Soon we will be watching lefties Cole Hamels for the Phils and Andy Pettitte for the Bombers in between stealing Snickers and Reeses cups from the kids, leaving them smarties and Necco wafers. Sure, kids, those are delicious! Enjoy your chalk! Comment away.

Enormous strike zone for Hamels tonight. It’d better be the same for Pettitte.

lol, “YOU TOOK STEROIDS” chant.
philly fans break out the “you took steriods” chant for pettitte. come’on philly fan, you’re better than that……errrrr
Chase Utley, long-lost son of Ian McShane, get K’d.
Pettitte actually took HGH. But let’s not get things like “facts” get in the way of the Phillies fans’ right to expression.
KRS-ONE goes down swinging.
Hamels drills A-Rod with the first pitch.
That is a way to get on base.
tim to joe; “elston howard invented fire.”
Werth reaches across the plate and golfs into LF. Impressive, but also bleh. 0-1.
Mercifully, the inning is over.
Andy had better get his shit together and fast.
Uggg.
This series if over boys…Andy 51 pitches thru 2? Wait til they get too our nougety bullpen…
It’s been a fun year. Phillies are better. Period.
Rodriguez HR. If the umpires can get it right that is…
A-Rod hits one on the RF camera, just above the railing. Replay pending!
IT’S GOOD!!
3-2!
This isn’t terribly relevant in this case, but I think wherever possible, the dividing line between in-play and out-of-the-park should be demarcated with a yellow stripe. I notice that isn’t the case at CBP.
Swisher trying to rectify his offseason!
Also FSP the camra should never be technically in play.
Swisher slumpbuster! Swish doubles down the left field line.
PETTITTE
Fuck it, Andy’s gonna get himself some runs! AP bloops one to center… SWISHASCORES. Tie game!
YESSSS DAMON. IT’s the redemption song!
Wow, the DH, i mean pitcher, spot delivers.
Walein – yeah i know, that’s why my comment wasn’t relevant to this specific case. i just think it’s generally helpful for a vivid stripe to help the eye judge depth. having a bright line there could even preempt the need to go to replay in some cases, because it would be easier to see in live action.
Johnny breaks the game wide open with a double to right center. Pettitte jogs home, followed by Jeter. 5-3.
What a glorious inning. I love baseball.
Tex walks it out.
Hamels is getting his shit rocked right now.
Charlie Manuel ends Hamels’ night. That got out of hand fast for him.
Time for the Yankees to SMITE the Phils’ bullpen and GNAW ON THEIR BONES.
I’m sorry, that may have been too much.
But these are strange and terrible times.
Jorge craps it up. better call a great bottom half of the inning.
Happ is just a boy; he looks like a newborn foal out there. Yankees had better pound on his fastball, that thing’s straight as an arrow.

Maybe not… :)
Swisher jacks one to left. GAWN.
The new batting stance is working out well.
“Let’s Go Yankees” chant.
Holy shit, krueg just internet smiled.
Somewhere, an angel gets its wings.
I am so drunk…watching the game at our friends house, he is a Mets fan, she is a Cubs fan…the Mrs. and I have them rooting for the Yankees and WE ARE WINNING!!! Let’s finish them off…NOW!!!!
LET’S GO YANKEES!!!
DAYUM. Werth hits a monster shot into the upper deck. 6-4.
I jinxed it…we’re done. Fuck.
Goddammit, krueg.
all night he was at 3 pitches with Ruiz
Eiland comes out to say “Hey, that was fucking Carlos RUiz dude. Can we get out of this without facing the top of the order?”
Nick: probably pettitte’s last batter
me: definitely
Andy had a rough night with the righties tonight. But, with the exception of the one inning, pitched very well.
Jorge making that silly ump look even sillier. we better start getting that call for Joba.
MATSUI
Hideki is November-San!
Am I just realizing that the average age of the YFSF site fan is 10 and everybody is out trick or treating?
Hey! I’m 10 and a half!
Marte is sharp, sharp, sharp.
Marte is making his case as the go-to guy in this postseason.
marte was fantastic that inning
HIP HIP! JORGE chant in CBP. Nice.
love the yanks fans infiltrating the CBP. grown men should not wear red or wave towels.
Mo gets 2 outs with 5 pitches. Mo is God.
Awesome, awesome win. Series lead 2-1!
From Ken Tremendous’ twitter:
“Mariano Rivera doesn’t pitch. He puts his hand over your mouth and nose and whispers “Shhhhh” as you slowly disappear into sleep.”
I may puke tonight but it’s worth it…
