The Importance of Game 1 cannot be overstressed. The team that has the first game has gone on to win each of the last six World Series. The Phillies are 8-3 in post-season series after taking the first game and 0-6 in series in which they've dropped Game 1. During the Yankees' recent successful run, they have gone 1-2 in World Series in which they've lost Game 1 and 3-0 in World Series in which they've won the first game.

7:49	[Comment From Jeff Frantz] They're playing the Star Wars theme over the intros during the World Series. How bush league is this?

7:49	I loved it. Absolutely loved it.

7:51	And yes, there's irony in the Phillies being introduced to the Imperial March

7:54	[Comment From Jeff Frantz] The crowd's going to boo the Phillies anyway. Go ahead and bait them for the rest of the game. But let the introductions stand alone. The only way the Yankees could make New York look small time.

7:58	OK, does anyone else remember Kim Basinger being in Wayne's World?

8:00	[Comment From Jeff Frantz] So how do you like the lineup batting Francisco 7?

8:01	Kind of confused by it because his speed would be better used near Rollins.
