They could have gotten Trevor Hoffman or someone for the 7th or 8th inning.

I agree with the not getting Sabathia point though.

Look at his production, he's been terrific. He was never a power pitcher.
Thanks for clarifying you aren't a Mets fan BTW.

Re: Yankees VS Phillies Official WS Thread
I don't think this game could have gone any better for the Phillies.
They had the longer layoff after the NLCS and came back and played a sharp game.
They hit the Yankees bullpen pretty hard, and scored 4 runs against it. The Yankees used a lot of their relief pitchers, so if that continues they will burn out their bullpen further into the series. And Utley and Howard got to see the lefty relievers that will be used against them basically for free tonight. The more looks they get at them the better for them.
This has to be a big confidence booster for the Phillies, even if the Yankees score here in the bottom of the ninth.
