Game Notes

Yankees beat up on the Phillies in an 8-5 win to take a 2-1 lead in their series (How does MLB ever survive a season when the Yankees don't win/buy another championship?... Oh yes, they win it on the field... with the players their Uber-payroll buys.)

$5.5-mil 'bargain' Andy Pettitte leads the way in this one pitching a sort of solid 6 innings, and contributing an RBI-single that ties the game at 3-3. New York started its rally when $33-mil Alex Roidriguez clanks a 2-run HR off a camera, causing the 1st replay review in Series history, also scoring $20.6-mil Mark Teixeira on the play.

The Yankees take the lead on $13-mil. Johnny Damon's 2-run double that scores Pettitte and $21.6-mil Derek Jeter. $5.4-mil pauper Nick Swisher extends the lead to 6-3 with a solo HR. After the Phillies cut the lead to 6-4, $13.1-mil Jorge Posada and $13-mil Hideki Matsui provide insurance runs.

Yankees - Pettitte
