Good Morning...It's November 2, 2009
BIG HIT FOR A-ROD
Alex Rodriguez delivered a two-out double in the ninth inning against Brad Lidge as the Yankees beat the Phils Sunday night 7-4. The Yanks lead the series 3-1.
RUSTY LIDGE
I heard the ESPN announcers Saturday night fearing how Lidge would pitch when he got into a game. He hasn't had any save opportunities, but the analysts felt he should have pitched an inning in Saturday's loss just to get rid of the rust.
SCRATCHING IT OUT
The winning runs came with two outs in the ninth. Damon singled off Lidge, then he stole second and went to third when nobody covered the bag. Lidge hit Mark Teixeira. Then came the A-Rod double into the left-field corner for the lead.
HE HAS HIS NUMBER
A-Rod had faced Lidge three times before Sunday. He had a home run and a double.
MONDAY NIGHT CLINCHER
The Yanks try to win their 27th championship tonight.
Cliff Lee goes against AJ Burnett

ABC has picked the UC-Connecticut game as one of its three regional primetime games for next Saturday night. It's an 8 p.m kickoff, the first time ABC has telecast a game out of Nippert Stadium. You'll see it on Channel 9.
SPANNING THE GLOBE
