    ...still think we're inferior?






    ;)

    i don't think any of us really thought the phillies were inferior. they got respect around the yankee threads. no one expected this series to be a walk in the park.

    and philly fans should probably control their arrogance after winning just one game.


    the reason for me posting that was because quite a bit of you guys, or more likely people who don't know anything about the sport, thought the yanks would steam roll over the champs. i know if you're a real fan, you know how evenly matched these two teams are.

    i honestly didnt expect to win game 1. a couple things you have to be really concerned about:
    1-i think tonight may be a slug fest. our bullpen is 110% rested. yours is.........eh, not :mrgreen:
    2-chase utley is in a fucking zone. when the top of our lineup is clicking, it is extremely hard to beat us.

    good luck though. :arrow: :mrgreen:

    I'd love for Pedro to shut em down tomorrow, the Phils need more offense tomorrow to pull it out. It would be so nice but we shall see.

    Peace

    No one thought they would come back in 96 either.....

    That said i understand what you are saying and i think it is important to even things up. I hate that AJ has this pressure on him.

    he makes a helluva pie though.. Watching him when he cruises through the first few innings, it often seems like you're waiting for the other shoe to drop.

    I don't mind the Hairston move. Not crazy about the Posada move though. I think he should at least DH for .....dribbler ground out Matsui.

    I am with you, I dont have as much of a problem with the Hairston move than leaving Posada out again. I do think that Hinske should be in there instead of Hairston. Haristons numbers against Pedro are just slightly better than Hinskes and Hinske has the ability to turn on one

    Actually,,...i just realized, the reason they can't dh posada i think is bc they have no other catcher with cervelli not on the roster so you gotta play it safe i guess??? I'm not sure,...can you move a DH to a field position mid game then put a new dh in the lineup???

    Bottom line,...whatever the starters are....AJ and the heart of the order need to own this game.

    Pitcher would bat if Posada moved from DH to catcher so yeah, they can't really do that.

    For sure, gotta get it done tonight.

    Are we watching the Phillies broadcast? It's 85% Phillies coverage. Close ups of Pedro every pitch. Tex ties it up with a HR. They talk more about Pedro.

    A J !!!!

    not pretty but we are on the board. 21 k's in 2 games. Really??? C'mon.
    i'm sure if you said -- CC lost, a-rod 0-series with 6k, team with 21k's over 2 games i would for sure think we were down 0-2.
    But i'll take it.
