, especially with Swisher playing like garbage but I'd rather have Posada when he's performing at the level he's supposed to. That doesn't include that I'd take the Yankees rotation over the Phils any day.

But even then, his defensive sucks and there isn't a guy around who is more clueless than him on the bases (not to mention that he has to be one of the slowest guys in the league).

Posada is the catcher right? I'll take Ruiz for sure.

The three best postseason players so far have been Ryan Howard, A-roid, and Ruiz. Hands down. Ruiz has been unbelievable.

I'll give you that for the most part... Cliff Lee (in the post season) has pitched as well or better than ANYONE. Pedro has been AWESOME for us this year and completely shut down the Dodgers... I really hope they use him for a start.

Hamels has been garbage and shouldnt even get a start but he will. I love Blanton.. I know Chuck disagree's but Blanton is our bulldog and I trust him in the Series. Happ had a great year... was voted best rookie by his peers.. I bet he wont start but he will be fine out of the pen (he hasnt been great out of the pen yet but he's got a real bad deal by some umps so far.. hitting the corners and getting balls called).

Our rotation is NOT a weak spot at all.. though Yankee's is better for the most part. One thing yankees should hope they dont have to pitch CC three times... i just have a good (bad for yankee fans) feeling about that.

Our bullpen is the weak spot.. though Durbin has been great so far in the post.. Eyre is solid.. Madson had choked.. Chan Ho Park has been good.. somehow Lidge has been saving games but I expect him to blow one though I pray he doesnt.

If Lidge blows even one save the Yankees will win the series.

Kruk is a terrible homer and I wouldn't listen to anything he said regarding the Phillies.

He was right though. Utley is the best 2nd basemen in baseball. Texteria or however you spell it is a great fielder.. but I'd take Howard by a freaking mile (and so would the Boss). The two have been night and day in the playoffs. Our outfielders are superior at the plate and Ruiz has been unbelievable.

Only Arod and Jeter are > than Jroll and Feliz.

It just makes me feel pretty good seeing that 80% of the people on here are picking the yanks. Honestly.

Howard by a mile? Really?

.279/.360/.571/.931, 45 HR 141 RBI 75 BB 186 K 14 errors
.292/.383/.565/.948, 39 HR 122 RBI 81 BB 114 K 4 errors

Seems like a wash to me.

And your outfield is definitely better, but I'm sorry, Posada is a way better hitter than Ruiz. I really could care less about a 9-game sample, your guy hit freaking .255 with 9 HRs this year, stop it.

I said in this series. Not overall. Ruiz is the man right now. Like I said, you can have him.

Comparing statistics with the Yankees this year is pointless cause of the new ballpark. Here is the home HR's vs away HRs, everyone but Swisher and Matsui had seriously inflated numbers from playing in the new Yankee stadium. Double the away number and you have a far better indicator of how many HRs they would hit in a fair ballpark:

A-Rod – 18/12
Melky – 9/4
Jeter – 13/5
Posada – 14/8
Damon – 17/7
Matsui – 13/15
Cano – 14/11
Teixeira – 24/15
Swisher – 8/21
