One of the greatest pitching performances ever.
LOL btw @ whoever said Yankee fans don't respect Pedro. Pretty sure every baseball fan loves him.

Methinks that wouldn't go to 7 games

Ugh. The point is, that for all the proclamations of "R BETTER TEAM DAN URS" it means nothing if it's not predictive of results, which if CANT BE over a playoff series that's, at the most, seven games long.
But way to pull random percentages out of your ass, using, as support the statistics that don't predict future anything.
And every single Yankee fan (ok, hyperbole, but a big handful) can't grasp the concept that being "better" doesn't matter because it doesn't mean anything. Except, on paper, of course, which, of course, is where all games are won and lost, LDO.
Pretty much. I'm saying, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHICH TEAM IS 'BETTER'!
ERICLINDROOSSSSSSS
If it doesn't matter let's make some bets, heck I might even be generous and give you better than even money!
It's funny how much Philly fans are sucking off Cliff Lee, you guys do realize that the Phillies are going to be a relatively significant dog this series each game he pitches, right?
