God damn, did I just not understand that recap right on that 1st out strike out? Cause man it seemed like those were 4 clearly missed fast balls and a curve that hit the edge and can could be called a strike?
Don't get me wrong, I really need to yankees to win, but...wtf...did they take some pitches out or something? I had just flipped back to the game
Cliff Lee is perhaps the most relaxed pitcher I've ever seen. Did someone for get to tell him this is the world series? But yea, holy shit he's shredding the Yankees.

Holy shit Cliff Lee.
Plat an ex-Yankee reliever who would not be named (so it wasn't Gossage) said the reason Hughes is throwing so shitty is because he is scared shitless. Which, really, if you watch his body language and his eyes, is really really true.

Damn, really? I think you're right. He's just a kid, spends the whole season hearing about how he's so relaxed and focused, then he hits the playoffs and bam. It's like,"Oh fuck, this shit just got real", and now he's lost all confidence in his fastball.
Now Pedro is coming to town. This is weird. What year are we in again? :P
Lee is a good pitcher, but I think part of his relaxed-ness was facing CC The Bathtub and knowing he'd already out-pitched him earlier this year. By this theory if the Yankees had started someone else he might not have been at ease.
It's a stupid theory but since Lee and CC are friendly it just might work.

I know that the Yankees haven't give up that many homers to leftys in the new ballpark, but after Utley's one man show last night I wonder if "perhaps we shouldn't have built a fence a little leaguer could piss over" passed through management's minds?

I think I would have started Hamels instead of Pedro tonight, and had Pedro go against Pettite.
Still I'm hoping to see the Yankees in an 0-2 hole tonight. It might not make for a good series, but it would be hilarious if they wound up getting swept.

Not at all
Also I think Hamels and Pedro lose both games. I honestly didn't think we'd beat Lee the way he was pitching.

Nah, the only homerun that looked like it wouldn't have gone out in any other ballpark was the first one to Utley. He kinda golfed that low middle fastball just a foot over the right field wall. It giveth and taketh away. (Paging Johnny Damon, paging Johnny Damon.)
The second one was just straight power to the center-right. That's what you get for leaving a fat one over the plate for someone with as sweet a swing as Utley.

Yes, parts of the city would implode and it would be amazing.
WFAN would be filled with callers complaining about everything under the sun (mostly A-Rod just 'cause) and it would fill my heart with what I assume would be joy.

I have no issue with that, just needed to know.
Lee just won it. hopefully CC can reverse that in game 4 if they find themselves head to head.

If you watch, 13 seconds in, there's a clearly incensed Yankee fan to the upper left of the entryway.
Edit: Also, Cliff Lee just don't care.

Someone wake up Phil Hughes and tell him it's time to pitch like his usual self again. (Though he seriously got squeezed a lot on the outside corner.)
