World Series: Phillies at Yankees, Game 1

Posted by Pat Gallen, Wed, October 28, 2009 05:57 PM

Yankees Philadelphia Phillies at New York Yankees

Cliff Lee, LHP vs. CC Sabathia, LHP

Time: 7:57 p.m at Yankee Stadium
Weather: Cloudy, 50
TV: FOX
Twitter: Phillies Nation

The wait is finally over. At 7:57 eastern time, the Philadelphia Phillies will defend their crown against the 26-time champion New York Yankees. History is at stake in this series, as the Phillies look to become the first NL team to repeat since the Big Red Machine in the mid-70’s.

Cliff Lee is the man to start this thing up. Lee has been unstoppable in the playoffs thus far, sporting a sub-one ERA. He has pulled a Cole Hamels this postseason by putting the team on his back when it counts the most. Lee has two wins and just three walks against 20 strikeouts so far. In this all important Game 1, let’s see how Lee responds to the bright lights of the Bronx.

On the other side is 6′7″, 280-pound, C.C. Sabathia. He’s been just as unhittable as Lee, dominating both the Twins and Angels in his three starts this year. He’s 3-0 with an ERA of 1.19, proving that last years blowup against the Phillies in the NLDS with Milwaukee is in the past. With two lefties on the mound, we could be in for quite the duel.

Offensively, these teams are as close as they come. Both hit for ridiculous power, play in smallish parks, and boast the scariest lineup in their respective leagues. If your looking for a weakness on either side, keep searching. For New York, their defense is probably their Achillies heel, if there is one to choose. They don’t commit many errors, however, their outfielders have suspect arms and catcher Jorge Posada has a surgically repaired shoulder which could mean more Phillies running the bases.

The Phillies downfall is clearly the back end of their bullpen. Brad Lidge floundered through the regular season, but has since picked it up to record three saves and a win in the ‘09 postseason. Lidge has not allowed a run yet either, and the same goes for Chad Durbin, who has seen action in five games without allowing a runner to score.

It’s a series that’s as evenly matched as they come. Forget about words – there is nothing left to predict or describe when it comes to the Phillies and Yankees. It’s all up to the players on the field as they battle for baseball immortality. Tonight, our National Pastime begins its 105th Fall Classic.

Phillies. Yankees. Game 1. Let’s rock.

Phillies Lineup: Rollins (SS), Victorino (CF), Utley (2B), Howard (1B), Werth (RF), Ibanez (DH), Francisco (LF), Feliz (3B), Ruiz (C).

Yankees Lineup: Jeter (SS), Damon (LF), Teixeria (1B), Rodriguez (3B), Posada (C), Matsui (DH), Cano (2B), Swisher (RF), Cabrera (CF).

Your Gameday Beer – Victory Festbier
Phillies fans are ready to party and we’re ready for a victory so tonight’s beer is an easy pick. It also helps that it’s a Philly-area beer in the Marzen/Oktoberfest-style. This full-bodied brew retains an earthy taste to go along with its sweet caramel, toffee, and roasted malt flavors – perfect for the fall weather. Festbier goes well with German food, in which case I think a cheesesteak on a pretzel roll would qualify. – By Brian

GO PHILLIES!

What did that newest Birdland shirt say? “What they can’t buy, we’re gonna take”?

Truer words were never spoken so eloquently.

The final stage in becoming WFC ‘09 starts tonight.

My prediction..Utley 2 run HR to start things off in the 1st (It worked last year!). Phillies win 5-3.

Ok guys! We got a game with the Yankees tonight! And that only means one thing! Bad news for the Yankees.

October 28th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
Love the beer choice tonight, but I have been drinking it for the past 5 weeks straight. I bottled the leftovers from a keg. But tonight I am going with some Victory Whirlwind to sum up the season and Stoudt’s Gold.

Last year, right before the series, I had bought a 4 pack of Beamish Ale. And placed them in my fridge. After each win I drank one. I picked up a 4 pack yesterday. Let’s go Phils.

nate Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 7:44 pm
anybody find it ironic that the yanks are using the “evil empire” theme from star wars to introduce the phils?
Tracey Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 7:44 pm
That’s charming: boo the manager, then tell us again how mean Philly fans are.
Tracey Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 7:45 pm
@Nate: Good point.

