2009 World Series: Phillies VS Yankees

[bostonguy]

Phillies in 5 or 6 games

[Mel_13]

You've really got to feel for fans of the Indians. Sabathia and Lee in Game 1.

[Betsy]

The Yankees in 6.
I would love it to be in 4. :rollin
Go Yankees Go :clap

[Alonzo Harris]

:lmao :lmao :lmao Yankees/Spurs fans

[kromediablo]

Phillies in 6 or 7. I think the phils have better clutch hitters up and down the lineup. Not likely pedro will have any redemption so I think he loses a game. It would be nice though! rollins, howard, and the flyin hawaiian...real clutch

[IronMexican]

You've really got to feel for fans of the Indians. Sabathia and Lee in Game 1.

That's about 40 wins between them when they are hot. What kind of front office lets the both of those guys go?

[crc21209]

Phillies in 6.

[lefty]

Philles in 5


And man, Fox sucked so much Yankee dick yesterday, OMG

[JamStone]

That's about 40 wins between them when they are hot. What kind of front office lets the both of those guys go?

Not that Shapiro should be defended, but the kind of front office that lets both of those guys go is a small market team that doesn't win games and has about zero chance of retaining either of them once they become free agents. They wouldn't have let them go if they felt like they had even a half way decent chance of resigning either of them.

As for the World Series, like many, I think this is probably one of the better World Series there has been in a while.

Yankees actually look like they match-up well against the Phillies. They have two starting left handed pitchers to counter the heavy left handed bats in the Philly line-up, they have the offensive firepower to match them, and they have the stronger bullpen. Should be an exciting series.

I got Yankees in 6.

[The Gemini Method]

How about the Earth opening up and swallowing both teams and it is a draw? I was looking forward to one of the local teams making it to the WS, but alas this may be a great duel between a traditional AL team and an AL team playing in the NL. If the Phillies can manage to take one of the first two at the New Yankee Cracked Stadium, they have a real good chance at taking this in 6. They have the bats to challenge the Yankees as was not the case with the Angels. Only 2 other teams have repeated in the past 20 years and that was the Yankees of the late 90's and the Blue Jays of the early 90's. I'm going to think this will go 7 games and I hope the Phils win. But I don't really care.

I agree CC was as good as gone. I think they could have re-signed Lee, though. Who in my opinion, is better.


I'll be cheering for the Phils but not watching it.

Well, Lee wasn't stellar beginning the season after his Cy Young winning campaign in '08, so the Indians had to consider moving him since they were hit hard by the economic times. I don't think Lee is better than Sabbathia, but in the playoffs--they've both been really good for their respective teams.

But I'm with you on this--watching this will be unbearable.

[KSeal]

This should be a great series, almost to close to call. Any way both teams can lose? That would be nice.

[EricB]

An all east coast World Series.

ESPN just fainted from blowing its load constantly over a 24 hour period.

[symple19]

Face it people, this series came down to the two best teams. Phillies in 7

[symple19]

Down with the evil empire!

[v2freak]

Phillies in 6, Lee beats Sabathia in game 1

[Basketballgirl25]

Go yankees!

[crc21209]

Let's go Phillies! Fuck the Yankees!

[bostonguy]

Nice to see the Yanks finally meeting their match. This series is over in 5-6 games. The Phillies are just a matchup nightmare.

[LnGrrrR]

I am sincerely rooting for the Phillies.

[dirk4mvp]

:lol yankees

[gaKNOW!blee]

lol AROD

[IronMexican]

Wooo!

[crc21209]

Cliff Lee is just a straight up BEAST. He made everyone on that Yankees roster his bitch. Go Phillies! :tu

[bostonguy]

The Yankee implosion is only beginning. They will probably win game 2 due to it being a desperation game. Once the series shifts back to Philly, the Yanks will be lucky to pull out 1 more victory. As I said before, the Yanks are going down in 5 or 6 games. Their last 3 trips to the world series ending up in loses.:lmao:lmao:lmao

[BRHornet45]

Yankees will lose yet another World Series ... this will be their 3rd in a row (01, 03, 09). money can't always buy championships.

