OT - (card-wise) --- Phils vs. Yanks

[Tim Kindler]

I'm a die-hard Yankees fan ever since I was a kid. It always saddened me to see my hero, Don Mattingly, only make the playoffs once, only to swept by the Mariners in 95 I have no cable so I listen to Sterling and Susan on WCBS 880 AM, funny thing is, it only comes in after it turns dark here in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. But it is awesome to see them back in the World Series again. I would love to see Mo, Jeter, Andy, and Jorge get their 5th rings and the rest of the gang get their first as a Yankee. BUT I AM WORRIED. In my opinion, the Yankees escaped against the Angels thanks to their shotty defense. The Yankees have left WAY TOO MANY runners on base and have squandered opportunity after opportunity this playoffs. I hope they take better advantage of their scoring opportunites this series, because their pitching has been awesome, but I don't think the Phillies will let them off the hook like the Twins and Angels did. Just my 2 cents!

Wow, Spaced out on the players, mixed a couple up w Angels. I still give Yankees 3B, and Phillies of too.

Even if the Yankees win the Red Sox are still the team of the decade and 21st century. We'll see if all that money the Yanks spent in the off season, and in prior years as well, will finally pay off. It will truly be the first 'bought' world series championship. Oh ya, and AROD sucks. I hope he chokes just like they did in 2004. That would make me so happy.

Boo Yankees

Go Phillies (and Pedro)!

I hope Teixeira, Damon, and Cano get their average and on base percentage up.
I've met Mariano before and he is a real nice guy. I 'll be rooting for him too. I agree with Yankees in five also.

You do realize that the Yankee payroll was LOWER this season than it was last season, don't you?

You do realize that the Yanks spent a quarter BILLION, yes BILLION, this off-season, don't you?

The ghost of Babe Ruth will curse the new stadium for 100 years. AriOd will never get a ring,but still gets to sleep with Kate Hudson.

No. No they didn't. They DID promise to pay that money out in the future however. (Their cash flow is pretty healthy. They are good for it.)

Ok, Ok, let's not split hairs, here

Where are all my Yankee haters? Come on, Boston - I know you guys are out there!

There are too many 'warm and fuzzies' among the Yankee fans in this thread. Red Sox nation needs to spoil this party. ...or rather the Phillies do.

Go Phils!!!
