It's not completely out of the question for them to comeback, but it will be tough.

Pedro needs to pitch really well, and he did pretty good in game 2 with the exception of 1 or 2 mistakes. And the offense needs to come out right away. They need to put up 3 or 4 runs in the first inning to keep the momentum on their side. It's good they bat first so they can strike first, rather than worrying about playing catch up. But they have to take advantage of that opportunity. I think if they do this, there is a very good chance we'll see game 7.

That's where the problem lies, though. If they make it that far, I wouldn't send out Cole. Guy stinks this post season. As soon as something bad happens, he freaks out. It's not his year, don't put him out there. I would go with Happ if need be. Another huge problem is the bullpen. They have been bad for most of this series. You would hope Cliff could pitch an inning or 2 of relief in game 7, seeing as it's the last game. However, making to game 7 could be a big problem.

I will say, that if it does get that far, Phils have all the momentum. And I bet they'd win.
Sadly, a lot has to go down for this to happen.

yea hamels is a *****, i can understand with the whole new baby thing, but don't complain to the media about wanting the series over already.

Yeah, dude says some stupid things to the media. I get it Cole, you have had a long, horrible season. Don't go to the public with it though, especially during the world series. I'm sure every one on that team is ready to drained. You've played nearly 200 games. He's got to learn to shut his mouth.

Supposedly wife beater Myers confronted him.

I actually like to listen to the game with it muted. Can't stand the colour guy. Just talks way too much and he makes up stuff just so he can talk some more. My fav line from the series: there was a fly ball that hit the foul line and bounced into the stands. According to the colour guy the ball hitting the chalk foul line caused it to bounce into the stands! I don't know but maybe it was the speed of the ball falling or it's spin? Can't stand overanalytical commentating.

I agree, he says the stupidest things, at least a few of them every single game. The guy who's not Joe Buck, the other guy.

I think it was during the ALCS where he said the dumbest thing I've ever heard a commentator say before. They were talking about CC Sabathia a lot at that time, because if the Angles were going to press a Game 7 they would of used him, perhaps messing up CC's start for Game 1 of the World Series. But what he said before Game 6 was over was: "If CC Sabathia is pitching Game 1 of the World Series, then they will know they lost the game [Game 6]"

Now if only CC could have time traveled and let them know.

If the Yankees are smart, they'll pitch around Utley and pitch to Howard. There you go, shutout.

FranklinTard · 11-05-2009, 04:16 PM

sans the DH, would the yankees have won the series?

**JBond** · 11-05-2009, 04:21 PM

There certainly would have been a Game 7.
