Move over Reggie Jackson, there’s a new Mr. October in town!  Last night, Chase tied the former Yankee great with five home runs in a World Series (with at least one game to go).  Of course, as a baseball fan, I would hesitate to kick Reggie out of his throne until the Fightin’ Phils make the comeback of the decade—quite literally.

Here’s a (not so) nice stat for those of you who aren’t baseball history buffs: only 6 teams in 114 World Series played have rallied back to win after being down 3-1.

What does that stat mean to the Phillies?  Absolutely nothing.  They believe that if they go out and execute, they can win the next fifteen games against the Yankees.  The 2009 Philadelphia Phillies are a perfect representation of everything that every Little Leaguer should strive to be.  They may not have a bullpen, and they may make mistakes, but they implore every ounce of their will to win every single game. If the Yankees cared half as much as Chase Utley by himself, they would have already swept the Phillies. It’s science.

Speaking of science, A-Roid, I mean A-Rod, has been hot the past two games, and Johnny Damon has been nearly unstoppable.  What can we do?  Wait…are you thinking what I’m thinking?  Yes!  If we can just get Kate Hudson drunk enough to pick a fight with Alex, storm out, and get caught kissing Johnny Damon while wearing a t-shirt that reads “so easy, a caveman can do it!” I digress…

Here’s some food for thought to hold you over until tomorrow…do you remember who the last losing pitcher was in a November World Series Game 6?  Ding, ding, ding!  Tomorrow’s starter, Andy Pettitte (2001 vs. Arizona).

Of course, the New York Yankees went on to lose that World Series.  The losing pitcher in Game 7…Mariano Rivera.

We’re not done yet!
