[World Series] Philadelphia Phillies vs. New York Yankees

[mobbdeep1122]

You know, Hamels hasn't been great this year, but that quote has been so overblown and taken out of context it's ridiculous. It's like the Mets as chokers comment all over again.

Agreed. It was a dumb thing to say, but his comment before he said he would love the chance to redeem himself and his team by pitching in a Game 7 if it got to that point.

Yeah...it's just what happens. Notice you never see the questions asked these guys, just the statement, and that's plastered EVERYWHERE. I love being on fucking TWITTER and seeing updates with just that line it as if that's some sort of credible source. It was dumb to say, but he had just been ass-raped and was asked what he thought of his pitching in this season as a whole, and he answered probably a little too truthfully.

The worst are the Philly fans that seem to think that him saying that was an indication that he wanted Philly to lose. Say what you will about Hamels not being a "fit" in a blue collar sports town, but this guy shows heart day in and day out, especially this season when his stuff just wasn't working. I love this city, but man, we can be tough. This man pretty much carried us to our first WS victory in 28 years. Plus he pitched more innings than he ever had (Verducci effect anyone?). I'm willing to give him a pass this year.

All of that said though, if this goes to 7, I'm sorry. Game 7 of the WS against a lineup like the Yankees is not the time to seek redemption.

LOL, yeah. If this goes 7, I really think Cliff Lee gets the ball. Even on 2 days rest. I really believe they'll have him go out there and pitch as long as he can if he's effective.

Gotta get through Game 6 first, though.

Anyone see that stat Fox put up in the 2nd or 3rd inning, where since the 1999 World Series pitchers pitching on full rest are like 25 games over .500 vs. pitchers going on 3 days rest. It's funny because all you heard about was how good Burnett's and Sabathia's record are on short rest, but how many of those starts are in November pitching in the biggest game of their life? Don't get me wrong, the Yankees are still securly in the driver's seat in this series. But if Pedro can find away to pitch like he did in game 2, I don't see Pettite matching it. If you're a Yankees fan, you better hope for a ton of offense tomorrow night.

Funny how the Philly fans are chirping a bit more after that one. Amazing how much confidence a win delivers.

Noticed that about your homefield too. Got quiet a bunch of times last night at any sign of a threat.

I think sending Pettitte tomorrow is a mistake.

Oh come on...that's what always happened. You don't see Maddog in here saying stupid things, do you? And I hardly think any of us here are "chirping". We were talking just as much yesterday, if not more so. And that was after one of the most crushing endings in a while.

Oh and as far as the homefield: at least Phils fans stay for the games even in defeat. Game 1 Yankee stadium was barren.

LOL -- the hell you talking about. The same group of people are in this thread every day. Win or lose. Phillie fans and Yankee fans.

Why are you guys arguing with a moronic Cowboys fan, who has the Cowboy and the Giants QB in his sig? And apparently is rooting for the Yankees.

[Blade]

FYI....bad weather rolling into NYC starting tomorrow night, and getting heavy through the day and night on Thursday. Looks like your good ole north easter wintry mix.

Well Giradi made the 3 days rest bed, so now he's gotta lay in it.....

And who would you rather he send out there against that nasty line up, a fucked in the mind Chamberlain, Ace or Chaudin?

I'll take Pettite for 300 Alex.

You're an idiot.

Ask Rhude how I feel about the NY Giants.

I didn't mean for that to sound as derogatory as it did.

Really my point was more towards the confidence 1 win delivers in a postseason series. Yank fans (well, the bad ones) were hysterical after Game 1.

In all honesty wouldn't be surprised to see it go 7, though I hope not.

edit: You're absolutely right about the Yankee Stadium comment. Frauds.

Ok fine........but with the comment you made and all the avatars and sigs you rep, I can't tell who the fuck you are rooting for......sue me.
