where is the Brewers fan who was complaining about Citizens Bank Park? At least our ballpark doesn't have a fucking roof that comes into play - wtf? And who builds a stadium with a roof but sun can still play an issue - what's up with all the freakin windows? and don't get me started on the Thundersticks - what an annoying fucking sound those things make - ugh, if we use them in Philly I'm gonna be sick.
good series win but they never make it easy do they? Going to be fun against the Dodgers but a much more difficult series to win. Need the offense to get going a lot more - manufacture some runs. Hopefully starting pitching can continue to pitch well - can't wait until thursday.

Don't worry we won't need them. We were so much louder than Milwaukee and they had a dome! We'll continue it again on Thursday night when I'm there. Rally towels and loud voices is all we'll need.
I like our pitching matchups..I really like them...a lot...but its time for the bats to wake up! Utley and Howard MUST have a big series
Utley especially. He HAS to start playing better in the playoffs. I'm sorry, but if you(Chase) are not going to make your hip an excuse then neither am I. Howard not as much because he's getting intentionally walked a lot. So that means Chase should see good pitches (IE the Barry syndrome). So, Chase - this is a challenge to you. STEP IT THE FUCK UP!

agree Chase has been dreadful for the 2nd year in a row. I'm sure this year a lot has to do with the hip but he has to do a better job of moving runners and getting runners home. How many times has he had chances to drive in runs or move runners and he strikes out or pops up weekly - just awful so far. Howard won't see one decent pitch in this series - no way Torre is going to pitch to him with Burrell behind him, despite what Pat did yesterday.
Kudos to Pat for not taking shots at Philly fans too. I mean the guy has been so up and down and has had times when he has been ripped unmercifully here (from me included) but has never once complained about the fans. He just goes back out the next day and tries again - no woe is me from Pat and I have a hell of a lot of respect for that.

I'm tellin ya - I think the thought of Pat coming back is 60/40. I think it's better than we think. And if they win WS I bet that climbs to 80/20....I think it can happen...And if they did win I think Pat would forget he's married, drunkenly stumble down to the Irish Pub or the Continental like the old days, bring a girl home and give her a dirty sanchez.
And with Utley, I hate how people don't call him out like Howard, Burrell, and Rollins just because he fits the "Philly mold."
Hamels vs Lowe : a battle of the aces..I think its going to be a tough fought game on both sides but i am calling a 2-R HR by Ryan Howard in the Bottom of the 6th to put the Phils up 5-3 and they hold on to win 5-4.
Myers vs Billingsly: another Bret Myers heart attack special. Dodgers take a 2-0 lead after the first inning but the Phils rally back in the 3rd to tie. Dodgers take a 1 run lead into the 7th when a sac fly by Greg Dobbs drives in Shane Victorino to tie the game. Brad Lidge comes in in the 9th to drop the Dodger 1,2,3 with the top of the order coming up. Rollins singles to left. Wearth sacrifices Rollins to second. Utley up. Rollins steals 3rd. Utley skies on to center and scores Rollins to end the game. 4-3 Phils win to take a 2-0 series lead to LA
Moyer vs Kuroda: Moyer bounces back. Jamie Moyer pitches a gem in this one going 7 2/3 strong of shut out baseball. Phils get home runs from Werth, Utley and Feliz and the Phils win 7-1 to take a 3-0 series lead.
Blanton vs Lowe: LA brings Lowe back early to save their series and he does. Blanton gets knocked around a bit and the phils lose 8-3 taking a 3-1 series lead back to Philadelphia.
Hamels vs Billingsly: not even close. Hamels comes in with World Series on the mind. 8 strong 1 earned. 4 hits. Howard homers as well as doubles in 2 while the real start of the game is Pat Burrell with 2 doubles and a HR driving in 5. Bullpen gives up a few runs and Lidge shuts the door just to be sure as the Phils win 9-4 and advance to the World Series to face....the Boston Red Sox
Anybody selling tickets to game 1? I don't care where the seats are, I just want to be in the building. AKA-I could probably e convinced to pay $200 for a pair of Standing Room.

Dude, just go to Stub - yeah, it sucks, but you can get seats for $200. That's what I did.

you forgot to mention the kiddie slide in the Brewers stadium. Fun stuff.
They are $200 each on there. I am looking for a pair for $200. It's gonna be tough. I missed a pair of SRO on ebay last night for $150 by like a minute.
i need a hamels shirt. he's replaced utley as my favorite player. i love his comment yesterday about how he wants to turn the city more red than it is green. now i'm an eagles fan, too, but good for him for saying that out loud. :eek: especially on a day where the eagles were so disappointing and the phillies lifted us up! woo!

I'm glad to see that Joe Blanton did well yesterday. Here's a little insight from an A's fan... he gets lit up after 6 innings! I've seen it happen way too many times... he does great until around the 6th and then everybody starts tagging him. Bob Geren would always be sleeping in the dugout, and before anyone was ready in the bullpen, Blanton would have given up a bunch of runs. I was glad to see him get traded!!:D After watching yesterday's game, I'm assuming that you're manager knows this though... so in that case he should do well.
Whoa, chill bro... you know you can't raise your voice like that when the lion's here.

I think I am going to go that route. I can't believe how many are on craigslist, ebay, stubhub and broker sites. Is anyone actually going to the game??
I'm going Thursday night in my family's season ticket seats: Section 130 (or 131-133, can't remember), Row 13. Driving down from NY that evening, driving back up early AM for work Friday morning. Can't freakin' wait!

This guy knows jackshit.. "Brett Myers, who has more losses than wins, then takes on Chad Billingsley, and the Dodgers look pretty good to win one of the first two games here"
Look at Myers' numbers since coming back up.
I actually like that everyone is picking LA. We're being overlooked, that's fine. Go Phils!!!
