Andy Pettitte started, Mariano Rivera finished and the Yankees are going to their first World Series since 2003 after beating the Angels, 5-2, in Game 6 of the ALCS.
Game 1 of the World Series will be on Wednesday night at the Stadium, with the last two Cy Young winners facing each other: CC Sabathia for the Yankees and Cliff Lee for the Phillies.
First comes the bubbly. Keep it right here for all the reaction from the Champagne celebration and plenty more.
UPDATE, 12:51 a.m.: From 30 feet outside the clubhouse, the smell was already overwhelming. This made the Division Series celebration seem like a 4-year-old’s birthday party. You know those fountains outside the Bellagio? It was like that.
“This is what it’s all about, man,” Pettitte said. “We made a commitment at the beginning of spring training about the team, and putting everybody else’s selfish things aside and just focus on the team, and we knew this would happen.”
Alex Rodriguez: “It’s been a long time coming, that’s for sure. It just feels good to contribute and play well and help the team win.”
THEY DID IT!
Who is this midget interviewing Derek??
Have some respect you scumbag.
WE’RE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!!!!!!
CONGRATS TEAM!!!
4 more wins until #27! Celebrate tonight, a new war starts tomorrow (or Wed)!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
jeter’s reaction to the beginning of that interview was priceless
World Series! #40th pennant! Here comes #27th championship! Go Yankees!
repost:
Most wins in ST.
Most wins in the Regular Season.
Most wins in the Playoffs?
I would like to take the opportunity to say GO YANKEES ALL THE WAY…..
Is there a post game on YES tonight?
Haven’t posted all night ….. we were doing well without me
WOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Anaheim is not the happiest place on Earth.
That was awesome seeing Mo & Posada hug. Been through a lot together
CC and Alex, co-MVPs, gotta happen…
PHILLIES ARE GOING DOWN
How perfect is it that Andy started and Mo closed out the clinching game?
great image with arod + jeter + tex running to each other and embracing behind the mound…
repost
64 = number of Mariano Rivera saves for Andy Pettitte wins
You have to love it!
Derek is choked up! Great game! Go Yankees!!!!!!!!!!
I love you, New York Yankees! We’re goin’ to the World Series, folks! Can you believe this? OMG! My week, my month, my year, is 20 billion times better because of this! OMG! YES!
Here we go! Let’s keep the bats hot and the starting pitching hotter. #27 here we come.
I was wrong
And I am thrilled
In the stadium now
Wow
Cc in game one
jeter just owned ken rosen squirrel
YES has no postgame?
espn news says CC is the ALCS mvp..
Scoscia’s Demons Exorcised! Whatcha gonna say now Torii Hunter? A-Rod gets to the series! Melky gets to the series! Cano gets to the series! Joba gets to the series! Hughes gets to the series!
What an emotionally draining, vindicating, enthralling, entertaining, emotional, spectular season, series, and game!
Nothing in sports is better than seeing that man wearing #42 walking to home plate, pumping his fist.
All the talk of choke, all my fears, all my worries are gone! Now on to Philadelphia for what should be a fantastic world series!
The Jeter Fist Pump is Back! Go Yankees Go! What a season! What a team!
No post game on yes?????????
Im soo excited for everyone. for Alex especially!
They HAVE TO MENTION 2004
Patrick–yes, there’s supposed to be. I have that on now. It’s some show with Bernie but their supposed to have the postgame on soon.
gotta wait a little bit for yes postgame.
Where is CASHMAN
It’s 5.10am here in Holland but this is totally worth staying up!
SMH at that little FOX dude, btw.
what is the url of the mlb.com press conference?
Excellent timing guys. Now I can go pick up the kids from school here on a sunny Melbourne Monday afternoon.
Extra innings would have pushed me into a real moral dilemma there.
Great for Lonn Trost to be there!
nice
Hal Steinbrenner has great hair.
my favorite post-clinching moment: watching Girardi hug, and then hop up and down with them all post-hug. Fun moment.
The clubhouse is LOUD!
I can’t even describe how happy I am right now !
I’m not sure I’ll be able to sleep tonight!
hal needs a new hair cut.
that one went out with leave it to beaver.
how about a girardi buzz cut?
I just sprayed champagne in my face!! WOO!!
Ugh Bloomberg. WHY? Where’s Cashman?
Hal looking like Clark Kent
Bruney just got fired…
Very nice indeed!
nick swisher spraying champagne on hal..
)
That scene of Mo and Po hugging was sooo moving; it’s been a long, hard road back to the WS…..for them and for Andy and Jeter. That will be what I remember most from this – that hug. It was a nice celebration, joyous but not over the top; this team knows they still have work to do and another series to win. The Phillies are going to be tough – the Yanks will need to score more to beat them. **Fox did a nice job just letting the images speak for themselves.
