Lee, Utley Lead Phillies Past Yankees, 6-1

[dagodfada22]

Phillies can lick the fromunda cheese out from undr my nuts. 10,000+ losses in team history is just an embarressment. Yankees do what they do best. Win!

[critter505]

Lotta good that win did 'em. YANKEES OWN THE PHILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mysteryscience3000]

@critter505 maybe so, but Cliff Lee pwns the Yanks!

[critter505]

@mysteryscience3000 uhhhh, no.

[Pupon97]

ryan howard didn't do nothing in this world series phillies and chase utley all the way

[suckmydickgurl]

damn ryan howard has da biggest nose ive ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[independentview1]

"Cliff Lee, ESPN Radio, asked if he plans to test free agency.

"That's where every player wants to be, so honestly, the closer I get to that point, the more likelihood I'm going to be testing free agency,"

"That's where EVERY player wants to be."

Why would Cliff Lee want to be a free agent. He's going to make $9 mil. next year with the Phillies.

Oh, right. He thinks he is worth more than that. What arrogance. Actually wanting to be paid what you are worth.

[serrribral]

(Cont') That's what makes the Yanks so special. They want to be the best and go all out to be. The Yanks got the return they were looking for on their investments and much more. That's all.

[itzahazylife]

no..not any other team could have spent a half billion on 3 players without trading or sacraficing minor leauge players..you're clueless. the yankees have a winning culture because of their fortune, which was built in the past, which gets them the best of the best. which gets them wins, which gives them a winning culture..it's a snowball effect that started back in the past..back in the day NYC was the THE place in entertainment..the city and population constructed their empire.

[serrribral]

Wow, so now the Yanks are "bad" for using saved millions from years past to keep a winning product out there for fans in the '00s? lol You're reaching, dude.

Can you look into your crystal ball and tell me when the city will start showering the Jets, too, with some cash, so that they can win a title?

Are you even from NY????

I suggest you do more research on the city and team, and how business is done in today's MLB, because your "facts" are off, big-time.

[serrribral]

I suspect you had bet your house or life savings on the Philthies winning in five (like that clown Jimmy Rollins swore they would) and now don't have two nickels to rub together. Did you cry this "walmart of baseball" garbage with the Red Sox when they won the WS in '04 and '07 too? NY is all about making money, and sometimes it takes money to make money.

[itzahazylife]

yankee success doesn't directly come from the passion of winning. it comes from having ability to put together a powerhouse team at a whim, that can power their way to championships..that creates the passion for winning, but it all starts with them having an empire. their money is the foundation of their success..it's like any big business. the rich get richer, the poor ger poorer. there's no balance in baseball..no slary cap. wealth shouldn't be an advantage in sports..it isn't in any others.

[serrribral]

There's no right or wrong way to build a title-contender, my friend. Some teams gamble and/or rely heavily on farm leagues annually for winning records, while others like the Yanks go out and put together rosters with a nice blend of old and young talent to compete with. It's all on the organization as to what they want to do in this uncapped league.

[hornymanonfire]

cry more u fucking homo, u lost .

[mzrestless]

fuck tha yankees they are soo fucking hollywood it's ridiculous. PHILLIES BABY ALL IN MY BLOOD!!!

[hornymanonfire]

u lost, fuck u, i hate all of philly and for us to win it all and just laugh in ur face makes it even better.

[rw5791]

the phils wore the letters HK on their jerseys to remember the great slugger harmon killebrew.

[eaglesphilsphan]

@rw5791 No actually it was in honor of longtime broadcaster Harry Kalas who passed away in the booth earlier that year in April. RIP Harry.

[independentview1]

The Yankees have money because they actually have fans that pay to go to the games, buy Yankee products and watch the games on TV.

There is nothing stopping any other team from going out and earning more money and using that to pay players.

Twins-Phillies, Angels-Cardinals, Dodgers/Red Sox. any combination = low ratings and four days after the series ended nobody would remember or care who was even in it.

[serrribral]

Excellent post. People are acting like we went out and forced players like Teixeira and Sabathia to sign with us. THEY were the ones that chose to come over and be a part of our winning culture. All the Yanks did was make big investments in the offseason that paid off for them in the end, big-time. All these haters need to STFU and bow down to the king! lol

[itzahazylife]

they chose to come over because of their wining culture hahahahaha...it's not like a half billion dollars between the 3 of them had anything to do with it..baseball has no salary cap..the yankees and their fortunes have taken advantage of this for decades..spending insane money to get the best of the best..it's the same old story..true baseball fans are getting bored with it all..really though..no anger or bitterness..just bored and tired..it's excessive and ridiculous.

[serrribral]

"It's excessive and ridiculous" only to fans that root for losing franchises, or mid-level teams that stay taking a passive rather than aggressive approach to the draft/free agency in the offseason. They spent nearly half a bil' on Teixeira, Sabathia, and Burnett. So what? Others teams could've done the same. In the end, it was the money AND winning culture that got the Yanks those studs. If people want to hate, hate on those three players for making what was already a good ballcub even better.

