[chantheman]

nice win

is this why arod has actually shown up this post season?

[soonami]

Fuck yeah Phillies!

[evisu 2000]

got mad love for swisher pause, but his batting stance kills me

[evisu 2000]

nice out to make up for that bullshit call

kazmir pitching like a pussy

[mspark]

A-Rod has shown up this postseason because he was more relaxed during the season. Not as much pressure on him since Teixiera is protecting him.

5 to nothing. 5th inning. Sabbathia on the mound. Could be safe to say that my boiz got this.

[chantheman]

if mathis is playing so well in the postseason why doesnt he play more?

[evisu 2000]

scioscia...

Angels stay alive at beat the Yanks 7-6.

It was so close the whole game. First the Angels score 4 runs in the first.

Then the Yanks get 6 runs in the 7th and then the Angels come back with 3 runs. In the 9th inning the Angels closer comes in and gets the first 2 batters. Then he walks A-Rod and the batter after him. After that he hits the next batter and the bases are loaded. He gets ahead of Nick Swisher 0-2 and then throws 3 balls. He gets Swisher to pop out after that pitch.

What a great game and GO ANGELS!

[chantheman]

lackey looked pissed after he got pulled

[ssheat]

The Yanks are going to the World Series! I just walked over and got my 2000 world champs cap on!

[chantheman]

im surprised arod didnt get the mvp. cc deserved it too but arod was getting all the hype

[shoreman1782]

Phils in 7.

[chantheman]

hope you're right

[shoreman1782]

I KNOW there's Yanks fans on here. Where are you?

[eastcoastrider27]

The Phillies' biggest weakness is their bullpen (although it's not that bad), but when your starter goes 9 it complete eliminates that element from the equation.

I don't expect Pedro to pitch a complete game tonight, but if he can go 6, then the Phils can piece together the rest of the game with Eyre, Madson, Happ (who I feel is more valuable out of the pen at this point) and Lidge (assuming he doesn't implode).

If the Phils win tonight, the series is all but over with Hamels pitching at home in game 3 and Lee going again in Game 4.

I have a feeling Burnett is going to get lit up tonight. I expect the Phils lineup to really dial in against him if his curveball is anything less than stellar.

[soap]

Hamels has been shit this entire year...still the Yanks need this one tonight

[SCDL]

The Yanks are gone unless Burnett pitches a gem tonight. Burnett is too shaky and is not a an ace in this league. The Yanks wasted their money on him.

[chantheman]

jevan snead in your avatar? hottie tottie

staying on topic go phils

[SCDL]

^^Yep. Hes my favorite college football player right now.

[eastcoastrider27]

Guess I was wrong. Burnett's fastball has some nasty movement tonight.

[hawkeye]

Wish the Sox had picked up Pedro instead of Smoltz as their "project pitcher".

[icandunkonu]

so close, so so close. cmon yanks

[evisu 2000]

fuckin lidge

[chantheman]

exactly...

Damon also admits to the strange routine of urinating in his own batting gloves. As a young player his batting coach advised this practice as a way to reduce swelling in his hands. He has continued this practice to present day and it has earned him the locker room nickname "Piss-Knuckles" given to him by teammate Derek Jeter
