The Yankees were chipping away at the -- chipping away chipping away Johnny Damon gets on. Mark Teixeira is up in the two runners yet not Johnny Damon the first two pitches he saw in the lightening strikes right. Then he got on base of Tim McCarver. Tells us that it is much easier to get to.
Strikes on guys. -- advocate for free I don't know I thought yeah right yeah I I didn't org all of your. Great I know how -- it. -- figured at two strikes on the got edited to get three LU Mikey get to mr. makes economic. This just proves that he not saying okay now. -- If my Phillies can win games off. And they will have no problem winning games that really. He Cole Hamels against CC sabathia in game seven match -- but the key is what this series is there's they win games. -- Yankee Stadium Cole Hamels sabathia yet you like them Philly yet York philly's my Phillies because place will be that the nervousness. Takeover little chill factor yeah the whole -- we're supposed to do that the pressure the pressure will be too much will be overwhelming. Maybe even too overwhelming for captain -- the new captain clutch the new mr. November. Last October at that terror -- it was mr. opium -- are now known now mr. -- is -- hundred.
Yeah mr. clutch. He's the guy right right noisy here at night they really had I don't as. It it it's kind of funny and I don't believe in I don't believe in him down curses. But -- you know I'm I'm sitting in my desk last night and last week's Sports Illustrated to sit on the pilot magazine there and let him. And I'm watching the game and and here -- senator is Ryan Howard. And they're talking about how this is going to be a home run derby you know and in this World Series because he got the it has yankees just not what the guy Ryan how right now at marketshare. Ryan Howard acting as of last night and struck out twelve times in the World Series or hit or strike out even when he's gone all I know but budgets -- these a strikeout machine and he's an artist now to. -- is a mess. And and the -- of what they do have gold forum. Is now you you can end all the debates if there was any. Any discussion you might have had about whom who had the best. Trading deadline pick up -- forget it -- That the ballots are no doubt that the polls are now closed yet you know even though you're not supposed to vote Gerry Callahan. The of the polls are closed Cliff Lee was the best pick up anybody made he has been the man.
Today is Tuesday -- Tuesday. It's too bad today's Tuesday not Thursday not a puppet you know Thursday I have great. Poll question. That -- not even be relevant on Thursday. Because by then we will be talking about game seven. And and -- game seven will be Thursday night based on what you think first well let me just. It does. Be clear about how you stand on the Philadelphia Phillies yet you feel that theirs. A very little chance of them winning rosters idea yeah you think the series is over. With it Pedro Martinez or whoever follows Pedro lose game six yankees yes okay. You think we'll be miraculous. If the Phillies came back. From a 31 deficit in 10 the world yet sure okay absolutely and that's why would be a great question except. We're gonna know the answer to part of the question. Tonight here's my poll question on tomorrow -- a plate what not not all you got a note and I don't know if this is -- and opulence. I thought of this driving it. What is more. Likely to happen. Or does sound like it John Dennis question what is more likely to have multi part John Dennis question. The Philadelphia Phillies comeback. And win the World Series.
War. The honorable. Thomas M and no absolute -- And that's his sister right.
I would say that it's more likely that the Philadelphia Phillies win this series. Because I don't think there's any chance of the other question happening there's no I don't think so not that's now -- Yesterday Austin. -- I know I I I think that I think he is mayor for life. He can be mayor as long as he wants to be mayor. You I don't really I don't think so that he's knocked off tonight -- I'm all 400 I guess he walked up but you -- lost cause I have put it help change this state for lost causes the deaths but no I think it's more likely that the Philadelphia Phillies. When the world why it's more likely focus -- great I know finance for the as we should. I mean we're total locked into Thursday's we have contracts some sponsors and they all that stuff. Not that we have anything against contracts are sponsors and stuff yeah -- world for them.
Well we can do is take their pizza on Thursday. In dropped their roles was that it's actually up bat. Like -- question of the day what is more likely to happen the honorable. Thomas -- Menino. Mayor street Boston compliment you know is is it more likely that he goes down.
Nervous when you say at the way he says that 'cause I get nervous when he says since -- accurate fix because it Erica I. I felt I get nervous that -- about new partners stuff is it more likely that he loses. It's been in place for fifteen years. War. More likely the Yankees. And let's be honest. If not for the the quickness that -- the establishment absolutely of the establishment entities and if it were not for the quickness and strength and agility of our producer. He wouldn't even be here to run for -- got right because big game James did save his life. He was actually trying to save the World Series trophy but at the same time he was saving them yet -- he wouldn't -- on the World Series trophy. Up all the flags would have been hailed in his chant yes absolutely. An ugly Koppel I would -- to find out from management if weaken if we can move the -- a genus balls are about what deal. And it doesn't do any good to do -- on Thursday that I think it's a great question. I can like to do it today too so.
That's our hearts our Election Day special Papa -- question flexible packaging houses flexible to go in there are taken. You wanna pepperoni pizza. They present specials and they present wing yes all of they had wing that got great bread. Vehicle when you change your game plan puppet you know is all about that you say.

I like your I like your like your style McMahon and and we'll will take this to the very highest levels of management. Most -- And find out if this can be done I like it will find out again because I like your like your style what I do like as I said at the top I like Pedro Martinez. Pitching in Yankee Stadium I mean that slow walk off the mound the other night where we speak kind of broke up laughing could somebody -- the sets up until. -- I had the feeling. He was almost thinking you know what this might be the last time I ever do this I'm gonna soak it all in and conduct and guess what last time he's ever gonna -- artists. And not only does he get to do it again -- do it in an even more pressure packed situation. Lose or go home. And and the drama that you're gonna say I assume it's going to be pattern I don't think the Yankees have announced it yet they were -- close -- the best last night but it it's gonna be that it. And and Pedro and Yankee Stadium and it'll be about forty degrees. The weather forecast for tomorrow night is is you know rain will be an issue but it's going to be cold. Johnny game will be -- and it's stupid hat with a year flaps are on and everything.
His latest Leo -- love numbers if if you love baseball you probably do love numbers it's all about the numbers and I you have to fixing go crazy out with the numbers. And I loved that a lot of people. A lot of smart people have devoted their time in their image energy. -- figuring out what kind of story the numbers in baseball so. That's one of bill James's big things up he said you know I'm I'm I'm more fascinated by baseball than any other subject. In the world it's just baseball turns me on candidates are up for him. And I appreciate that. But. For game six. I wanna say to hell with the numbers how the numbers are accurate the numbers say about Pedro Martinez after he throws 100 pitches. I don't care what happened in 2003. Excuse me with Pedro Martinez and Grady Little leaving him in the game. I know. That Pedro Martinez. It's better than any body else they can bring out of that bullpen. The Phillies. Lineup -- can -- match up favorably with the Yankees. Okay rotational lives -- matchup favorably favorably with the Yankees bullpen wise. So all boy great day today really -- so keep. That -- away from Pedro Martinez this is his last start of two.
Thousand and I know what the trouble is even when he was Pedro Martinez the Yankees were so good at working counts and taking him deep in to pitch counts and and and you know I just don't I don't see anyway he blaster more than five or six if he's got it if he can go if he can throw the baseball. 82 miles an hour.
