That. That Lidge went 0-8 with 11 blown saves with a 7 ERA and the team won 93 games still...speaks to just how incredibly talented they are. Lidge gets a lifetime pass in Philly with his perfect 2008, and he has pitched well in postseason this year. But anyone who is surprised by anything this team does hasn't paid attention. They are by the way 4-2 in non-Lee pitched postseason games this year.

My point exactly. Too much focus on the starters and not enough on the guys hitting scoring the runs. How about some talk about Ryan Howard? The guy has been en fuego for the last 3 weeks. His swing is like Juniors...smooth as butter.

yes but pedro has only pitched out in la , does anyone not believe the cold does not affrect him , it affected him in his younger days , why won't it affect him at 38 ?

hamels started 2 games against the dodgers and 1 game against the rockies and stunk in all 3

the game that blanton started against la was blown by broxton in the 9th , he stinks too in big spots , does rivera have a better chance of winning that game with a lead in the 9th then broxton , what do you think

the 2 wins in cloroado (1 start with lee) had the rockies closer - street blow both games , does rivera blow those games???

my opinion is that the yanks have better starting ptiching than the phillies and while anything can happen in a 7 game series , i think pedro gets shelled tonight , i think hamels gets shelled in game 3 and i think blanton has no chance in a game 4 ....... burnett , petitie could get shelled , gaudin will get shelled , so we could be at 2-2 heading into game 5 or 3-1 yanks heading into game 5 , even if lee wins game 5 , we still have the edge in 6 +7

^^^

Still winning games before they are even played

(hey guess what, if we get shelled like you say we will in game 2 and 3 who do you think will be pitching game 4??)

This just in … Cliff Lee is pretty good. lol

Was HIGHLY entertaining watching him make A-Roid look like the eight hitter on the local high school team.

And how 'bout that Utley … going yard twice with a two-strike count … and on their big lefty, no less.

What's that I hear in the distance…

Pay-dro

SHOW TIME, old man

The Yankees are very good and certainly could win 4 straight. Winning game 1 is big. Every game one winner has won the series this postseason, and the last several World Series'. The series is far from over, but advantage Phils right now for sure. But honestly, do you really think Burnett has any less chance of getting shelled than Martinez or Hamels?? Pettite is a postseason stud...but it is unlikely he goes more than 6...7 is the absolute max for him. The way Hughes and Chamberlain are throwing, that would worry me considerably. That was the big problem last night....the bullpen...has been all postseason minus Mariano.

uh Gales it isnt a 7 game series anymore. It is a 3 game series for the yankees. If they lose tonight it is a 2 game series. If they are down 0-3 it is a 1 game series.