October 28th, 2009 at 7:47 pm
big karmic mistake playing the empire music for us and the rebel music for them
Harry Kalas Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 7:47 pm
I love it though Tracey. I really do. I can wait to see their faces when we beat the mess out of’em!
Tracey Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 7:48 pm
You know, we beat CC Sabathia last time we were in that stadium.
Tracey Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 7:49 pm
And Cliff Lee has beaten the Yankees in that stadium (I heard he was the first person to win a game there, or maybe the first opposing pitcher to win there)
Keith Says:

Harry Kalas Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 7:51 pm
You can’t tell me that C.C. and A.J. Burnett aren’t very nervous about facing our Monster lineup. They’re aren’t enough $$$$ to cure that.
Ed R. Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 7:53 pm
ObviosLEE we don’t have to CHASE the pennant any MOYER but we still have to figure out HOWARD going to bring another one home. We have to keep ROLLINS up the STAIRS because it’s WERTH yelling with our hands in the EYRE and hanging off the L…IDGE because it will all end in A VICTORINO in 2009. If they follow the MANUEL the PHILLIES fans will be HAPPy and we will RAUUUL…….Go Phillies!!!!
Harry Kalas Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 7:53 pm
C.C. vs Lee matched up in the 1st ever regular game there in April.

Like the idea of the bunt. Just was not executed very well.
Harry Kalas Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:02 pm
I love it when you call me Big Poppa! Things that make you smile. What numbers to dial…. Here we go! Good idea though Jimmy!

That was odd to start off with a bunt…,

October 28th, 2009 at 8:02 pm
Patience, Jimmy, patience.
Ed R. Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:03 pm

Rats. But we pulled a lot of pitches out of CC, and we put a scare in them.
A Detectible Met Horror Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:14 pm
DAMN shoulda sent Utley… that woulda reallllly set the tone.
Phan in TN Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:14 pm
meh, soo close
Mostone Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:14 pm
Aw, too bad. At least we made him pitch like 25 pitches.
Ed R. Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:15 pm
damn it…I really thought we would walk out with a run atleast. That was a weak grounder. Oh well, at least we made C.C throw some pitches.
joedad Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:15 pm
Got him sweating out there a little bit. He’s wearing down already. Keep up the patient atbats
Tracey Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:15 pm
Yup, the pitch count on Gameday is 24.
Harry Kalas Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:15 pm
The foul ball on the check swing was costly…. But we mad’em work. He ain’t going 8/9 inns tonite that’s for sure.
Keith Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:18 pm
K # 1 for Lee
Tracey Says:

Tracey Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:19 pm

A Detectible Met Horror Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:19 pm
Pretty efficient start so far!
Harry Kalas Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:20 pm
Yeah, but that’s a pretty sick pitch thought….
Mostone Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:20 pm
The local radio feed is way behind. I don’t care, I’m keeping it on.

11 pitch 1st.
A Detectible Met Horror Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:22 pm
All of his pitches are working right now.
Phuck the Phillies Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:23 pm
Yanks in 4
Tracey Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:24 pm
Now we get the bottom of our order, which may make the Yankees complacent, but Feliz, Ruiz and Lee can hit when it counts.
Harry Kalas Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:24 pm
for us to make C.C. struggle his 1st time through our lineup could be very telling.
PhanAttic Will Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:24 pm
HAHAHH WHERE ARE THE YANKEES FANS NOW?!?!
Tracey Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:25 pm
oops…. Francisco tonight. Eh, he can hit too.
joedad Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:25 pm
patient at bats now Phils
Tracey Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:26 pm
Or not, but we’re wearing CC down quickly.
Ed R. Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:26 pm
Ok so this may be a retarded question but I am supposed to go to a family dinner tomorrow night…dinner is at Outback Steakhouse…does anyone know if Outback has tv’s at their bars? This pretty much makes or breaks my decision.
Keith Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:27 pm
Feliz have nice at bats please
joedad Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:27 pm
mycruzcooler, it looks like Ruiz is surprised at how much Lee’s pitches were moving. He missed a couple
A Detectible Met Horror Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:27 pm
@tracey Lee does not hit in this game
Keith Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:27 pm
or not Feliz
HotDogs Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:28 pm
joedad…..can you please call the bench and tell them!!!!
Harry Kalas Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:28 pm
C.C. is really struggling out there right now. We have to make him pay. Feliz is driving me nuts with his wild swings.
joedad Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:28 pm
Ed R, the Outback near me (Jamison) has TV’s around the bar
Keith Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:28 pm
well that inning was what 10 pitches?
PhanAttic Will Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:29 pm
Every Outback I’ve been to has had a bar with TV’s so I think you’ll be alright.
HotDogs Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:29 pm
ED. R. call and ask!
Tracey Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:29 pm
Ah well. We’ve turned over the order. Not as many pitches as I’d like, though.
GWFightinsFan Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:29 pm
They’re playing right into his hands by swinging early in the county at that outside crap
Pat Gallen Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:30 pm

