It's former Brewer CC Sabathia and the Yankees against Cliff Lee and the BCB endorsed Phillies tonight at 6:57.

Enjoy the game!

I must say

I loved the Star Wars music when the lineups were announced.

Is there some way that they can both lose?

That would be ideal, I think.

So is this effective struggling?

Lots of pitches, but CC’s still getting outs.

It'll be effective until he gets tired

He’s thrown over 45 pitches, compared to Lee’s 27.

I can’t imagine they’ll be too happy if they have to use up a lot of bullpen

I think it's the grunt that does it for me...

Ooo... lovely graphic on the I-95...

… 108 miles, 5 tolls, 2 rivers, and an indeterminate amount of serial killers.

I guess I won't be uber excited if the Phillies win the series

but I hope they beat the crap out of the Yankees. Does that philosophy work?

Pretty much sums up my attitude.

So I'm watching the World Serious on the MLB Network

And I can’t help but wonder where the color cameras went.

Every time one of you calls it that

all I can think is Wonder Pets “This is sewwwwwious!”

I liked the one where they mixed up outfits and there was the impetuous competing pet

If I had to take a side

I guess I would give the Phillies the slightest nod in memory of Harry Kalas. He even did the “play by play” for the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet.

I always liked him more doing football than baseball

Though, I only listened to him doing baseball the last few years. So, perhaps, my opinion is skewed

Hey look!

The umps actually made the right call!

FOX already has the home team it wants

So subscribers to the conspiracy theory might well expect the umpiring to improve this series.

Doubt it

But Hamels is set up to pitch game 7 on regular rest.

i'll be less upset if the phillies take the series

but i’m still rooting for the rain.
