Phillies - Yankees game 6

12 hours until game time......

stevek · November 3, 2009 9:01PM

I saw some Yankees players being interviewed - they seemed a bit nervous to me. Impending doom?

stevek · November 3, 2009 9:03PM

Phillies players appear eager and confident - the look of a team that is a championship team.

softparade · November 3, 2009 9:39PM

We all know the Yankees are all incredibly nervous nellies right now. We know this series is over. The Yanks blew their chance in Game 5. The chances of them being able to squeak out a win in 2 games at home with a rested Rivera are almost nil. We all know that because in 2004 when the Yanks blew a 3-O lead means it will happen again because Pedro is here to dominate the Yankees.

The Phils are going to need to score at least 10 tonight if they want to force a game seven. I see a game like the one they lost to the Blue Jays back in '93.

Dboneesq · November 3, 2009 10:41PM

Game six: Yankees 10 ... Phillies 6.

MantleMarisFordBerra · November 3, 2009 10:56PM

Can't wait to unwind in front of the ol' telly tonite with a cold one & watch the Yanks lock up # 27. Some sports writers have been talking about Chase Utley winning the MVP even if the Phils lose. The World Series MVP hasn't gone to a member of the losing team since 1960 but if Chase goes 2 for 4 with another homer or something like that and no Yankee has an outstanding performance I think it may happen again this year.

softparade · November 3, 2009 11:14PM

I have no problem with Utley winning the MVP on the losing team.

Hey, I'll admit, all kidding aside, in that game 5, 9th inning, the Yankees fought like mad dogs to get back and try to win that game - the expressions and determination in their faces was a bit frightening to an opposing fan who is rooting against them - I've developed a lot of respect for this Yankees team that is obviously hungry as yell to win...and that's what makes for dam good sport.

If the Yankees win it this season, of course in the off season they'll be pampered with money, fame, commercials, movie roles, etc, and may lose that "mad dog" edge...but for now, they have it and the Phillies are gonna need their top game and some luck to win this WS - gonna be tough.

WinPitcher · November 4, 2009 1:17AM

Too bad some of there 'fans' are not as confident.

Please see your thread of 2 days ago.

DIMEMAN · November 4, 2009 2:26AM

If the Yankees stay away from Utley tonite and pitch to Howard.....................they WIN! Simple as that!

There is an obligatory response here that must be given by any Phillies fan -

F Joe Carter.

We win 5 - 2...

Game 7 is gonna be awesome!!

MCMLVTopps · November 4, 2009 3:45AM

What happened to your loser attitude a couple of days ago??? Typical fair weather fan, thinks his team sucks when they're down, but ah, when they win it's a different story. PATHETIC!!

Hyperion · November 4, 2009 4:22AM

<< Game six: Yankees 10 ... Phillies 6. >>

I could see that; but it might be the 5th inning score.

Hey chit for brains...I never stated or implied whatsoever that the Phillies suck...why should I...they won a championship last season and are in the World Series this year as a big underdog against a hungry, excellent baseball team...if the Phillies lose, that's not the definition of a team that sucks. Next time try to make some sense before you post. Capiche?

big underdog?

Come on .... please don't make it sound like the Yanks were facing the Colorado Rockies. I don't care what most talking heads have said ..... the Phillies were in no way shape or form "big underdogs" in this series.

the bookies had it almost 2 to 1 - that's considered a big underdog for a WS

3 hours until game time......

yankeeno7 · November 4, 2009 6:21AM

If the Yankees can hold back from his off speed junk and make him throw fastballs, Pedro will be shelled. It's going to be tough to beat Pettitte at home in a World Series game. I like the way this looks for the Yankees if they just follow my advice

Update: I just got off the phone with Girardi to tell him how today's lineup must approach Pedro. He thanked me for my call and stated he couldnt have gone through this year without me

edmundfitzgerald · November 4, 2009 6:24AM

OK, I hate to admit this........but.....................................................I wouldn't mind seeing the Yankees win for one reason only,
and that's because Mr. Steinbrenner has been one heck of a nice generous guy to our military.

Win one more for the boss before he meets his maker.

BTW, go Phillies !

stevek · November 4, 2009 8:26AM

start your engines...........................................

stevek · November 4, 2009 8:43AM

At the stadium, i don't wanna hear no fans cheerin' - lots and lots of silence...silence is golden tonight.

yankeeno7 · November 4, 2009 8:49AM

Who's Your Daddyyyyyyyy!!!

blu62vette · November 4, 2009 8:50AM

I got my favorite pizza and am ready. Mary J. Blige looked like a bee with those glasses.

My concerns: Andy pitching to Howard. I could see a problem there.

My surprise: Cano comes up big.

Let's get it on!!!!!

Hyperion · November 4, 2009 9:15AM

Im pathetic.... Im not playing, Ive got nothing riding on this..this doesn't mean jack to me, but Ive got 5000 times the normal amount of adrenalin flowing through my veins. This wont end well

A thrilla from Godzilla.

Have they showed him at all? I havent seen him.

blu62vette · November 4, 2009 10:04AM

Someone warming in the pen in the 3rd. If they have to pull pedro early how bad would that be for the Phillies if they force game 7?

stevek · November 4, 2009 10:13AM

any forecast for rain?

stevek · November 4, 2009 10:17AM

I just rented a plane - I'm trying to seed some clouds over Yankee Stadium.

stevek · November 4, 2009 10:22AM

if Feliz can homer here I swear i'll never ask for anything again

stevek · November 4, 2009 10:25AM

not looking very good right now

stevek · November 4, 2009 10:27AM

getting closer to checkmate

Hyperion · November 4, 2009 10:28AM

yankees are getting the clutch hits so far.....
phils getting no clutch hits...
obviously, the difference. as we creep closer and closer to the mariano zone.

I would have NEVER let pedro face mastui again, after blasting 6 foul HRs in the first at bat...

stevek · November 4, 2009 10:28AM

any forecast for volcanos? earthquakes? anything to postpone the game?

DIMEMAN · November 4, 2009 10:29AM

It's hard telling how many runs that bogus called 3rd strike on Arod cost the Yanks. That wasn't even close to the plate.

stevek · November 4, 2009 10:30AM

<< yankees are getting the clutch hits so far.....

that about sums it up - Phils needed a near perfect game to win, and not even close to getting it. Yankees are just too good this year.

stevek · November 4, 2009 10:33AM

well, this is good for me...I don't have to listen to any postgame shows...I can get some paperwork done, maybe do some repairs around the house I've been neglecting...maybe I'll go outside and rake some leaves.....

Before you go, swing by my place so I can give you a bunch of Dandelion seeds to sprinkle over the outfield as well.

I'm sure the groundskeeper would love that

stevek · November 4, 2009 10:36AM

Hey lookie, they've got a "Friends" marathon on tonight - i hate that show more than I can breathe, but tonight I'm gonna watch it until dawn. LOL

and now we see why... doh! rollins HAD been getting good swings on andy. why he decided to swing at the first 2 pitches he saw after he just walked ruiz... well. that's just jimmy being jimmy.

stevek · November 4, 2009 10:45AM

Phils don't do something next inning with the heart of the lineup...I'm declaring this game/series over.

Don't you have some invoices to send out or something else to do after the game? Remove the Phils pic after Christmas...don't ruin the holiday spirit for me, okay? I've gotten used to enjoying all these purdy Phillies siglines in the forum....i'm pleading with ya, beggin' ya......