Yes, Outback does.

Harry Kalas Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:31 pm
Very annoying ab’s my Feliz/Ruiz/J-Roll/Shane. Make this guy throw pitches. What is so hard to understand about that. The Yankees middle relief is just about all righties and they’ve been very suspect.
Mo Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:32 pm
We will kick CC’s butt. Lee looked very sharp. How can you be afraid of this Yankees team. Damon, Melky, Swisher all suck. Rollins cant bunt on the first pitch after 8 days. Swing baby
ryan coward Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:33 pm
they hav 2 lefties in the pen
Keith Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:33 pm

Thank you fellas.

Pat to answer your question, someone who is not a Phillies fan and someone who apparently does not care that I am one. The wife, being the sweet heart that she is gave me a free pass but I still feel like I should go. I hate having a conscience.

I thought the rain was supposed to stop after 6 and stay away…this better not put us in a rain delay. That would be very very bad.
Tracey Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:35 pm
Tch, ah well, not a no-hitter.
Keith Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:35 pm

A Detectible Met Horror Says:

I’m pretty sure the Phillies lineup would eat Phil Coke and Damaso Marte alive.

Tracey Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:38 pm
Two innings, about 27 pitches for Lee. That bodes well.
Harry Kalas Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:38 pm

Phuck the Phillies Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 8:56 pm
Yeah Harry in regard to fence distance not bc they screwed up with the wind tunnels. Your bandbox is the 3rd smallest park while Yankee stadium is 9th with regard to average fence distance. So if you’re going to talk at least be an intelligent one. Thanks

Fenway Park -9.4
Jacobs Field -8.2

C.C. pitch count at 71(unofficial). Make’em work guys. It significantly decreases the chances of him returning for Game 4 on short rest. And if Joe G. does it anyway we’ll crush’em!

Why not let Lee bat and DH for Feliz?
Keith Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 9:24 pm
well now CC is getting his share of K’s. 4 for him.
Mike D. Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 9:24 pm
I don’t get it. All this rain, and none of it on weather.com’s radar map. How’s that work out?
HotDogs Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 9:24 pm
Here we go phillies! Here we go!
Ed R. Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 9:24 pm
Feliz is pretty much useless. We can find a glove out there that is similar to his who can hit better than he does.
Ed R. Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 9:25 pm
WTF the rain is back?
joedad Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 9:25 pm
2nd time through the lineup and the yankees still look baffled
Harry Kalas Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 9:26 pm
Damn Feliz. Cairo move was smart if Brett is really healthy. But this guy is driving me nuts! Somebody go shake the sh*t of him.

Keeg Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 9:28 pm
I want 20 pushups from Rollins right now. What happened? We had his number the first, then since Utley popped one that just barely went out (meaning it would’ve been a fly ball elsewhere) we’ve gone down quietly. I don’t understand this.
Keith Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 9:28 pm
just a 10 pitch inning for CC, 81 pitches for him
Mike D. Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 9:29 pm
I am slightly concerned about our hitting thus far. But we’ll get more runs as long as it stops raining.
Harry Kalas Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 9:29 pm
J-Roll I love ya man, but somebody needs to go bleeping tell this guy that we in all likely hood won’t win this thing if he does not get on base. JC man! Stop trying to go yard all the damn time. Get the bleep on base!
joedad Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 9:30 pm
Who was that on the Garth (Wayne’s World) commercial?
Matt Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 9:30 pm
@Ed R-I’d like if Pedro had a better bat, but at 3rd, I’d rather have his glove there than an average/below average fielder and a decent/good bat. Our offense is stacked enough that we don’t have to rely on offense from the 3rd base position. It’d be nice, but not necessary.
Jeff Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 9:31 pm
we had 8 days off. little rust. we should of jumped on this big monster in the first.
j reed Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 9:31 pm
Yeah, I went outside to clean up these stairs I’ve been building for my mom…figured with feliz up and all, the inning would be quick
Harry Kalas Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 9:32 pm
wtf?
Ed R. Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 9:33 pm
Suddenly the ump went blind…

