that game was awesome. If they Phillies can get game 2 as well, it'll be great.

Figured Game 1 could go either way, Lee's been an animal this postseason. Hopefully the lineup wakes up against Pedro tomorrow.

Yankees bullpen could be their undoing in this series. There is zero confidence among their relievers right now.

Definitely better than the Phils pen though, as far as I've seen. Cliff Lee going complete all the time has kept them strong in the playoffs so far.

Girardi better use Posada as catcher tomorrow. Burnett's last game showed he can fall apart with anyone catching him. Have the feeling Joe is gonna keep Molina in there though.

I dunno who New York goes to for long relief. Hughes has been awful.

Aceves. Joba could go 2 innings as well I'd think.
More worried about someone stepping up to set up Mo. He can't pitch two innings every game he gets in this series. |

“I might be at times the most influential player that ever stepped in Yankee Stadium. I can honestly say that,” on his place in Yankee lore. He later clarified it, saying he meant both opponents and Yankees. - Pedro Martinez quote today
LOL. Can't wait for Pedro to be throwing 88 MPH fastballs up there tomorrow. Hopefully Burnett shows up. |

Yeah love Pedro. Was so excited when the Mets got him. Even though they gave him way more money/years than they should have, getting him was the key to attracting other top FAs. He was so much fun to watch during the 2005 season.

Remember a few years ago, Pedro hit Soriano and then Jeter back to back in the hand to start a playoff game. ... I think it was Soriano leading off, forget exactly who.

wow, what the heck. Not a good way to start. pretty much the worst way to start a series. hitting was bad, bullpen was bad, Cliff Lee looked invincible and we had some base running goofs. we'll see how the Yanks respond tonight vs Pedro. I can easily see Pedro going a stong 7 though.

Kinda crazy to have Molina out there again. Thought that last game proved Posada should be out there.
Don't really mind Hairston being in because apparently he's hit Pedro pretty well. And the fact that Swisher has looked completely lost out there this whole postseason. No matter what the lineups are I'm not really expecting a pitcher's duel. |

Best is when they asked why Pedro hit Karim Garcia in the '03 ALCS and he repeatedly says "Who is Karim Garcia?"

It's the right decision and they probably should've done it sooner. Hairston's a .370 hitter against Pedro. Swisher couldn't hit .370 playing tee ball.

I don't think fans will care that much. Despite how much Swisher is liked they saw how terrible he's been.

Think I counted 6 dropped balls by Molina in the first 2 innings. |
