NLCS: San Francisco Giants vs. Philadelphia Phillies

[EmpireWF]

There are plenty of Mets fans who still think to this day that if Piazza went after Clemens in the World Series, the Mets win the series.

:smh:

But why blame Utley? He was hit! He was aggravated. There was MUCH more he could do and ALL he did was toss the ball back. Didn't say a word until Sanchez screamed his head off repeatedly at him. I'm sorry, but if you can't get it under control and bean a dude, and ALL that dude does is silently toss the ball back to you, and you flip? You're being a bitch. I can see your point if Utley was a prick about it, but it was all nonchalant and he didn't say a word until Sanchez screamed at him 3 or 4 times and basically forced a response out of him.

exactly. utley was aggravated, he tossed the ball back, sanchez was aggravated, he said something. its just an unwritten rule of baseball. there are a couple (not walking across a pitchers mound, not bunting to break up a no hitter, etc.) you never throw anything back to the pitcher if youre on the opposite team.

now listen, i understand youre argument, and im not gunna say it wasnt sanchezs fault. but if youre going to try to call him out with 100% of the blame, then smh. neither of us know anything about what is really going on, or why players do what they do.

that said, this has been a great game

That last pitch was not a strike. I don't care what Fox Trax shows.

It was borderline, but Howard has to swing at that with the season on the line. He has to. "Protect the plate."

Shades of Carlos Beltran in 2006.

 

[Sigona]

Beltran picked up some company the past two nights with strikes looking :smug:

Exactly. I'm still so angry about that.

That was a weird ass interview with The Beard after the game lol

I'd like to know what the inside joke about the machine was

 

[Blade]

Thank god I had beer with me last night. The ability shown with RISP by the Phils was atrocious, you don't win championships by pulling a Carlos Beltran at the plate. It was a good season by the Phils, we will back next year.

Good luck to the Giants.

 

[DJ Rhude]

We both shit the bed hitting with RISP.....it was Chinese water torture watching the Yankee hitters pop up every fucking time with men on base.....I know Phillie fans had to feel the same way

 

[wingsfan77]

So frustrating, I knew that making it to 3 straight World Series was going to be incredibly difficult....you're not going to win many games scoring 2 runs.

 

[SethMode]

After having time to breath, I'm no longer mad at Howard. I still don't understand how he didn't swing at that, but I will not be that typical fan looking to run him out of town. Truth be told, the offense stunk (or was made to look like shit by the Giants bullpen) throughout the series, and honestly, despite no RBI's, Howard was the only guy that consistently got on base with this team.

Ugh, still hard to think about. Now I move on to rooting for Cliff Lee I suppose.

hey Giants in 6 got it right
