Keys To Win Game 6...

Walk Chase Utley

that is all

Pettitte pitching the clincher of the World Series against Pedro Martinez?

Oh...this is destiny.

Yankees will work Pedro so bad he'll have 100+ pitches by the end of the 5th inning. Then it's decision time for Charlie.

I don't know who Pettitte should worry about more...Chase or Werth.

its werth.....cc is utleys bitch

Burnett and Coke are also Utley's bitches apparently.

Oh yea...another key would be...have the lead after 7 inning for the Yankees. Then the Game is OVER.

If the Phils are going to win Game 6:

At the point in the game when Pedro hands the ball to the pen (likely 5th-7th inn), the Phils will need to have a multiple run lead in order to hold off the eventual Yankee rally.  Maybe not as much as 6 like last night, but Pedro can't leave the game tied or behind.

Or

Pedro and Pettitte are both knocked out of the game early and it's a battle of the pens by the 3rd or 4th inning.  Then anything can happen in what likely would be a slugfest.

Keep in mind though that Pettitte's Post season history on 3 days rest is something like 3-1 and a 2.80 era.  (Can't remember exactly, read it on the way to work).

Although anything is possible, if I'm the Phillies, it's a 7 inning game tomorrow.  I imagine Mariano will pitch both the 8th and 9th if the Yankees are ahead.  That's not the situation the Phillies want to find themselves in.

Just a little more minutiae for my fellow gamblers; Joe West is umpiring:

The LAST 5 games he's ump'd w/either Pettite or Martinez on the mound: Away team 5-0; Overs 5-0.

Imagine that.
