World Series Game 2: Hello, Pedro. Welcome back to the Bronx.

PrintPhiladelphia Phillies at New York Yankees, Oct 29, 2009 7:57 PM EDT
Let's see...in the last 24 hours, I've:
- Thrown a pen at a Red Sox fan because he said, "I'm loving the way this series is going."
- Told my buddy to go to hell when it came to my attention he bet on the Phillies to win the whole series.
- Took a leave of absence from my best friend/sister for texting me during the game.
- Changed the M and N on my coworker's keyboard because he said, "They lost BAD last night, huh."
And still none of these behavioral monuments to lunacy are as ridiculous as Pedro Martinez saying "Any time I hear that, 'Who's your daddy?' it reminds me that God is my daddy. It gives me strength. It keeps me strong and healthy, and I believe I can do anything."
So, if we consider that it was only 5 years ago that Pedro claimed the Yankees were, in fact, his daddy, by the transitive property, we can infer that Pedro thinks the Yankees are God.
Here we go. Game 2. Not a must-win situation, so I won't call it that. The Phillies send our boy Petey to the mound, who hasn't pitched in the Bronx since his Mets days in 2005. According to him, he's "older and wiser" which should bring his overall net intelligence to around sea level now. A.J. Burnett gets the nod for the Yanks, and I have this weird feeling that our boy is going to stun us (in a good way.)
The Phils are good. But the Yankees are the Yankees. And that's all you need to know going into tonight. Let's get 'em back, NY. This series is ours.

Not for the faint of heart
But I always think of this scene in House of 1000 Corpses when Pedro comes to mind…

This IS a must-win
It’s much different going on the road 1-1 than 0-2…matters big time for confidence that we can beat this guy (we’ll see him again in G6), and it means that if we take 1 of 3 in Philly (I think we’ll take 2), we’ve erased the damage.
Nope
Torre always saw G3s as must-wins to build momentum. It’s a huge psychological edge to walk out of the Stadium. And psychologically, can you think of a team more worrisome than these Yankees (Burnett, Tex, the chance of an A-Rod relapse, Swisher?).

Teams less likely to bounce back
The Angels, the Red Sox, the Twins, Rays, Jays, O’s, M’s, A’s, Rangers, Tigers, Royals, Indians, and the White Sox.
That’s just the AL.

Well said
Down 0-2 & heading to Philly for 3 games is not at all very good odds, and
I’ve been a Yankee fan for 45 years !!
.
The Yankees can do this!
Yesterday was a harsh wake-up call. They have been coasting through the playoffs so far, not doing much more than is necessary outside of a few key players. AJ needs to step up, so does Tex, Hughes, and Joba. They need to want this, not just think they deserve to win, that’s not how it works.
I hope the team is pumped and comes out ready to play.
Burnett
is what’s worrying me about tonight. i know he can be virtually unhittable, but he’s equally unpredictable. he’s a head case and will get wild, so i have no faith in him on the mound.

Probability on Burnett hitting Utley sometime during the game?
My guess is at least 70%, but it won’t be intentional. We can’t put someone on in front of Howard.
Burnett has 5 BB/HBP/WP's in him every night
it’s just a matter of whether they come in clumps.

I wish I shared your optimism on AJ
I have a bad feeling about him. Maybe it’s just residual fear from last night. On the other hand, I’m pretty sure we’re going to score off Pedro, so maybe we’ll win this in a slugfest.

Every make sure they do something Jerry Hairston would do before first pitch.

Pedro Pussiamente
Maybe they’ll be someone around 60 years old that Pedro can beat up on, especially when the Yankees are kicking his ass !
Jeter just won the Roberto Clemente Award.

AJ really needs to step to the plate and show that he deserves his rich contract, or we’re in trouble.

We lost because Lee pitched like the reincarnation of Cy Young. Pedro won’t, nor will Lee again on short rest.

