I've been waiting for this matchup a long time. I dated a girl in Maple Shade for four years and her whole family were hardcore Phillies fans. Had to learn to keep my mouth shut around her folks :-)

Not by accident. :-)

Being a huge Mets fan & proverbial Yankee hater...I had to take my hat off to them last night for their pre-game & ceremonial first pitch selection. Nice tribute to veterans!!! :-)

Lee was ON FIRE...again!! :-)

While as a Yankees fan I am upset over the loss, I tip my hat to Cliff Lee for putting on a pitching clinic last night.
The man was amazing.
As is always known, good pitching shuts down good hitting.
That was a big win for the Phillies.

You're gonna need a bigger hole.....

Gotta love an optimist!


Damn, came in this morning ready to fire away and there you go, being all "gracious" in defeat....:-).....Still alot of baseball left but I love the fact we got by CC!

Can't believe I'm saying this, but tonight is a must win for the Yankees.

Going into Philly down 0-2 will be too big of a hole to climb out of.

You mean kind of like this hole?:-)

Sorry about that. I couldn't help myself. That just seemed too easy to pass up.:-)

Honestly, last night was exactly what we (Phillies fans) hoped for and expected with Lee on the mound. He's been incredible this post season. It's a different ball game when he's pitching.

I have a feeling tonight is going to be a lot different. The bats are going to wake up on both sides and I think we see quite a few more runs scored.

I think we'll get 4 or 5 good innings out of Pedro, but then the pen is going to have to go to work.

With the loss of game 1, tonight is a must win indeed.
Down 0-2, even the almighty Yankees may see that win in 5 some predicted and some of just blew off.
I still have faith they will make this a series but that series goes via a win tonight.
Will certainly have me on pins and needles.
I am hoping I don't get to feel like a Patriots fan ala my Giants.:-)

My neighbors got together and decided to lend a helping hand digging the type of hole it would be in the Yankees don't bring their A game tonight and out do the Phillies.

Being an AL fan , I would like for the Yankees to win. But, they better win tonight, or its over:-)

It was a shame to see Cliff's shutout blown by a bad throw.
Cool thing is, he could care less. :-)
If there was one thing that impressed me last night, it was the Phillies composure. They're calm, and absolutely certain they're going to hand the Yankees their ass.
I can't wait for the game tonight. I hope the Yankees show up and give Philly a game.
What a series already. I couldn't be more pleased. :-)

"Must" win tonight? Am I the only one who remembers 1996 against the Braves? Down 0-2, the Yankees won 4 straight to capture their 23rd WS.

Hey, I want a win in The Bronx tonight too, but the only MUST win is the last game.

If you look closely, you can see Baby Jessica in the lower left hand corner of that hole.:-)
