If there is one thing NY and Philly can agree on is that NJ is trash!!

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!!

I just saw the ridiculous 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.

Got to 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 CC in the postseason before.

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 a lot 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?

And a sharp Phillie fan would note that the Post gave Victorino A-Rod's legs.

I would like to Imagine they are Kate Hudson's legs!!

Like I said we own CC.

I would take CCs line of 2 runs /4 hits allowed over 7 innings any time he pitched. The problem was the great pitching of Lee and the collapse of the Yanks bull pen.

1 down, 3 to go.

Not so fast .it's now best of 5

But I missed it to attend the Rock and Roll 25th Ann. Hall of Fame Concert at Madison Square Garden

Here is the play list .It went on past 1 AM .

http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/20...cert-set-list/

Still 1 down, 3 to go... for both teams. ;)

I would have missed it for that, too.

Burnett was lights out last night.

Matsui was lucky and hit a good pitch, but that is baseball. Manager left Pedro in too long! I thought the announcers were correct in criticising the Phillies' failure to run on the 3-2 count in the 7th with the 1st baseman on deck.

Yeah they wouldn't have gotten into that double play. The Phils really had some poor base running last night. With Werth getting picked off at first. Stupid mistakes drive me crazy.
