2009 World Series, Phillies-Yankees

[tilerite]

With all due respect to our friends in Los Angle eeze, I'm going to get ahead of myself and procalim this years participants in the fall classic as Philadelphia and its neighbor, ninety miles to the north, New York. This is a dream match-up for me as the Yankees represent all that I loathe in the sports world. This is one of those, high risk, high reward sporting events. Lose, and I will take on the shame of million 's of Phillies sports fans. Win, and I will celebrate for a thousand days and nights. I'm gonna say; Phillies in seven games.
GO PHILLIES!!!:

I have to agree with you on this Rick, I was at the one game in Philly when the Phils mashed the Dodgers 11-0.
I think I sent you a few text pics :D
after being with the fans and meeting some old friends there at the
ballpark and seeing them play I'm going to root for the Phils.:tup2:

1: tickets
2: new Philly ballpark (beautiful)
3: going nuts after Howards 3 run homer (nuts)
4: in the late Harry K's voice....."Struck Him Oooooout!" :D

[tilerite]

Great pictures, Brian. Thnaks!! Game four was even crazier. Rollins walk off double sent the place into a frenzy.

[ceramictec]

that was a lottery win the other night :)

[Rd Tile]

:goodluck:

[tilerite]

Enjoy it while it lasts, Richie.:goodluck:

[Rd Tile]

You too, we both still have a small step yet to get there.:goodluck:

[ceramictec]

tonight ends it with the Phils.
the Yanks wont be so lucky :D

[tilerite]

Yeah, I think it ends in Philly tonight. Hopefully, the Yanks will need seven but the way they are playing, I wouldn't be surprised if they win it in game five.

[HotinOKC]

I hate the Yankees. I will be praying that they lose, again.

[tilerite]

Phils up 5-2. Looking good so far.:yipee:

[tilerite]

6-2

[tilerite]

9-4, 3 outs to go. I'm feeling it.

[ceramictec]

think the Phils will hit 11 ? :D

[John Corley]

Go Angels!!!!!!

[John Corley]

Wanted to tell you guys my first pro baseball experience......

Stepdad took me to see a Royals game in Kansas City, didn't know it yet but I saw some great stuff that day. The biggest event was Bo Jackson hitting 2 homeruns off of Randy Johnson from the Mariners.

Bo was my favorite...... he lives about 10 minutes away from me house now...

[ceramictec]

Philly is going nuts and it isn't even the World Series Win................yet:stirpot:

[tilerite]

John
Bo Jackson is probably the best athlete I have ever seen. The man was a total freak of nature. Who comes back from hip replacement and plays pro ball???

[Rd Tile]

the battle of I-95.....lol :corn:

[sandbagger]

:yawn: :shrug:

sorry, baseball just hasn't been the same for me since the World Series was canceled for the strike. Two strikes and yer out.

mind you, it's still may favorite sport, but......

[ceramictec]

Utley Again!!....BooYahh Yankee Fans!!

2 homers !

[Brad Denny]

We're here, we're watching...
Utley izza beast. Did you see that stat? Only other lefty to hit two HR's in a WS game against a lefty, was the Babe in '28. Impressive. :nod:
CC couldn't keep from letting his FB land in the sweet spot. Nasty.
Marte's stock just went up gettin' out Utley looking. Freakin' walks are killing us.

[ceramictec]

lol

[Brad Denny]

Just what kind of drugs are we talking about here Brian??

News Flash: Yankees stunned in front of home crowd

The Phillies take Game 1 of the World Series after standout performances.

Chase Utley & Cliff Lee :tup2:

[tilerite]

Lee was dominating last night. Great start for ther Fightin Phils.:yipee:

[tilerite]

It amazes me that most sports writers pick the Yankees to win and that the Yankees are 2-1 favorites in Vegas. I guess all that and a buck and a half will buy you a cup of coffee. GO PHILS!!!!!

[Brad Denny]

...crickets...

:D

[ceramictec]

Rick, that's funny!
bad Ump calls tonight for both sides.

[tilerite]

Great performance by Burnett last night. His curve ball was ridiculous. Can't wait for the three games in Philly.

[Brad Denny]

I just caught the last of the game, not the whole.
I did get to see the replay of ARod's HR. Glad they went in to take a look, tough call.
I also saw Pettite's hit. It's nice to see an AL pitcher make a contribution at the plate.

Phillie's are dangerous. Rivera is a huge advantage.

[ceramictec]

they got behind after being in the lead.
didnt hit well well tonight. :tongue:

[kate42]

Despite the Yankees win tonite I still feel the Phillies are the better team.

[Dog paws]

Not only do the Yanks got money but they got talent too.

Go Yankees

[ceramictec]

money can always buy you a team

[tilerite]

Despite the Yankees win tonite I still feel the Phillies are the better team

We think alike, Kathleen. Phils gotta win tonight.

[ceramictec]

if they dont win at home the next 2 games ..it's over !

[ceramictec]

it's over!

good hustle by Damon.
but the Yanks out hit the Phils again.
and at the top of the 9th inning getting 3 runs is bad for the Phils.

