Yeah, but....
Francesa was sounding a little scared about Burnett on short rest. He was worried that if Lee beats Burnett, then Andy on short rest vs. Pedro on full rest would be edge to Pedro, and then you’d have a fully rested Hamels against a tired CC in game 7.
I would be fun to watch him and the Yankee fans sweat out a game 7.
In general, any series that gets to a game 7 works for me. I like the drama.

i will tune in ONLY to watch the Yankers celebrate on that gritty field of passion, so as to avoid a couple hours of Buckist air pollution. I for one, welcome our new Yankee overlords.

Well dang.....
I didn’t know Amazin’ Ave had WS game chats. Wish I did before tonight. Following along on some Philly or Yanks game chats was making me sick..
Have to laugh b/c the only thing they agree on is the umps suck and McCarver is a homer fan of each respective team, depending on whose blogs I was reading…..
by MetsFan4Decades on Nov 2, 2009 9:32 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Hey
So what’s the consensus on this blog? Rather see Yanks or Phils lose the series?
It’s been heavily debated on our real dirty Met blog for the past two weeks. It’s running like 70% wanting the Phils to lose, 30% Yanks to lose.
by MetsFan4Decades on Nov 2, 2009 9:35 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I want the Yankees to lose.
Notice I didn’t say I want the Phillies to win.
by fxcarden on Nov 2, 2009 9:36 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
LOL
That’s the one thing we all agree on – none of us want either team to win!
I’m a life long Yankee hater but I just cannot bring myself to see the Phils win this year again. Just can’t do it…

it depends how many fans of each team you have to deal with over the winter.
for me, its (1) Phillies fan, and ( hundreds ) of Yankee fans.
it’s really no contest

Well,
in my family it’s first generation Met fans, second generation Met fans, 3rd generation split between Phills and Yankees fans. And that’s just family.
Thankfully, my office Command is located in VA so coworkers don’t much care one way or another….

I have to agree. They paid a lot of money for the Yankee version of our good/bad Ollie. You never know what you’re gonna get from that guy on any given start.

so tell us about the other blogs (Yanks and Phils).
by fxcarden on Nov 2, 2009 9:42 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Well....
true to form, the two Phils blogs I’ve been following having been doing nothing but whining – and I mean big time. There was one long argument earlier today on Philliesnation.com where one guy kept going on and on about that ARod hit the camera HR. Said it was illegal. Said it changed the whole Phillies mindset. Said they were playing scared. I’m thinking ‘Oh, brother’. The whining was a multitude of everything from that to Fox only shows replays of pitches for blown calls for Yanks pitchers to the never ending meeting on the mounds by Yanks to slow the game down.
And the Yankee fans over on Pin Stripe alley – well, they’re true to form. ’WE ARE THE YANKEES. We are great. blah, blah, blah…
by MetsFan4Decades on Nov 2, 2009 9:45 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

But the best was...
Neither side can stand Buck and McCarver. Both think they’re homers for the opposing team. And one guy actually said they should have hired the SNY booth b/c those guys know baseball and call a good game.
SNY – best booth in baseball.

PhilsPhandom
the other day were actually trying to convince each other that Victorino was a better CF than Beltran and Rollins was a better SS than Jeter, across their careers so far.
Talk about clueless.
by MetsFan4Decades on Nov 2, 2009 9:49 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
And I don't know
which comment was more crazy.
Rollins had like one good year. Jeter is most probably going to the HOF.
And Victorino better than Beltran? Couple of Met fans asked them to prove it and I think all they could come up with was that Victorino had more ‘heart’ and ‘grit’. LOL.

80% of Phillies comments on these blogs though
agree that both Hamels and Lidge should go.
Yeah…..I think they owe Lidge like 23MIL over the next two years.
Hamels they just signed that extension for but I suppose he could be traded.
by MetsFan4Decades on Nov 2, 2009 9:55 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
maybe we can trade Heilman for Lidge

Someone give Posada and whoever is pitching a pair of walkie talkies. Maybe next season they’ll put one of those airport moving walkways between the plate and the mound.

