Not to take anything away from the entire Philadelphia Phillies rotation and lineup, but Chase Utley can really swing a bat.

In a must-win situation for his team, Chutley launched a 4-seam fastball from New York Yankees starter A.J. Burnett to the right field seats in the second inning to give the reigning Champs a 3-1 lead. Why is this special? It marks his fourth longball of the World Series and fifth of this postseason, which is the most in MLB history for a second baseman.

That my friends, is what we like to refer to as badass.

The Bronx is not burning

One wonders why the Yankees, who've watched as Alex Rodriguez has been hit three times, haven’t sent a message to locked-in slugger Chase Utley, who tied Reggie Jackson’s mark yesterday with five homers in the Fall Classic.

The New York Yankees lost game five to the Philadelphia Phillies by a score of 8-5. A.J. Burnett got the loss. Chase Utley is killing the Yankees. The Yankees are going to have to pitch around him and pitch to “I strike out a lot” Ryan Howard. I was actually expecting the Yankees to win the [...]

For A.J., fear strikes out

Joe Girardi has a Game 6, maybe a Game 7 back in the Bronx. He's facing a revived Phillies lineup, a Herculean Chase Utley. He might start two more pitchers on three days' rest. And he has only himself to blame.
