yep, that's pretty much baseball for you.

SammyG 10-12-2008 06:42 PM

We need to sweep all 3 in LA..

McLegend 10-12-2008 09:30 PM

Dodgers up 6-1 in the bottom of the 3rd

Now it's only the 3rd inning, but I think this is the Philies No F'n way game.

SammyG 10-13-2008 12:08 AM

Booyah. Benches clearing was sweet, thought Manny was gonna fuck a nigga up.

Supreme Olajuwon 10-13-2008 01:41 PM

Manny's quote:

"I just wanted to go out there and protect my teammates. I don't fight nobody. I'm a lover."

lol

SammyG 10-13-2008 02:32 PM

Yeah, i fucking love him.

ClockShot 10-13-2008 08:31 PM

The Rays solved the puzzle that is Jon Lester today.

McLegend 10-13-2008 11:21 PM

I love Shane Victorino.

<font color=goldenrod>Brsd Lidge clearly sold his soul to Satan for this year, and you'll never be able to convince me otherwise unless he fucks it up eventually</font>

SammyG 10-14-2008 12:15 AM

Devastated right now. Can't even think straight. Have to study for 3 tests. Awful.

RP 10-14-2008 12:16 AM

I really wanna see a Dodgers vs Sox matchup. I wanna see Manny run out a triple in Boston.

McLegend 10-14-2008 12:17 AM

Billy Wagner

RP 10-14-2008 12:18 AM

I still think Brad Lidge is gunna serve one up at the worst possible moment sometime this playoffs.

Supreme Olajuwon 10-14-2008 11:09 AM

If that happens, hopefully Andy Pettitte will be in attendance so the camera can cut to him shouting "OH MY GOD" again.

McLegend 10-14-2008 05:01 PM

Greatest Philadelphia sporting event of my lifetime.

VonErichLives 10-15-2008 12:05 AM

I was at 2004 game 4 ALCS...

I was offered tickets for Thursday night... I really don't know if I want to go...

this sucks... I'm gonna have to wear a fucking Rays hat for a month.

Evil Vito 10-15-2008 12:10 AM

<font color=goldenrod>Why the fuck have they put in days off in the LCS when they aren't even changing cities? Has it always been that way? Just seems a bit unnecessary.....it's bad enough that next year's WS is guaranteed to end no sooner than November 5th.</font> :o

MVP 10-15-2008 09:49 AM

This ALCS has been hard to watch. Red Sox forgot how to hit. :(

I believe it's because when it gets down the games that "could clinch" a series MLB wants one game per night so it alternates nl/al and there is a game in primetime everynight on a weeknight.

<font color=goldenrod>Ah, so pretty much just like everything else...it's all about the monayyyyyyyy.

What I find funny is that such a big deal is being made about how bad the ratings would be if it was a Tampa/Philly WS. They're making it sound as if the 2009 season is going to be canceled if the ratings are low.</font>

yeah, I could be wrong but I think the ad buy rates are tied into the viewing rates, I'm not sure if it's retro on the current series or directly effects the next year.

Like I think the NFL bases their buyrates off the viewing from the previous year.

so... LA/Phl > Presidential Debate tonight?

MATT STAIRS: Definitely the top. I think it's one of those things where you've been here for a month, you want to get that one big hit where you feel like you're part of the team. Not that I don't feel like I'm part of the team, by no means, but when you get that nice celebration coming into the dugout and you're getting your ass hammered by guys, it's no better feeling than to have that done. It's definitely the top pinch-hit home run of my career.

Yeah but they had the NLCS Game 4 on the same night as an ALCS game.

I always just figured they did a rest day after every two games and for every city change.

SammyG 10-15-2008 05:31 PM

If we win today, I feel good about the next two games.

McLegend 10-15-2008 05:37 PM

No you don't.

SammyG 10-15-2008 05:39 PM

Yea, I do. Myers? Not scared. Only reason we lost was because Billingsley was a douchebag that game, and let the PITCHER have like 3 RBIs. Hamels is the bigggg one.

McLegend 10-15-2008 05:44 PM

We shall see.

RP 10-15-2008 08:08 PM

Whats a nigga name MATT STAIRS!

RP 10-15-2008 08:09 PM

great article

"I'm not going to lie," Stairs said. "I try to hit home runs and that's it."

McLegend 10-16-2008 12:12 AM

FUCKIN A

McLegend 10-16-2008 12:16 AM

HOLY SHIT

McLegend 10-16-2008 12:26 AM

Blake Dewit is my favorite non-Phillies player.

SammyG 10-16-2008 02:12 AM

.... Booyah'd! Oh well. Good run.

RP 10-16-2008 02:44 AM

WTG Furcal

RP 10-16-2008 02:45 AM

I'm trying to remember at what point did Furcal morph into Chuck Knoblauch. Wasnt it like the 5th inning?

SammyG 10-16-2008 02:48 AM

Yeah. Absolutely awful, especially for a guy looking for a new deal this offseason..