[itzahazylife]

NYC back in the day was the epicenter of entertainment..their fortunes came to them via their location which bought them the best of the best..their past built the legacy the fans are paying to currently celebrate. it's the old snowball effect..the yankees have greatly taken advantage of the absence of the salary cap in baseball..go ahead an root for the yankees. the walmart of baseball..

[independentview1]

The Yankees owner George Steinbrenner is worth about $1.3 Billion.

The Minnesota Twins owner Carl Pohlad was worth about $3.7 Billion when he died earlier this year.

The Twins owner could buy and sell Steinbrenner almost three times over.

The difference is Steinbrenner uses his money to pay good players to come to the Yankees while Pohlad put his money in his own pocket.

[itzahazylife]

the yankees are fortunate to have steinbrenner pay for good players..but, your point makes my point. endless money shouldn't construct teams..even if the twins owner payed for great players, that shouldn't be how it works. there should be a salary cap..there should be a balance..the phillies raised their team from the farm leagues and made key trades which finally payed off..the yankees just get the best of the best year in and year out and naturally they are gonna get consistent championships..

[ksinghmd]

Finally someone that knows his baseball!

[buttermore11]

@independentview1 Yeah but what you don't understand is that the Yankees bring in probably $3.7 Billion of revenue a year while the Twins probably bring in about $400 million or so in revenue. Pohlad was a business man, he would have been losing money if he put it into the Twins without getting a ROI. Thats the difference you don't see my friend. The Twins have had a lot of success without having a huge payroll and growing a lot of talent in the farm system.

[independentview1]

@buttermore11

If any team can have success by bringing guys up through their farm teams, good for them. Yankee players come up through their farm teams just as any other teams.

Neither the Yankees or any other team should be punished because the city they play in has more people than another teams city.

If absolute parody is what we want then the Rockies should be forced to move their stadium because it's easier to hit a home run at high altitudes.

[PHILLIEZownEVERY1]

@independentview1 FUCK YOU AND FUCK THE YANKEES! THE YANKEES PAID BUD SELIG FOR ALL 27 OF THEIR CHAMPIONSHIPS! THEY HAVE NO TALENT ITS BEEN PROVEN, THE PHILLIES ARE THE TRUE BEST TEAM BABYYYYYYYYYYY SO FUCK THE YANKEES BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYY LETS GO PHIGHTIN PHILS!!!

[supersnakeforlife]

coston sucks philly sucks ... WORLD CHAMPS YANKEES!!!

[serrribral]

Jimmy Rollins must feel like a jackass right now. Philthies in 5? How about Yanks in 6? lol World Champs, sucker! lol

[WWH7]

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh, Yankees won, woooooo.

[beastking55]

WHO CARES YANKEES SUCK

[MinnesotaTwinsFan94]

Suk it YANKEES!!!!!

YOu LOSE!!

[serrribral]

World Champs, sucker! lol

[hornymanonfire]

we did? i think u did, go give joe mauer a blow job u fucking queer we raped u.

[hecscrilla1]

chase utley is a beast but my yankees will become the 2009 mlb championsAj burnett probably give up 4 runs today in the first inning butt guarantee pettite will shut ya shut ya down again in game 6 if not fuck it arod is goin to smack 2 hrs off pedro game 6 hahahahahah

[MinnesotaTwinsFan94]

Blah blah blah. Shut-up Yankee dorks. You guys have NO chance against Cliff Lee! He already whooped your butts! AND he did it in New York!! Imagine what he can do in his home city!! You guys stand NO chance.

[prettycrystal23]

phillies are sore losers....i mean come on...they won the first game but the yankees came on top & won three games in a rown, hopefully a fourth to make them the worl champions again!!..phillies have no chance

[Lumbergfucther]

Philly is a dirty place and the fans there are trash.. I went to see the Mets and had to punch a guy in the mouth cause he was bothering my 6 year old son.. If my kid wasn't there I would of fought a few more..

[JDBlessin]

So what you're saying is that you got raped in front of your son by a large black man? Does it disturb you that you enjoyed it?

[captainkill1]

all of those phillies are arogant pricks. Chase Utley with that fucking slick hair thinks he's tough shit. It's like he wears his testicles in his mouth. Pedro said he was the best ever to enter yankee stadium? I understand why people hate the yankees they don't win that much any more. They may have 26 championships but only 6 thusfar since 1977. Though it does look like they are going to make that 7 this year.

[tauckymushroom2]

Look if i wasnt a yankees fan, i would hate them, i understand, you either hate them or love them, hjust shows some fucking respect to a good team, even if there was a salary cap, they still would be nasty, they would just give reeally big signing bonuses if so and so hits .300 for example. Which is perfetcly legal. And yes part of the reason is because they are in the biggest and best city. But who the fuck wants to go to philly, and get shot or attacked by those crazy ass fucking fans

[kissmaiasssss]

Yankees is too superior for dummies Phillies. Big brother New York knows how to kick little Brother Phillies' ass. Listen why Charlie Manuel, the old skunk likes to keep useless pitcher, Cole Hammel!!! And also, it's a huge surprise for Yankees that last night on game 4, Charlie Manuel had asked white boar, Joe Blanton to pitch, instead of Cliff Lee. My point is this is so obvious that this year belongs to Yankees for the winner World Series!!!!

