This game will be one for the ages. The New York Yankees will hand the ball over to veteran pitcher Andy Pettitte to see if he can help the Yankees bring home their 27th World Series championship. On the other hand, the Philadelphia Phillies will be looking to Pedro Martinez, the veteran Dominican known for being a master at changing speeds and the location of his pitches. It should be a low scoring pitchers battle all night long.
Yankees Key To Victory-The key part to this baseball game will be the 1-4 hitters in each lineup. The Yankees need Pedro to be scared to pitch to A-Rod and Teixeria. If he can sit those guys down, the Yankees will lose. If they can hit him hard and get some RBIs, the Yankees will win.
Phillies Key To Victory- The Phillies need to jump out to an early lead and hope that Pedro can keep the Yankees to minimal runs. Pedro will also need to keep his cool. If the Yankee faithful can get in his head, this one could be a night to remember for the Yankees.
Start spreadin the news…
The New York Yankees are looking forward to winning their 27th World Series tonight as they try to finish off the Philadelphia Phillies. The Yankees lead the series 3-1 and are starting to lick their chops. However, the road to the 27th will have to go straight through Phillies’ ace, Cliff Lee.
Lee has been red hot throughout the 2009 post-season. He has an era of less than one, in his four starts this post-season. All which have resulted in victories.
The Yankees‘ manager Joe Girardi will turn his team’s fate over to star pitcher AJ Burnett. Burnett has been off and on all year for the Yankees. He is either lights out, or completely awful. In game 2 against the Phillies, he brought his A game and walked away with a victory as he held the Phillies to only 1 run.
It should be a good game. I am predicting the Yankees to win just because of Jimmy Rollins and his prophecy about the Phillies winning in 5. Better luck next year Jimmy! Take a lesson from Jeter and learn how to conduct yourself. Shut your mouth and just play!
Prediction: Yankees 4 Phillies 2
Phillies Starting Pitcher Pedro Martinez
Tonight should be very interesting to say the least.
The New York Yankees host the Philadelphia Phillies in World Series game 2. The game from last night was really not a competition from the moment Cliff Lee took the mound. He was untouchable for the Yankee lineup, minus Derek Jeter who had three hits against the lefty. The Phillies came out with a lot more energy and confidence from what I could tell. It looked like they wanted to be there and it appeared that they wanted to back up the comments of their short stop Jimmy Rollins.
Jimmy Rollins has already predicted a Phillies chamionship. The real kicker is that he came out and said that they will win in 5 games. Talk about being bold! Does someone need to let Rollins know trhey are playing the Yankees? However, if they do walk into Yankee stadium and spank them like red-headed step children and win the series in five, Rollins will be all smiles!
As for tonight, the weather is looking clear with a little bit of wind. Pretty much perfect baseball weather for October in NYC.
Grandfather–Pedro Martinez– will be taking the mound against the hated pinstripe crew this evening. He will face a fiery lineup of the Yankees who looked as though they should have been riding on a bus to and from the games this year instead of a lavish plane of the Steinbrenners.
Unpredictable AJ Burnnett will be on the bump for the Yankees, and that is a scary thought if you are a Yankees fan. You never know who will show up. The good AJ or the bad AJ. If the Yankees can get lucky and the “good” AJ Burnnett takes the hill, they could run away with this game. Especially if old man rivers, from whatever island, doesn’t have his best stuff. He could really find out “who is his daddy” tonight.
Considering all things, I think it should be an exciting game to watch. I feel the Yankees will run away with the game, but who knows. Maybe someone will poor some oil into the joints of Pedro Martinez and he will be in the headlines tomorrow morning.
