[phightin]

It's probably going to be hyped to have the potential of being the best series in a long time, and im sure the mlb is loving it for their tv ratings. Hard to say who has the upperhand but I would give the phillies the slight edge as they have the better line-up, and have looked more impressive thus far throughout the post season. Although im sure the yankees will be favored. The phillies bullpen problems have been, besides lidge, largely overblown throughout the playoffs. Sure they had a lot of injuries and no set order for most of the season but they have most of their guys back now and they're all experienced pros. Besides one game in LA they and Lidge have been great throughout and should be able to match the yankees pen. Although, lidge's performance is still key and rivera is obviously the safe bet. It's all going to come down to the starting pitching though as it usually does. The phils have the most dominant man in baseball right now while the yankees have the better overall rotation. Granted Sabitha's history against the phillies is pretty ugly. If Hamels can at least pitch decently then it changes things but Sabitha, Burnett, Petite are going to be better then Hamels, Pedro, Blanton/Happ. Should be fun.