Congrats to the 2009 Yankees.
Why are they not pouring some liquid on Girardi as he’s being interviewed??
It sounds like they are going crazy back there!
Oh, CC won!
“espn news says CC is the ALCS mvp..”
Can’t argue with that.
Without CC this series goes 7.
Grats CC!!!!
YES can’t come on until FOX is done…CC MVP MVP MVP!
I want to know who just sprayed Hal with champagne. He did NOT look happy.
CC!!!!!!!!
Bruney us suck a jackass. Just sprayed champagne in Hal.
… nice work, CC. Way to carry your team, kid.
Big Poppa
CC MVP
“No kidding, stop with the mid-season football talk.
It’s the freaking Yanks on the verge of clinching the pennant.
Why anybody would be flipping back the that game is beyond.
TIVO that crap!”
—————————————
You’re right, but I can’t help it. I love my Giants football, & my Yankee baseball.
I hope Alex doesn’t feel slighted, but CC deserved that one.
It’s a real shame that Girardi was so outmanaged by Sciosca….ooops….my mistake.
Yay Yankees!!!!!!!!!!
Haha CC winning the MVP is a joke
That should be going to A-rod, no doubt about it. He hit .429 with a 1.519 OPS, they couldn’t get him out.
Wow. I really thought there would be co-MVPs. I’m not sure how you can overlook what Alex has done in this series. If they combined LDS & LCS it would have to have been Al.
Congrats CC!
Hal got sprayed with the bubbly. What-No pie???!!!
Bloomberg get out of there.
What’s he hanging around for??
Bloomberg getting that face time
16 post season wins for Andy. Just awesome.
I so happy for arod….this is for everybody that said that he would never go to the world series. take that.
bruney is going to be working the lunchline. he got the look of death from hal.
Bruney says what do I care – I was left off the roster, I’m spraying this guy with the cool hair.
Yes! The Boys are back!
i think Alex should have been co-mvp
THE RALLY MONKEY IS DEAD!!!!
KATE HUDSON >>> THE RALLY MONKEY
How come Ryan Howard won the MVP and Cliff Lee went 2-0?
And Alex didn’t?
LOL what a joke?? arods the mvp of this series and this team!! MLB is a joke!!!!
Uh, didn’t Pettitte pitch in 7 WS?
1996
1998
1999
2000
2001
2003
2005
wohooooooohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Where’s Cash?
Hinske will have to be on the roster…we need some pop in the pitchers spot…Bruney is going nowhere he sucks!
24 great teammates??
Arod totally slams those left off the ALCS roster.
All things in their place…
Autumn belongs to Alex…
Pennants to Pinstripes!
The rally monkey just tapped out.
4 more wins to go!!
Okay kids, here it is. Feel free to check my math.
http://members.cox.net/lsdorgan/CLS.pdf
I will start taking world series predictions tomorrow.
WOO HOO!!!
Fox just cut to commercial during the a rod interview. Typical for New Orleans tv always cutting out when it matters
“THE RALLY MONKEY IS DEAD!!!!
KATE HUDSON >>> THE RALLY MONKEY”
Our mascot is legitimately in movies (albeit crappy ones). Not some fancy video editing garbage.
I don’t know who that interviewer was, but he was awful. Just awful. Couldn’t be more bored.
Just switched to YES.
Happy for CC but Alex was feared this postseason and deserved it.
YankeesJTJ
October 26th, 2009 at 12:16 am
Where’s Cash?
- Cash right now is selling Adrolis on being the new $60 million reliever…
I love how Jeter called out Rosenthal for going straight to a negative..ha….GO YANKEES!!!!!!!!!!!! What a great year, now 4 more to go!!!!
This just means Alex will win the World Series MVP
Arod didn’t get MVP…. hmmm… did Pete have a vote?
Alex should have been co-MVP with CC……..
CC v Cliff Lee WS Game 1 ….. wonder how they’re feeling in Cleveland. Yikes.
valerie, if you get a chance could you drop me an email? My email address is yankeetrisha@verizon.net.
Thanks!
Dynasty, is been said by a few people tonight – let me add my kudos to theirs. Great job with the haiku.
RS-
If memory serves, AP was in Houston 2004-06. Missed most of the post dynasty dark years.
WE’RE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Sorry, still jumping up and down)
I’m so happy for Marianio. That 27th out is so hard to get in a clinching game, and for him to get 6 outs and slam the door like that. wow. it couldnt happen to a better guy.
YES postgame is on now
OK COMPROMISE, CC IS THE MVP
BUT AL KILLED THE RALLY MONKEY.
Is the snub of Rodriguez not being co-MVP a blow-by product of the steroid issue from the voters? I’d think that it had something to do with it.
Mets fans are crying now. They don’t know who to root for.
Nick in SF
October 26th, 2009 at 12:16 am
24 great teammates??
Arod
totally slams those left off the ALCS roster.
—–
Cmon Nick thats silly, what is he supposed to do say the 40 man roster? 25 is the active number and I’m sure he means everyone.
Pete Abe, what a bummer for him…
Autry knights our Ace…
CC is our MVP…
Uncork the Champagne!!!!!

