We thought the Yankees would win in five games and things are set up well for that to happen. The Philadelphia Phillies are playing good baseball. It's not like they're getting murdered by their mistakes. The truth is, the Yankees, the best team that money can buy, has its intense depth working for them. C.C. Sabathia has not even won a game but look where the Yanks stand. Almost all of the Yankees first line hitters have pitched in but the real show stopper is their stopper. Get the lead and give it to Mariano Rivera, ball game over... Yankees win, THE Yankees win.
It's not impossible. Philadelphia could win three straight. Look at what the Red Sox did to the Yankees in the championship series just a few years ago. This is a deeper, more balanced Yankees team. For the Phils to win, they must knock out the starter earlier and hope to pound the Yankees' middle relief that has not looked good recently.
For Philadelphia, they've got to win tomorrow. They can do it. then they could take it back to New York. Still, they need three wins, the Yankees need one. Cliff Lee is their magic man who starts for Philadelphia tomorrow night.
Still, it looks like the victory meal is a New York Strip not a Phily cheese steak.