You notice how pitch track is now only after pitches and it is of course spot on every time.
j reed Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 9:33 pm
Ed R. – I belikeve Adrian Beltre might be available in the off season

That was a double play. Dammit…things like this kinda makes me think harder about instant replay.

October 28th, 2009 at 9:36 pm
That should be 2.

Good. Dp. Whew. Was afraid they were gonna go with the favorites again.
Harry Kalas Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 9:38 pm
Thank you. Rollins caught the ball in the air. even though he tried to drop it. He caught the ball and Matsui wondered off the bag. Howard tagged’em. That’s a DP.
Keith Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 9:38 pm
alright let’s go Victorino-Utley-Howard!!!
Tracey Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 9:38 pm
That was almost ugly

Can the Phillies just hit to get on base and not continue to swing out of their spikes???? PLEASE!!!! We need base runners!
Mike D. Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 9:44 pm
CC has control of his curve now. He didn’t in the 1st and 2nd. Lovely. Come on, Phils.

Okay, your turn, Raul, just don’t bite on that curve.

Nice and easy does the trick with Raul’s swing. Nothing too hard.

Just saying.
HotDogs Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 9:57 pm
JoeDad….agreed. Raul doesn’t seem himself. Blame it on DH position? They all seem to swing for the fences. Need to string some bases together.
Georgie Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 9:57 pm
Was it someone on here who said a few days ago that Utley was going to start hitting homeruns this series? Was that Don M.? Good call, whoever.

I used to teach English in Japan. And every now and then, a student would learn a new big word and use it constantly for a week. Like all of a sudden the one guy could not stop saying “occupation.” “My occupation is bus driver. What is your occupation? Do you like your occupation?”

That is how Tim McCarver is with “spiked curveball” tonight
HotDogs Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:09 pm
OK….enough of the fun. Time to get serious. Phils need base runners and runs! Let’s go Phillies!!!!

You are so right about Utley, he was so tired at the end. He looks so good at the plate.

Hey…can we ask to put Lee in to bat INSTEAD of Feliz!
GWFightinsFan Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:18 pm
nevermind. McCarver finally gave us some useful info 86 pitches through 6
SDO Says:

on the os corner for ball 1…
poomie Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:19 pm
that was a STRIKE
Morris Buttermaker Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:19 pm
I was home sick from work over the summer and watched the original Bad News Bears. It is absolutely hysterical. And it is really sappy without being corny.

One of my favorite things about Philly is that we consider local news people to be major celebrities.
Keith Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:20 pm
so no more CC tonight
Mike D. Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:20 pm
@GW, he did? He would when I muted it.
poomie Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:21 pm
stop, step back…is this really happening…just have to pinch myself. we are dominating them!
GWFightinsFan Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:21 pm
Ok, looks like Sabathia’s done…now we gotta put some runs on the board next inning!!!
FillyP Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:22 pm
Another Phall Classic. I LOVE IT! Most excited I’ve ever been in my life for baseball.

Phils up 2-0 in the 7th. I feel like we’re in a great position in this game. Lee looks like he’s picking up right where he left off (Hamels of ‘09?). And Utley’s got that sweet stroke working again. I’ll be ecstatic if we take 1 out of 2 in the Bronx.

Cheeseburger Cheeseburger is done. Let’s tack on some insurance against Hughes!

LET’S GO FIGHTINS!!
Keith Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:22 pm
quick 1-2-3 inning for Lee
Harry Kalas Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:22 pm
Finish him off Lee

Morris Buttermaker Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:25 pm
Cliff Lee just keeps getting better. He looks better now than he did in any part of the game.Time to put up some runs on Phil Hughes.

