lee needs to pitch game 7- end of story. hamels checked out for the rest of the season with his ridiculous statement today and pedro can handle game 6 if he gets run support

Run support is the key factor we've been missing. 🙁

 

[TheVrolok]

Beginning of the end?

 

[BeauJangles]

Of course the Phillies can't just make this stress-free.

 

[BeauJangles]

No fucking way.

 

[dbk]

hahahah this is awesome!

 

[TheVrolok]

I'll take 2 outs for 1 run at this point ..

 

[nageov3t]

was anyone actually expecting the yankees to win tonight?

I certainly wasn't expecting them to get within 2 runs after the way this thing started.

That double play was huuuge.

 

[TheVrolok]

was anyone actually expecting the yankees to win tonight?

They still could ..

 

[BeauJangles]

Tying run to the plate. Jesus.

 

[dbk]

Madson can't close it out...

 

[TheVrolok]

Phew...

 

[dbk]

awwww great game! both bullpens (except rivera) suck!
NY in 6 like I predicted

 

[BeauJangles]

Phew...

You can say that again.

if pedro can keep it to 3 ER and 7 IP the phils can def push it to game 7

I believe the phillies are now 2-0 in the WS while ATOT is online.

 

[techs]

I figure the only way the Phillies can win is in games Cliff Lee pitches.
So its pretty much over.

And someone needs to check Utley for 'roids.

Ummm.... yes.

and it was close. One more game then to close this thing up.

If I were a Yankees fan, I wouldn't be happy about the prospect of Andy Pettitte on short rest.

Ummm.... yes.

It wasn't really that close at any point. A 2-run deficit in the 9th, even with the tying run at the plate, is not that close. That isn't a situation in which you win very often.

 

[jalaram]

Next game? Optimist.

It helps in situations like this. :biggrin:

 

[Miramonti]

I'm late to the party, but holey cr@p can Chase Utley turn on a pitch! 😱

i'm all for it, but you gotta check the entire yankees roster first.

 

[BrownShoes]

Myers: I thought you quit.
Hamels: I thought you beat your wife.

 

[evident]

hamels at the least deserves a break, and he deserves to start a game 7 if there is gonna be one. He's a big reason why the phillies are here today and he's still young. He'll rebound next year. Some of the talk philly fans i'm hearing and the media that want him traded is absurd.

Yes, lets check Utley for roids, but none of the Yankees.
