You are aware that Charlie Manuel isn't looking or even needing a Lee like performance from Pedro tonight. I think Pedro's backclass is significant in this spot. The guys is a huge competitor that has pitched great in big spots before. He has played much of is career in the northeast so he's seen his share of cold weather games. Also I'm sure that Pedro would probably like to pitch another couple of seasons and tonight will be another open audition to the rest of the world (although he's probably done enough to get a contract out of someone next season).
You are underestimating a guy that has done plent of damage to the Yankees in the past.

that being said anything can happen in 1 game , but mlb odds are set based on starting pitching

lee offered value last night , i don't see pedro offering it, if you bet the phillies tonight you need your bullpen to win the game in my opinion (which could happen)

I dont give a flying fucl< about Vegas odd's gales. That's all you. Dumbasses who get wet dreams over the Yankee's drive Vegas odds.

How'd those odd's work out for ya last night?

This is a damn baseball game and any thing can happen. I happen to be very happy being a Phillies fan. I cant wait to watch great games and find out what my team is made of. You and other Yankee fans like to celebrate before you even win anything.

I really hope Pedro is in Red and White next year. We have enough starters to not have to beat the crap out of him with the amount of innings pitched.

But enough about next year. I'm ready for tonite!

i know that , he knows he will need the pen tonight, i just think he is going to need it a lot earlier than everybody thinks

i asked anti to bet me on if she thinks he will make it a full 5 innings tongiht
she didn't want to take it ....where is her confidence , her confidence is on her team to bail him out and win the game by getting into the yankee pen

I really don't think she cares whether Pedro pitchs a 2 hit shutout and win 1-0 or lasts 1/3 off an inning and wins 23-20. Just as long as they win.
Also I don't know where you are getting all this Burnett confidence from. Granted the guy has amazing stuff when he's on and has been pretty good so far in the playoffs. But he does have the knack for letting the wheels come off the bus quickly in an inning. Also this is the biggest spot he has ever pitched in, plus it gets magnified by the fact that they are already down 1-0 in the series. Remember Pedro is the one that has the backclass.

I'm sure she would be happy losing the bet if it meant the Phillies won the game and that scenario is definitley possible.

even if the phillies win tongiht the yankees can stil win the war in my opinion, what is your take if they lose tonight?

I'm SuRe Math wants to go to Philly for 3 straight games (where we rock the park harder than ANYWHERE!) down 2-0.

I said Yanks in 7. I never discounted or taken the Phillies lightly. I think that they are a very good team. Solid pitching and a very dangerous lineup with no real holes in it.
Sure they could still win the series if the lose tonight. Hell they could win if they go down 3-0. They did win 100 some odd games this year. A four game winning streak with this club is within the realm of possibility. But by no means will it be easy. You can't just turn it on and off against a team that is as good as the Phills. I really think you are discounting how good they actually are.

i know they are good , but without lee , and getting him in the middle of the season , do you really think they would be here without him?

you are such and idiot and I hope every team you root for loses every game they play for the rest of your life.

I'm gonna do work before I try to choke you through my computer screen.

explain it to me how they are here without lee? i don't see it , pedro is your 2nd starter , hamels stinks , blanton stinks , if you don't have lee how are you even in the playoffs???

[Gander]

My question is why is all the focus on Pedro tonight?

If I were a Yankee fan I would be more concerned with the Phillies hitters because in case you havent noticed, they are pretty good! And AJ Burnett is as much of a question mark as to which one will show up as Pedro, no?

I dont get it. Even if you guys (the Yankees) get 5-6 runs off Pedro, you still have to contain some pretty salty hitters on the Phillies.

It doesn't matter, they got him and they are here. You can't play the if and what game. It's irrelevant!

no pedro has no shot tonight timmy , burnett has some chance that is why the yanks are -170

Quite a bed shitting last night by the bombers.

Sigh. Again, you arent getting my point. Pedro is getting way too much attention. He can allow 6 runs and the Yankees can still lose if the wild Burnett shows up. I think this is going to be an offensive shootout tonight.
There is no way this game will be decided by the 2 guys starting.

Stop talking about Pedro!
