Surviving Grady:
I am not ready to give up on the Phillies. 2004 showed me that anything, anything at all, can happen in a seven game series. In my warped mind, last night's win just set the Yankees up for a harder fall.Cliff Lee brings his Yankee-killing ways to the hill tonight to try to silence the suddenly-vocal bats of the Yanks. And what are the odds A.J. Burnett pitches two good games in a row? Especially since he, like C.C last night, is going on short rest. Manuel held Lee back to give him his regular rest.Just how much of a ***** can A-Rod be, squawking to the ump about getting hit three times in the series? Breaking news: everybody pitches you inside, douchebag. And did anyone catch that hug A-Rod gave Damon after the game? Makes you wonder...Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Who is the Most Likely MVP of the World Series?
World Series MVP: The Yankees could clinch it tonight - doubtful, Cliff Lee is pitching - and the MVP vote would be difficult. Can A-Rod possibly be in contention despite getting just two hits in the first four games? Jeter is 7-for-16, and a likely contender. Underappreciated Mariano Rivera has three saves, and has to [...]
To A.J. Or Not to A.J.
Here's the million dollar question: Do you want A.J. Burnett starting game 5 over Chad Gaudin? I'm not sure myself. There are pros and cons to both and I'm not sure which side has better arguments. This decision could end up proving to be a colossal mistake. It could definitely end up biting the Yankees right in the rear. The lineup is likely going to be very weak tonight. The...

Another Traitor
As if Massarotti's column wasn't enough, read this from today's New York Times.This guy, Joe Nocera, who claims to be a "card-carrying member of Red Sox Nation" since the 1950s and '60s, is actually "warming up to the Yankees" and even refers to them as "underdogs." (Nobody with the payroll they've got are "underdogs.") He seems to get all warm and fuzzy about George Steinbrenner...
Burnett gets call on short rest for Yankees in Game 5
PHILADELPHIA — Because of extra rest, the Yankees continue to use their top pitchers on short rest.
As expected, the Yankees will start A.J. Burnett on three days rest opposite of Phillies ace Cliff Lee. No Chad Gaudin. The reason is simple: Yankees manager Joe Girardi felt like his pitchers were ready to do this after [...]
