I'm rooting for a pitcher's duel here.

So far so good my friend! Go PHILS!!!

Did anyone see the d*ckhead Yankees fan giving everyone the finger after the 2nd Utley home run? Typical New York class act.

[UMass922]

Lee is cruising. And that was an awesome catch on that pop-up. xlolx

[blukeys]

I am officially a fan of Staff Sergeant Mary Kay Messenger. What an awesome rendition of "God Bless America".

[blukeys]

RAAAAULLL does it again Fightin's over the dirt bags. 4-0

[blukeys]

Phils now up 5-0!!!

[UMass922]

Does Lee come back out for the ninth at this point? Maybe now you save him in case you want to use him on short rest later in the series.

I would've kept Lee on the bench after that top of the 9th - pretty long inning and he's already thrown 100+. No worries, Yanks aren't scoring 6 in this inning, but didn't see the need to pitch Lee. Besides, how many times this year does Lee seem to cruise through 8 innings, and then gives up a run to ruin a shutout in the 9th?

2 more outs to go before this one's in the bag.

What a cool Halloween promotion by the Yankees to hand out the empty seat costumes! xwhistlex

[GannonFan]

1 more out to go as A-Roid goes down for the klan on the night.

Yeah, those corporate seats starting emptying in mass after the 7th.

[UMass922]

Beautiful game by Lee.

[93henfan]

Complete game domination by Lee. xbowx


Thanks for inspiring the World Champs there, New York Post. xthumbsupx

[GannonFan]

And that does it - Phils win, and we sit just 3 wins away from the Repeat Parade down Broad Street. There's a reason this team had the best road record in the majors this year and why they are the Defending Champs - this team is a bunch of gamers. xthumbsupx

[GannonFan]

I'm outta here - need some sleep if I'm going to stay up for Pedro-fest tomorrow night!

[TheValleyRaider]

Good game from Lee, good win for the Phillies

See you tomorrow night

[blukeys]

Great game by Lee. And as Harry the K would say. "CHASE UTLEY YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!

[Elon Fightin' Christians]

That was fun last night. It's been since Steve Carlton that I felt completely comfortable with a one or two run lead. Don't get me wrong, the extra late runs sure made things even more comfortable, but Lee is just incredible. xbowx

[ngineer]

"Carltonesque" is quite apropos. Guy is on cool customer. Howabout this for a headline..."Phillies Chase Manhattan...Bronx, Queens, SI,and Brooklyn Outta Here!"xthumbsupx

[Pards Rule]

Love it!! What a great win and Lee was like Mr. Easy out there. And how about that incredibly cerebral Jimmy Rollins duplicity to get the double play!!! One of the classic DP in World Series history!! OK, I need to calm down. We need three. Can we clone Cliff Lee?

[Ivytalk]

Lee was confident and masterful. Utley seems to be back to his old self. Howard smoked 2 more doubles. Awesome!xthumbsupx
