It's now or never for the Philadelphia Phillies, who, for the first time in the last two postseasons, face elimination in Game 5 of the World Series Monday night at Citizens Bank Ballpark.The defending champs will have the raucous Philadelphia crowd on their side as well as ace Cliff Lee, who has been virtually unhittable so far in the playoffs, but they'll have to tangle with A.J. Burnett, who shut them down in Game 2, and the rest of a Yankees team that can smell its first title since 2000.
Join the MLB FanHouse crew after the jump for a LIVE chat throughout Game 5. The festivities start at 7:45 PM ET.

It really looks like we are heading in the right direction to win and go to Game No. #6. What do you all think about that?

Give the Phillies credit for they did what they were supposed to do tonight.
They won with their best pitcher even though he was only good. But, he was good enough.
Utley ---- what can you say about this guy, great hitter, competitor and no stupid comments like Rollins makes. He can play for me anytime.
But, if you told me after game 2 that the Yankees would win two out of three in Phillie, I would have said---I'll take it.
We even had a chance again in the 9th. Give the Yankees credit, they never quit.
Good game to watch as fan but terrible result.
I also had mixed feelings, I have tickets for game six, but, I preferred not to have to use them.
Oh well going to the game in the Bronx and cheer on the Yankees!!!!!

The Phillies played a better game and I'm still proud of the Yankees great attempt at a rally. I'm glad we're finishing this in the Bronx and may the best team win.

I'm a yankee. That's all I have to say. Joe Girardi better got back to the National League. Why oh why did't he pinh-run for Matusi with Pena and send him down to 2nd base. With Jeter up who almost leads the league in double play balls, why didn't he just keep Melky if he wasn;t going to use Pena. He took the bat out of A-Rods hand. He doesn't have very much confidence in his pitching but not Phil Coke of all people to bring in. Wrong pitchers for the wrong situation, Doesn't know how to manage a staff, The series should be over and the parade should be goin on.

PhilLie fans are so nasty out there. I hope Yankee fans show them the same courtesy.
There is so many bad calls by the Umps that I wish they had instant replays. Yeah, I know the game is slow enough sometimes, but right is right.
The Phillie team is excellent. Jeter doesn't field the balls like he used to, and some of these fave guys are acting old. I love the Yanks, but they need young blood out there. fLY POPS NOT CAUGHT BY SWISHER WAS A DISAPPOINTMENT.
When a guy isnt hitting, take him out - this is the world series not pee wee. If your pitcher is off tonight, take him out after so many pitches, ask him if he can do this. Gee's I wondered how many times Joe was gonna let A Rod get hit before he actually complained? Get Real Joe, be a manager now. Thats your team. Take care of them and they will take care of you.
Joe your alright,pay attention to your gut feelings.
Good luck tomorrow night. Yanks show them what winners you are, and Win gracefully. Yank fans..GIVE THEM HELL.
