Yankees in 6

There, I said it.
We’ll win game 1, naturally. Philly will fight back and win game 2. We’ll roll into Philly and take game 3 then CCs game 4 start will be another masterpiece. 3-1 Yanks. Philly will salvage game 5, forcing the trip back to New York. Pettitte will pitch another clutch game and we’ll take this thing at home.
I was dead on the mark for us needing 3 and 6 to win the ALDS and CS. No reason to think I’ll be wrong here.

Philly has a good looking infield with Rollins, Howard and Utley…but we’ve got Jeter, Tex and A Rod…AND Cano. Phillies have a more sound looking outfield though, Ill give them that.

Both Starting rotations look clutch. Lee-Hamels can go toe to toe with Sabathia-Pettitte, though anyone against CC is a lost cause for Philly.

What puts the overall advantage in New York is the bullpen. Philly can match us everywhere but in the pen. In fact, Philly has had one of the worst bullpens in the postseason, while tha Yankees have had the best. If the Yankees can outlast Hamels and Lee and work into that pen, the series will be ours!

Burnett aint half bad either, much better than any other Phillies pitcher.
…and dont start about the return of Pedro Martinez. Dont forget who your daddies are, Pedro…I hope you end up having to pitch in New York just so the crowd can chant “Who’s your daddy?”

…….Brad Lidge or Mariano Rivera? HA! Dont make me laugh. Anyone with half a brain cell would pick Mo.

When 2 powerhouses like the Yanks and Phills collide, it all comes down to who has the better bullpen, and the Yankees clearly win on that front, and thus, should be favored to win #27 this year.

Game 1 in a couple days…
