If you bring it, you win. Simple.

 

[itsaNYthing]

I can't wait for tomorrow night.

 

[eastcoastpapi]

game 2 is up for grabs... pedro has been lookin ill and burnett hasn't, hehas to prove us yankee fans right with the 16+ mill a year he gettin
i see yankees winning game 3... they can pick apart hamels isn't his era 7.++
I doubt in game 4 lee will be

again like that

anyway

Offseason even if yankees win or not
they really gotta get rid of some bullpen
34 marte? gone
number 99 gone
etc etc
cant expect CC and Mariano to win every game

Better hope A.J actually shows up for once, if he pulls some of those 4-5 walk performances vs THIS TEAM......crooked numbers.

Why do you say that? Both teams will play without the DH, and we still have one of the most stacked lineups in the MLB.

Phils naturally play without the DH.

So Posada would obviously be catcher, how would their outfield look? Matsui obviously sits on the bench.

Unless you play on the Yankees, I think that statement is best reserved for the people that actually play. ex; A-rod, Jeter, Sabathia, Swisher (who really couldn't play any worse), or Melky Cabrera.

Always gotta be all technical huh? Always filled w/ salt, are we?

u kno wat i meant

I'm filled with salt? Your team lost. Why should I be mad for your team? That's your job.

Anyways...............



Our bats better get going game 2

Only thing I ask is for YANKEE fans to take it 1 game at a time don't go jumpin in the hudson just yet, and if burnett pitches well tomorrow don't gimme that "I told u so" phils still took home field away from us if that means anything. Who knows we might play better in philly than expected, and to philly fans I don't give a **** about what y'all do y'all could jump on cars right now if y'all want but it ain't over till its over. Also, Phil Hughes is terrible right now I wouldn't want him pitching for my little league team he looks like he should pitch for the Mets. I don't even wanna talk about nick swisher







Rant over.

I find it funny you of all people say this.

cliff lee

yes i was surprised by his performance...i dont care how goodhes been all year...he absolutely brought it tonight.
CC pitched fine...couple mistakes. just wasnt the yankee offense's night.
when cliff lee stabbed that comebacker behind his back...you knew game 1 was a wrap

Well, I can see the issue when Burnett is pitching in Philly, but I don't think it hurts us that much.

 

[memphisboi55]

Come on Yanks

 

[so slickening]

I don't think we'd be describing Lee as having "swag" if it was just about his pitching performance. That would just warrant him as a Yankeeeater.

the behind the back catch, the fly ball catch, and his nonchalant demeanor the whole game = swag.

Also, I think Yankee fans really are salty, no matter what they say or what they try to come off of... at least the cocky ones before the series started. Theyjust use

's to make people think they cool with everything.

 

[MambaMentality824]

Great win tonight but it was only one win. Yanks gonna come out swinging tomorrow hopefully Pedro is on his A-game. I'm already excited.

 

[crank lucas]

just a terrific game by lee, for a second I actually was tuned into him more than us, dude was on some other %%*+ tonight

no excuses for our part fellas, we just got manhandled period

Like I said earlier, it's too bad that he isn't a power hitter. He gets his hits, of course but the hitters behind him need to break out of these slumps...quickly.

Real talk.

It's not like Matsui's been killin' it out there tho'.

again like that

4 starts in the postseason so far.

Here are his stats

vs. COL - 9 IP - 6 hits - 1 ER - 5 K's
vs. COL - 7.1 - 5 hits - 1 ER - 5 K's
vs. LAD - 8 IP - 3 hits - 0 ER - 10 K's
vs. NYY - 9 IP - 6 hits - 0 ER - 10 K's

I don't know where those doubts come but this guy won't be pitching bad games any time soon. When they vs. him again, it'll be the 2nd time facinghim in the series so the hitters should have a better idea of how to work against Lee.

I ain't even mad at not winning tonight's game. But if we lose to Pedro tomorrow...

. Especially after runnin' his mouth again...

Edit:

 

[jrp44]

Yeah we had no chance tonight against Lee...He was absolutely dominant. CC actually pitched well too, but our bats didn't show up at all

I'm not gonna lie, tomorrow is going to be huge...this reminds me of after the game 3 loss to the Angels...if we come out tomorrow with our A game and AJpitches well and our bats wake the #%%$ up, then we know that this team is still focused and wants to win it all..

With that said Lets go Yanks!

 

[onewearz]

AJ definitely has me queezy . im not crazy about the idea of him having the world on his shoulders in a must win game. i think the yanks will shell pedro forthe simple fact that he no longer has the "pedro" fastball anymore. they're gonna sit on his soft stuff and hit him hard.

on the other hand, i can see aj having jitters and getting rocked. my wildcard is aceves comes in early and shuts em down and the yanks beat the bullpen.

ima say it now, yanks win gms 2, 3, 6, 7.

trust me im a genius ......

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Anybody wanna play uncharted 2? PSN ID is the same as my nt username







And to the yankee fans being "the cocky ones" get real it goes both ways. The whole phillie team talk s*** get outta here with that

Still throwing? I have NEVER seen Lee even reach 95.

he didn't have to.

This is the first WS that should give each team all they can handle and then some. I thought the layoff would affect the Phillies. Guess not.

Cliff Lee

 

[xilegacy]

Yanks definitely got manhandled by Lee. Hitters have to step up. Looking forward to game 2 can't be slacking it's the damn WS.

 

[Los Angeles]

Any ratings out yet on game 1?
