Phillies take Game 1, with a completely dominating performance from Cliff Lee. Complete game, near shut-out, 10 strikeouts (9 swinging) and no walks. Chase Utley put the Phils up 2-0 with two solo home runs off C C Sabathia, and the Yankees were never in the game.
Pedro Martinez starts for the Phils tomorrow night, to throw his first post-season pitches at Yankee Stadium since game 7 of the 2004 ALCS when the Sox trounced the Yanks on my birthday. I can hear the “Who’s Your Daddy” chants already, but I have to believe that Pedro will be pumped and ready to go. I like the Phillies chances against A. J. Burnett, and can see them heading back to Philadelphia up 2-0.
Let’s go Phils !
