[World Series] Philadelphia Phillies vs. New York Yankees

[mobbdeep1122]

That loss hurt, I can't lie. Tonight is basically our elimination game. Can't go down 3-1 to NY, just can't do it.

Cole Hamels is a certified pussy this year. He needs to develop a third pitch this off season because a 2 pitch pitcher won't work in the MLB.

PS-ARod's ball was a HR, imo, they got the call right

 

[DJ Rhude]

John Kruk was mad as hell last night over the overturned call

I'm still scratching my head as to why Hamels would throw Andy a curve ball.......that was a huge turning point in the game....that's probably the only pitch he can hit lol

Last year he was money in the playoffs....he's still young enough to develop that third pitch

 

[Obst]

If we win tonight then we are right back in it with Lee going Game 5, but there is no way in hell Joe Blanton wins tonight.

No doubt. He is only 25 and still learning how to pitch. He really needs to focus this off season and get his shit together. Next season will be a big one for Hamels to see if he can turn it around.

Seeing a lot less WS records above the avatars now that the tides have turned.

GO YANKS

I like every Yank fan here but you. 90% of what you say is douchy or stupid, regardless of the topic.

 

[SethMode]

Personally, I still don't think that it was inconclusive or that there was enough to overturn it. But as I said before, in the end it didn't end up mattering.

The two strike curveball still has me bewildered. Damnit Cole.

 

[DJ Rhude]

The big deal is, the curve is not his best pitch.....and every time he threw the curve the Yanks pounded it.....even the fox crew were bewildered he would choose to throw Pettitte that lolipop.....if you get beat, ideally you would want it to be against your best pitch

Ask Mark Wohlers about pitch selection and Jim Leyritz lol

 

[kmanharris]

Noone here is an MLB pitcher but you don't throw your THIRD best pitch to the opposing pitcher. Honestly every pitcher (except CC because he LOVES hitting) should be an easy out. He throws a curve to Swisher, double. Curve to Pettite, rbi single. The flood gates opened after that and it ended up being to much for Philly to overcome.

Hopefully CC can go the distance tonight or we can win by a lot. I don't think Mo will be able to go again after pitching 3 innings the past 2 games.

Exactly. I don't pretend to know how to pitch, but basic logic would tell you that that was a mistake. Having watched probably 90-95% of Phillies games this season, and quite possibly every Hamels start, I can tell you that his curveball hasn't looked good ALL season. So why would you use it as your payoff pitch on what is supposed to be the easiest out? It's just crazy.

 

[Rayman]

Hamels is hurt.

I can't prove it, but there's something wrong with him physically IMO. He's not the same guy and that grated on his confidence.

Last night was a great example of him losing faith in himself, but his stuff just isn't as electric regardless.

 

[mobbdeep1122]

Lets hope the Phillies follow the Eagles lead....lol damn

 

[DJ Rhude]

Yanks need to win tonight so my sports day isn't totally fucked lol

 

[Rayman]

Philly fans showing their usual class lol

 

[DJ Fog]

BOO YA!

Magic Number : 1

Damon with the at bat of the night

 

[Blade]

ughh

 

[Chrispy]

Great fight by the yankees tonight

I wouldn't be mad if we lost tomorrow, i kind of want to win it in New York

 

[Rayman]

Yankees win thanks to three runs in the 9th.

3-1 series lead

Owned the Phillies infield on that one play.

And that, my friends, is the difference between Mariano Rivera and Brad Lidge.

Also, please refer to him as A-God from here on out.

Yankees are just too good this year ... and Phillies fucked if the game is close and Rivera is on the mound.