[Alonzo Harris]

:lmao Where are you shitstain Yankees/Spurs fans now?

fuckin Yanks fans. I really hope Pedro pitches a gem so I can hear funeral-like silence throughout the course of this game.

Who's your daddy? well, the Phils are the Yanks daddy.

And oh yeah, I hope A-rod has another doughnut. He looked unnerved in the box last night. I don't see that changing

[symple19]

A-fraud should've been charged with an error. 1-0 Phils

Enough is enough with these blown calls

http://l.yimg.com/a/i/us/sp/ed/experts/passan.png By Jeff Passan (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/expertsarchive;_ylt=AhTY.J4WHmlobax3kBZxAVoHU84F?a uthor=Jeff+Passan), Yahoo! Sports 7 hours, 55 minutes ago

NEW YORK – Umpires added two more tick marks to their overflowing register of screw-ups Thursday night. These came in Game 2 of a World Series in which Major League Baseball broke from protocol and brought in a specific crew of veteran arbiters to ensure the miscues of the first two rounds wouldn’t dare find their way into games of such importance.
So, uh, oops?
It’s laughable at this point. It really is. It’s confounding to see players and managers and executives pooh-pooh the idea of instant replay when MLB is approaching a dozen missed calls in its most important month of the season. And it’s horrifying to see games turn not on the actions of players but of the men charged with enforcing the rules. And it’s sad that only an epic World Series will save this month from being remembered for the dodgy eyesight of middle-aged men.
Welcome to Blindtober, where everything that’s wrong is right.

Umpires discuss a disputed call in the seventh inning.
(AP Photo/David J. Phillip)

