11.03.09 PHILLIES STAY ALIVE, WIN GAME 5
After Phillies pitcher Cliff Lee was held out from pitching on three days’ rest, he found himself behind the 8-ball in a game that his team had to win to continue the series. Lee answered the call, giving up only two runs over seven innings before loading the bases and getting yanked in the eighth as the Phillies won 8-6 and live to play another day as the World Series returns to Yankee Stadium.
Lee went 3-0 with a 0.54 ERA in his first four starts this postseason, which was the lowest ERA of any pitcher in a single postseason with 30 or more innings. He had allowed just two earned runs in 33 1/3 innings. He had allowed just 20 hits and three walks and had struck out 30. Opponents had hit just .171 against him. –MLB.com
Chase Utley also brought his whoopin’ stick, mashing his fourth and fifth homers of the series, which ties the record that Reggie Jackson set in 1977. Game 6 is Thursday, and the Phillies need to win two straight at Yankee Stadium to prevail. So if you had “Yankees in six,” good job.

Lee let up 5 runs, all earned.
The grease in Utley’s hair must be the steroid-laden semen of Barry Bonds. That is the only logical explanation for him tying Reggie Jackson for most WS home runs.
The white stuff on Lee’s hat is clearly Frank Reynolds’ semen.
/I wish that that pineapple chopper Victorino would get hit on the fingers every day.
How does Lee get the MVP from Fox in that game and not Utley?
Well that ones simple Tomahawk. Joe Buck and Tim McCarver are both fucking retards.
This is about to be the best moment of my life…
Game 6 is Wednesday not Thursday…
Sorry but just figured you know people may want to watch the game. Wow was that satisfying.
I think it has less to do with Utley and more to do with the fact that he’s hit fastballs down the middle of the plate and a hanging slider. The fault goes towards Yanks pitching rather than Utley and his cum soaked hair dew. I didn’t expect the Yanks to beat Lee last night…now the Phillies are our of pitching for the rest of the series. 27 here we come.
It’s to bad Posada had to miss the NY Marathon, he could’ve walked til his hearts content.
He and Andy should have to hold hands everytime they whisper their gay plans for each other through their gloves.
Posada: I want to feel you Andy baby…deep inside me.
Pettitte: Not now Whorehey, I’m pitching. You can catch my sweaty balls with your mouth after I give up 6 runs.
Posada: But everytime I squat behind the plate it reminds me of the winter we spent in Cabo.
It goes on like this for 5 more trips to the mound…that inning.
