Lee pitches gem, Phils take game 1

Just about every expert gave the Phillies no chance to win the World Series over the New York Yankees.


Cliff Lee has the Phillies one step closer to proving the so-called experts wrong.

Lee was brilliant tonight, throwing a complete game and only allowing one run (un-earned).

Chase Utley had two solo home runs and Raul Ibanez had a huge two-run single in the eighth inning. The Phillies added two more runs in the ninth.

Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia, who had pretty much been untouchable this post season, pitched well but was out-dueld by his former teammate. Lee allowed six hits in his first World Series start.

Lee was calm, cool, and collected all night. He non-chelantly caught a pop-up on the mound and had a great behind-the-back stop on a ground ball later in the game.

The Phillies have quickly taken home field advantage and could take a huge advantage in the series with a win tomorrow night.