“Utley was safe,” Charlie Manuel said, and he said it out of nowhere. The Philadelphia Phillies (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/teams/phi/;_ylt=AveenUdSTWpv_bkbydg46msHU84F)’ manager was trying to shake off his team’s 3-1 loss to the New York Yankees (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/teams/nyy/;_ylt=Aq_hP12z4l27YwH9c3zlL5cHU84F) that evened the series at a game apiece, and he couldn’t get past the fact that Chase Utley (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/7072/;_ylt=AiQ.YZLPkdt3ww_NxsRn6SsHU84F)(notes) (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/7072/news;_ylt=AloispBR9BT7MCW0g2xzMy4HU84F), his second baseman, had grounded into a double play. Because Utley hadn’t. Oh, Brian Gorman called him out at first base – and since MLB is too pigheaded to expand replays beyond home run calls, the call stood, even though Utley’s foot beat Derek Jeter’s (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/5406/;_ylt=AiPTLoS50q_kyQM9a2jffjcHU84F)(notes) (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/5406/news;_ylt=AkPE.64ugivn.DsPIl9YktIHU84F) throw.
“Go look,” Manuel said. “Yeah. He was safe.”
Had Gorman determined so, up would’ve stepped Ryan Howard (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/7437/;_ylt=Aq2Zkyj1CR.o1NNKT1ockFYHU84F)(notes) (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/7437/news;_ylt=AhXi98hgQd.2vZ31nhauYJcHU84F), the world’s best power hitter, with men on first and third base and two outs in the eighth inning of a two-run World Series game, to face Mariano Rivera (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/5400/;_ylt=AqNgrK_.vw8U4oAP_LQ2ZtcHU84F)(notes) (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/5400/news;_ylt=AmPvcM1RmyHQYtH8JtDhCvUHU84F), the best closer baseball has seen, and certainly the most effective postseason pitcher. Bud Selig drools over such matchups. Of course, the commissioner spent a few minutes earlier in the day explaining why expanded replay doesn’t fly in his world, so he retreated back to his cocoon robbed of an epic moment in waiting because we’re supposed to accept human error as an excuse.
Never mind that technology allows us to fix it. Technology, in the antiquated world of baseball, is looked upon as a bogeyman. So, in that spirit, let’s, for a moment, renounce it all. Spell check? Froget ti. Cars? America could use the exercise. The Internet? Shut it down. Except for MLB.com. Because that’s worth a billion and change, and Bud wouldn’t want to forfeit that in the name of some misguided maxim.
Umpiring this postseason falls under such scrutiny because technology spoils us with the right call almost every time. Sure, there are situations that are inconclusive. Most are rather clear. When something so obvious remains in place despite your eyes telling you otherwise, it feels wrong and unfair, and any sympathy toward the parties who allow their poor work to be supported by flimsy reasoning disintegrates.
Not that it makes things better, but bad calls did go both ways Thursday. In the sixth inning, Johnny Damon (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/5484/;_ylt=AspyjOacb1WREr4r2u3_cMAHU84F)(notes) (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/5484/news;_ylt=AlBRea1mpV2MWs8RF_t6QbkHU84F) hit a sinking line drive to first base. Howard plucked the ball off the ground – the dirt in front of his glove kicked into the air – and fired to second base immediately, as clear a signal as possible that he hadn’t caught the ball. His throw went wide. All runners were assumed safe. Except Gorman – him again – said Howard caught the ball, which made its way back to first base for a double play.
“Did I catch it?” Howard said. “Well, they called him out.”
And he winked.
Now, maybe something got caught in Howard’s right eye. Damn if it didn’t look like a wink, though, a nod to those whose displeasure with bad calls demands more reaction from baseball than putting together a crew of veterans who still need a safety net. Nearly every call they make is correct, and yet they’re like the long snapper, taken for granted and remembered for the ones they miss.
“I’m not saying nothing about the umpiring,” said Manuel, who then did exactly the opposite: “I’ve probably never thought umpiring was good, if you want to know the truth.”
Almost certainly the old-time umpires were no better than the newer ones. They just didn’t have cameras and super-slow-motion replays to niggle their every call. It makes replay understandable, feasible, workable.
