World Series Is Going 7

[onthewhat]

1. MLB needs a 7th game bad, $$$$$$$

2. These nitwits not named CC Sabathia cannot go on 3 days rest, Burnett gave up 6 runs in 2 innings and I say Pettite gets rocked too

[pavyracer]

It will go 7 games but has nothing to do with pitchers. Think of revenue from tickets sold as well as TV ad revenue.

[onthewhat]

Right, $$$ was #1 on my list

I think Pettite gets rocked in the process

[odtw524]

Pettite gets rocked... money is made....CC vs Lee in game 7...Phills win the series

[onthewhat]

No way Lee comes back on 2 days rest, lol

No clue who they throw, maybe Happ?

[Deuce]

Phils are cooked, Yankees will close out in game 6 at home.

[RaisyDaisy]

Yanks shut them down game 6. Only Lee can win. No way Petitite loses at home.

[Mikail]

I hope there is a game 7

[moses millsap]

andy always comes thru in the clutch, yanks end it in 6

[R3Sports]

Lee on two days rest?

[pavyracer]

Lee may pitch a couple innings if needed as a reliever.

[Shortstop]

I hope it goes 7, that's one more game for us all to enjoy.

[Chi_archie]

I hope so

[MartinBlank]

New York is going to fry Girardi if they lose game 6.

I understand throwing CC on short rest, he is a friggin horse. But Petite and Burnett aren't the same type of pitcher.

If the Phillies get any kind of pitching from Pedro tomorrow night, they should win.

Game 7, all bets are off.

[ryanjep]

game 6 is going to be pretty interesting, cant wait for it to get here

[SamsNCharge99]

I don't care if it goes 6 or 7, no way Yanks lose this series.

But I don't see it going 7.

Bobby Sandles must be upset at his team

MLB does not need a Game 7 "bad". Rating for the World Series are higher than in years past, MLB is rolling in money (attendance is at an all time high).

A game 7 would be gravy for them but saying they need it bad is just uninformed.

[Housemoney]

MLB and Fox are loving this. They are getting better numbers than they have seen in years.

MLB does need game 7 bad. Their attendance was down 7% from last year with many clubs offering discounted tickets. Popularity among new fans, 18 and under, is dropping faster than Brittney Spears panties. Baseball is lucky to make the top 5 sports among them. Fitch Ratings downgraded MLB's securities to A- this year.

Selig and co are singing "everything is going to be alright", but you know all they want for Christmas is a game 7 finale.

[buztah]

The Bombers almost took it last night (anyone watch the ninth?) even on a half ass lineup (with Lee starting). Pedro is going to get crucified and the Yankees will win convincingly. We LIONS are very heavy on the Yankees in Game 6. They will throw the full lineup (with DH) at the Phils and take yet another ring for the greatest organization in the history of professional sports.

[tblues2005]

I see Yankees winning because there is no other games on Wednesday night either. If they play on Thursday there is plenty of college football on that night. I think the Yankees get the deal done on Wednesday.

solid reasoning

[tblues2005]

thanks fsugolf. That is just what makes sense to me. I think the Yankees want to win with all the attention on them I think.

Game 7 would get 20+ ratings.

Game 4 highest-rated World Series game in 5 years
(AP) – 18 hours ago

NEW YORK — Sunday night's Game 4 was the highest-rated World Series game in five years.

The Yankees' 7-4 win over the Phillies drew a 13.5 fast national rating and 22 share on Fox. That's up 45 percent from last year's Phillies-Rays Game 4.

Fox said Monday it's the best rating for a non-decisive Game 4 since a 13.6/23 for a 12-inning Yankees-Marlins game in 2003. It's also the best rating for any World Series game since 2004 when the Red Sox finished their four-game sweep of the Cardinals to end their 86-year championship drought.

The rating is the percentage of households with televisions tuned to a program. The share is the percentage of homes watching among those with TVs in use at the time.

Lots of people were saying angels would take it to 7 as well. Yanks won 2 of 3 in philly. They did their job. Its done in game 6. End of story.

Housemoney disagrees.

[RaisyDaisy]

This is the second go around at Pedro, philly bullpen will be in play here early and the yanks will tee off. Yanks TT over.
