Ken, there's no place for geographic discrimination on this forum - you can do that some place else, but not here!
Next you'll be wanting to call this place Ken's World Corner and what sense will that make? No wonder you had to rename this place The Play Pen!
Now go back and edit your posts, or I will!

Hang on, you're supposed to talk to me like that and not the other way round. Sorry.

Game 2 of World Series less than an hour away! Phill's are up 1 to 0.

Cliff Lee had the Yanks' number last night. It was depressing, especially when I think that they may face him 3 times in the series. The Yanks' bats were uncharacteristically quiet and the bullpen got hammered. Hats off to Cliff Lee for a great pitching performance. Please don't do it again!

I don't know Arnold, it's Pedro tonight against A.J. SHOULD be another great pitching match-up.

Top of the 2nd and the spanking of the Yanks continues.. This coming from a former native New Yorker..

Hey Arnold, how many players on the Yankee's are actually Native New Yorkers? Any of them? Huh?

Thx Arnold. I fixed the original post. I guess I played one too many tunes and had one too many spicy buffalo wings last night. Or, just wishful thinking.

Game 4 of WS in progress. The Phill's need to win this one. If not, most likely a WS win for the Yank's.

Series score:

Phillies 1
Yankees 2

[Tim Bishop]

Game 4 of WS is over. Great game through the bottom of the 8th., with game tied 4 - 4. However, with two outs in top of the 9th., Yankees come back to win 7 - 4. One more game in Philly and Phill's have to win or it's over.

Series score:

Phillies 1
Yankees 3

Frustrating loss for sure, however, I'll go with the Phill's next game sending it back to NY where Yanks will win it.

[Arnold Schnitzer]

The difference in game 4? A-Rod's bat woke up, Ryan Howard's didn't.

The Yank's pitching woke up too buddy!.. Can't score if you can't hit!

Well, up to that point in the series, A-Rod only had one hit (a home run). I'll agree on this, certainly the high-dollar players weren't getting it done.

I'd say the difference, without question, in game 4 was Johnny Damon. With two quick outs from Lidge at the top of the 9th., Damon ends up working the pitch count and then drives the ball for a hit. He then stole 2nd. bass, and then third (because the Phill's were playing the shift). Without Damon's heads-up at-bat and bass running, who knows what happens in the bottom of the 9th. in game 4?

I'm just sayin'...
