The Yankees will end it tonight. They just wanted to be on their home turf.

I think I'll start my own drinking game for postseason games at Yankee Stadium, and here is the only rule:

--Fox shows a shot of that smirking cocksucker Rudy Giuliani sitting in the front row wearing a suit and his dumbass "FD PD" baseball cap for the 5th time in the game: Throw your beer through the TV screen.

Even if I didn't already hate the Yankees, I'd be rooting for them to lose if only to wipe the smirk off of that douchebag's face.

If the Yankees win, then then World Series is over, so that's a good thing.

If the Phillies win, then the series is NOT over, but there's a chance that the Yankees will lose tomorrow and thus the entire series, so THAT'S a good thing.

Hmmm. Tough choice. I'll go with option 2. I can hack baseball being on the screen for an extra day.

The key to the Phillies having a chance is if Martinez's stuff is on tonite and he gets pulled after the 5th no matter what.

MacG: Drinking game: every time Buck or McCarver says something stupid, take a drink. The upside is that if your team loses, it won't matter because you'll be dead long before the end of the game.

Jesus, everyone watching would pass out before they even sing the national anthem.

Happy Carl Sagan Day! Smoke a joint and watch some Cosmos!

Oh and go:

MorningBreath: The Yankees will end it tonight. They just wanted to be on their home turf.

The memo from the front office is "seven games."

If the Phils' collapse they can't stop it, but expect the calls to go the Phils' way.

You really think Charlie will pull him if his stuff is good? No, he'll pull a Grady Little just like he did last time.

We believe in you, Andy. Make the faithful proud.

Go Phils.

It's 29 minutes from first pitch and I'm still sober. I'm sensing a problem here.

Utley is a beast. The Yanks would be best off just walking him each time. No matter, I don't see Phily winning two more in a row.

This...

Wise_Guy: A-Rod will deliver. (new window)

...and that

Man... I'm disappointed.

I think the bullpens are going to decide this one.

If nothing else, it should be interesting to see if they go to lidge again.

I'm still recovering from the flu...feeling pretty good, but I'm not drinking.

My prediction: Pettitte will pitch an excellent game--as usual in these situations--and Pedro will step up and put up a gutsy performance for 5 innings or more. But maybe not quite gutsy enough--either that or the Phillies' bullpen will give up a few crucial hits, including one longball. Final score: 4-2 Yankees.

I hate the farking Yankees, so I really hope I'm wrong.

Anarchangel: I have no emotional investment in either team. However, the Phillies beat the Dodgers. As a Giants fan, I am obligated to temporarily allow for Shane Victorino's existence and root for Philadelphia.

Yep, I'm in exactly the same spot. But as a bonus, I hate the Yanks, I would be rooting for any team--other than the Dodgers--against the Yankees.
