Big day Sunday in Philly .

It starts Saturday night when Pearl Jam will perform in the last event at the Spectrum.
That should end sometime after midnight ...enough time to go home ,grab a quick snooze and get the tailgate party ready.
Then Sunday at 1PM the Giants are at "The LINC " to beat the [b]Eagles .
That should last until 4-4:30 PM . Time enough to grab a cheese steak on the way to Citizen's Bank Park to watch the Yanks beat the Phillies.

Here in NY it will be all Fox Sports all the time (unless you are an unfortunate Jets fan) . Game one is the Giants v Eagles ...Game 2 is the Vikings loss to the Packers(sorry Brett ;this time it aint in a dome) ... time for a quick dinner and shower before settling down to Watch the Yanks whip the Phillie cheese.

To top it all off there's a fanatasy Football match up of very interested parties.Will Spit's team be the unmovable force against my runaway train ?

You haven't lived until you've driven and smelled the wafting odors near the Jersey Turnpike.

I'll give you guys a tip if you are ever in Philly and want a hot roast pork sandwich the ONLY place you should go is DiNic's in the reading terminal market at 51 N 12th St. I rarely eat meat but sometimes you just have to have some!!!!!

If I'm ever in Philly I'll do just that. Man, I'm hungry now...

I just saw the rediculous cover on my way home. I have to say that the Post can't decide if it wants to be a serious periodical or a rag.

It's sports coverage is good . But that cover is way over the top and the last thing the Yanks need is an energized Victorino. He's dangerous enough as it is.

I respect him too much as a player and person to take cheap shots like that.

Gotta question the choice of using Pedro in game 2 . You have 4 power hitting switch hitters on the Yanks turned around to the left side aiming at the short porch . And ;with Pedro's history with the Yanks during his Red Sox days;with the beating on Don Zimmer and the "who's your daddy "stuff, he'll be jeered to no end.

I wanted Big Joe Blanton to pitch game 2, Pedro 3, Hamels 4. Maybe it is homerism but I feel good about Pedro in game 2. I know all the trouble he has had there but he is either going to be lights out or lit up. Tom do the Yankees really not have a fourth starter?

The post really just poked a tiger with a stick. Shane is the wrong guy you want to give bulletin board material to. Especially since the flying Hawaiian blasted a grand slam off of CC in the postseason before.

tomder55

Not really ;certainly not one that you can call a reliable starter. Chamberlain was the regular season starter but the Yanks babied him so much that it will take a whole off season and spring training to build him and his confidence back up . The alternative is Chad Goudin,a pitcher they picked up mid season from San Diego.
I'm sure they plan on using CC on short rest and hope for a rain out. Next year Phil Hughes will be back in the rotation and probably Ian Kennedy . For now Hughes and Chamberlain give the Yanks depth in the bull pen ,but if they need a 4th starter it's pretty much bull pen by committee and a big offensive outburst.

Yeah but CC was overused by the Brewers at the end of the season last year. CC has been lights out down the stretch and into the post season.

I respect Victorino alot and I agree the Post did the Yanks no favors with that childishness. The one place where the Phillies have a clear edge in this series is in the quality of the outfield.

CC was over used last year. I was really hoping the Angels would take them to a game 7. You have to respect Victorino he gets on base and has a mean glove. Jason Werth is quickly becoming my favorite player but he does make some errors. I am interested to see how Ben Fransisco does with Rauuuuul being the DH. He can definitley cover more field then Rauuuuul.

Oh man I just realized Sunday is Brett's return to Green Bay!!!!!

You are one sharp cookie, Spit.

Ah-hem...we are talking about New York City, are we not? Isn't there a huge clientele who appreciate a Phillie in frills? lol Reminds me of the TV personality, Mr. Ed, calling all the young things, 'fillies'. Really a play on words? Might want to check-out the writer's bona fides?