“Then you take away from the nature of the game,” Phillies center fielder Shane Victorino (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/7104/;_ylt=Ai1gQd4q3dDMjeXRlkSWpiwHU84F)(notes) (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/7104/news;_ylt=Apwu0RzK6yURjQzjrGR0.zkHU84F) said. “They’re human. Everyone makes mistakes. It kills you, but again, how many times does it happen?”
Hmmm. Well, there was the non-call on a pitch that hit Brandon Inge’s (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/6681/;_ylt=AgvesIJfxIQZcDOBRRKRfXgHU84F)(notes) (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/6681/news;_ylt=Ap1H7w7Z.cSZBzzWrZC4jFYHU84F) jersey with the bases loaded and the scored tied in a one-game playoff. And Joe Mauer’s (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/7062/;_ylt=AiCTc3wD6RyjYK9oy0KZjKYHU84F)(notes) (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/7062/news;_ylt=AgQsFnCfTdYJcwyjQ1EuL5oHU84F) would-be double that landed about a foot inside the line but was called foul. Plus that time Jorge Posada (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/5502/;_ylt=AuQmVNOwWTS9zQ4lNm5QTUcHU84F)(notes) (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/5502/news;_ylt=AqjBZCsiNNulFB1Sp5_ppKEHU84F) and Robinson Cano (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/7497/;_ylt=AiX1jw44E5njj41TGZtnleAHU84F)(notes) (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/7497/news;_ylt=AtqjsWVaPgdCziM7qy9_RckHU84F) were both tagged off the base during the ALCS but only Posada was called out. Oh, and when Nick Swisher (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/7435/;_ylt=AjmqLbIdmU_LsmtL_8Lp.0kHU84F)(notes) (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/7435/news;_ylt=AqyJfQQOrJpPYH4NKn0BlFAHU84F) was thrown out and called safe, then left on time during a sacrifice fly and was called out – that was Doublemint fun. Can’t forget Ronnie Belliard (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/5765/;_ylt=Al1HzDLzbTQINHpzBMwVXKoHU84F)(notes) (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/5765/news;_ylt=AsnpkDEvnQruZTUY1h8XiRoHU84F) clearly being tagged out and ruled safe. And two poor calls at first base against Boston in the ALDS. To come full circle, Utley fouled a ball off himself (dead ball), ran it out and got beaten by the throw to first anyway (out) and was declared safe.
“Well, are you going to replay every damn play?” Victorino said. “If you’re going to do that every play, we’re going to play seven-hour games.”
No. No, no, no. That kind of extrapolation doesn’t work here. A solution comes in moderation. A red flag. Twice a game. There usually aren’t more bad calls than that, and if there are, MLB takes a long, hard look at that umpire. Use the challenge flags too early and it’s a mistake that a manager will rue.
This is about the correct, accurate call. Everybody deserves it. If it takes a little longer, it is worth the time, the hassle, the aggravation. Go to the bathroom. Nuke a Hot Pocket. Clip your fingernails. Three minutes isn’t long. Every one of these calls was quite obvious on replay, and almost all would affect the fortunes of the season’s most critical games.
Instead, the World Series turns into a game as much of what-if as what was. For the brilliance of A.J. Burnett (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/6314/;_ylt=AnknFGxBIrun9Qfx.rHHu9wHU84F)(notes) (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/6314/news;_ylt=AmqT_.C.a9KuCIhZ1mDqRc8HU84F) in the face of a potential 0-2 deficit, there was the foot of Utley touching the bag before the ball hit Mark Teixeira’s (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/6788/;_ylt=AkxLQVUTHxX4i_QE99qaI8EHU84F)(notes) (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/6788/news;_ylt=Ai2jSE02.BuCFY5uiUfGzIIHU84F) glove. And for the clutch home run of Hideki Matsui (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/7042/;_ylt=AmzpaqE1hl2BmzuugeNsSy0HU84F)(notes) (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/7042/news;_ylt=Ap_6wNXFgDbwUGevCs16jMgHU84F) off Pedro Martinez (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/4875/;_ylt=AmEI_CTuUXqtMEfpKr2rrIIHU84F)(notes) (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/4875/news;_ylt=AnGUQeVWLBQC9NN0BYzNviAHU84F), there was Howard’s glove clearly not scooping the ball before it bathed in dirt. It’s not yin and yang, either. The two don’t balance out.
They leave us wondering just how much more of this baseball can take before adopting the rational point of view. The game is too good to get broadsided by something so fallible as eyeballs. So long as replay tops the offseason agenda, such a good-faith gesture will help temporarily. Until then, a kind request of the men in blue, who really try to make the right calls, as the World Series moves to Philadelphia for Game 3 and the calendar turns.
Please, don’t let it be Blindvember, too.

