Roy Halladay No Hits Reds in Game One NL Division Series, 4-0!

To channel the late Harry Caray (and Phil Rizzuto).....holy cow!

Roy Halladay of the Philadelphia Phillies has pitched only the second post season no hitter in the history of baseball, 4-0 tonight against the Cincinnati Reds. The first post season no-hitter was Don Larsen's perfect game in 1956.

Halladay only allowed one batter to reach base, a 5th inning walk by the Reds Jay Bruce.

WORLD CHAMPIONS!!!!!!

The New York Yankees defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 7-3 to win their 27th World Series title.

Yankee starter Andy Pettitte went five and two thirds innings on short rest and gave up three runs, two on a home run by Phillies slugger Ryan Howard. The bullpen of Joba Chamberlain, Damaso Marte, and closer Mariano Rivera pitched scoreless baseball the rest of the way.

Yankee DH Hideki Matsui slugged a two run homer, a two run double, and a two run single, to tie Bobby Richardson for most RBI's in a single World Series game (1960, Yankees).

The Yankee Core of Four- Mariano Rivera, Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada, and and Andy Pettitte won their fifth World title as teammates (1996, 1998-2000, 2009).

Hideki Matsui was named the MVP of the Series, the first full time DH to win the trophy.

Alex Rodriguez is on a World Series winner for the first time in his Hall of Fame career.

The New Yankee Stadium- the "New House"- is now a home.

Yankee starter AJ Burnett, working on short rest, couldn't get past the third inning, and gave up six runs on six hits, walked four, and hit Phils centerfielder Shane Victorino. Yankee reliever Phil Coke gave up solo homers to Utley and Raul Ibanez in the seventh to account for the rest of the Phillies scoring.

Yankees Win, Beat Phillies 7-4; Have A 3-1 Lead in "Jersey Turnpike" Series

The score was tied 4-4 in the top of the ninth with two out. Yankee leftfielder Johnny Damon singled, then stole second and third. Mark Teixeira was hit by a pitch from Phillies reliever Brad Lidge. Alex Rodriguez doubled, driving in Damon, with Teixeira going to third. Jorge Posada singled, driving in Teixeira and Rodriguez, but was thrown out at second.

That made it 7-4 Yankees. That was all that was needed.

Mariano Rivera pitched a perfect ninth, giving Joba Chamberlain the win in relief, Lidge took the loss. The Yankees lead the Series, 3-1.

Tonight, in what has become an elimination game for the Phillies, Game 2 starter AJ Burnett will face Game 1 starter Cliff Lee from Citizen's Bank Ball Park in Philadelphia for Game 5 of the 2009 World Series.

Mark Teixeira and Hideki Matsui hit solo home runs 4th and 6th innings respectively after trailing the Phils 1-0 to that point. Pinch hitter Jorge Posada tacked on another run in the 7th, driving in Jerry Hairston, who was starting in rightfield in place of Nick Swisher, with a single.

Burnett and Phillie starter Pedro Martinez dueled into the 7th when Pedro was pulled by Phils manager Charlie Manuel for Chan Ho Park.

Burnett was great, pitching 7 innings, giving up one run on only four hits with nine strikeouts and only two walks.

The evened up Series moves to Philadelphia on Saturday night for Game Three, with Andy Pettitte starting for New York, and Cole Hamels for the Phils.
