[World Series] Philadelphia Phillies vs. New York Yankees

[Rayman]

Ok fine........but with the comment you made and all the avatars and sigs you rep, I can't tell who the fuck you are rooting for......sue me.

At least you were able to recognize that that was Eli and Romo in the sig, unlike some others who thought Eli was a lineman. :smh:

 

[DJ Rhude]

Ask Rhude how I feel about the NY Giants.

You love the way we're playing right now :smh:

Not gonna lie, it's sort of gratifying.

But I know you'll probably rebound late while we find some way to fuck it up in December again.

It won't matter when you're both looking up at the Eagles atop the division

Anyway, back to baseball...

I really hope the Phillies can wear Pettitte out early and tag him for some runs and get the Yankees middle relief into the game.

Let me throw this out there: If the Yanks are up by a run to start the 7th, will we see Mo for a 9 out save?

I think you will see Sandman come for a three inning save if that is the score. With the heat Girardi is takin on managing his BP by the NY press and the consistent reliability of Rivera no question he brings out the geezer.

I was readin up some analysis on Pettite's numbers when on short rest. The piece was written in th Philly Inky and it's sorta sporadic. There were 2 games he pitched with 3 & 4 days rest, and both were after he went over 100 pitches in the previous games. In those games he was out by the 4th inning giving up 4- 5 runs at that point.

The other games came after he had less than100 pitches in the previous start. He better than average or great in those games.

This year in game 3 he threw 108 pitches in 7 innings I think. We will see how the ball rolls tonight.

I can't wait for this game.

No way....he will use Hughes, Joba, Roberston, Coke or Marte there....it will depend on matchups who he uses, but not a chance in hell he brings Mo in the 7th inning

Gotcha -- I think he would go to his other guys too, as he's hesitant to use Mo even for a 6 out save at this point in his career. It wouldn't shock me if he actually did use him for a 9 out save, though.

Yeah, I'm not sure what to expect from Pettitte tonight. My biggest fear is the Yankees bats blowing Pedro out of the water tonight. I just hope he keeps us in the game. It's weird too cause I'm a big fan of Pedro and believe in him, but there's always that thought in the back of my mind of him getting rocked. Hopefully he goes 6 IP, 3 ER and we can get some run support for him.

 

[DJ Rhude]

I'm not worried about Andy...he's a gamer.....and like he said, he wasn't sharp last time he pitched on 6 days rest, and he only went 6 innings....3 days rest won't matter

If he used him in the 7th inning, someone should put him in a strait jacket right on the spot

Phillies/Yankees fans:

What's your confidence level for tonight's game? 1 being the least confident, 10 being the highest.

I'm at a 5 -- I think it could go either way, I have no strong feelings one way or the other. The Phils offense needs to show up, because I expect the Yankees to score 5 runs or so tonight.

Sitting with a Shotgun in my mouth, as soon as the BP takes over.

Hahaha, they definitely get the blood pressure rising whenever they come in.

 

[DJ Rhude]

I feel good about this game......much better than I would a game 7....that would be nervous time

 

[SethMode]

For some reason I'm the opposite DJ. This game, although I thought it would be killing me, doesn't have me super worried. I feel good about the Phils tonight, yet I'm TERRIFIED if it were to go to 7.

I'm terrified of tonight, and would have all the confidence in the world in Game 7 if we get there.

I remember you saying that before. I don't know why I feel good about tonight (I refuse to use words like "confidence" since I'm not playing on the field), but it just feels like game 1 did to me, where I think the Phils have a great shot. Game 7 with God only knows who at the mound against CC, tired or no, scares me a lot.

But I don't even really LIKE talking about Game 7 until Game 6 is over with and the Phils have forced one.

 

[EmpireWF]

Mets fan here, hating this series to pieces. I'm not even a Yankee hater but I can't stand their fanbase (they've been somewhat tolerable without winnning in 8 years).

I dislike the Phils for obvious reasons but part of me thinks, let them win another....then lose to the Mets next year. But that doesn't make much sense, does it?

I've barely watched the world series because of this fucking conundrum.

I hear you. Game 6 has to be won first. For me, I feel the toughest part is battling back to force a Game 7, because the pressure is still on us. If we do force a Game 7, then the pressure shifts to the Yankees IMO because they don't want to go down as only the 3rd team to ever blow a 3-1 series lead.

Like you said, our pitching would be up in the air for Game 7, but we can worry about that if we get to that point.

Honestly, if I were a Mets fan, I just wouldn't watch. Why would you? What possible joy could you get out of it? If the Yanks win, the douchebag Yankee fans that had backed off a little will come thundering out. As for Phils fans, well...I'm sure you saw this season what it was like. Or any season really. But Phils fans have a WS under their belt could not have helped matters.
