A.J. Burnett was just awful tonight giving up 6 runs. Not much to say on a short night for him.
Cliff Lee was effective. He was just like C.C. Sabathia in game 4 where he was effective not dominanting to put his team in position to win the game. Although Lee did give up 5 runs.
Phil Coke 7th inning home runs killed the Yankees because they got 6 runs, but Coke home runs to give the Phillies 6 to 8 runs hurt alot. Phil Coke continue the trend of infectiveness in postseason. Simple thing he had to do is get outs because they were down big already.
Phil Hughes nice outing, but not sure if that will give the Yankees trust to use him with the Yankees having the lead.
Phillies has confidence, but being that they almost blew the game away certainly changed it from lots of confidence to a little confidence. Bullpen is still struggling for Phillies.
Back to the Bronx where the Yankees can clinch at home with Andy Pettite going against Pedro Martinez. I predict the Yankees will the series 6 games before the World Series started. They did their job in evening the series at home, take back home field on the road, steal a game on the road.
I think the Yankees will win it 6 games because I think Pedro Martinez may struggle a little. Andy Pettite is great at clinching the series and he'll have the opportunity to do so.
No Need To Panic Yankee Fans. Yankees still up 3-2. LETS GO YANKEES!!! BACK TO THE BRONX!!!
