Brett Myers is not even in the top 5 of wife beating pitchers
looooool, I agreeQuote:

No, I don't trust him either. My theory is he knows he's gonna give up 5-6 runs, so he's counterbalancing it. Hopefully he's getting his shaky starts out of the way because we'll need him in the World Series. Or we could clone Cole Hamels.
Goddammit Brett Myers.
that was inevitable
i don't know what to think about him anymore. can he just find his way back to august?
he's got an average fastball and above average curve. when he can locate his fastball he's a legit #2, when he can't he's a #5 or worse. imo.
hm, good assessment. i can't believe he's 3-3 today though.
me neither. a hit by jroll would have been huge there. they need to score again before LA does.
likewise. i think it's time to pull myers though.
agree. get guys up now, and if myers allows a baserunner, yank him. bullpen's rested and gets tomorrow off.
oh my. 2-0. let us go go go!
great AB Nomar lol
that was so goddamn terrible. i can't believe that.
and by terrible i mean incredible.
Brutal, Kemp as well...he had a hanging slider over the plate and whiffed. Dumbasses.Quote:

Cole Hamels and pray for rain in the WS for you Phils fans.
Dice K is the luckiest good pitcher and it makes me crazy watching him when he throws 110 pitches through 5.
Rays and Sox tied 1-1, what a great game
p.s. what a shitty throw by Drew to end it, a banger at the plate would have been awesome
Why does Josh Beckett now blow? Guhhh he was left in too long.
I thought it was a great game until the last few innings... sucks that the Sox tied it on a wild pitch, Wheeler pitched awesome otherwise. And the home plate umpire sucked in the last inning, calling Kotsay out on a pitch like a foot wide and then squeezing Timlin to let the Rays win it. I know, I know, that's baseball...Quote:

fuck balls shit
cry me a river, must be nice to be a Red Sox fan, AND a Patriots fan, AND a Celtics fan.......must be nice.Quote:

at least we have Kansas Basketball woot
I'm looking forward to tonight's game, Moyer vs Kuroda. Awesome match-up. Kuroda has great stuff, Moyer has 82 mph and a lot of balls, can't wait.
I still hope for Dodgers vs. Sox. That, and for the Phillies not to win the whole damn thing, those whiners hoping for a title (in ANY sport) don't deserve shit. lol
WHAT. THE. FUCK.Quote:

you're an awful human being UG. :(
pay me moneys on stars and I will become the biggest Phillies fan in the universe
I don't want people like you rooting for the Phillies.Quote:

phillies fans are the worst people in history, ur lucky u bone well dave

Phils with a 4-man rotation: Hamels on 5 days rest in Game 5. Myers on 6 days rest in Game 6. Moyer/Blanton on 5 days rest in Game 7.
Gah.
kuroda is apparently unhittable
all AZN r unhittable, its a racial bonus.
This start is HUGE for the Phils and Blanton.
fuck
Matt Fucking Stairs? OMG.
:h: Victorino
shoulda left Kuo in man. WTF >.< those phillies cant hit asians, its been proven. Rays Phillies World series is gonna be boring if it happens imo. sigh
Dodgers suck ass.
That is all.....
Can we bring back the Rams???
Wow, what an amazing game.
Also, are you serious DaddyDeez, or are you just a Phillies hater? any world series that includes the phillies is going to be HIGHLY entertaining.
holy fuck matt stairs.
and wheee victorino.
LET US GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAMELS.
You could be right man. But just seeing Manny vs the sox while the sox are paying Manny's salary, would be sooo good.
i feel ya.
however, the phillies are gonna clinch when hamels takes the mound...
fucking ship it.
When he was in the American League we would go to Royals games just to heckle him. We would chant "SOFTBALL GUY" and other things that would insinuate he looked like (and even played like) a slow-pitch softball player.Quote:

I can't decide if I am happy for Philly or sad since you're obv set up for another horrible disappointment now. Would it be worse to lose 3 straight or lose in the WS? Maybe Utley can puke running around the bases or something.
anyway gl, whatever happens at least you aren't cincy fans.
Thx drmcboy. I think losing 3 in a row to the Dodgers would be the worst way to go, but getting swept by the Rays in the WS would suck too. I'm mentally preparing myself for both possibilities.
But Hamels looks damn good tonight.
Grats Philly fans
FIFTEEN FUCKING YEARS AND THEY'RE ON THEIR WAY BACK TO THE WORLD SERIES.
GODDAMN. PHILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLIESSSSSSSSS
edit: first post on page three, 'tis fitting imo
god this is so fucking sick
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEQuote:

should they pitch hamels 1/4/7?
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEe
I don't think it's a possibility (unfortunately). Manuel and Dubee said they didn't even consider pitching him on 3 days rest in the NLCS when it made a lot of sense b/c there was an extra day off so it would have set up 4 days rest for a potential Game 7. I really doubt they'd do it in the WS with one less off day, meaning two games in a row of 3 days rest if it went 7.Quote:

good luck phillies!!!!!
I'm gonna cheer for the phillies if Boston goes through.
Not sure who I'll cheer for if the Rays go through.. probably should support the AL!
That was a pretty sick inning by Furcal though... he's probably getting heat this morning!
Wow, after Pena's HR the Rays are up 4-0.
This is such a HUUUUUGE story, too bad they don't play in a big market. If they end up pulling this off, Philly vs. Tampa Bay will be a VERY low-rated World Series, if not the lowest ever.
P.S. Holy shit Longoria just hit a bomb as I'm typing this. Tampa Bay Rays, bottom feeders during their whole existence, possibly headed to the World Series............WOW.
Big Papi woke up and finally did something. 7-4 Rays.
It'd be nice to see it go a few more games, c'mon SOX lets go!
(at this point I'm all about the drama of postseason baseball, the Royals aren't in it, for the 23rd year in a row.....just looking for good games, matchups, series, etc........Philly vs. Rays doesn't do it for me but I'll still watch, not sure how many others will. Still think the Rays are the best story for a long time, too bad they're in TB)
wowowowowowow. unreal. go Sox!
