[Guest Edgy DC]

"Jeter to his left... he can't get to that ball."

Never heard that before.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Oooh, Jeets, that hurt.

[Frayed Knot]

Say it with me folks: Man that Jeter always gets a hit when you need it!!

Except when it was.

[Guest Edgy DC]

So, how about them going back to Pedro instead of Happ for Game Six?

I know conventional wisdom says to go to the vet, especially the Hall of Fame-bound vet, when faced with a tough post-season choice like this, but part of me wonders if Martinez left it all on the mound in Game Two.

[TransMonk]

Pedro pitching makes it easier for me to root for the Phillies.

[metirish]

I think Pedro is an easy choice with Happ waiting if he flounders and Lee in game seven on short rest. I'm feeling better with Pedro on normal rest than Pettitte on short rest.

[Frayed Knot]

I think Happ is maybe the starter for game 7 depending on whether their confidence level in Hamels is at ZERO or just at low.

[TransMonk]

If I'm Philly, I start Lee in a potential Game 7 on short rest.

It's not as if all hands aren't on deck. He'll have 3 months to rest before ST.

Evidently Hamels and Meyers nearly mixed it up after the game last nite over Hamels' "can't wait for it to end" remarks.

I would guess Hamels' comments were taken way out of context by writers quick to scapegoat his perceived lack of big-game-ness, he also said many times in the same talk that he wanted to go in Game 7.

Anyway, seems like Girardi made things tough for himself, with the only upside being the prospect of Gay Jay better rested for an emergency Game 7 relief role.

Game Six is gonna be [bigpurple:83ha4a8b]Big Purple[/bigpurple:83ha4a8b] huge.

Hamels? A well-meaning tool, it seems, but not the sharpest.

The "altercation" between them wasn't an actual confrontation-- just Myers joking, jovial spousal abuser that he is.

Crybaby MFYs say Phillies are stealing signs. Because, you know, that's the only way the mighty MFYs could ever lose...



Phillies stealing Yankees' signs?

By Mark J. Miller

Phillies center fielder Shane Victorino is not happy with one of the team's former managers, Larry Bowa. Not happy one little bit. Bowa apparently said that the Phils are sign stealers and the New York Yankees apparently agree with him. That would explain why Jorge Posada is using seven billion signs even when nobody is on base.

Last night, Victorino let it be known that his team isn't cheating and that Bowa has no idea what he's talking about, according to the New York Post. "I guess he knows something that I don't know about, obviously," Victorino said. "You know, everybody makes excuses. Everybody is going to find a reason. For Bowa to come out and say something like that if he doesn't know what he's talking about, if he doesn't have cold, hard facts, he shouldn't say something like that.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Sign stealing ain't cheating. Actually, ain't stealing, it's deciphering. And it's hard.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

In MFY World, spending a quarter billion dollars on two pitchers and a first baseman is OK, peeking at the catcher's finger movements is not.

OK.

[MFS62]

I think Jeter must have stolen those three Golden Glove Awards.

Later

[Frayed Knot]

Part of the accusation is that Philly uses a camera mounted somewhere in the outfield to do this stealing. Apparently the Mets accused them of this several years back and so Bowa is using the 'everybody knows they do it' line as his reasoning while otherwise offering no real proof.

In addition to Posada's multi-sign dance he does, it might also be an explanation for the 4 meetings per inning minimum the Yanx seem to be employing.
Maybe they should revert to Morse code instead.

[Frayed Knot]

Game 6:

Victorino IS in the lineup and CF. Ben Francisco in LF, Werth in RF, Ibanez as DH

Yanqui OF = Damon, Gardner, Swisher, w/Matsui as DH

Infields need no introduction on either side.

[Fman99]

MFYs are winning. I refuse to watch even one more second of the rest of this fucking catastrophe of a baseball season.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

2-run HR for Howard. 7-3 after 6 2/3, and Pettitte leaves following an Ibanez double.

MFY crowd gives HGH Pants a standing ovation for a performance (4 hits, 6 BB, 3 ER) for which they would have castrated him four days ago.
