PrintPhiladelphia Phillies at New York Yankees, Oct 29, 2009 7:57 PM EDT
The Phillies look to take an "intimidating" (maybe not quite "commanding") lead in the World Series tonight behind Pedro Martinez, who happens to know a thing or two about pitching against the Yankees. He'll be opposed by A.J. "Roulette" Burnett, whose performance tonight might just make or break the Yankees' season.
Also, is it just me or does A.J. Burnett look kind of like a really skinny Joe Don Baker in that picture below?
One more, then they go home to Philadelphia.
Discuss the game below.

slugfest coming?
if Pedro and AJ both get into trouble … IF…. given Their crappy Middle relief vs ours … MYERS PARK BLANTON HAPP DURBIN… I think we win that sort of game.
I can’t tell directly what it is, but there is something ridiculously ugly about Burnett.

Rollins and Utley swung at some good pitches. I’m positive we can get positive results if we stay at the guy.
Angels fan here
Rootin for your team.
McCarver and Buck just could not wait to get their mouths all over Jeter and A Rod could they?
So the announcers are saying that Yankees Stadium is chanting something they chanted around the most crushing defeat the Yankees have ever had? I can live with that.
best part about "Who's your daddy?"
The Red Sox completely pwnd the Yankees that very fall.

the talking heads over at espn
are saying pedro will get lit up esp by aroid…
funny pti and around the horn both commented about deadspin (having excerpts of donaghys book), when deadspin was the first to know about steve phillips (and then espn head said don’t talk to deadspin) – classic.
Yankees had 2 K’s and a weak pop up to Rollins that didn’t even hit the dirt along the second baseline.
He meant the Phillies, but didn’t want to be presumptuous.

Pedro's great tonite
And also does anyone else’s audio sound funny?
"The punt to DeSean Jackson. The punt. Short, Jackson takes it at the 32. Looks for running room, reverses the field. He's at the 40. 50, 45, 40, 35, 30, He's gonna go!
"McNabb in the shotgun again. McNabb takes the snap, fakes, he's back, he's looking, he is going deep for DeSean Jackson, who races, has it! TOUCHDOWN!!! DeSean Jackson!!

It occurred to me watching highlights from the 2008 postseason that I really, really miss Harry… :(

I will say, it actually makes post season better, since I am not angered that I have to listen to the Fox crew…

it’s not quite the same, it never will be, but Franzke has made the most of his opportunity I think.

probably gonna win the cup since cities usually win sports championships in bunches
the Princeton offense will be as successful in the NBA as it has been at Princeton.

they’re as excited as everybody. Plus it has to be hard to see.

not as much as
the catcher coming to the mound every pitch to get to relievers (happened during alcs), i really want their to be a limit like for coaches (but they are counted separately obviously)
naw, a double.

They called it right this time
The Twins got screwed in the same location earlier in the postseason.

Reminds me of one of my favorite T-shirts I've ever seen.
Up here in Boston after Damon signed with the Yankees…

An error on A-Rod. Say it isn’t so.
(I guess the scorer says it isn’t so. Wow.)

if u don't get it
matt stairs looks like stone cold steve austin, and he uses his intro music in philly!
im sure you know...
He was actually hitting .317 at some point this year in early july i think? maybe it was early august?
he was lost behind Ibanez’s monster first half, but from a consistency standpoint he was really the Phils most consistent hitter. He really was. And aw hell, let’s be positive, maybe he can turn it around again.
Fatigue has to be part of his deal. With Dobbs also sub-awful he played a lot more this season than last.
by Wet Luzinski on Oct 29, 2009 8:33 PM EDT up reply actions
Anybody think A-Rod should at least have knocked the ball down and prevented the run from scoring. Also, the way he was running I didn’t think Ibanez was going to make it, so Damon’s arm is really bad.
by phillyinportland on Oct 29, 2009 8:32 PM EDT reply actions
if you’re cheering for the yankees – yes
If you’re not – no – I’m glad it happened to him and another team scored on his error.
by angelsfan777 on Oct 29, 2009 8:33 PM EDT up reply actions
You may be right – I’m just shocked that a run scored on a grounder to left like that. I’ll take it.

Not really since ARod really has tapped ass we could only dream about.

Come on Pedro, just hold it together for 6 innings, buddy.
(I’m worried about all the pitches they’re making him throw.)
I am going to dream about Pedro’s fingers.

Jay-Z and Alicia Keys
after all that drama, I missed it. Mrs. WL said it kind of fell flat to the audience…and more or less concurred it was the anticipated shark jump. Your thoughts?
Thats funny cause they are both dead.

Yeah, the only reason I know about Aaliyah is because she played Queen Akasha in that miserable movie adaptation of Anne Rice’s “Queen of the Damned.”

If you believe in such things like destiny – that catch from Ibanez might smell familiar.