[00tonytone]

Rollins predicted Phillies in 5, the yanks are up 3-1, It looks like he's going to have to change that prediction to 7, or is he just going to say, THE YANKEES WIN the yankees are world champions for the 27th time in history. As a fan im conflicted weather its sweeter to win clincher in philly or in the boogie down BRONX. I dont think philly fans will take it that hard, at least they got spanked by the WORLD CHAMPIONS. ROllins must of thought the yankees are the METS

[itzahazylife]

rooting for the yankees is like rooting for walmart to intrude on small business. they have all the money in the world for the best of the best because of their fortune. it's a very lame and annoying thiing to see people still rooting for this team. there are so many other cities deserving of playoff spots and playoff wins, but because there isn't a salary cap, they simply can't get the depth they need. u yankee fans are fuckin clowns..go phillies. watch them come back.

[ksinghmd]

I'm waiting to see it happen...haha LETS GO YANKEES!!!

[tauckymushroom2]

they have fucking money because they have won 26 world sereis all the fuckng money they have made they are going to obviously spend it you numb nuts, i cant stand you philly fans your alla bunch of assholes, who think they have so much "heart". yea a team that has FINALLY started to made it the world series is going to have heart, after our 40th year were like dead after all that cheering, but seriously you guys are full of yourslefs and IDK what eelse to say its over???

[itzahazylife]

they have money because during the yankees rise they were simply from new york. their fortune is due to their location. the organization has played in the epicenter of entertainment their entire existence. they never had a problem with attendence and selling their merchandise for much more than anywhere else. that got them rich, which got them the best of the best, which got them championships..and frankly everyone is sick of them. they are like walmart in small towns.

[lumpagogo]

hazy = right. MLB needs a salary cap. NYY are nihilistic: must win ever pennant, every WS, regardless of how insane it would be. Tore down the "House That Ruth Built" to put up a box with no roof. Try to imagine NYY winning 10 WS in a row--it could easily happen: "Joe Buck + Tim McCarver here for the 2018 WS--we're so excited to be back in Yankee Stadium..."

[NYFAN718]

phillies suck, Yanks up 2-1 gonna be 3-1 after nite!

[moisttheking]

fuck the phillies they suck dickkkkkkkkkkkkk.....

[Baptisttt]

YANKEES suck

[00tonytone]

Yankees suck, U must not know to much about baseball. 26 world championships, and 1 game to make it 27. Dont know what your standards are for sucking. if sucking means winning lots of championships then i would say yeah, the yankees suck the life out of opponents. If not for Utley this series would of been like them games that have mercy rule. As DURAN once said " NO MAS". Yanks are just to potent and know how to win, down 3 runs in 5th inning at philly and then they did there thing. 2009 champs

[Baptisttt]

Thats different back in the day that was baseball today yankees are entertainers like to show off. We will see!!!!!!!!

[mzrestless]

PHILLIES BABY!!! All in my blood!!!! btw i cant stand tha yankees!!

[itzahazylife]

fuck the yankees..how can anyone be a fan of a team going for their 40th world series when there have been 105 world series played?..all because there is no salary cap and they have more money than god. i dunno about anyone else, but i'm about sick of the yankees and their money stealing away championships from the other teams in baseball..it's getting really old, i'll tell ya..

[FCnewyorkESC]

Its the only team with the passion to do what it takes to be known as the best... and by the way, there must be at least 4 other team owners that are worth more than Steinbrenner.Those guys are too greedy to spend their $ and lack the passion to do what it takes to win. Your not mad at the yankees. youre jealous..there's a difference.

[itzahazylife]

why do u think so many people want the salary cap?..just for the hell of it?..it's because the yankees have had a fortune practically their entire existence. that fortune gets them all the talent they desire which gets them players who are damn good. you're right i'm not mad at the yankees. and i'm not jealous. i'm tired of them. as are many others.

[ItsToddsShow]

Philadelphia Freedom!

[jacobmorell]

for me i want the Phillies to win the world sires cuze i hate the Yankess but im not a Philles fan for me i like the Angels and the Dodgers

[BearsStillRule]

i hope the phillies shit down the yankees throats in the next three...thats about the best sweep money could buy...against the yanks..lets go Philly

[Fallingdown232]

Don't celebrate yet Phillie Phans. We still got 3 more to go.

[MinnesotaTwinsFan94]

[steve51865]

zelone - They didn't choke. Lee was just too good. The Yankees never had a chance. Choking requires that you have an easy chance and blow it because of the pressure.

[mzrestless]

Thats right Phillies Baby!!!!!!
