Good point, and I don't know how one can say "I doubt there will be a Game 6". Though both pitchers did great in their last starts, Lee's was more impressive than Burnett's, and since Lee is at home one would have to give him the edge.

The Phils COULD lose tonight, but they have the edge and should win the last home game. Then you have Game 6, which will heavily favor New York.

Is Girardi making a crucial mistake by continuing with all of the Yankee's starters on short rest to the end? Should he have played Gaudin against Lee, keeping AJ for Game 6 and CC/Petitte on the bullpen for Game 7?

I'd be really tempted just to punt game 5 by pitching Gaudin, then have Burnett and Pettitte on extra/normal rest for games 6 and 7 (and CC in the bullpen if necessary). If Cliff Lee pitches another masterpiece and Burnett gets shelled in, say, the fourth or fifth inning, then they have to go with either Pettitte on short rest or Gaudin in game 6.

Early returns say yes, Phils got to face Hyde Burnett tonight.

I am awesome.

My husband said that when he arrived in Philadelphia everyone was wearing their Phillies caps. That was on Friday. Tonight he said he saw maybe three guys in town wearing their caps. Everyone was a little subdued.

Wow. That's really disappointing.

One of Harry Kalas's greatest lines. Utley scored from second base on an infield groundout, and Harry just goes, "Chase Utley, you are THE MAN!"

Were they really just playing the sad piano tune from the Incredible Hulk TV show when Coke got yanked? AWESOME.

lazarus · 11-02-2009, 09:42 PM

The hits. Just. Keep. On. Coming.

I'm surprised that the record for World Series homers was only 5. I would have pegged The Babe for 7 at some point.

Imperor · 11-02-2009, 09:50 PM

Speaking of pegging the babe, why aren't there ever any crowd shots of Minka Kelly? Forget Kate Hudson.

And just when I started to wonder why Clifford is still in...

phillyfan26 · 11-02-2009, 10:01 PM

I don't like this three-run eighth.

lazarus · 11-02-2009, 10:11 PM

Well it's not like Brad Lidge is going to come in and--

Oh yeah.
