They have one decent starter. They blew out two teams with sub-par pitching to get to where they are. I really don't see this series going past 5 games. Same result had the Angels been their opponent. The Phillies are not the 2nd best team in baseball. They have one decent starter.

The phillies are an excellent team - far and away the best in the NL, on account of solid pitching and a great lineup, but are they really the second best (or best) in baseball? Put the Red Sox/Tigers/Rays/Angels and maybe even the jays in the NL East, and i'd bet you they end up with a better record. The phils had an abominable bullpen and a very yankees pre-2009 rotation (always one stud at any given time, but rarely more than two guys going strong at any one time). Maybe i'm selling the phils a little short, but i just can't agree with calling the phillies the second best team in baseball when they are sending Pedro Martinez out for game 2. i’m sorry but i really don’t agree with this.

Guzman can't hit for crap, he needs to be subbed for someone who is already on base. Yea dude, we need a big bat off the bench.

His bat is infinitely better than Guzman's and it will be needed with at least two games played in the NL park. There is definitely a need for Hinske.

You're right. I took the lazy approach there. Yankee Stadium and Citizens Bank are homer-friendly parks, and these teams like to homer. YSIII is slightly a pitcher's park in other aspects. Yeah.