Jeff Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:25 pm
Morris that is one of the best movies period. They got stupid with the rest. Kelly Lee could be Cliffs son. LOL. I am still upset he was thrown out at the plate.
Harry Kalas Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:26 pm
This is Lee’s game. End of Story….

soooooooo close Jimmy!
Tracey Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:27 pm
The local radio was going crazy over that one, but it was *way* foul

October 28th, 2009 at 10:27 pm

Keith Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:28 pm
nice walk Jimmy
Harry Kalas Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:28 pm
The Sixers lost. All man…….
Mike D. Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:28 pm
If this half-inning is long, Lee might be done since his arm would cool down. And it might end up as such, since Jimmy just walked (huh?)
Tracey Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:28 pm
The radio (at least the online broadcast of it) is about 8 seconds behind the TV!
Ed R. Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:28 pm
Sixers got rocked. Magic were Lidge from behind the 3 point line. Big surprise there.
joedad Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:28 pm
SDO, I was amazed at how Basinger looked…are you sure that is her? Could be computer touch ups
Harry Kalas Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:29 pm
Steal Jimmy before they bring the lefty in!
phillyjoe Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:29 pm
i wanna see jimmy swipe a bag here
FillyP Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:30 pm
Rattle Hughes and we’re in the driver’s seat. Let’s get to the Yanks bullpen and show them who REALLY has something to worry about. Really sick of all the talk of our pitching being an issue; newsflash: every staff in the majors goes through struggles.
mycruzincooler.com Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:30 pm
Did they just sey the fans were jumping tonight?
Its been fairly quiet I think.
Mike D. Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:31 pm
The Yankees are really stalling, probably to make sure Lee’s been out of the game too long to come back.
Harry Kalas Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:31 pm
Edr… Please take that last statement back. We’re up 2-0. lol
Keith Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:31 pm
nice steal Jimmy
Phan in TN Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:32 pm
that was sweet

Caleb Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:33 pm
Philly Joe can you say something like “i wanna see utley homer here” too?
GWFightinsFan Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:33 pm
This has gotta be the inning!!!
Morris Buttermaker Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:34 pm
I grew up on the sequels, so I like the second one a lot. The one in Japan is a little silly.

I love Phil Hughes. He is looking great. I can’t wait to see him for the rest of the series.

The Phillies really need to tack on some runs here. It would be HUUUUUUUGE!
Harry Kalas Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:34 pm
get’em over get’em in. That 3rd run would feel like a Touch Down right about now!
Keith Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:35 pm
nice back to back walks
Georgie Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:35 pm
Yep, they are stalling as long as they can, they want Cliff out of this game, and it’s probably working, cold, crappy night up there.
Morris Buttermaker Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:35 pm
Ahh crap. The Sixers lost tonight? There goes the perfect season. I guess we will have to settle for 81-1.
phillyjoe Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:36 pm
big boys are coming up…id like to see howard get a hit

joedad – it looked like her to me – one would have to deduce that cgi was used to enhance”" her youthfulness
Harry Kalas Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:38 pm
Plus remeber we got Ryan Madson. And his blazing FB and sick change. that was ball 3.
GWFightinsFan Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:38 pm
WTF is with those outside calls??
Georgie Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:38 pm
Lee threw that same pitch and it was called a ball, bs.
Keith Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:39 pm
aww poor Utley, let’s go Howard!
Harry Kalas Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:39 pm
Howard with the 3 run Bomb???
Mike D. Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:39 pm
Okay, Ryan, stay patient I want one gone.
SDO Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:39 pm
i predict this inning will yield howard’s first of many rbis in this series
GWFightinsFan Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:39 pm
The umpire strikes out Utley….

