5:4? Why you keep trying to cheat me? I'll put $36.50 up against your $50, which is slightly better for you than just splitting the juice on the current Pinny line.Quote:

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
:banana:
Cole is such a stud. So are Madson and Lidge. They should pitch those three every game until Cole's arm falls off.

nothin like a solid pitchers duel to start this puppy off!
Was a good game for sure. Mannn losing at home sucks!
game 2 tonight!
I predict the Phils will lose the next 3 before realizing they have to start Hamels every game. They'll do it and win in 7.
What sport is "baseball"? Sports don't start until Sunday when the Pats play the Rams.
i believe it's the one where the red sox lost to the rays on sunday, not sure thoughQuote:

also, burrell/howard/rollins going 0-13 and leaving 13 RISP is just gonna not work out every fucking game.
Where do you get good rest? It would be 3 days in Game 4 and then 3 days in Game 7. He's never pitched on 3 days rest and they've said pretty clearly they don't plan to start now, right after a season he pitched a career-high and near league-high number of innings.Quote:

bleh cole pitched well
go rays.
for some reason i thought 4 days. gorilla mathhh. still, he looks awesome, and these are the last real games for about half a year. maybe you're right though. i just want to see the phils win in the worst fucking way, though i'm sure you do as well.Quote:

Me neither. That's the agony of 2-4 in the Phils rotation. My questions going into tonight:Quote:

I think his first inning ERA is like 9 or something. I'll be dancing around my living room if he puts up a zero in the first inning.
2) Can Myers locate his fastball? If he's missing spots, inside or over the plate, he'll have a short night.
3) Can Rollins and Howard put together even a couple decent ABs? They looked lost at the plate last night, esp Howard. Phils can't expect 3 runs to win with Brett on the mound, so they need some production from their best hitters.
One positive is that our hitting lineup is much stronger vs. a right-hander. Dobbs will play 3rd and is one of our best hitters, period. And I bet Matt "OMFG where did you come from?" Stairs will DH.
if myers is looking even remotely good tonight i feel about 100 times better about the world series.
oddly enough i feel like we're gonna see a quality start out of blanton.
brett hasn't done so bad, but our batters are just wtf
Winnable game, this one's going to come back and haunt them. Not as bad as Game 4 in '93 obv but they should have had this one. Home plate umpire was terribad. Sigh.
Yah that was a weird.. third strike.. call out..check down at first..walk... play he calledQuote:

Moyer pitched so well tonight and I couldn't be happier about it. F the haters.
Phillies getting outplayed and outmanaged, don't deserve to win this. FUCK. But they still would be winning if the ump didn't blow that call.
whoops
man on no outs
lets go
This team is the opposite of clutch. Don't deserve to win this game.
Game should be over. Fucking ump.
againQuote:

what's this i hear about the ump fucking the phils again
also get on aim zook
come on
fly ball for the win
omg
bingo bango
I have no idea how they won this game.
This is the kind of game that makes you think it might possibly, somehow, in some version of reality... be the Phillies year.
despite how inept they've been, the rays haven't been amazing, and the phillies are just two wins away from doing what once seemed to be impossible as a philadelphia fan.Quote:

I can't imagine what it'd be like if I were actually a huge fan of one of these teams, or if it was the ROYALS...So far it's been pretty damn good, so I'm happy for that.
and btw, you Phillies faithful crack me up. one minute it's "we are awesome," next minute it's doom and gloom, then it's onto "omg we MIGHT have a chance." must be nice to have those types of feelings, I guess. I wouldn't know, I'm a Royals fan...here it's, "well, hopefully we don't lose 100 this year."
good luck Philly faithful but I'm root-root-rooting for the RAYS
This was my first thought as soon as I typed that. But fuck it, if you can't have hope when your team's up 2-1 in the World Series, what's the point? And when they're at that point despite going 1 for 28 with men in scoring position, making some key errors and the umps blowing 3 calls, it makes you realize that this game is crazy and anything can happen.Quote:

