Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009

[VirtualSmitty]

Theeeeeeeeeeeeee Yankees win! Pedro was good, Burnett was better. Mo was Mo, and Ryan Howard got himself a golden sombrero tonight

Pretty much game 1 all over again...pitcher's duel with the Yanks getting the upper hand tonight.

Nice win.

Where are all the big boys at? Way too many strike outs amongst them.

Cmon Joe.... you had to be sweating it out just a little after they took the lead in the second. I'm shocked Burnett had it in him to pitch a good game, more so after giving up that first run.

Nice win, this is shaping up to be a solid series.

What a great game to watch.

We are tied. Yankees did what great teams do. They win when they have to.
Hoping for that theme to continue.

I think Pete hit the nail on the head. Due to the lack of interest of AL affiliated fans watching NL games, and NL affiliated fans watching AL games, credit to the opposition in this series has been pretty low from both sides. I think I can say with some certainty that the best two teams in baseball this year are in the World Series. It's really shaping up to be a great series.

Go Phillies!!

No doubt thus far, a great series.
I would be shocked if it doesn't go 7 games as I have felt from the onset

Phillies needed one of the two games and they got it.
Yankees needed last night as a must win and they got it.
While I will gladly admit Lee was on fire the first game, I was blown away by the movement on Burnett's pitches last night. There were some that looked like they were headed for the batter and would move right into the strike zone at the last second. The dip on his breaking ball was amazing.
Both winning pitchers did an amazing job of shutting down great hitting.

I was laughing my butt off with the wife.
She despises Pedro and you should have heard the slurs being yelled in my family room by her.
