1. Go Phillies.
2. For all of you Yankee fans, since the draft was implemented, the dominance of the pre-1970's Yankees was mainly due to the fact that it was an open market. After all, if you're Mickey Mantle and from Texas, what is more appealing, going to Cincinnati or St Louis or Milwaukee.......or going to NY City and playing for the Yanks? Plus, then, as now, the Yanks had more $$ to spend. I'm not bashing on NYY legacy, just saying that if you look at the history of it BEFORE there was a draft (to even things out), it explains why you guys were so dominant in the 20's - 60's. Of course, the runs from the 90's still happened, and that was due to your farm system. Great drafting in the late 80's and early 90's propelled that. Now - its 90% free agent based. I saw the quote this morning somewhere - "Finally, after more than $1 Billion spent, Yanks back in the World Series." WOW - puts it in perspective.

None of that matters, other teams had the opportunities to get some of the players the Yankees got over the years and failed to make a all out effort. The fact is the Yankees are the American Dream, Success that bred Success. Btw, I'm glad we're playing the Phillies who are a great team with much of the same characteristics that the Yankees have. One way or another this series will be decided in Yankee Stadium in game 6 or 7

Thats what happens when you have vast amounts of talent. He made it go his way, not by chance.

Tru indeed, not takin away from his talent cuz he's a great pitcher...but it was just gettin to me on how nonchalant he looked/was on the mound...lol...yanks couldn't touch him...

The body language by the yanks just wasnt there... ARod returned to his natural post season self. They need to make the next game happen, cause you cannot beat Philly in Philly.

For game 1, Let's see what happens tonight before we crown them. They may not be who we thought they were.

a little breathing room......how do you guys think we'll do in Philly?

But with Cliff Lee's outing being called the best post season outing since Bob Gibson (Arguably the best pitcher in baseball history)... I would be a little scared of that match up again.

Oh no doubt be aware, but certainly not afraid. I am curious how he will recover on 3 days rest.
I personally dont think Hamels will do that well, he has been roughed up in the post season thus far

I have always thought Hamels was overrated anyway.

I think after last night, the yanks are back to who they are, the deciding factor was the home run by Arod.. Which was clearly a home run. Why they would have a dam camera hanging over the outfield wall is beyond me..
Our boy Swisher! hahaha, no need to say anything else...
I think CC is locked in for tonight..I.E redemtion
... tonight will tell the fate of the world series:thumbsup:
