    Hey, Russell Martin don't force your teammates to take a curtain call when the game is CLEARLY not close to being over.

    Cole's gotta be his usual self on Wednesday. Upstairs at McGillian's on Wednesday night!! Be there!!

    Oh and by the way, win or lose, LA is one FAKE city that can SUCK MY BALLS.

    6 down 5 to go!!!!!

    wow just wow - Victorino is the man - Dykstra-esque (without the Steroids) with big hit after big hit. except when our manager decides to bunt with him for our worst 3 hitters.

    Matt Stairs - "that ball should have had a fucking stewardess on it" - and I thought we only hit home runs in our small park. the only park that wouldn't have been out of is Central Park!

    Gotta love the LA fans abandioning ship after the top of the 8th too - 1/4 of them were outta there including Mary Hart. Seeing her big head behind the plate until the 8th and nowhere to be found in the 9th - way to support th team all the way.

    Wrap it the f up tomorrow please - we need to do something easy and quick but this is not this teams mo. shut em down Cole and lets get to the series.

    Yes, there's trash everywhere. Yet it would be another "typical Philly fan" here. Again, whatever - I love how people get so annoyed and pissed when Philly's in the limelight.

    so true. it's funny how people think philly fans are the only ones that don't "embrace" opposing fans in our stadiums. definitely gets more attention here than anywhere.

    yay phils! i will admit i was ready to call it a night at the beginning of the eighth. wow, what a great ending!!! i prefer a win like that because it shows they have a winning mindset to rally from behind on the road with that kind of win. now just imagine how dangerous we can be if the big bats start hitting!

    It's very true that Phils fans get a bad rap. When I went to Game 1, there were about 4 Dodgers fans in my section and other than a few sit down a-hole chants you're blocking the game when the Dodgers took a 2-0 lead there was no abuse of any kind. No Dodgers suck chants, no f the Dodgers chants, the crowd was just very, very positive. There were a ton of Manny, Manny chants and Get a haircut chants but that's it.

    I have to say if anything I had never been more impressed with a Philly crowd than in Game 1 of the NLCS.

    Word to that - I was there as well, and at McFadden's afterwards people were buying Dodgers fans shots to take away the edge. But more than anything, I have NEVER felt a Philly crowd so positive when losing. Kinda strange isn't it??

    If Hamels gives us what he did in both game 1's - we should be alright. Billingsley likes to throw heat, so I think this may be when Howard gets out of his home run slump.

    Gotta give the Phillies credit for coming back the way they did. When Victorino homered in the 8th it completely sucked the life out of the crowd at Dodger Stadium; Matt Stairs' home run a few batters later was like a death knell. Can't do much except give the Phils props and say that it's not over till it's over.

    In terms of the drunk, asshole Dodgers fans...sadly, that happens everywhere. It's one of the things that I would love to see the league and individual teams start to clean up. I have been to tons of games at tons of stadiums and I can attest that it does, indeed, happen everywhere. It just so happens that in rivalry games and playoff games -- where the passion is intensified -- it is worse. :(

    But on the positive side, I was sitting in the outfield right next to the Dodgers' bullpen. I got to the stadium very early to watch batting practice and when it was the Phillies' turn the Dodgers fans in my area were very courteous. A few Phillies (Pat Burrell, Cole Hamels, Pedro Feliz) even came over and signed autographs or handed out baseballs. So not all baseball fans are assholes.

    The best part about this is I've been to Dodger Stadium and it's like this all the time. Everyone in the stands are either celebrities, or convict gangbangers(ala all the chinos with tat's all over them - sorry, but this is a sports thread and political correctness FLYS out the window). And didn't ya love how they left in DROVES after the Phils took a 7-5 lead??? Gotta beat that LA traffic even though your team's only down by 2 runs. Just get your stupid singing in and then take off. Yeah, LA's got some reeeal die hard fans.

    like a fucking loser i went to bed in the 7th after Utley struck out. i was SO tired. wake up this morning in a pissed off mood and my bride said, "well maybe they won". relutantly i turned on ESPN news and saw the end of the ticker.... Phillies lead series 3-1. made my day, let me tell you.

    days off in the middle of a series (in the same city) is stooopid and needs to stop. Mike Greenburg said it well this morning, "baseball is built around momentum".

    All I know is IF we get past LA tonight, I am fucking worried about Tampa Bay. I mean two out of the 4 games so far they absolutely DESTROYED Boston. And I think we have home field advantage too - I guarantee an onslaught of Philly fans in Tampa.(Once again knocking on wood that we even make it to the WS)

    I'm just sayin that's another reason for them to not have anything to lose. Plus, there's the old...oh I don't know....Tampa over Eagles in NFC Championship...Tampa over Flyers in Conference Final....How ridiculous would that be that Tampa will have 3 championships because of beating us?!!?

    gonna kill myself if Tampa wins the World Series - they've already won the Super Bowl and Stanely Cup and we haven't won in 25 years. That Eagles-Tampa Bay NFC Championship game still hurts - that was our title because the Raiders just weren't that good.

    uhh just wrap this fucker up tonight - the stress of Myers in game 6 might kill me.

    at some point Rollins and/or Howard is due for a dominating game though - hopefully tonight.

    Second the first part. I know the whole country will be rooting for Tampa for the underdog part(even though they're not), and because people despise Philly. But whatever.

    And yeah, I mean the lower end of the lineup can't carry this team forever. Jimmy's gotta know his role and just get on base. Score early is the key to this game.
