  SULLY BASEBALL — Authority: 479
  Its obviously not what I WANT to happen... but I think the Yankees are on a roll. If the Yankees win tonight, then it might be a Fox nightmare and yet another short series. If the Phillies win tonight then it will go 6 or 7 games, but in the end Sabathia is too good and Lidge is just bound to cough one up. ...
