If Pedro works any slower, I won't make it to the 6th inning.

Love him or hate him that was a gutsy effort by Pedro.

Tough call that goes against the Yanks. The thing that bothers me is that how can the ump be so adamant about the call if he was behind Howard? How the hell is he supposed know if he caught it or not with a veiw from behind the play? Took them right out of a possible big inning.

Wow I was wrong about the run total for tonight. Another great pitchers duel. A.J. did what they paid him to do. He has electric stuff when he's on and he had it going tonight. I actually thought that Girardi should have sent him out there for the 8th.
Can't take anything away from Pedro. He was pretty damn good too (the tempature must have been above 55 for him to pitch like that. ) He pitched well enough and put his team in position to win. The other guys were just a bit better tonight.
I really thought a big play in the game that got overlooked was Werth getting picked off first by Molina. It seemed to charge up the crowd and get them back in the game. Then in the bottom of the inning Texieria finally showed up and there seemed to be a collective breath from the Yankee nation.
It's a best 5 series now. Still looks like it's going to go down to the wire. It's going to be interesting for the Yanks to see if and when A-Rod shows up again and if Texieria and Matsui can move foward off their big hits tonight. Also will Joe Girardi ever bring anyone else in from the bullpen not named Rivera?
Once again the Phillies would not go away. They are a good scrappy team that got the short end of a call in the bottom in the 8th and then sent the tying run up in the 9th against Mo.
Looking foward toward Saturday

This entire series comes down to Cole Hamels in Game 3. We know Pettite is going to give up 2-4 runs over 6-8 innings, he's an established posteason quality start. What we don't know is which Cole Hamels shows up. He could easily throw a shutout in G3 or give up 8 runs and be gone by the 3rd. He's the enigma that ultimately decides the series.

The Yankees have a huge decision when it comes to Gaudin. I personally would pitch him up 2-1. Anything beyond that, I wouldn't use him. Down 2-1, you have to pitch CC and AJ. Game 3 is going to be huge for how the Yankees use their rotation.

That was a bad call, but it was made even with Utley called out on that double play in the 8th. It was real hard to tell with utley, was only able to tell when they slowed it down, so both calls were though calls, and the umps got them wrong both times, but at least it wasnt so blantent.

AJ Burnett was great.. was excited a little when we got to him a small bit early.. but then he turned on another gear and pitched well. Rivira was good too, but was also hopefull seeing us get some hits off him.

Pedro was very good (just a small handful of mistakes that the Yanks capitolized on). was pissing me off when the damn commentaters were like 'he's going to strike out the side.. the heart of the yankees lineup.. I knew Matsui was going to do something when the damn fox guys started talking like that. A little bummed that our pitchers only gave up 3 runs and we couldnt capitolize on that, didnt hit great with runners in scoring position.

On to Philly.. Phillies did what they wanted to and got homefield back, they have been terrific (11-1) in post series games at the Bank.. but this is going to be a great great series. I'm hoping Cole gets his head on right, dont want to pitch out of the bullpen for 5 innings thats for sure.

I'm thinking this series goes 7 games.

Looks like Soul Glo killed the Phillies.

Manuel's got to make the move there. It's obvious that Pedro has nothing tonight, plus Matsui has been all over Pedro. He had the lefty ready and should have brought him in..

Pettitte didn't make it through the sixth, has given up three runs, is responsible for a possible fourth with the guy on second...........and is given a standing ovation and gives a tip of the cap when leaving the field. Gotta love it.

The guy did his job and kept the Phills at bay while he was in there. He came up big again, in a money spot. Was it the best pitching performance ever, of course not. But he put his team in a position to win. That's all you can ask for.

That place is a joke. I had a friend at game 1 and he said he would have rather been at the old County Stadium watching the crew.

Go Phils!

Now that the practice games in that minor league stadium are over … time to start the real contests in the City of Brotherly Love.


And the home team sends that big lefty from Diego to the hill.

Howard has to seriously think about doing a Roger Dorn against lefties.

You know when you're about to tie Willie Wilson for a post season record that it can't be good.