[symple19]

Haven't watched this game, but judging by the score, Cole Hamels laid another egg this postseason... Is he hurt or what?

[JamStone]

There are a lot of Yankees who are easy to hate, but I really like Nick Swisher.

[ducks]

I like joe the manager
the others are very easy to not like

[Jacob1983]

If the Phillies lose game 4, this series is pretty much done. Yanks will wrap it up in game 5 if Phillies lose game 4. I'm really not a fan of the instant replay in baseball. If you're going to have instant replay for home runs then you should have instant replay for everything. All or nothing.

[bostonguy]

Comon Phillies! Win tomorrow and this series is back in your control. FML if I have to see these Yankee fuckers win yet another world series. KEEP the 2001 curse alive! :depressed:depressed

[DarkReign]

I remember someone saying something about Phillies NL pitching being "too much" for either of the AL teams coming out of the ALCS.

...yeah, whoops...

So its known, I hate both teams and cities (and their fans). I dont care who wins because I lose as a hater no matter what.

Yankees just have too much offense, too many bats and seeing Pettite drive one in was classic. But all Philly needs to do is win tonight and all the shock and awe of game 3 goes away with a quickness.

[symple19]

I especially enjoyed watching his explosion out of the batter's box.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

shut em down cc

[bostonguy]

Man that game literally made me sick to my stomach. Props to the Yanks. I hate those fuckers with a passion but they are up 3-1 in the series against the defending champs.

[kromediablo]

phillies are not looking good down 3-1 to the yankees. howard, victorino, cole hamil are not showing up at all. chase utley is killin cc with 3 hrs....will see what happens

[Jacob1983]

Phillies are done. This WS has sucked ass in my opinion. It could have been a competitive back and forth WS but the Phillies have not shown up yet. It looks like the Phillies will just be the 2 time defending NL champs rather than the 2 time defending WS champs.

[symple19]

I agree it's over...boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooo

[lefty]

Fuck fuck fuck !!!!!


I hate the Yanks, but they deserve it.

At least Derek Jeter does

[DarkReign]

I especially enjoyed watching his explosion out of the batter's box.

explosion

More like "flailing kick start" with even a little bit of his heel kicking his own ass.

[Basketballgirl25]

I don't understand why people hate the Yankees so much, sure I hate team, but if they are playing and my team is not I really don't care who win, I'd just wish they would all drop dead on the field.

Hope Yankees go in for the kill tonight, got to beat the Phillies

[IronMexican]

Phils live another day. Two in NY wont be easy.

[Spursfan092120]

Phils live another day. Two in NY wont be easy.
Nope..but if anyone can blow it it's the Yanks..

[IronMexican]

Yeah, having the most clutch closer in MLB history works against the Yanks.

[bostonguy]

After todays game, I can see the Phillies winning games 6 and 7. Yanks are up 3-2 due to their bats. At the end of the day, you need solid clutch pitching. The O will only get you so far. If the Yanks are to win this series, it will be due to their pitching.It doesn't matter if they are in New York or not. If the Yanks pitching can't get it together, they will lose this series. The bats can only get you so far. At the end of the day, you need solid clutch pitching. I am not sold on the Yanks having that.

[NRHector]

why is it call the world series if only teams from the states are playing?

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

I hope you're right, but I don't see them losing two straight games in New York, however, if they do, it'll be almost as awesome as the Red Sox winning it all seeing them choke so hard. If they blow a 3-1 series lead we can all expect a massive hangover the next season.

[Jacob1983]

The last time the Yankees had a 3-2 lead in the WS, they blew it. Hopefully, it will happen again.

[Technique]

6-8 against Lee. Yeah, Yankees are not losing this WS.

[Homeland Security]

I especially enjoyed watching his explosion out of my box.

Worst case scenario for the Yanks is CC pitching in game 7.

Theyre winning it all. I mean, cmon, Burnette didnt even last 3 innings. See that happening with Pettitte (never realized his name has 4 "t's")? Or Sabathia?

I think it was obvious once Burnette was pulled the Yanks were just looking to get back to New York as quickly as possible. They still made it semi-close with some good hitting, but just couldnt overcome the HUGE head start the Phils were given.

BTW, Utley is the sheeeeeeeeeeet.

[RedsLakers24]

Utley is a beast, i dont know why but i think we will see a game 7, Andy Pettite pitching in 3 days rest, at his age is not good, but yankees offense could win the game

[Basketballgirl25]

Andy Pettitte pitching on 3 days rest makes me afraid, but Yanks only have one game to win and play at home so better chance. hopefully Yanks win tomorrow so all the Yankee haters can go cry

[v2freak]

why is it call the world series if only teams from the states are playing?

If you look on both teams, many players are not from the states.