Not on the Phillies blogs
that’s for sure. The comments I’ve been reading all season has me convinced that many on those blogs truly are bandwagon fans. I think I know more about Phillies history than they do.
They were trying to convince themselves this morning that they can come back from being down 3-1.
One actually said, ‘if the ’86 Mets can come back after game 4 being down 3-1, we can’.
Uh….correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t it 2-2 after 4 games in ’86? LOL.

i thought their rally cry would be something like Clemens throwing a bat or a picture of a mets fan crying

They had something going with posters the other day
one of them had the bat incident and was basically saying “throw the bat, Piazza is too much of a p___y to charge the mound”.
by fxcarden on Nov 2, 2009 10:11 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Funny you should say that...
Last night, one of the blogs posted that picture of Clemens throwing that broken bat, commenting something like Piazza was a weannie who wouldn’t go after Clemens.

As ideal as the Yankees clinching tonight sounds, I'm doubting it will happen.
Think about it: First season in a brand spanking new mansion stadium with probably, in their fans’ eyes at least, the perfect team ever assembled in Yankee history. What better way to end the season than to clinch it at home?
Scary, I know.

So, Lee at 103 pitches
I think…
Do they bring him back out? I say no. Let’s see the Philly BP try and hold this. I need the yuk, yuk factor. If it’s gonna be painful either way, give me some laughs…

I would bring him back out,
and have the bullpen ready to go.

I wouldn't either.
It’s the phillies version of the Met ’08 BP – only our closer was on the DL last 6 weeks, instead of being crap.

neither of which he deserved.

That MVP award really gets on my nerves, and still does.
All because of a gutsy prediction and a Mets collapse does he get that award? I wonder what he was doing to try and attain such an honor. Then again, I rather not wonder.

i think so too
because if anybody ever beats that record that would be a ridiculous inning

They're not going to choke it away.
They just can’t be capable of such a feat. Only the Mets can pull it off.

I gotta give Victorino a little credit.
at least he REALLY wants to play.

The Yankees are now within striking distance.
Shit.

Normally
you would see the closer in a 3 run ball game.
Charlie thinks about bringing Lidge in, I say he lost his mind….

Before ARod scored, a Philly fan commented on BL:
’What terrifies me is that if A-Rod should score from third, this becomes a Lidge situation. ’
by MetsFan4Decades on Nov 2, 2009 11:02 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Nope
Just thinking to myself ‘how does it feel’.
That ‘08 BP of ours isn’t a distant enough memory.

This from a Philly fan:
‘If #54 is anywhere near the mound, I will drive to CBP myself and strangle Charlie on national TV.’
You think the phils fans have lost faith in their closer? hahahaha.

Sounds like a certain group that hangs out in Mets game threads
any time Bb-Rod comes in a game.
by fxcarden on Nov 2, 2009 11:12 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
LOL.
I wouldn’t go that far. You can’t compare KRod to Lidge, at least not the ’09 version of Lidge.
Case in point, notice Lidge is not in. If this was us, it would be KRod. And yes, we would be holding our breath.

if it was us I wouldn't be here
I’d be in an ER somewhere

is just awful. Something else I hope they don’t address in the off season.

Only way that's gonna happen
Is if they put a gun to Amaro’s head and told him either to keep this team the way it is or trade everyone for shitty AAAA players. Our success rate against them would skyrocket fo’ sho’!

Wow
Major disrespect for Lidge.
That would never happen with the Mets. They stick with their guy even if he costs them the game (which is a bad thing ).
by fxcarden on Nov 2, 2009 11:14 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Unless it was '08
then, in the 9th inning, it was like ‘pick a guy, any guy’…..
And on that note, boy their BP really does suck.

Aww, we were three runs and three outs away
From saying that the Curse of Billy Penn never died and that it just took last year off.
On the bright side, they’re now hoping that Pedro go the distance Wednesday, because if he don’t, then they’re good as fucked.

one thing we learned
we may not like victorino, but he’s apparently a better manager than charlie manuel.
note: don’t arbitrarily bench your center fielder in the late innings of a world series game! may have cost them three runs (in the what if universe.)

Ugh
two of my best friends who haven’t shut up about being at Game 5 of last year’s World Series were at the game tonight. I was so, so, so badly hoping the Yankees would complete the comeback. Derek Jeter is the unclutchiest player ever.
Somehow, I wouldn’t be shocked if Carlos Beltran gets blamed for Cap’n Jetes’ DP tomorrow