[tilerite]

Yeah, probably. I thought they were gonna pull it out after they tied it in the 8th. Oh well.:mad:

[Rd Tile]

:D:corn::D:clap2:

[John Bridge]

It amazes me that most sports writers pick the Yankees to win and that the Yankees are 2-1 favorites in Vegas.

'Spose those guys might know something? :)

I'm pulling for the Phillies, too, just because they're down.

[ddmoit]

Has anyone seen the television ratings for this series? If they're good, look for a Phillies win tonight.

EDIT: The ratings (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylt=AoYg4LypMSJlWMzS_wdcWVYRvLYF?slug=ap-worldseries-ratings&prov=ap&type=lgns) are good.

[HotinOKC]

YANKEES = http://www.soxualaddiction.com/images/yankees-suck-kid-finger.jpg

[tilerite]

Spose those guys might know something

Have you watched the games, John? Yanks have gotten the bounces and the timely hits. The games have been pretty even and could have gone either way. Phils could just as easily be up 3-1.

[Brad Denny]

Again, Rivera tips the scale. :tup2:

[ceramictec]

UUMMM DUH !


PHILADELPHIA (AP)-A Philadelphia newspaper has apologized to
readers for mistakenly running an ad congratulating the Phillies on
winning back-to-back World Series titles. The three-quarter-page
Macy’s ad is on the back of the front section and features a T-shirt
with the Phillies logo, the commissioner’s trophy and the phrase
“Back To Back World Series Champions.”
the paper deeply regrets the error.

[John Bridge]

Yeah, I'm watching the games, well, right up until the time I get sleepy. :D

Looks like our guys are making a comeback.

[tilerite]

Phils got their game on tonight. Lets hope it holds up. As for me, I'm about to go to bed to. I ripped out and disposed of four layers of flooring today.

[kate42]

The Phillies are still ahaid at this time.

Going to bed soon also. Been a long day for me too.

[ceramictec]

I will tell you sleepy heads who wins ok :tup2:

[kate42]

Still up. So I guess i'm not a sleepyhead yet. :D:D

Now the Phillies are winning 8-2.

[kate42]

Yikes, now 8 - 4.

[John Bridge]

8-5, bottom of the eighth coming up. Need Utley to slam another one. ;)

[ceramictec]

would suck if the Yankees win 8-9 :stirpot:

[kate42]

Now we're going to the top of the 9th inning, Phillies still ahead 8 - 5.

Can they (the Phillies) close it and bring it back to NY,

Madsen in relief.

Oh Oh, Posada hits a double, nobody out.

Another base hit by the Yankees and nobody out. Ouch.

Double play, run scores, two out and Philles up 8 - 6. Damon at bat. He gets a hit, Texeira at bat. He strikes out.

Phillies win! :)

[kate42]

Now back to the football game,

[ceramictec]

wow that was a nail biter!!
the Yankees do come on strong at the end!

[John Bridge]

Nail biter, cliff hanger. For a baseball game, that was pretty exiting. ;)

[kate42]

The Yankees are a tough team.

And yes it was a nailbiter. Very exciting, kept this ole lady up way past her bedtime. :D:D

[Brad Denny]

Great game and great series!
I gotta give a :clap1: to Victorino for playin' through the injury, it had to hurt. Lee had another excellent night and I thought the Yanks were gonna come all the way back after they pulled him. Madsen handled the close well.

Oh, and Utley izza beast...

Hopefully Petitte will lead us to victory in NY on Wednesday!

[Brad Denny]

I love stats.
Did you see that Utley has tied Jackson ('77) for most HR's inna WS, while Howard has tied Wilson ('80) for the most strike outs inna WS?

Baseball is a crazy game.

[JTile]

Not just that, but didn't they both tie their respective records back to back? As in, one record set, next batter, another record set.

[Brad Denny]

I think so!

[tilerite]

Utley is in a zone that's usually reserved for Howard. Seems the Yanks are pitching around Howard and throwing strikes to Utley. The Yanks do not want to play us in a game seven. Tomorrow will be tough. I can't wait.

[ceramictec]

[ceramictec]

wow, Matsui is one bad boy at bat!.
he just won it for the Yankees with his great hitting.
he needs the MVP !

[The Kid]

Hate both, dont care, GO BEAVERS!!!

[Brad Denny]

:clap1:

[jjwq8]

Well done Yankees. You won the world series of rounders. i guess that must be important but buggered if i know why :tongue:

[Rd Tile]

[tilerite]

Congratulations to the Yankees and their fans. It was a great season that ended one game prematurely for Phillies fans. We'll be back next year to take back the crown.

[John Bridge]

I think it was a great series, even it it did end a game short. The Phillies did a hell of a job. :)

[tilerite]

It was entertaining. Seven games would have been a blast. Oh well, hockey season has my full attention.:)

[ceramictec]

[tilerite]

Thanks Brian.:noid:

[ceramictec]

haha:D
