PrintSadly, the Dodgers aren't playing tonight, but baseball goes on.
The last two American League Cy Young Award winners, both with the Indians, will face off tonight in Game 1 of the World Series, as C.C. Sabathia of the Yankees battles Cliff Lee of the Phillies. Ed Price of AOL Sports tells us this is the second World Series Game 1 match-up of two Cy Young winners, joining Orel Hershiser and Tom Glavine battling in 1995.
The winner of Game 1 has won 19 of the last 22 World Series, and 64 of 104 overall.

i blame this mess on the tribe

and for not accepting the dodgers superior offer for cliff lee…bleh

The Indians have been lousy for most of the time(except 2007) but people still think it’s a well run organization
"If you go to ciphering we are whipped beforehand."
except for trading lee and sabbathia

the McCourt soap opera getting uglier by the day
Jamie McCourt wants roughly $500,000 dollars a month in spousal support
access to dodger games, parking, suites, private jets, flowers delivered daily and other ridiculous demands…

You answered a question with a question?

Gracias
Someone asked at work but I wanted to be sure before answering since I’m supposed to be the “baseball” guy.

I don't hate the Phillies
But I’ll feel a little better about them beating the Dodgers if they don’t win the WS, for some reason
this is convincing me we shoulda gone after Lee more...

This will gain signifigance if the Phillies can maintain the lead and win the game.

Lee is shutting em down
if he gets tired…the bullpen could give the yanks some hope.

Utley’s is the 47th time a player has hit 2 or more HR in a World Series game.
http://bbref.com/pi/shareit/bUBNM
He is the 40th player to do so
by Eric Stephen on Oct 28, 2009 6:53 PM PDT up reply actions
The players to do it more than once
4 times – Babe Ruth
2 times – Mickey Mantle, Duke Snider, Lou Gehrig, and Willie Mays Aikens!!!
by Eric Stephen on Oct 28, 2009 6:55 PM PDT up reply actions
and Aikens was the only one to do it twice in the same Series (1980)
by Eric Stephen on Oct 28, 2009 6:59 PM PDT up reply actions
Thanks, a lot of fun looking at those names.
Good memories of some of the players and good times too, don’t remember seeing Patsy though.
by 68elcamino427 on Oct 28, 2009 6:59 PM PDT up reply actions
One of Patsy Dougherty’s HR was an inside the park job, too!

Teams with a player with a 2-HR game are 40-6 in those games

Utley in 27 World Series PA
(through the AB of his 2nd HR tonight)

4 of his 5 hits are HR!

This is one of differences between Dodgers fans and Tigers fans that I find fascinating
Your fallback sport appears to be basketball. Over at BYB, it’s hockey (Baseball is the only sport I watch, so I’m out of luck).

Whitey Ford allowed no runs in 18 innings in the 1960 Series.

On Cliff Lee's nonchalant catch of the popup
“That had to draw smiles from every teammate, except the ones on the field.”
-James Timothy McCarver
I have no idea what he meant there. But that is not unusual.
by Eric Stephen on Oct 28, 2009 7:06 PM PDT up reply actions
Hi, guys
Mind if I join you? It looks like some of you are rooting for the Yankees (or, at least, rooting against the Phillies). Everyone at BYB seems to be rooting for the Phillies, and, well, I have very little love for the Phils.
im pulling for the yanquis
When I look at Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of the romantics... -The Great Bill Walton
anyone see Damon's popup?
Lee just stood square on the mound and caught it…haha

Brad Lidge

he will get demolished.
When I look at Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of the romantics... -The Great Bill Walton
not good.
unless they get to the bullpen.
When I look at Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of the romantics... -The Great Bill Walton
Yeah, he looks pretty comfy. You know he’s gotta be amped out of his mind.

Well I was thinking a home run
but a lucky hit with two runners in scoring position sums up their luck as well.
Bleh.

Yankees fans packing in the new stadium, so excited before the start of the game, no wishing … praying their team can come back against these Phillies.
Yeah, as a Dodger fan on hiatus, I know the feeling well.
by 68elcamino427 on Oct 28, 2009 7:53 PM PDT up reply actions
pretty much
they also burned the yanks on the walks too
When I look at Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of the romantics... -The Great Bill Walton
Lee stop being so good...
jeez
When I look at Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of the romantics... -The Great Bill Walton
The Phillies dominating the Yankees at home
It’s like when you’re a kid, and you come home from the soccer tournament, and mom’s like, how’d you do, and you say you won a few games, but then you lost, but it’s okay cause the other team was like three years older and you played them real tough.
Look at that, he hit the f*cking bull! Guy gets a free steak!
Come on, Yankees...
Lee’s pretty good, but you CAN score runs off him. The Tigers’ offense didn’t exactly light the world on fire, and they still beat Cliff Lee three times.
this season?
When I look at Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of the romantics... -The Great Bill Walton
Yes
Granted, the final scores of those games were 3-1, 1-0, and 5-1 (He got outpitched twice by Verlander and once by Jackson).
Sorry for taking so long to reply. I’m here, at BYB, and at Pinstripe Alley (though I can’t comment there yet cuz there’s a waiting period).
by SabreRoseTiger on Oct 28, 2009 8:11 PM PDT up reply actions
lol
he got .667 runs support per game///
like in the NLCS...

When I look at Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of the romantics... -The Great Bill Walton
Now I'm really pissed
The Phills are hitting like the Dodgers. Hopefully we can pay them back and start taking their 3 run home runs next year.
phillies blowing this open.
When I look at Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of the romantics... -The Great Bill Walton
The Phillies are so damn good ... I'm begining to like them.
And I detested them.
Hey, Jamie … need a ride?
Lee
0ER 4H 8K 0BB
very identical to his last performance in game 3

Like Julio said, the guy is not human tonight. What a performance.
Let’s see how he handles the 9th

he is definitely not human

ahahaha victorino
When I look at Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of the romantics... -The Great Bill Walton
me thinks so
When I look at Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of the romantics... -The Great Bill Walton
Maybe he was afraid that Damon was going to try to jump over him a la Dexter Fowler
(I’m sorry, but that is still one of the most hilarious images of the postseason).

6-1
another awful throw to 1st

Complete game … 10 K … no walks … 1 run (in the ninth).

THE YANKEES
lost this game before it even started because they didn’t trade for Cliff Lee at the trading deadline, giving up barely anything at all!! they obviously didn’t really want to win….

On the radio it was said that
Only one other LH hitter had hit two HRs in the same WS game off the same LHP (Utley hit two off CC). The other LH hitter was some guy named Ruth.
