it's a shame and it promotes some of the nonsensical comments i've seen from people on here...
Nah, dude, the Daily News facked up here. That Red, Hot and Sexy thing is on the back cover of the paper. But, then again, I guess that's what happens when you have 7 days in between series.
UGH....again more a reflection on the sad state of journalism than ignorance though.
Yeah, a lot to be said for the news media in all aspects. Ya know it's dark when the hot chick on NBC10 is leaving the sports department because they can't pay her anymore(she was actually pretty good), and some morning show douche on Fox29 is doing sports and says things such as, "Get on the cooch train!" Even though that's pretty funny.

where the hell is dorothy krysiuk these days?!
yeah...and watching channel 6 without gary papa is just horrendous. that keith russell dude is 100% AWFUL.
It starts tomorrow! if there is a ton of Yankee fan's being assholes in OUR BUILDING at OUR SHOWS, and they don't expect some sort of backlash, they're nuts.
So I'm asking all Yankee fan's to please be respectful? I don't wanna kick anyone's teeth in this week!

Ahhhhhh.....the threats.
I will be there representing the Yanks and respectful (as I have been in Philly for 3+ years). All it takes is one clown to ruin your night though.

I think the local news in general is a waste of time. Like I give a fuck if a kitten is stuck in a tree on 8th and Fairmount
quite possibly the most ignorant article i have ever read.
well done new york. well done. :roll:
the people interviewed certainly do not represent your city all that well. neither does the writer for that matter...at least i hope.[/quote]
It's the post dude, can't take it seriously.
Just stopped by the front page of philly.com and this is the main headline story is the following....

Agreed, its terrible but no one ever claimed the Post was classy.
I am a New Yorker living in Philly for 3 years now and while I prefer NYC and spend many weekends up there, I think Philadelphia is a great city. I also think that the Yankees fans that contribute regularly on this board are a great group of fans.[/quote]
totally agree, both cities are great in their own way. I love both places
Think this song sums up this thread and the atmosphere all week:
All my rivals will see what I have in store,... my gun
I've been harboring fleets in this resevoir,... red sun...
And this building is about to explode...

"I play good, hard-nosed basketball.
Things happen in the game. Nothing you
can do. I don't go and say,
"I'm gonna beat this guy up."
and now, i will breakdown this series for you:
LINE UP:
RF. Advantage... World Champions. Werth is much better offensively and defensively than Swisher. Swisher is absolute garbage. Seems like a douche bag as well. I would like to punch him in the face.
CF. Advantage...World Champions. Victorino is better at the plate and in the field. Cabrera is pretty good though.
LF. Advantage...Push/maybe slight World Champs. Ibanez has better power numbers, Damon has better average, and OBP. Ibanez is a little better in the field--but defense is not either of their strong points. Plus Ibanez has not looked very good since mid June.
1B. Slight Advantage...World Champions. Texiera is the best defensive first baseman in the league, but Howard's power numbers trump him. Plus, the NLCS MVP has 9 more rbi's in the post season.
2B. Slight Advantage...World Champions. Defensively they are about even. Utley's 2 throwing errors last week were an aberration. He's a decent defensive 2nd basemen like Cano is. Offensively, Cano has a much better average, but 26 has better power numbers and an OBP about 40 points higher.
SS. Slight Advantage...Yankees. Defensively, Rollins is a much better player but he has had a below average offensively to say the least. Jeter doesnt have the power and run producing numbers that Rollins has, but he makes up for it in average and OBP.
3B. Advantage...Yankees. They actually have similiar fielding percentages. I was expecting Feliz's to be much higher but they are basically the same. Offensively, no question about it. However, sooner or later A-Fraud will realize it's October...hey oh
C. Slight Advantage Yankees. Chooch is having a stellar post season yet again. He's one of the best defensive catchers in the game. But Posada's offensive numbers are much better.
DH. Unfair Advantage...Yankees. Stupid rule. Stupid Japanese hitter who has not played in the field at all this year. F him and F the DH.
PITCHING:
1. Push...maybe slight advantage Yankees. CC and Lee are pretty even. CC's numbers look better because Lee was on a bad team and got traded. Their post season numbers are insanely good though. Both of them. The Phils crushed CC last year more a result of the fans getting in his head than with him being overused. Him pitching at home is an advantage.
2. Push...maybe slight advantage Yankees. Burnett vs Pedro. You don't know which one of these guys is going to show up. I don't think Pedro can repeat what he did the other week. But if he gives us 5 or 6 decent innings, I will be pleased. Burnett is a punk. I would like to kick him in the nuts. He is good for at least one or two lengthy bad stretches during a game. Gotta take advantage.
3. Advantage...Yankees. Only because of Pettite's post season record and you don't know which Hamels will show up. Plus his fast ball was struggling to hit 90 last week. But, if he regains is MVP form from last year....look out Greg--you son of a bitch!
4. Advantage...Phillies. The Yanks are only going with a 3 man rotation I think. We might throw Blanton in Game 5 (match Lee with CC in game 4). I think our rotation is deeper.
Bullpen. Advantage...Yankees. Both pens looked great in the post season. Phil Hughes struggled a bit but so did Madsen. But the Yanks were more consistent during the season and you gotta go Rivera over Lidge based on this year's performance.
SO.......
Offensively, in New York, its pretty much a push with a slight edge to the Yanks because of the stupid DH. If the Phils can split and retake home field....advantage, World Champions.
Updated: October 28, 2009, 5:01 PM ET Lawyer: Woman scored online tix in past
PHILADELPHIA -- A lawyer for a Philadelphia woman charged with offering sex for World Series tickets says she is "a nice lady overcome with Phillies fever."
Lawyer William J. Brennan says Susan Finkelstein might have dropped double entendres in her Craigslist ad but never explicitly offered sex.
Brennan says the 43-year-old University of Pennsylvania graduate student wanted to take her husband to a game between her beloved Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Yankees.
Brennan says the self-described "buxom blonde" was trying to score tickets online, as she had in the past.
Finkelstein was arrested Tuesday after meeting at a suburban bar with an undercover police officer responding to the ad.
Brennan says he hopes to get the charges dismissed.
