let me preface with the fact that i'm a brewers fan, but there's a chance that i may have an x-tra to game one section 301 row 1, for $92 (the price i paid on stubhub)...is anyone interested? i mean if it gets bad either way at least we have pearl jam. pm me asap if you are. my friend is closing on his house and is unsure he can go. i will keep you as updated as i am.

So true.
this, and the fact that we haven't been in 26 years, are the reasons i am choosing to go today. i mean what can you say about the brewers or the city that is a surprise?

Astonishingly in the same article it says you guys have had THREE socialist mayors...ASTOUNDING.
I didn't read through the 37 pages of this thread....
I'm looking for 2 tickets to Thursday's game (Game 2). StubHub and eBay prices are way out of my price range. I can't justify paying 4 to 10 times face value. Does anyone have 2 tickets for sale at a reasonable cost?
I got from work in time for the 9th. Whew. On ESPN Radio during the 8th, Michael Kay/Steve Phillips were talking about how they needed to bring in Lidge to prove that they trusted him or some such. (They were much more persuasive than my summary.) I think I agree, even though it would've been fantastic to see a Hamels CG/SO. Lidge has been causing heart attacks for the last few weeks anyway, so we should be used to it. It all comes down to the first playoff win since 1993. Go Phils!
1st playoff win in 15 years and i see how many pitches of it, you ask?.......NONE! stuck in training at work all day. then my friend who i car pool with, we were supposed to go to a bar at 5 to catch the last couple innings...well his wife got robbed at a petsmart of all places. some clown stole her purse which had her car and house keys, and all credit cards etc etc etc....so we had to bail on the bar to pick her up. ANYWHO....over 2 hours later i get home.
got to listen on the radio though, which brings me to this point: HOW IN GOD'S NAME DO THE PHILLIES NOT LET HARRY KALAS CALL THE FINAL INNINGS OF A PLAYOFF GAME????????????????????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
i have nothing against scott franske. i like him. and i like the chemistry between him and la. BUT FOR THE LOVE OF PETE! ITS THE GOD DAMNED PLAYOFFS!!!! PLAYOFFS?!?!! HOW DO YOU NOT HAVE ONE OF THE ALLTIME GREAT ANNOUNCERS BEHIND THE MICROPHONE WITH THE GAME ON THE LINE?
FUCK THAT. FUCK WHOEVER MAKES THESE DECISIONS IN THAT BACKWARDS ORGANIZATION.
phew.....sorry. i just had to vent. but it just bugs the hell out of me. you know what i'm going to do? i am going to write a strongly worded email to the phillies expressing my disgust over this. yes. that is what i am going to do.
oh, and cole hamels is the mother fucking sandy kofax reincarnated! (if kovfax were dead i suppose).

You do realize they won right? Geesh.
Boy has Lidge been scaring me lately. Great win though!
Huge. Of course hindsight is 20/20, but I felt if a guy got on a second that Charlie would've taken Cole out so I don't mind him bringing Lidge in because A) That's his job & What's the difference between him coming in with no one on base and some one on? Plus, Lidge OWNS right-handers. Sure it's beenshaky lately. But then again, why don't you(the redundnt "you") try going 42 FOR 42 BITCHES!!! HUGE win. See you all at the game tomorrow. Charlie's gotta go a Right/Left lineup tomorrow and have Utley bat second. You don't want back-to-back lefties against a nasty lefty like CC. Hopefully Bret can find a way to "mellow out" like Cole even though Myers is a spaz. Ya gotta be calm, cool, and collected in the playoffs as a pitcher. Also, Cole is still a pussy. A pussy who pitched a nasty game. My lineup would look like this:
nice game today guys...philly fans were dicks as expected, i literally said nothing the entire game and responded to no taunts, and STILL got food thrown at me from behind in the 9th which nailed a 15 year old philly fan to my right. what is fun about that?
anyway, as i said, fun game. could have been epic if the brewers could catch a baseball behind gallardo - he would have only walked 3 thru 3 (howard's was kind of intentional), and could have had a shot at getting to the 5th if that were the case. either way both teams showed that they cannot hit - besides braun's double the best brewer contact was gallardo's near bomb that got held up in the wind and was actually blowing back toward the infield by the time your lf caught it...all my kidding about the crappy short porch in left went out the window on that one. the phils was utley's "double" (helpful scoring from my vantage point since it basically rolled all the way through cameron's glove) and rollins pee-rod to open the game for you guys.

How many times do "outsiders" need to be told? Look it sucks, but it's the way it is yet they still feel a need to come here. Are you not getting the fact that we don't want you here? I hope so now. Ya don't bring a ham sandwich to a beef n' beer.
By the way, I love how everyone and their mother uses the term "bandbox" when referring to the Bank now. As if they're some kind of swami or expert because they've heard every single analyst on ESPN use the term. Congratulations, people - you all now have a smarter knowledge of baseball just for using this term. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.

I'm sure we sound like dicks but I agree - why is it a hard concept that you don't wear the other teams colors to a game? and it's not just Philly so don't give me that.
Agree on the ballpark too. Milwaukee fans complaining about our ballpark is annoying - at least our ballpark has real weather. Indoor stadiums suck - real hard to hit home runs with no wind. It's like kicking field goals indoors.
lets beat the fat boy today and end this series quickly.
i'm heading down to the ballpark in a few hours. i can't wait!! hope myers has a strong showing like he did for most of the second half (just going to forget about his last two outings).

You're a big fan of that Michael Barkann aren't ya?

The phils the only home team to win...so much for home field advantage
Lidge is scaring me....he's still perfect...but shaky
We need to hit the ball !! What did they bat as a team .125 or something yesterday ??
Let's take this back to MIL up 2-0 !!
