Charlie Manuel was asked if a 2010 World Series matchup of the Phillies and Mariners with Roy Halladay facing Cliff Lee in Game 1 would make for an entertaining matchup. "Nah," Manuel said, with a quick and dismissive shake of his head. "I want the Yankees." The Yankees defeated Philadelphia in Game 6 of the 2009 World Series. "Whether you want to admit it or not, they're the New York Yankees, and that means something," Jayson Werth said. "The Yankees always have some sort of mystique." Acknowledging the Yankee mystique does not mean bowing to it; for Werth and his teammates, it means wishing to eclipse it. "One thing that I have always noticed about going to Yankee Stadium was, the pregame Jumbotron always showed excessive amounts of Yankee tributes," Werth said. "They really enjoy themselves, but they have a right. "I don't think there would be anything better than to reach the World Series again and to beat them. We were the defending champs, and they took it away."
