Do your crazy tribal dance or whatever it is you do out in the California mountains. And make sure it's a full blown rain out, and not a delay.

A well rested Lee for game 7 will give us the best chance to win this. Don't let us down!

No rain delay equals

CC pitching full game on 3 days rest vs. Lee pitching 2-3 innings on 2 days rest.

Rain delay equals

CC pitching full game on 4 days rest vs. Lee pitching full game on 3 days rest.

I'll take my chances with a better rested Cliff Lee vs Sabathia on any type of rest vs the other options...

No rain ppn. Our pitching status is in better shape than NY's. They want to go on short rest, then let's go. We didn't gamble our staff. (I mean the Phils)

I disagree with utmost respect. I think Lee's arm might be getting tired. He is over 270 innings pitched and was clearly laboring although pitched great. I would rather take my chances on CC on 3 days rest over a 10 day period then having to hope Lee can pitch on 3 days rest against a fully rested CC.

The last thing the Phillies need is a rainout.

I think the Yanks are more scared of Lee than we are of Sabathia.

You have to get to Lee. I don't want Pettite and Sabathia to get the rest. sorry, a day off is still not 4 days rest for Lee.

krukster

I don't want any alibis, bring it on!!
The fire is hot, there's horses to shoe, and I don't have time to fool around. I want two games and of course we win. We've carried the Yankees about as far as we can without calling the entire World Series a sham. It's going 7 games so everyone makes the most money.

Oh hum, another World Series, that's two in a row, Next challenge??

A rain delay after game 6 gives us a chance to put out our best against their best.

TV wins, baseball wins, and hopefull we win!

Cart before the horse discussion here. But, I say let em play on the day scheduled. Definitely want the NY pitchers on short rest. Last night was proof of the result. Phils need to win with offense - not rely on the arms as much.

Fans can afford to look forward. The players better be concentrating on game 6 like it's the Super Bowl.

NO rain...I'll take CC on three days rest and Lee on two days rest any day compared to CC on four days rest and Lee on three days rest. CC on three days = better chance of him lasting longer in the game.

The options are Blanton on short rest, Hamels on regular 4 days rest or Happ on 27 days rest. If a Game 7 does indeed happen, everyone except Pedro should be available.

I like Lee on 3 days rest best. I love Hamels but there's too much drama going on with him right now.