October 28th, 2009 at 10:40 pm
WAVE YOUR TOWELS!!!! LET”S GO PHILLIES!!!!
Morris Buttermaker Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:40 pm
Did anybody read the clips from Tim Donaghy’s book? It’s all about how they would fix games and extend series. Just thought of that watching Utley’s at-bat.
Keith Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:40 pm
well now it’s up to Werth
joedad Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:40 pm
none of those pitches was a strike to Utley
SDO Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:41 pm
that was definitely a poor series of calls for utley’s at bat
Jeff Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:41 pm
They were balls to Utley. These umps are chumps.
Mike D. Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:41 pm
I hope Lee’s effective next inning, he’s gonna be cold as ice with all this stalling Girardi’s doing. Classic Torre tactic – take their best pitcher out of it with mound conferences, coach visits, and general stalling.
j reed Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 10:41 pm

Ed R. Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:00 pm
I’d pull him. Especially if you are considering him on short rest.

October 28th, 2009 at 11:01 pm
NO PULLING!!!! He stayed in in the huge run lead game for a long time!

OK, guys: save some runs for tomorrow…
Keith Says:

No consideration of short rest. This game must be won. Charlie looks at the game at hand. Nothing before. Nothing after. I say he stays.
joedad Says:

106 pitches? No question he comes back

3 runs so far off the Yankees bullpen
Mike D. Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:09 pm
I don’t bring him back. Especially since he’s had yet another long rest. Take him out, let him get the CG in the clincher.
Georgie Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:10 pm
I see they’ve moved the Cialis bathtubs from the beach to the golf course, nice!

Stay focused everyone! This game has not been won yet. Keep cheering. Keep the towels waving!

Actually the Headline should read:

Ut-Lee and Phillies dominate Yankees in game 1.

October 28th, 2009 at 11:11 pm
oh wow we could be the first to shutout the Yankees in game 1 of the World Series

something tells me the bullpens will be to the key to the series – and right now, the yankee bullpen is looking pretty weak.
Jimmy Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:15 pm
Ahh rough, I must have thought C.C. was still pitching
Tracey Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:15 pm
@Chesapeake: hehehe. Yeah, you’re probably right.
Morris Buttermaker Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:15 pm
Looks like a lot of the Yankee fans left early to beat traffic. Kind of strange being that most of them took the subway.

Actually, I have been the new stadium. It sucks and is a total pain in the ass to get out of. I don’t blame them.

October 28th, 2009 at 11:17 pm
alright Howard!

got Jimmy home
Tracey Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:17 pm
OK: all we need is 3 outs to shut out the Yankees to start this series. Let’s not get fancy. And let’s hope the Phils have some runs left for the rest of the series.
poomie Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:17 pm
OMG! Another run! RBI Ryan Howard!
AC from NJ Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:18 pm
Damn…if Victorino scores, I say maybe you don’t bring Lee back out.

But only up 6-0, guess you have to let him go for the complete game. LOL
ChesapeakePhan Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:18 pm
Tracey, I promise you…I didn’t make it up. They have a news headline about getting a call right…
Mike D. Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:18 pm
Yep, something like that, Big Fella. Vic got thrown out – was Perlozzo channeling Steve Smith’s spirit?
Morris Buttermaker Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:18 pm
You know what, I was actually stunned when the umps got the double play right. I was not expecting it.
SDO Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:18 pm
RBI #15 and counting for Mr. October.

That new Jay-Z song “Empire State of Mind” is pretty damn good. I can’t hear that one enough. But overall I’m kinda sick of him…
Georgie Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:21 pm
Wow, I didn’t think Charlie would bring Cliff back out, that was a long top of the 9th.
Keith Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:21 pm
damn
Tracey Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:21 pm
When was the last time somebody got a WS CG shutout?
Mike D. Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:21 pm
Damned Yankees always get BS hits like those.
HotDogs Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:22 pm
FOCUS EVERYONE!!!!!! LET’S GO LEE! LET’S GO PHILLIES!!!!!! LET’S GO LEE!!!!!!
Harry Kalas Says:

Let’s go Lee.
Keith Says:

