The Dodger Choke rubbed off on them.

will someone please explain to me why there was no third baseman at third when dude stole two bases? i don't know the first thing about baseball.

They shifted the infield, so it would be stacked on the right side since Teixeira was batting left. The 3rd basemen was actually covering second, with the SS and 2nd playing the infield deep between 1st and 2nd.

thanks, barcode.

so shouldn't the responsibility have fallen to the pitcher (assuming he's closest at that point) to cover third?

just a complete mental lapse on the infield.

it will be tough, but the Phillies can still pull it off.

it wouldnt be the first time the yankees suffered a devastating comeback.

I want to see the Phillies hand it to the Yanks. However, the yanks are on fire.

i don't feel very optimistic on it all, but would love another world sereis win.
they have a great chance with Cliff Lee pitchin tonight.
Cole Hamels is a pussy and needs to be quiet.
Lidge needs to be scrubbing jock straps.

I don't think the Phillies can pull off 2 wins at Yankee stadium, maybe go 4-3, but winning the series seems like a real long shot.
