Cliff Lee pitched brilliantly tonight as the Phillies defeated the New York Yankees 6-1 in Game One of the World Series. The only run Lee gave up was unearned, in the ninth inning when Jimmy Rollins made a throwing error that allowed Derek Jeter to score.
The New York media will go into convulsions, blasting the lineup for being unable to hit in clutch situations and the bullpen for allowing the Phillies’ lead to expand. But the Yanks can turn it around quickly with a victory in Game Two. I note that Jeter got the Yankees moving in the ninth inning tonight with a single that fell at the feet of hard-charging Shane Victorino. The Yankee hitters will produce. Count on it.
Besides, I don’t put too much meaning into a Game One victory. In 1982, the Milwaukee Brewers creamed the St. Louis Cardinals 10-0 in Game One, only to lose the series in seven games.
As Lawrence Peter Berra has been known to say, “It ain’t over till it’s over.”

That was a good game to watch last night. Lucky you, being 3 hours behind us on the east coast. At least you were able to get some sleep!
Liked the commentating about CC and Cliff being former teammates in Cleveland! Cliff says that CC is his best friend in baseball.
Let’s see what happens tonight!