It’s a real shame that Girardi was so outmanaged by Sciosca….ooops….my mistake.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO You arrogant little **** Scioscia.
Alex should’ve gotten a Co-MVP
Where is CASHMAN?
—————————————————–
Cahsman was escorting Aroldis Chapman around during tonight’s game.
Our boys brought the Pennant home!!! God bless the Yankees!!!!!
Jorge’s son. God bless him. Glad to see he is healthy
I have FOX on still, but I am DVRing YES
Alex,
The world series MVP is better than the american league championship series MVP.
Woohoo. I am surprised that CC got the MVP over Arod. But cares right now…
Was that Gene Autry’s wife?
Aw, look at the kids
I’m a little stunned that A-Rod didn’t get at least co-MVP…
I wonder who that other kid was with Posada and Jorge Jr.
“If memory serves, AP was in Houston 2004-06. Missed most of the post dynasty dark years.”
Yes, but he was on the Astros when they went to the WS in 2005.
I’m pretty sure this year will be his eighth time pitching in the WS, which is just insane. That’s more than half the years in his career.
YANKEES WIN!! THHHHHEEEEE YAAAANKEEESS WIIN!
Awesome!
and yeah Alex should have been co-MVP.
Andy is my MVP.
Anyone see GYAOS???????????????
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
I mean, lol
Sarcasm radar, YankeeRay.
FO SHIZZLE!!!!!
Now some great words from Abreu. “I want the Yankees next,” he said. “Been waiting all year.”
YANKEES WIN, THUUUUUUU YANKEES WINNNN!!!!!
GreenBeret7 October 26th, 2009 at 12:19 am

