thats exactly what im crossing my fingers for

This is a great matchup, though I see the Dodgers winning, they have a better bullpen.

 

[longhornfan]

Not that you guys give a shit, but I'm 1-1 against Kershaw. Got a little nice bunt single against him my junior year in a tournament.

 

[BroncoBlue]

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.

Lulz!

Wow! Defensive much?!?!?

 

[BroncoBlue]

Damn Cole Hamels has yet to impress this post-season...

Can't blame his new baby on this one.

Phillies are going to have to ride Cliff Lee and that Lineup into the WS.

Honestly, I don't think either of these teams can beat the Yanks. If the Phillies could find some one other then Cliff Lee to show up in that rotation they could have a shot.

 

[SethMode]

I wasn't crazy about Cole, but come on, it's Manny fucking Ramirez. Why they were even going after him with a spot on first is beyond me.

 

[IamMedellin]

Phillies in 7

y?

 

[SethMode]

Madson is done. This is killing me.

 

[Obst]

Madson is a pussy

 

[SethMode]

Madson is a pussy

Why do you not leave Chan Ho in to bat with a 4 run lead?

 

[BroncoBlue]

Hamels couldn't get the job done vs. the Rockies either. The worst part was that Hamels should have dominated that Rockies line up. I agree in being more forgiving because it's Manny, but come he's the 2008 WS MVP, I expect more! That Dodgers lineup and bull pen are going to leave there mark on the Phillies I expect Lee to pitch three times this series. Hopefully he's not burnt out for the WS.

So does this mean we are going to see Blanton or Martinez in game 2 or 3, since Happ pitched tonight?

 

[Pitty]

1-0 Phillies, Lidge looking nice.

It's Pedro tomorrow.

I just mean, there's no way they should have been throwing at Manny. You expect more out of the 2008 WS MVP than giving up a dinger to Mr. Postseason HR? Come on now. THat's crazy. It's Manny fucking Ramirez.

 

[Obst]

Just some quick things, no one thought we would be able to hit Kershaw, all the analysts said he would shut us down. Another thing was the bullpen was supposed to shut us down too and hold us to no runs once the starter left. Welcome back to the NLCS LA.

God damn these games. As David Cone once said.. "These type of games are never fun til its over and you know you won"

HUGE win -- now lets step on their throat and take Game 2.

I was driving up the wall last night watching this game. I don't understand why Cole got away from the inside fast ball to Manny, I mean if you are going to throw 3 straight Change Ups Manny will catch up for chrissakes. Post-game all I heard was that "I got frustrated" blah blah blah from Hamels. I mean come on dude, you won 2 postseason MVPs last year, lets get on a roll here.

I have never been big on Hamels, I feel like he is one of those types who want to make sure they look good while playing out there, and love the media attention when its on them and get distracted.

Dude Hamels almost solely won Philly it's first championship in 25 years. I fucking love that guy and he should go down as a Philly great just for the WS.

Yea I am grateful for that. But that doesn't mean he has free reign to show up his team mates while on the mound. During the season, I figure he was tired from pitching almost 300 innings last year, so I gave him the benefit of the doubt. But when you are being an arrogant prick out there and claiming "Woe me" that annoys me. Its championship time boy, time to nut up or shut up

Bases loaded w/ one out. The Phillies are gonna lose another game they had wrapped up...
