I was dreading playing the phillies really wanted the Rockies to pull through so we could send them back home but right now our offense is kicking and our bullpen is doing great just gotta hope Howard cools back down

I like the starting pitching matchups for the Phils this series. Dodgers have a sick bullpen though and have some good lefties that can contain our LH hitters. Dodgers are rolling right now but they were last year too and we took care of them.

If the Phillies bullpen can come through and Ryan Howard can stay hot, Phils should be able to take this series.

PS -- LOL @ posting 2008's NLCS schedule. Silly Dodger fans.

This year's schedule at this point:

Game 1 8:07pm
Game 2 4:37pm.
Game 3 8:07pm.
No time on Game 4, but the Yankees play the Angels in LA also on Monday so we would be looking at late afternoon start.
Game 5, if necessary, will be 8:07PM.

Yea all that stuff was being said about the Dodgers last year too. Its going to be tougher this year, but I think we are up for it.

So, who beans whom first?

I'm really looking forward to this. Phillies are also bringing Chan Ho back for this series, so that gives us some bullpen help. I'm hoping we pitch Cliff Lee game 2, because we need to atleast take one game in LA.

Man I did not know Park was coming back. Man that makes feel a hell of a lot better about our BP situation.

If Cole's going to get back on track, it's game 1. He's always pitched well in LA, and now's the chance for him to prove what the sports media in Philly has been saying about him this whole time: [that] he can turn it on in the playoffs.

I want to see a game like he had earlier in the year. Didn't he throw less than 100 pitches in that CG win?

 

[mobbdeep1122]

Anyone think Pedro starts Game 2? Game 1 is Hamels and Game 3 is Lee.

 

[Pitty]

I love the fightin's!!!! Game two will probably be Blanton, or and outside shot at Lee.

 

[mobbdeep1122]

I expect Hamels/Lee to get 2 starts each this series. I think Hamels goes Game 1 and 5, Lee goes Game 2 and 6

PS: Here is the Dodger's rotation, according to Torre's press conference:

Kershaw
Padilla
Kuroda
Wolf

Kuroda has owned the Phillies, but he's coming off an injury so who knows how he'll pitch.

This should be a great series, I'm rooting for the Dodgers though. A Dodgers vs Angels WS would be great.

Fixed x2

I will be going fucking crazy again tomorrow night.

Weren't you a Pirates fan all year and going "fucking crazy" when McCutchen beat us?

 

[Blade]

Word is that Myers and Kendrick will be left off the WS roster.

Bruntlett and Park are in. Park saying that he is ready to pitch.

Starters are.....

Game 1: Hamels
Game 2: Pedro
Game 3: Lee (rested at this point)
Game 4: Leave it to beaver.

Happ and Blanton will be in the bullpen for the first couple games. I am guessing Cholly thinks that he might need those studs if Hamels or Pedro falter.

i have tickets to game 6 of the nlcs, i'm hoping the phillies win that game to go to the world series while im there.

Yeah why wouldn't I? Are you the god damn Baseball police.

Let me give you some history.

Houtz loved baseball at a young age. Grew up loving Jason Kendall, Jay Bell and Barry Bonds. Then Houtz discovered football and stopped giving a shit about baseball.

It wasn't until now that Houtz realizes why. His team hasn't had a winning season in 17 fucking years.

So one day Houtz decided, "why do I hate baseball" "why not give it a shot".

Everyday the Phillies would play during the week they would have it on the radio at work. Working with a bunch of Phillie fans I decided to start following baseball.

I started watching/caring about baseball from opening day last year. Rooting for the Phillies, watching/listening to every game. Why? Because they don't show the Pirates where I live.

I watched every playoff game, hell almost went to the parade in Philly it meant that much to me.

So this season I decided to go back to my roots. Started rooting for the Pirates. Knowing they've been irrelevant for a long time and the fact I can't watch their games I listened/watched the Phillies all season long.

So yeah I will be rooting for the Phillies as I have all season long. If the Piraets and Phillies play it's the only time I get to watch the games.

So call me whatever you wish, I will be watching the game just like you.

Thanks for informing me Houtz, the only reason I said this was because of the McCutchen walk off.