You’re probably right. But he really deserved recognition the the series he had.
trisha–can’t download it
Andy pitched his heart out tonight.
Well Abreu you got the Yanks….
Erica – always OPPC

I take that back. No
The core four have made it back. Alex and CC have have exorcised their demons. Great game, great series.
YEAH BABY YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4 MORE WINS TO GO & WERE CHAMPIONS!!!!!!
Yesssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!! God, the elation!!! So happy
**for** the series he had.
good win
“Was that Gene Autry’s wife?”
yes. Tough for her. Hubby used to own the Angels.
But she is a classy lady.
Scioscia, why dont you tell us how much you paid the umpires.
ANDY PETTITE, what a man, what a legend. Living Legend.
Cheated on 3 pitches in that inning with 2nd and 3rd 2 outs and Morales at the plate. And a comebacker that he knocks down. Biggest play of the game. Andy Pettitte.
2 check swings for strike 3 that are called balls…..an extra 10 pitches.
Andy fighting through the umpires screwjobs…..PRICELESS
What does big mouth Tori have to say now??!! Yeah what, shut your mouth. Now get back on your plane to Cali.

Wikipedia confused me. I knew Gene Autry had owned the Angels. I thought that was her! That must have been a little awkward
THE CURSE OF PETEABE HAS BEEN LIFTED!!!! LET’S GO YANKEES!!!!
I’m not the biggest A Rod fan, but it’s crazy that he’s not the MVP. CC dominated two games, A Rod dominated the series.
Maybe A Rod’s time will come in the World Series. I hope so.
Hey ALL….
I am still jumping up and down and so excited that we are going to the WORLD SERIES!
I did not get to post anything today because my family and I were out to dinner in Jersey and all of my cousins and I were decked out in Yankee’s gear @ the restaurant (people kept giving us looks…LOL) I kept sneaking to the bar with my cousin’s kids in tow to check what was going on and afterwards listening to Sterling on the ride home. Made it for the 7th inning on and it was glorious. Thank God for DVR’s so I can catch what I missed!
WE ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!!! Bring on the Phillies.
Val, email me and I will send a copy to you.
And after 6 long years, we reclaim out rightful place at the top of the American League. How sweet it is.
Props to Joe G. for pulling Andy at exactly the right time, calling the right number with Joba, sparing us the mix and match nonsense, and going to Mo for 2. (He really looked cooked in that 2nd inning, huh?) Props to Swish for learning how to bunt. And props to Andy, most of all, for turning back the years. Imagine if he’d been on the mound in ’04.
Enjoy it Yankee fans. Yanks in 5.
Valerie G
You should be able to copy it
“Was that Gene Autry’s wife?”
well, it wasn’t his horse, champion.
Erica was there a shower tonight?
Ugghh now McCarver will be rooting hard for his former team all through the Ws and Buck is a NL guy as well.
The key to this series, as I see it right now, is TOTALLY controlling Figgins (.130) and Abreu (.160) in front of Hunter and Vlad who hit (.304 and .370) respectively. It was amazing how many times Hunter was up with 2 outs an no one on. Keeping them off base preventing the “track show” that people expected. What did they have, 4 SB’s?
Sciocia is a nice guy. Very respectable man.
67 hours and 34 minutes until Game 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Oh yes, the new countdown is ON)
I really, really, really want to go to my first ever World Series game!!!!
trisha–thanks, but email you where?
CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posada hit 2 DP?!
so, who’s gonna hit behind A-Rod in WS?
Some thoughts:
(1) To Boston. Your closer is good, but a mere boy compared to what you just saw. Get back to us 10 years from now if Papelbon or Bard even come close to that.
(2) To Angels. You played well, but the Yankees were better. Now we all know why the Rayz let Kazmir walk. Now you’re stuck with his $10 million contract next year having to sign Lackey, Figgins et al. Ouch, but that’s for another time.
(3) To us fans. It’s been a long cold 6 years in the wilderness after the 2004 loss, and even longer after the 2001 loss. This feels good, and erasing the Angels to do it feels good–maybe the Angels have the Yankees number will now end.
(4) To the Lohud blog. Guys, watch the trends on the field. This team is really good. Yes, we get mad at occasional things, but starting pitching dominates, and Cashman (where was he tonight) has given us fans a great rotation. That being said, we need to calm down the bridge jumping.
(5) Am I allowed to say this? Was that Jennifer Steinbrenner at the awards ceremony? She may be one of the best looking owners in sports.

