"Yes this is Philly, you're welcome to come check us..."
Peedi Crakk - Flip side
The New York Yankees jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the 1st, however the Phillies had more to prove in Game 5.
3-2 Full Count
The fans in South Philly have seen their last home game of the season, and for the City of Brotherly Love, it was one to remember.
There will be a Game 6, as the Fightin' Phils fought off elimination on Monday night...defeating the Yankees 8-6. Cliff Lee took to the mound pitching well enough for the win along with an early 3-run home run by Chase Utley in the 1st, and another shot in the 7th for a total of 5HR's in the World Series.
The series gets a little more interesting as the questions have begun to swirl around who will pitch for both teams if this goes to a 7th and final game. Not too get ahead of myself or the World Series for that matter, but as the venue heads back up the interstate, all the pressure falls on the Yankees to win their 27th title in the new Yankee Stadium.
At this point of the season, the game is simple, as the team with the best pitchers on the mound, win ball games.
I spoke with Chase afterward...
AG: You have a very low-key disposition, but can you talk about how you've been able to lead by example throughout this World Series for your team?
Utley: I don't think we really need to be pointed in the right direction. We all have the same mindset, and we all play the game the right way in my belief. You know, you go out there and you play hard. You give it everything you can, and play that game like it's the last.
