***OFFICIAL 2009 WORLD SERIES GAME THREAD- Philadelphia Phillies v NY Yankees***

[Maxman]

75 pitches for Lee. Down to 4 runs. (Howard was terrible on the ground ball btw. The whole play was in front of him if he wanted to get one out and keep Hinske at 3b that would have been pretty easy).

I hope they have a big 6th (25 pitches and 2 runs) and get Lee out of the game.

Oh yeah and that Aceves is on.

Another thought -- Hughes is going to be called on at some point in this game if the Yankees keep fighting back. I hope he is up to it.

[Jet Moses]

It probably has more to do with the multiple personal attacks he had earlier in the day.

Try reading the whole thread and not just my posts.

Jet Moses -- get out of this thread. I read that whole thing. I will be honest with you, I just want to watch baseball and not deal with any of your drama. Had enough of it man. Seriously.

[Maxman]

What a play by Gardner. WOW.

I hope he is alright.

[JonEJet]

I'm a fan of whoever is playing the Yankee$.

I'm always nice to you....I even offer you ****tails:cheers:

[Maxman]

That was a nice inning.

2 weeks off serves Aceves well I guess.

OK Sooth.

[Maxman]

If Gardner got hurt they would be rolling with an outfield of Matsui - LF, Damon - CF and Swisher - RF.

OUCH. Glad he is okay, that would be bad.

[JonEJet]

Get your f-ing bat off your shoulder

[Maxman]

Brett was way overmatched there. Sitting the bench for a month and having to face a lefty like Lee, not a good thing.

[Maxman]

91 pitches for Lee. Which means the Yankees get 2 innings off the Phillies bullpen tonight (hopefully).

[JonEJet]

I'm glad that Lee pitches no more this series if it goes back to NY

Lee isn't going to be pitching again until March.

Maybe, just maybe, they'll push him to 140 pitches.

They could ride it out with him. I like the Yankees chances if that happens though.

[THE ILK]

I still can't believe AJ got 4 outs and gave up 6 runs tonight.

[Maxman]

Hairston should have been taking 3 strikes there.

[JonEJet]

I was screaming at my TV

Not over

Definitely not over. Although I was hoping for more noise in that inning. Now Lee will be back out for the 8th.

cept when u used to be a yankees fan. k bud.

[JonEJet]

Utley could win MVP on losing team

[Maxman]

This just in. Utley is good.

[Maxman]

I thought they would go with Marte there, was nervous when I saw it was Coke. But I can't knock Girardi for it because those lefties could have come back up in the 9th if the Yankees came back. So he was saving Marte for that if the game was tied.

Coke ouch. Utley wow.

[Otter]

Maybe we should consider knocking Utley off the plate.

BTW now I know why Coke has been buried in the bullpen.

[Maxman]

Note to Phil Coke: Lefty relievers who have long careers don't give up home runs to lefty batters.

[DaBrick Wall]

Just dumb to leave Lee in this inning.

[Maxman]

Damon - Tex and ARod. If Coke didn't give up another 2 runs we would be going NUTS right now.

4 run game though. And they do get 2 full innings of Phillies relief so anything is possible!

[JonEJet]

Keep the Merry Go Round moving

[Otter]

Rally cap is on...

[Maxman]

Nice pop up willie mays hayes. Someone tell Brett he is the fastest guy on the team. Hit the ball on the ground.

[DaBrick Wall]

Can the comeback kids muster one more to end their season so fittingly?

[JonEJet]

Nice job Jorge

[JonEJet]

JUST GET ON BASE