Thanks for reminding me of this, Thomo.
Since when have we called them the “core four”?! Joe Buck kept saying that tonight as if everyone’s been saying this for years, but this is the first I’ve heard of it.
But what do you expect from the team that thinks Cano is a “great RBI man”?
Thank you Erica – always OPPC for the countdown….This is one I am looking forward to without anxiousness!
World Series count down! woohooo!!
GTWSLU…. lol
“Ugghh now McCarver will be rooting hard for his former team all through the Ws and Buck is a NL guy as well.”
They’ll both be rooting for whatever team is not named the Yankees. They’re both as anti-Yankees as it gets.
Is Cashmoney in the building?
Yankees. “Fight to get it back again”
Sorry, I gotta say it – Jetes looks gorgeous soaked in champagne.
How funny was that? Asst GM Jean Afterman getting Derek with the champagne!!
(5) Am I allowed to say this? Was that Jennifer Steinbrenner at the awards ceremony? She may be one of the best looking owners in sports.

Jennifer Steinbrenner is the blonde with the big eyes. I have no idea how to describe her, but good looking is not one way. Maybe handsome.
Not sure who the brunette girl was
Jean Afterman got Jeter.
Lots of redemption so far this postseason….
Angels beat Boston
Yankees beat Angels
Alex hit
CC pitched
So happy for all of them.
Jean Aferman just hit Jete with some champagne.
That’s fantastic.
Who’s that old lady that doused Jeter? While he was being interviewed by Kim…
Go get’em Erica

Your welcome!!!
Cashman was talking care of Aroldis Chapman!
World Series Guess the Line Up-
Wednesday at 3!!! Woohoo!
Wow, the Yankees have some pretty sweet goggles.
Jetes looks beautiful any time. Him and Jaromir Jagr are the 2 most gorgeous men alive!! I wish Jaromir were here.
Erica…that is Hal’s wife
Angels got over the Red Sox, Yankees got over the Angels. Sweet…
Jennifer Steinbrenner looks like she is lost in the 60′s-70′s.
Wow this team has been amazing all year. From day one everyone doubted us. Said all the egos would clash, we would be back in 3rd, A-Rod was done, CC, Tex and AJ wouldn’t make it, etc, but this team has prevailed! So proud of the whole organization, and from here on out it’s straight to the top! Number 27 here we come!
“I wonder who that other kid was with Posada and Jorge Jr.”
Maybe his nephew?
I am so pumped right now!!! Sabathia vs Lee on Wednesday. Should be a great game to watch.
Not sure when his contract ends, but Darren Oliver has made himself some serious money this year.
congrats to the Angels. Those thunder sticks and rally monkeys were not easy to deal with, but the Yanks did it!
I’m glad there was no game 7!
Have a safe trip back to the left coast….
Is Hank locked in a closet? lol
It’s like one gigantic family. Yankees = Family
Where everyone is welcome (except Curt Schilling)
lil CC!
The brunette was Hal’s wife?
Where is Cashman? Doesn’t the GM usually celebrate winning the pennant? Total silence on this at YES. A personal issue?

If Sabathia can neutralize Lee in the Phillies series I like the Yankees chances very much.

