Live Blogging World Series Game 2

7:30- Jay-Z and Alicia Keys perform a song I never heard of.... Alecia Keys is a really"big" star. The camera showed her from behind, for a second, I thought David Wells was back in the Stadium..... (That's a terrible joke, because she is very is very talented.... but it seems like Aretha is her idol in more ways than one.)



7:50- John Legend performs an OK National Anthem.... Think any Yankee fans will look for his plaque in Monument Park? I mean, he is a legend....



8:02- What is that thing around Burnett's neck? It looks like something you use to chain your bike to a pole......



8:05- Damon catches the third out and tosses the ball underhanded into the stands. Its about as far as he can throw....



8:10- Pedro strikes out as the tape recorded version of 200 year old Bob Shepard would say, " Shortstop No. 2 Derek Jeter, No. 2"



8:12- Pedro is Picasso and strikes out Damon.....



8:14- Text message: Teixeira pops up......



8:25- Ibanez (which is Spanish for "Yankee Killer") get a two out bloop double....



8:27- Matt Stairs took time out from his beer league softball game to stroke a single to left. Did Ibanez score? Damon is playing left, remember.....? 1-0 Philly...



8:33- McCarver says the crowd is very quiet... typical Yankee fans.....



8:36- Pedro gets A-Roid window shopping on a gorgeous breaking ball.... A-Roid is 0-for the Series.... Pressure is mounting ..... Yankee fans will turn on him soon if he doesn't break out....



8:42- Ibanez finds his inner-Swoboda and makes an awesome diving catch.....



8:45-Camera catches Mayor Rudy with his goofy Yankee/NYPD/FDNY hat... I hope some squegee guys delays his ride home.....



8:49- top of the third, Philly 1-0.... Think Joe Buck will invite Artie Lange into the booth....?



8:52- Rollins walks....and is taking a BIG lead......



8:56 Buck just said Victorino is a cliff diver, and has dived from 60 feet.... if he don't start hitting, he will turn Philly bettors into cliff jumpers.....



9:00 Molina digs a ball out of the dirt that would have popped up and hit Posada in the face....



9:05- Howard strikes out, leaving two stranded..... perhaps Obama can nationalize Howard as a windmill....?



9:08 Molina is up..... are there more Molina brothers in baseball or Wayans brothers on bad TV shows...?



9:09- Molina walks which is a shame because he couldn't get a hit if they put the ball on a tee....



9:15 - Jeter strikes out.... again...... Picasso has all his paints at his disposal....



9:21- lead off single for Werth.... time to put up a crooked number....



9:23- Molina earns his cash by picking Werth-less out at first.... Posada probably cursed when he saw that.....



9:24 Matt Stairs put down the 40 oz. long enough to fly out......



9:28-Teixeria goes yard..... tie score 1-1



9:29- A-Roid flys out and remains hitless for the Series....



9:31- Matsui walks..... Pedro got to bear down....



9:33- Cano for 5 (get it) in the Series as he pops up.....



9:34 Hairston caught lookin..... strikeout # 5 for Pedro



9: 41- Ruiz one out double to left.... maybe Damon should kick the ball back into the infield.... it may be faster.....



9:43- Joe Buck said a ball that almost hit Rollins was "just inside"... maybe he should borrow Joe Paterno's glasses....



9:45- Ruiz left stranded....



9:48- Melky Mantle whiffs....



9:51- two out double for Jeter



9:52- Damon pops up....... still tied 1-1 end of 5th



10:01- Philles go 1-2-3



10:02- I find these commercials with Chris Farley very creepy....



10:03- Yanks have the heart of the lineup coming up.....



10:05- Texiera strikes out VIVA PEDRO!!



10: 08- A-Fraud strikes out again..... He has the same number of hits as I do in the Series....



10:10- Matsui hits a cheapy home run in this shoebox of a park...... at Shea, the 2nd baseman would have caught it.... 2-1 Yankees, end of 6.......



10:19- Phillies go down like lambs in the 7th



10:19- Commercial for a movie where Morgan Freeman speaks with the worst South African accent ever..... he sounds like Joe Clark.....



10:31 Yankees have 1st & 3rd no outs.... Pedro removed... a cascade of boos.... Pedro cracks a smile...



10:34- Chan Ho Park replaces Pedro.... he has a beard now.... hope it helps him get outs....



10:36- Posada gets a pinch single, 3-1 Yankees



10:38: Jeter BUNTS WITH TWO STRIKES & STRIKES OUT... !!! Dumbest move since... can anyone remember...? (I know, you can't criticize him cause the Yankees won the World Series 9 years ago.)



10:42 double play baby....



10:48- Mariano starts the 8th....

Philles lose as Matt Stairs strikes out and then finishes the pastrami hero he ordered from Katz's during the game.
