francessca is licking his chops for 1:00 to get here fast , heck he should be the manager , if pettite bombs in game 6 it will be time for the yankees to hire him as manager

He could of went either way here. Ahead 3-1 he could have definitley started Gaudin (I actually thought he would have went this way). It would have did a few things. Burnett would have been on regular rest and then you would have had the option of Pettite on regulat rest or most likely CC on 3 days for game 7. It would have also boosted the offense for last night with have Posada start instead of Molina.
What I was discussing with Joey, was Girardi setting his rotation going into the series, it was pretty much a no brainer. Going into it he could not commit to Gaudin, but he certainly could have called an audible and pitched him being up 3-1. Obviously I would feel better about last night if Gaudin started, but I don't think you could really kill Girardi for that.

The only thing that bothered me last night (although I admit to going to bed early cause I was exhausted) was him bringing in Coke instead of Marte (maybe he was unavailable and I don't know). But it seems that Girardi kind of gave up on the game being down 6-2 at the time. You could bet if it was a 1 run game Marte would have been in. Coke gives up the 2 spot and they lose by a duece. That's the only thing that irks me a bit.

Wow. The way that bull has been pitching? Phillies haven't won a game until you see that 27th out. Them some Big Iffy Chickies.

If they play the games first and then let him manage the replays he will still not know what the hell he is talking about. Frighteningly enough MadDog was a far better baseball guy than Francessa.

Big game tonite. And while I like our chances.. I dont like how the media is really picking the Phillies tonite. So we will probably lose.

Hope Pedro stays hot in that cold weather!!

just like last game, g/l but not really..

Hey Gales, how disappointed would you be as a Yankee fan, if they dont get this title? Would this be worse than 04? Worse than not being able to beat the Marlins in 03?

lee dominated game 5 until the 8th when his pitch count got to around 110. not dominate like he did in game 1.. but lee was very good. I expect the same from Pedro.. except for him more around 95 pitches.

Also we hit Pettite in game 3.. its Hamels that couldnt hold on to a 3 run lead. Pettite is Pedro's age going on very short rest. 3 days rest when he hasnt pitched lower than 5 days rest all year.

I think the "seeing the pitcher a 2nd time" goes in the Phils favor tonite.

If we make it til tomorrow its totally in the Yanks favor as Manuel will send out Crybaby Hamels.