She was there and appeared on camera briefly, but I’m not sure she’s who you noticed as she wasn’t front and center. She’s blonde, but there was a brunette who was in the center and was introduced I believe as “Christina Steinbrenner”. Anyone have any idea who she is?
Donohue with goggles…too funny
I’m just smiling right now. Feels nice to be back in the WS.
All that angst people had about Petite starting vs CC and Angels “momentum” and Girardi’s calls. I knew we were clinching in 6.
Petite, always underrated. Always.
Gonna be a tough WS but plan on enjoying it.
Erica–that’s ok. maybe there’s some other high-ranking yankee guy you can marry…or a player…?
Cashman is giving Aroldis Chapman a tour of the trophy room.
Amen, Eric. Turning Figgins into Timo Perez was the key to the series. Was anyone really surprised to see Abreu come up small, although I think he actually made contact with the wall twice in 6 games.
The Sciosia/genius myth has been officially debunked. How he goes to a fidgety Kazmir over a cool Weaver (who was great in relief the other night) I’ll never know, but thanks Super Dave.
100 pitches of fun…
Is Hank locked in a closet? lol
He had more important things to do tonight
WE’RE GOIN TO DA SERIES!!!!! 27 HERE WE COME!!!!
It was great to see Swisher come out tonight and play a really good game on both sides of the ball. It can’t do anything but help him relax and feel like he was a big contributor. Same with Robinson Cano.
A-Rod, Atlas shucks…
The weight of the world off his back…
World Series awaits!
“Is Hank locked in a closet? lol”
The Yankees sent him on a scouting expedition to find the elusive Sid Finch. He’s been gone for 18 months….
NEWS4 NY is cracking me up, they were giving reciting highlights of the game and the video was the team doing kareokees and stretches.:lol:
congrats to the great fans who post on this website … on to the world series
and this beer thats been on ice since game 4 of 04 tastes great
Joe G looks like he has a black eye?
Hal got married in April 2009.
Did everyone see Bruney spray Hal with champagne? It was when they were giving him the trophy. Pretty stupid and he didn’t look happy at all.
McGuire to be Cards hitting coach? How silly is that?

—
Nick right in the middle of the decisive rally. Best case scenario. He does not do too much, just a single, but helps us win with that huge single. That means only more is yet to come from Swishy.
And then Hal said “Who was Brian Bruney?”
Loved CC, but ARod was the ALCS MVP. The steroid issue is still lingering, and will affect the newsguys who vote on these things, like the former creator of this blog.
IMO…if the Yankees play the way they have all year, Philly will have a tough time.
hey Trisha–thanks, but i’m having trouble figuring out all the email stuff (i know it sounds easy, but for some reason there’s a whole list of stuff to input???). Maybe you can post it here? Either way, thanks!

” She’s blonde, but there was a brunette who was in the center and was introduced I believe as “Christina Steinbrenner”. Anyone have any idea who she is?”
So THAT’s what happened to Hank!

Mike Bloomberg is a great mayor but he’s a known Red Sox fan, get off the stage!!!!
Did you see that fake smile he had on the stage.
Mo is talking about the pool hall outing!
Nick…Hal looked at him and Bruney went from having to call a doctor after 4 hours…to not having to call a doctor.
Defense was great
did anyone notice that Joe Girardi has braces? hah it gave me a smile.
Group hug to everyone. Enjoy!!!
I think CC got the MVP because he pitched on 3 days rest. But I definitely thought that it was Arod. It was definitely because of Arod’s off the field issues, too bad.
http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/te.....getty-%3A1
“McGuire to be Cards hitting coach? How silly is that?”
What’s he going to tell the guys? “Hit it over the wall.”? Should be very interesting.
Love the News Channel 12 guy who lost interest as Mo was speaking
Thanks for the kudos, rb!

“Hal got married in April 2009?
He just got divorced last year. She must have been on the side.
************************
A buddy of mine has casually dated her after the divorce.
Sterling’s first interview was with David Robertson. Apparently Guzman was busy.
there is no truth to the rumor that kazmir is related to one of the two pilots that overshot the runway by 150 miles the other day.
Too bad George wasn’t there. It was nice of that woman to mention him though. But I hope he comes for the WS.
When did Joe get braces? He looks like a 15 year old out on his first date.
i just got off the floor while in shock over the non arod mvp…
“How weird is it that the Yankees haven’t won a WS under a Republican President since 1958?”
The Sox haven’t won a WS under a Democratic President since 1918.
Hal said on the radio interview with Waldman that the Boss would be at WS game 1.
Chew on this:
Phillies have a weak BP, Cliff Lee, Pedro Martinez who has made some deal with the devil, and nobody else who is performing pitching-wise.
Yankees BAA against Cliff Lee .286. OPS .846. ARod and Tex have an OPS in excess of 1.150.
Looking forward to this.
bye folks!
Joe looked like B. Stiller in “Something about Mary”
NICE ORTHODONTICS SKIPPER!!
should have been co mvp’s arod and cc.
Kim Jones earning her keep with tha Mo interview
Bye Valerie G!

