Watching the game last night made me think that if the other, lesser, Manuel was managing last night, then Utley would have probably been sat because the lesser Manuel wouldhave decided he couldn’t hit a lefty like CC the great.
The other thought was that watching the Philly team the Mets front office better come to the conclusion that injuries or no, the ’09 NYmets wouldn’t come close to the talent of the Phillies.
And did anyone notice how relaxed the greater Manuel was right from the start and his attitude reflected all theru the team, just as the lesser Manuel’s hideous attitude is reflected all thru the Mets team.

I was at a debate in town where everybody opened by saying “Thank you for coming out on such a rainy night and missing the start of the World Series” and they were all Yankee fans. Then I came home and was watching Mythbusters with my wife and son and didn’t even remember there was a game on until the 8th inning. But don’t get me wrong: I am Really Mildly Interested in this Series!

Jeff (36): Where have you been all night? Pressure now on the Yankees and you have to wonder if Burnett is up to it.-JD

Complete game, no walks, 10 strikeouts. That is pretty impressive. I’m starting to think that You Gotta B… heh, um, (cough)… I mean, I’m starting to think that the Yankees aren’t the favorites everybody thought they were. If Pedro can shut them down again tomorrow, this could be over a lot sooner than 7.

The opening game of the 2009 World Series started out as a pitcher’s duel between Yankee CC Sabathia, and Cliff Lee who eventually pitched a complete game and led the Phillies to a six to one win in an off and on drizzle.

Tomorrow’s game:AJ Burnett and Pedro Martinez @ 7:30PM on FOX.

See you then.

John (32) maybe I heard it wrong – I was half asleep at the time.

John (32) not sure but those 11 people apparently blame him for the bull pen pitchers performances – I guess.

Annie (31): I don’t see where Girardi has blown this game for the Yankees.-JD

John (30) They just did – it’s 4-0 now. Reminds me that in Tony Paige’s WS poll, Girardi was named the ‘goat’ 11 times.

EIGHTH INNING: Three walks in the inning and the Phillies haven’t been able to push a run across. This could be a huge part of this game if the Phillies don’t break it open.-JD
