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?

'04 was bad but it was stil the ALCS and we still would have to win 4 more games against the Cardinals and we lost 2 games with our best player on the mound - rivera

'03 was tough to take but the way Beckett shut them down in game 6 you just tip your cap to him and say he beat you

this would be a bitter pill to swollow .... pedro is 38 , the phillies don't have much of a bullpen to speak of so if it doesn't happen tonight and then we lose a game 7 to a hamel/happ combo it would be tougher to take then either of the above

I think if somehow the Phillies pull this off it will be even greater than last year. Last year was amazing because it has been my whole lifetime and I was finally able to celebrate something. Beating the Yanks in 7 would top that though. I just dont think that will happen. Lidge beating us was just the one thing we couldnt let happen this series and its already happened. Just think the yankees have this wrapped up.

I don't think so. Last year's was the biggest one for ya. This here is just normal greed. When you're a fan, you want to win them all, but that 1st one is the sweetest. Even though this is the more hated fough than last year. That's the only time I went to one of those parades ('81.)

I dont agree. Last year the Phils beat a fruitless Tampa team. They had the personality of a Geico commercial. This is the NY Yankees. I dont care if this is your 8th title in a row, when you beat the Yankees, it really means something. A la Boston in 04. Not because it was the first one in 100 years, but more so who we beat and how we did it in the ALCS.

I think if the Phillies went out and swept the Yankees last year would still be better.

but IF and its a huge IF.. we come back here and win in game 7 that just adds so much more to it being down 3-1 after game 4. Especially with the years ups and downs and the bullpen problems.. everything last year just seemed to go in our direction. While we had a much easier time winning the NL East this year.. those 18 blown saves were just one tough loss after another. I could just imagine how I will feel tomorrow if we win game 7 (if there is a game 7).. though I highly doubt its going to happen.

its all going to be a moot point though. thats my gut feeling.

Well you are the Philly fan, so its your call. Good luck tonight, I would love to see a Game 7. The anticipation all day tomorrow would make my day so much better!