I'm sorry for you KC fans UG, but the Rays should give you hope. Small market, small payroll teams can get it done...
ONEEEE TIME
p.s. suck it ug.
p.p.s. go chiefs
Classic makeup call. The ump was in perfect position and still blew it. Ha.
Phillies may be the least clutch team to ever be up 2-1 in WS.
these umps suck!.. you can't do a 'makeup call' the next game haha.. its gotta be the same game.Quote:

wow@blowing that call, unreal
agree. rays still leading 3-1 in blown calls this series tho.Quote:

the sleeping giant has officially awoken
only fitting that cole hamels gets to finish it off.
WOOOO-HOOOOO! I've got champagne on ice! Been waiting almost my entire life for this, it's surreal right now.
But they're also setting themselves up for one of the biggest FAILs in baseball history...
yeah, this series should pretty much be overQuote:

worst umpire ever.
SO FUCKING TILTED
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS FUCKING BULLSHIT. THEY NEVER WOULD HAVE CALLED IT IF THE RAYS HADN'T TIED.
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK
UNREAL
A;EFHJWEIOHF[09HFAOIHJF;KLHFhaoifh;kdvn;kanhv;kahfokihjaeoih'IH ;OIH;Ihg;klnjgl;kajnflkj
are you kidding me? they should have called it waaaaaay before they did. there's freaking standing water all over the field, puddles everywhere!
surprised they let it go as long as they did. that said, I'm glad Pena got to come up huge. more baseball!
p.s. a real team would want to win a full nine inning game, lawlz
I agree! It's such bullshit that they wait until the game's fucking tied! Either the field's playable or it's not. The rules for postseason games need to be changed to allow games to be resumed the next day at any point.Quote:

flomo the foreskin--predicts plhillies lose the WS and then build a dome
aggre with the 9 innings for postseason
and drunk
joking
I honestly can't remember the last time I was this tilted. I need a bong hit.
goddamn game postponed... so messed up in a deciding game geezQuote:

that woulda been so brutal
i hope philly loses
that's all
Can't really even blame zook for being so damn tilted off of that, wow.
I can't imagine even how he feels. He didn't lose....but he didn't *win* either. 96*&#^*^*(@% ??????
sigh
ffs, you waited 25 years, what's one more day?
it didn't help.Quote:

Selig has no balls. What a fucking moron. He came out after the game and said we wouldn't have let the game end 2-1 so even if the Rays didn't score in the 6th he would have suspended the game and they would have finished today or tomorrow. What fucking joke. If that was the case, why didn't he suspend it when Rollins couldn't catch a routine popup in the infield? Or when standing puddles were forming on the infield? Or when they had to work 15 minutes every half-inning to get the mound ready? Obviously Selig waited until it was tied because he's such a fucking pussy. I wish Manuel hadn't declined to speak to the media, he would have torn him a new one.
Ha. Worked for me. You must not have California weed :)Quote:

Good article zook!
yah.. this whole rain scene really screws the phil's pretty hard. Not really fair that hamels can't pitch in the clincher properly...
selig is a dumbass. Ever since that allstar game that ended in a tie.. he's been a dumbass
No baseball tonight :(
Only upside is that Hamels will be available on 3 days rest for Game 7 and I think they'll use him b/c he only made 75 pitches last night. And both Moyer and Blanton will be fully rested for long relief if necessary.
if game 5 is tomorrow night, wouldn't that make game 7 on saturday, giving cole 4 days rest?Quote:

Haven't announced yet for sure, but the plan was to play straight through with Wed/Thurs in Tampa if they could get the game in tonight, so I'd be surprised if they scheduled an off-day if they get it in tomorrow. One of the articles said that Fri/Sat are the worst TV ratings nights, so that makes it even more unlikely.Quote:

lolol.
there's about a .00000001% chance the rays win this fucking series.
also, to ug and anyone else who doesn't understand why zook and myself are freaking out.
have you rooted for a franchise who's lost more games than any other professional sports team in history?
have you had a gm who seemingly is trying to destroy your team (actually, spenda and bob do)
those of us who aren't the fucking retarded yahoos who boo santa claus and pelt j.d. drew with batteries have waited patiently for shit to turn around, and now that it finally is about to, we have to wait. it's fucking torture.
while it looks like it's almost a sure thing that the phillies are finally gonna bring it home...all philly fans have experienced what it's like when we jump the gun and then the team fails miserably. see the '93 phillies or '04 eagles for an example.
i'm just praying that they finish it off tomorrow.
this is so fucked up
LET US GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO
so I can has $15 to $15,000,000 then?Quote:

HOLD
HOLD
HOLD
HOLD
no more baseball, damn
Thank you Phillies!!!!!!
now that the Phillies have won, are the citizens of Philadelphia going to burn down the city tonight?
obviously. this is the first thing i said after swearing when the phillies got the last out. Dthorne have fun in the mayhem (blow up a car for me) and I hope you remain safe.Quote:

also, so glad they gave hamels the WS MVP, he deserved it.
for the rest of my life i'll never forget the look on lidge's face, and victorino running in from centerfield. so unbelievably amazing.
thanks man :DQuote:

Next time, Griffey. :)
Can anyone re-size either of those so I can use them as an avatar? Thanks.