Pettitte clinched the division, the ALDS and the ALCS. Awesome.

That is awesome.
2 things – First, I’m looking at the Mets fans comments on Facebook – I really do feel bad for them.
Second, is anyone going to buy WS gear? Or is that premature?
Dynasty, you’re very welcome. It’s a pleasure to read your work.
Yankees beat Scoscia at fundamental baLl,he just admitted it on TV.
Yankees last met the Phillies in a World Series in 1950.They swept the series,and McCarver was 9yrs old.
Yankees favored in 6 again!! Vegas love’s the Yankees.
No Vin, McGuire will say, “stick this in your a** and you will hit like a champ.”

In the Daily News, they called her the city’s new mascot. LOL

I have to get up at 6 in the AM, so I have to get to bed.
Congratulations, everybody.
There’s nothing more to say.
Let’s go Yankees!

Yanks are going to dominate the phils! can’t wait for Wednesday!
THIS IS AWESOME!!!
Swish too funny in the celebration (clubhouse)
To excited to sleep and I don’t care.
Joe G. got braces midseason. I think it was in “solidarity” with one of his kids.
If he continues to have a ridiculous postseason and we win the ring, I’m watching every one of Kate’s movies.
Yankees BAA against Cliff Lee .286. OPS .846. ARod and Tex have an OPS in excess of 1.150.
——————–
The Yanks will really have to score runs to beat the Phillies. The bats need to wake up for the WS.

Just found a Times piece from March 2007 that mentions Christina as Hal’s wife. Maybe they were dating and the Times accidentally called her his wife? Wouldn’t be the first time the Times screwed up.
Swisher is just classic! I know he had a crappy series but there isn’t anyone who enjoys himself more (or anyone harder on him than himself).
S.A. I feel the same way. Can’t stop smiling.

RALLY MONKEY’S TIME OF DEATH: 12 AM MIDNIGHT
Wow, great stat about Andy
This is going to be a brutal series……I don’t see how anyone can underestimate the Phillies as a product of a bad league. They are anything but that……. the Yankees lineup is going to have to be more consistent, esp. as Alex will not be getting anything to hit. Right now, the pen consists of Mo and maybe Robertson (though he’s hardly lockdown) as reliable go-to guys. Joba is iffy and Phil is the same…..
this is what a trisha impostor might have wrote.

Thanks for the laugh. I really have no idea though. I could be wrong, I just assumed if you play in the season you get a ring. Guys like Pena, Bruney etc.
hey Ghost don’t forget Berroa!
Haven’t seen anyone mention ARod’s blast off Lidge during the regular season. He already Nathan-ized him.
oops sorry for the copy paste twice snafu…I guess it it’s my excitement!
100 pitches, it’s quite possible that Sabathia and Lee could also pitch the last game of the season against each other as well. How weird would that be?
Congrats to all the regulars here. It’s been a long time coming.

They were just talking about Teixeira’s defense on Yes. If you think about it Tex made some great plays in the LDS that could very well have been game changers. It is, in part, thanks to his glove that the Yankees are going to the WS.

Phillies wanted the Angels!
Erica…that is true, but I would be supprised if there were three catchers.
.130
.160
.167
Those were the series batting averages of the guys I predicted would be the key to winning this series.
Figgins
Abreu
Morales
Having 2/3 of the rotation be left-handed really helped.

2009 is going to be a very special season for the NY Yankees & their faithful
I just think with the NL and double switches, having the third catcher kind of handcuffs you at times.
Wonder if Andy’s incentive-laden deal included cash for a pennant-clinching gem?
Scary to think how close we came to letting him get away.

He really did. He’s been amazing – and overlooked in the national coverage. MKay said he didn’t think the Yankees would be where they are with Giambi playing first and I’d have to agree. He more than made up for his lack of production at the plate with his play in the field.
