Sorry, Indians fans. I had to mention it. As I'm sure you've already heard from several different sources, today's World Series game features two of the best left handed pitchers in baseball, and coincidentally two former Cy Young winners for the Indians.

CC Sabathia starts for the Yankees, and Cliff Lee will take the mound for the Phillies. Both have been outstanding so far in the playoffs, allowing 5 runs combined over 47 total innings.

The game starts at 7:57 pm ET , and you can catch it on FOX. 66% of FanIQ users picked the Yankees to win tonight. If you're watching the game,this is the place to talk about it from start to finish. This should be a great series, and this game looks like a great start. Chat it up all night, and enjoy the game!

10	I prefer the 10-minute long anthems sung by pop stars who were popular 4 years ago. Bonus if they forget the lyrics.

3	Did anyone else notice when the Phillies starters were announced they came out and high five, or fist bumped there other teammates. But the Yankees starters were announced they didn't so much as look towards there backups. What's up with that.

Well... the Yankees are a group of arrogant pricks with a ridiculous sense of entitlement... obviously.

2	(Edited by jigga_2_k) Great start for Lee. This is what the Phillies do, they make the pitcher go deep in the count. They're already getting to C.C, hopefully that trend continues

You know I thought the same thing but I wasn't going to say it, but not showing sportsmanship towards your opponent is one thing when you don't show it towards your own teammates, give me a break.

4	Jeter + Teixeira + Rodriguez = KKK Coincidence? I think not.

0	I can understand Indian's fans pain. In '07 (i think) the marlins had Dempster on the hill, Pudge behind the plate and Reuben Sierra was up to bat for the yankees.... all three former rangers and in the world series. Made me, as a rangers fan, very sad.

2	Is this going to be the start of the awful calls..........Wait for it ................Wow they call this one right................

2	i'm glad to see that the umps got together and got that call right....would hate to see the terrible umpireing to continue through the world series.....

1	(Edited by joe_lindberg) I did what Pat told me not to do I sat here holding my breath waiting for the first botched call of the series but I have to give it to them they shocked me.

2	TOUCH EM ALL AGAIN CHASE!!!!!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!!!!!!!

1	jigga_2_k wrote: I hope Chase fouls a ball off right in Rudy's TEETH Did one better than that.........That's 2

3	LOL STRIIIIIIIIKE 3 Grab some pine A-Roid

3	Touch em all Chase!!!!!

1	Who said the Phillies were arrogant?

3	Chase Utley is great. That is all.

2	joe_lindberg wrote: Did one better than that.........That's 2 100 pitches for C.C. He sure did do one better. This is what the Phillies do lol..

2	Lee pitching a gem. McCarver's an idiot, the left fielder isn't responsible for a ball hit down the first base line. I thought that'd be obvious.

2	That catch by Lee was not nearly as hilarious as McCarver made it out to be.

1	MrNFL wrote: That catch by Lee was not nearly as hilarious as McCarver made it out to be. They're idiots dude

1	(Edited by jigga_2_k) McCarver made it sound like "look how un-nerved Lee is out there pitching in his 1st WS" If you couldn't tell by now he was un-nerved you might as well turn it off and go to bed. These announcers talk to the viewers at home like we're baseball illiterate.

1	as much as i hate the Yankees and their palacial stadium the seventh inning ceromony is one of the most emotional moments in sports....what happened to the eagle they used to have fly in?

0	Or is it Rowland Tenor I'm not sure but that guy has a set of pipes

1	LOL this is EXACTLY what I was saying. They go deep in the count and are EXTREMELY patient at the dish. This was the same recipe they used against the Dodgers and we all know the outcome of that.

0	glad to see Raul come through....he was always a class act when he was with the Mariners. hope he can get a ring...

0	That behind the back catch was win. Lee is unstoppable tonight.

0	Ha ha. When it's your night, it's your night! Lee makes a behind-the-back stab and gets it. Nice!

0	9 for 58 in the Postseason, and the Phillies are under dogs??? STRIIIIIIIIIKE 3 Grab Some Pine Big Boy

0	These analysts/pundits think throwing 95 MPH is a big deal. Fact of the matter is if you don't locate the pitches the speed is worthlees. Besides that the faster they come in the faster they go out.

0	Cliff Lee is DEALIN' tonight! Hopefully this inspires Pedro!

0	Ryan wrote: Cliff Lee is DEALIN' tonight! Hopefully this inspires Pedro! LOL @ the infield base hit. Yeah we're facing A.J tomorrow his era is 4.42 Pedro's is 0.00. I hope we can get to Burnett early, we win GM 2 we may be lookin sweep

4	Every out Cliff Lee gets, 50 Clevelanders jump into the Cuyahoga River, which then catches fire.

1	That's the A-Rod we've all come to know and mock in the postseason.
