[Comment From Bill Vacch]
Hey Pat, as Marty stated in homeroom senior year "PHILLIES FEVER" ! What do you think of Yanks 3 day rest plan all series? I did not agree with it and I hope it comes back to bite them.

12:56

Pat McLoone - Vacch: Good to get a question from Central Pa. Charlie got criticized for not using Lee in Game 4 on 3 days rest. Had the Phillies won one of first two in Philly he absolutely would have looked brilliant.

[Comment From Guest]
Whose going to start game 7 ?

12:57

Pat McLoone - There has to be a Game 7 first. Knowing Charlie and what loyalty means to him, you have to think Hamels. Your call?

[Comment From Debbie]
Was too much made of Cole Hamels' comment?

12:59

Pat McLoone - Debbie: Initially, I would have said bleep no. But when you heard the whole string of quotes and how they were asked, I would say it has been a bit overblown

[Comment From Ed in Mayfair]
Pat, is it safe to assume Ibanez DH's tomorrow with B. Francisco in left?

1:01

Pat McLoone - Mayfair Ed: You would think so. It struck me last night. What if Victorino was hurt and couldn't go? Francisco goes to outfield. That would be OK in Philly. But in NY? With the DH? With Francisco already in lineup, who is your DH? Eric Bruntlett with a left pitching? Stairs against a lefty? That could be big if the injury turns south.