Josh Beckett, ‘03 World Series game 6
FillyP Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:22 pm
OK – don’t burn Lee’s arm out. We need him for 4, and a potential 7. I say let him have no more than 2 base runners…
AC from NJ Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:23 pm
ok – I’m getting concerned. How much longer does Charlie stay with Cliff now???
mycruzincooler.com Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:23 pm
How can you mesh Sept. and Oct. together?
Howard ,Mr. ….?
ChesapeakePhan Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:23 pm
Tracey..Beckett had one against the Yanks in Game 6 a couple of years ago.
poomie Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:24 pm
we need a double play ball
Ed R. Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:24 pm
Not that I am concerned yet but this is why I wouldn’t have brought Lee back out.
Tracey Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:24 pm
aw crap
Werthitall Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:25 pm
Ahhh! Rollins pulled an Utley!
Morris Buttermaker Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:25 pm
Lee comes up huge right now.
AC from NJ Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:25 pm
shut out is over…time to get Lee out of the there…
Keith Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:25 pm
well he can still get his CG
poomie Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:26 pm
we can do it! stay with it! come on Phils!
Harry Kalas Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:26 pm
Yup. Pretty much. At least we got an out.
Keith Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:27 pm
K # 9 for Lee

and 3 for A-Rod
Mike D. Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:27 pm
Butttt even at 118 pitches, Cliff Lee is still filthy.
Tracey Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:27 pm
YES! OK, just one more out…
mycruzincooler.com Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:27 pm
Ed …. Dont be concerned.
poomie Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:27 pm
YES! STRIKEOUT #9! And it’s A-Rod – HAH!
Tracey Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:28 pm
10 K would be nice…
Mike D. Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:28 pm
Strike him out on the knuckleball, Clifton! The knuckleball!
Harry Kalas Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:29 pm
Lee actually is one of those rare pitchers who a little unaffected by pitch counts. Most pitchers rest in between starts. Lee actually throws. He only comes out of games for the most part when he is getting smoked. Whuch has not been all nite.
mycruzincooler.com Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:29 pm
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
poomie Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:29 pm
And to end with a K….priceless.

High hopes! We have high hopes!
Tracey Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:29 pm
YES!!!! I almost didn’t realize it was over, it was so quiet!
Morris Buttermaker Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:29 pm
Told you so.
Georgie Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:31 pm

Tracey Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:33 pm
Now if they just have a few runs left in them for tomorrow night…

Not to get ahead of ourselves but you guys do realize that Cliff Lee will be pitching for us ALL YEAR in 2010…WOW.

Nice win, but I fully expect tomorrow to be a much tougher game. I have a feeling it will be a slugfest…
Georgie Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:51 pm
Up to bed for postgame, nite nite, I’ll be dreaming sweet dreams of Cliff…
Morris Buttermaker Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:52 pm
Time for Beamish number 1.
Mazinman Says:
October 28th, 2009 at 11:53 pm
Wow. What a performance by Lee and Utley. The Phils sent a message tonight that they are not a team who was exhausted after an extra inning game the night before or a team that was just happy they finally beat their post season nemesis. This Phillies team is one that oozes confidence and who wanted to be in this exact position.

The Yankees will now have to live with this game for 24 hours. Giradi will be second guesses, A Rod will be questioned if he has returned to the A Rod of old in the post season, and the possibility of losing will enter their heads for the first time this offseason. If the Phillies can get to Burnett early tomorrow things are going to get REAL interesting with the Yankees using so much of their bullpen tonight.

I think the Yankees got knocked back bad tonight and you just know that Pedro Martinez would love to twist the dagger tomorrow.

Thanks for this win Philles! I gotta go defend my dissertation for my doctorate tomorrow and now I am going into it REAL happy!

Was it just me or where the PHillies far more patient then the Yankees.
Gerneral LEE great job, great hitting by Utley, and the offense destroys another bull pen for add on runs. One down three to go
HotDogs Says:

Goodnight Phans! See you all tomorrow! Another job well done this evening….keep those towels waving!

Great win for the Phightins! Lee, you ate lightning and crapped thunder. Amazing.
Check out this article from a New York e-paper. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/2009/10/28/2009-10-28_inphillyority_complex.html
The author originally wrote an article dissing the fanatic and cheesesteaks, among other things, so I responded in an e-mail to her. She brought me up in her response article today. Enjoy!
j reed Says:
October 29th, 2009 at 12:24 am
Now that’s was an arsenal…4 picthes befuddled the Yanks. And that curveball was nasty. Pizza Bagel, you get the quote of the night

“Lee, you ate lightning and crapped thunder.” Instant classic.
Jeff Says:
October 29th, 2009 at 12:27 am
Can you believe CC has not thrown a home run pitch to a lefty all year in yankee stadium. Until Utley..
