Game 5 Preview

Yankees lead series 3-1

A-Rod came up big in his biggest game as a Yankee, hitting a go-ahead double in the top of the ninth of off Phillies closer burden Brad Lidge, after Johnny Damon made a heads-up play in stealing third base after it was not being covered. This puts the Phillies in a huge hole, but they have to be somewhat confident with the way Cliff Lee pitched in game 1. Yankees will send AJ Burnett off of three days’ rest to win them their 27th World Series.

Prediction:

This is actually a win-win situation for Yankee fans. If the Yanks win, obviously that’s a win, but if they lose, they get to see the most influential person in their home stadium for a second time in ONE SERIES!! What an honor!

PHILLIES 4, YANKEES 3.