[bostonguy]

Andy Pettitte pitching on 3 days rest makes me afraid, but Yanks only have one game to win and play at home so better chance. hopefully Yanks win tomorrow so all the Yankee haters can go cry

I will be crying with tears of joy from watching the Yanks implode in the world series. I can just feel a Phillies comeback. The Phillies pitching will be on fire the next 2 games. Yanks bats will go cold and Philly will repeat.

I knew the Yanks were done in 2004 after AROD slapped the ball out of the first basemans hand in the ALCS. I am hoping to see a defining moment of implosion tomorrow or Thursday night.

I will be crying with tears of joy from watching the Yanks implode in the world series. I can just feel a Phillies comeback. The Phillies pitching will be on fire the next 2 games. Yanks bats will go cold and Philly will repeat.

I can see Pedro pitching a nice game tomorrow but Hamels? Dude is an absolute mess. I think even if it goes to a game seven the Phillies are fucked cause of Hamels. They should have pitched Lee in game four so they had him in game seven. If your the Phillies you have to go down with your best pitcher out there which is obviously Lee.

Fuck comon Phillies!!! You have 15 outs and a 3 run deficit to work with. GET YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR ASSES AND STOP MAKING ANDY PETTITE LOOK GOOD! Yanks pitching isn't that good! FUCK!:depressed

[bostonguy]

Fuck 12 outs away! :depressed:depressed

[bostonguy]

It can't end like this. The Phillies are the defending champs for crying out loud! FIGHT YOUR WAY BACK IN IT GUYS!!!!!

[bostonguy]

Son of a bitch! :depressed

[resistanze]

lol @ Pedro's bandwagoning ass getting lit up in the WS.

[bostonguy]

lol @ Pedro's bandwagoning ass getting lit up in the WS.

It is sad. Pathetic POS Pedro is.

[bostonguy]

Phillies have the bats to comeback. The Yanks pitching has blown leads before. Game is far from over.

[Warlord23]

Matsui = Pedro's daddy

[bostonguy]

7-3! You still have 10 outs to work with. Comon Phillies! You can comeback. Yanks bullpen hasn't been exactly stellar as of late either. LETS GO PHILLIES!!!!:downspin:

[Warlord23]

The thing is, Rivera will probably pitch the last 2 innings. All the Yankee bullpen needs to do now is to get 3 outs, without facing the middle of the Philly lineup

[baseline bum]

Damn, Matsui is tearing shit up tonight. What does he have? 6 RBIs?

[baseline bum]

Wow, horrible effort from the Phillies to try to stop ARod's hit there. They look like they can't wait for this game to be over.

[florige]

Have these championship buying assholes won yet? I want to hurry up and get this over with.

This crap is over. Once Rivera is put in and they have more than a two run lead the Phillies are finished. :depressed

Hurray for the Yanks! Finally a return to glory. Still cringe thinking about 03 and 04. Those were some shitty ass years. Their pitching is what let them down those years and now they finally have some good pitching.

True, there is less conspiracy

But the thing is that in the MLB, teams can buy a championship because there is no salary cap.
Not to mention the steroids problem

Yeah is baseball teams can buy a championship, but that doesn't mean they all do. Some do then more kind of like some NBA teams have won more finals then others. I don't follow baseball as much as basketball through the years, but I say I'm gonna have to start I'm getting sick of all the NBA players like Kobe, Lebron, Dirk, etc being on good teams and everyone talking about them like they are the only players in the game. I hears about the same NBA teams over and over, at least in MLB I hear about different teams more, but that is just me. Maybe if they talk about the Hornets, Thunder, and Nets more I might start liking basketball more again

Yeah, one thing I hate about the NBA is the fact that we always hear about the same guys/teams.
It's much less the case in baseball.

However, I still hate Bud Selig for not even trying to save the Montreal Expos

agreed if we didn't hear about the same players over and over then Basketball would be my favorite sport again. I like basketball as a sport the most outside of major league sports. College is much better
