Cliff Lee dominates the Colorado lineup in a "Colorado-like" hitter friendly ballpark. This is what the Yankees would like to get out of CC Sabathia. Phillies avoid a Brad Lidge sighting. So that's the formula, shut down the opponent, score enough runs, and Lidge won't be needed to come in and melt down. Now up CC Sabathia vs a fairly blase' Twins lineup (without Morneau). Let's see if he can live up to the hype in the playoffs. A-rod already 0-1 with a man in scoring position. And it begins. Again.
Anybody see the Holliday dropped ball on what would have been the 3rd out and a 1-1 series with the Dodgers? I missed it. I turned it back and couldn't believe that Franklin blew the save. I went to MLB.com and saw the error. I feel bad for him, he's one of the main reasons I had the Cardinals pegged to make it to the WS coming into the playoffs.
