The BIG Four Oh baby!

Is it me or did the Umpires decided that winning against the Yankees is a violation of baseball rules and so gave the win to them?

I'm for getting rid of replay in Baseball. First, officials in MLB are some of, if not the best officials in professional sports. Second, one of the things that makes them great is that that don't get in the way of the game. (ussually), third they ruthlessly enforce professional conduct. Name one other professional sport that will toss a player or coach out of a game for misbehaving as quickly as baseball umps will? The last thing MLB needs is a committee to screw up the game more by far then any bad call can, as all to often happens in football. The way officiating screws up the pace and the flow of a game is the main thing I don't like about football. MLB shouldn't be emulating the worst aspects of another sport. (ok, I'm off my soap box now )

The ball would have gone over if not for the camera. If a fan touches the ball and it bounces back but the fan was above the line it is a home run. It takes very little time and could take less if MLB would put monitors near the field so the Umps could just step over to them. There were some horrible calls in the early rounds of the post season that should have been overturned, and many of them would have gone against the Yankees. Games should not be decided by missed calls, they should be decided by the play of the teams. Off my box now too.

As for last night's game...Cole who? Did someone REALLY say that the pitching in Phil is BETTER than the pitching in NY? Granted Lee is good, but he is only one. We beat Pedro, and we chased Hamels out in 4 1/3. And WHO are they pitching tonight? Very real chance that the Yankees will go up 3-1 IN Philly.

I've been against the instant replay in MLB since before it was instituted, although I admit that most of the times I have seen it used have been in my team's favor.

CC will definitely be a tough obstacle for the Phillies to overcome.

3 games to 1! All you nay sayers didn't see that did ya? Lee will probably win tomorrow and then back to Yankee land so they can celebrate their world championship with people worthy of the celebration.

No, I have to admit, I didn't see this.

I definitely worried for the Yanks after game 1, so, no, I didn't see this coming. Now, prior to game 1, I did think NY would have an easy time of it, but that's partly because I'm prejudiced against the NL...

Game 6 coming up, Series is now 3-2 in favor of the Yanks...

No, it's vile and hateful. Go Phillies! Crush the Evil Empire!!

The top AL teams are not in the same league this year as the top NL teams. The yankees have great relief pitching but insonsitant aging starters and an aging infield that has shown there lacking in the clutch. The Phils have a strogner starting rotation a better closer and a more dynamic offense.

My prediction, Pillies in 6 games. 4 games to 2. There a better team then they were last year.

Just wanted to come back to this one. The Phillies had ONE pitcher, Lee, all the others we no comparison to the Yankees starters. And Pettitte, the aging starter, he pitches great in this position and tonight he did it on 3 days rest, Pedro had more than that and he was GONE in 4. Matsui was his daddy tonight!