Oh I’m calm. Being a Yankee fan for 45 years has shown me the good times and the frustrating ones. I’m actually enjoying all this hoopla right now. But one thing that I do have a bad @@@@@@@ for is when people attack other people’s comments instead of sticking to the program. Do I make myself clear ? Do that again and I report you.

Maybe not
Andy’s pitching in Game 3 against Hamels, who is terrible (at least this postseason). I feel really good about that game. So even if they lose today, the series is still far from over. 1996 is a perfect example of a series that would have been MORE difficult to come back from down 2-0 in than this one, and they managed to do that.
It’s not time to get worried just yet. Relax a little. I agree it’s a VERY important game. But the series isn’t over if they lose this game.
That being said, I still really want them to beat the shit out of Pedro and win today, because it still IS VERY important. I hate Pedro.
Timing is everything
We got AJ but never bid for Lee. Oh well, AJ please make me believe in you.
Pedro better be in the fetal position behind the mound by the 2nd inning
DO WHAT JERRY HAIRSTON DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ready to own Pedro tonight????
I sure am. Especially after that pitiful performance yesterday. I was at the game, and the stadium just wasn’t in to it. At all. I suppose Cliff friggin Lee had something to do with that.
Still, thinking positively, a win today ties the series with Andy going in game 3. That makes a Yankees fan feel pretty good.
Yanks will own Pedro...

Last night...
I decided to go to a nearby bar and watch the game… I live about 5 minutes outside of Philly… Here were some observations…
1) Yankee fans travel well. I would say the bar was 60:40 Phillies to Yankees fans, not bad considering the proximity to downtown Philly.
2) Philly fans aren’t used to winning. After watching the game quietly in a booth, I left the bar with my hat pulled down low. A, what only could be described as hippo-like man, Phillies fan got in my face, called me an asshole, and pushed me down a half flight of stairs. I would have fought back, if it wasn’t for the fact that 30 large men in Phillies hats were laughing behind him. Classy mo fo’s there.
3) While walking home, I witnessed 17 (yes, seventeen) cars driving by, honking horns, people hanging out the window celebrating like they just killed Hitler.
I hate living in Philly. I hate listening to these bandwagon baseball fans go through life thinking they are better than everyone. I don’t want to spend the next year of my life listening to endless bullshit from people who don’t shower, don’t think, and don’t know anything at baseball. If there is a god in heaven, he will not allow the Yankees to walk out of the Stadium without a win.

If we can't score more than 1 run off Pedro
then does this team actually deserve to win?
Good thing they will score more than one run off Pedro. I would prefer more than 10 runs though.

is the crowd quiet
because everyone is afraid of Pedro?
or is it because the Yankees have scored one run in the last 10+ innings?

low 90s fastballs aren't going to kill us
If he keeps us off-balance and hits his spots, that’s how we’ll get into trouble.

i hate the "Who's Your Daddy?" chants
it reminds me of the 8th inning of Game 7 of the ’04 ALCS when i was cowering in a corner wondering if the world was about to end.

at least
Yankees fans know how to have fun even in the worst of times.
But I hated that. DAMN YOU KEVIN BROWN!!!!!!
are those supposed to be scars on his back? or tattoos?
I supposed I could go see the movie and find out, but I really don’t want to do that.

Cano's doing what Cano does
And Pedro is trying to take advantage.

Am I misremembering Pedro’s presser?
Didn’t Pedro say it was Karim Garcia said something about his mother? (Presumably called him a MoFo?)
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
Who the FK is Karim Garcia?

He charged the mound when Pedro hit him between the shoulder blades in that 2003 game when Pedro and Clemens matched up.

He’s thrown 43 pitched. Small consolation, but this is light years from last night.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
because
the Yankees have forgotten how to hit in the World Series.
I don’t feel like this is going to be like last night though. They’re working deep counts on Pedro. Once they get to the 2nd and 3rd time through the order and they start getting a few breaks, things will start going well.
Girardi's batting 8th now?
