World Series Game 1: Philadelphia Philles @ New York Yankees, 7:57 PM

PrintAs much as you might hate the Yankees, as much as you might hate the Phillies, as much as you might not even want to watch this World Series, remember that there are those out there who have it worse than us, at least tonight. For one second, imagine that you are a Cleveland Indians fan. Yeah, I feel sorry for those dudes.
That being said, this should be a hell of a game. CC Sabathia and Cliff Lee didn't win the Cy Young in back-to-back years for no reason. They're also apparently BFF, which is sort of cute.
The Yankees and Phillies last met in the World Series in 1950, a matchup that included 8 future Hall of Famers, including 23 year-old future Oriole Robin Roberts. The Yankees swept the series as their pitching staff allowed just 3 runs the entire series.
If you're in the mood to shake your head in disbelief, check out the headline at Pinstripe Alley today: "Finally! Our World Series Wait is Nearly Over" I read the article just in case, but the writer doesn't appear to be using irony in any way.
Let's play ball! I'm ready to get the hot stove cooking and that can't happen until this series is over.

A hot stove suggestion
Rerun some classic gameday threads.
Opening Day ’07 (or may be it was ’08) when 2632 was going on about the “woo girls” stands out in my mind as a good example.
You can't fix stupid. Stupid is forever.
Imperial March used to introduce the Phillies. Odd choice of music by the “Evil Empire”
I wonder if I can bill Jeff Lurie and Peter Angelos for the years of therapy their teams are going to put me through.
oh, i'm sure lots of folks got it.
"I doubt he could reach [second base]...mostly cuz his fucking arm was in Aybar's nuts." – twistedlogic
LOL…that took me WAY too long.
I wonder if I can bill Jeff Lurie and Peter Angelos for the years of therapy their teams are going to put me through.
I at first
thought the Yankees had chosen the Rocky theme as their music, and now I’m disappointed they didn’t.
How ballsy would that have been?
"I like baseball, movies, good clothes, whiskey, fast cars ... and you. What else you need to know?"
I yell “O” at any sporting event in the Baltimore or Washington area, or any location if I’ve had more than a few beers.
Usually its at Eagles games (including Green Bay and Cleveland) where people look at me like I’ve got two heads.
It’s weird the places you hear it, though.

I've been watching Glee on fox.com
and EVERY single commercial is an ad for Wanda Sykes’ show. The ads are painfully unfunny… like, how-could-anyone-think-this-qualifies-as-humor unfunny.

Is it better than Koufax-Palmer in ’66?

Jayson Werth didn’t figure things out until his third organization.

So you know he’s going to end up especially tortured this year and will have to make extra awful sacrifices.

and he’s said he thinks the show could go on without him, and intimated he wants Jack to die at the end.

Well I think Jack will die at the end, whenever that is

I'd wait until it's over.
If you can. Although I predict Lee will get them 1-2-3 in the 9th.

Might as well rough em up for the rest of the series while you can.
Dave, I fear we may have made a mistake.
Some Day, Matt Wieters Will Make The Cooperstown Crowd Laugh By Talking About The Time He Batted Behind Melvin Mora And Luke Scott. -Keith Law via Matt Wieters Facts
Its ok
thats just a built in reflex we have to seeing the Yankees come up in the 9th losing. They are SUPPOSED to win, remember?
That being said, I’m afraid too…
yeah
plus we’re used to seeing the Yankees come up against the Orioles in the 9th inning.

A lot of people are going to take satisfaction in the Phillies beating the Yankees . . .
but as someone who has lived among Philadelphia fans as well as New York fans, I really see no net gain if they strut around like the the champs. In some ways they are even uglier and nastier than the Yankee fans and that’s really saying something.
and
I don’t have to deal with Phillies fans ever so they can do whatever they want. I have to deal with the Yankees fans constantly.

For me, this is not about seeing the Phillies win
It is about seeing the Yankees lose. I believe you, but fuck the Yanks and go Phillies.
I've found the complete opposite
Living in philly for two years now, the whole rep has seemed very exaggerated. I’m almost disappointed.
What part of philly are you hanging out in?
It wasn’t at all exagerated for the 4 years that I spent there.
I see a net gain
in that I live in north Jersey. If I lived in central Jersey, I may feel different. Probably not, though, as I hate the Yankees more than anything else (at least the other unimportant things) in this world.
For once I agree with you. But still FUCK THE YANKEES.
I may hate Philly fans more than Yerks fans, but I still hate the fucking yankees much more than the phillies. I really have nothing against their team, although I definitely hate their fans after spending 4 years in that shithole of a city.
and they dont try to buy every player in baseball
they may have pulled off a rather ridiculous trade for cliff lee, but at least their payroll isn’t fucking enormous

worst case scenario
but what happens if they win? that shirt’s gonna get pretty nasty
