Philadelphia Phillies at New York Yankees, Oct 28, 2009 7:57 PM EDT
Ho-hum, another World Series.
Just kidding, how incredibly GEEKED OUT are you guys for this?! The championship defense begins now!
In a matchup of the last two American League Cy Young Award winners, the Phillies' Cliff Lee and CC Sabathia look to continue their red-hot postseason streaks.
LET'S DO THIS PHILADELPHIA!

Because Francisco was inserted into the regular lineup at 7th, and the other two bumped down a spot?
Come now, surely you didn’t expect Charlie to get creative with the lineup, right? ;)

I don’t even think it’s a good idea. You’re the leadoff man: it’s your job to see some pitches, to start working the pitch count, and hopefully to get on base. A one pitch out is completely counterproductive.

These are all things we can talk about. And more. I know you have not been getting my letters because I know you would write back if you did.
