    I'm just saying I really don't care. I like them playing 5 in a row actually. Stay loose and warmed up. Hopefully it doesn't get that far and Cole gets a chance to end it in game 5 if Moyer and Blanton come through.

    Oooh, you never cared to begin with..gotcha..

    One. However, if there is any folding to do, then all twenty-five show up. :D

    I'll give you that one :)..

    So is anyone else heading to any games this weekend? I will definitely be at game 5, and am working on game 4 tickets at the moment.

    Okay, just found out that on Sunday McFadden's will be CLOSED to the public starting 4 and will reopen at 5 for people who HAVE tickets to the game and that's it.

    No surprise there.. I would expect the same for Saturday and Monday...

    and I would be surprised if parking was below $20..

    And as for last night, what can I say.. Myers pitched a so-so game but the ineptness with RISP is amazing. And Howard needs to take a half step closer to the plate.. they're pitching him on that outside corner and he can't reach it from where he's standing.

    It was $12 for the NLCS. I don't think even the Phils could justify raising it that much in a week and a half. ;)

    My little sister just won an infield ticket near the Phillies dugout for tomorrow at work. I'm so psyched for her. She works for the company that makes Super Pretzels and the Phils gave the company a couple of pairs for each game and she won a company raffle for a single ticket.

    They Rays doubled their parking prices for the World Series :) And with the Phils and Eagles and Flyers down there this weekend, there's money to be made... although thinking about that, they couldn't jack the price up for everyone so it could stay at $12.

    How doesn't that make sense? People get out of the game around 4 then want to double dip by watching the game at McFadden's. How does that not make sense?

    Ok so after 5 only ticketholders can get into McFadden's meaning that there will be virtually no one in McFadden's once the game starts.. that's what doesn't make sense.

    Also, what are they going to do with the Flyers fans who want to double dip after the Devils game on Saturday?? Similar situation with the Flyers finishing before 8....

    I got ya. I just know they're closing at 4 till 5 probably so no one can get in right after the game.

    gotcha... because the website specifically states that you can watch all Phils games there (home and away) without a ticket to the game...

    You can, but only up till 4. I'm not quite sure if you can at 8:35 when the game starts.

    This is being done by Phillies security and not McFadden's staff.

    Alright I didnt expect them to take both in TB but when you could have its a little frustrating

    RISP and Runners on 3rd with less than 1 out...how do you not score these runs

    They better get that turned around and quick

    If Saturday is rained out would they go ahead and start Hamels in game 4 on full rest ?

    I think they would because then they can start Myers at home in Game 5.

    That said - have a good weekend though I'm sure I'll be on here tomorrow (and probably later tonight.) ;)

    Go Phils!

    maybe next game we can have the bases loaded w/ nobody out and not score a run. that's be awesome.

    someone tell Vic to not swing at the first pitch. seems like it's always a popup. and why was Dobbs the DH? why not Stairs? that guy looked lost at the plate.

    Joe Buck and the rest of the FOX Sports losers should all be fired. they basically told us the Phillies were losers all throughout the pregame.

    Not to be nit picky, but if the Moyer play was called an out, then a double, and two groundball outs - no runs would have scored.

    That said, let's go Phils here!

    Why does this guy pitch off the ground?
    Is that normal?
    Haven't watched pro ball in a while but it's driving me crazy!
    Pitch like a man damn it! lol
    Guess he did what he's gotta do though, ugh!

    He's got a chapter in Moneyball about him. When he pitched normally, he was too wild and and gave up a lot of homers.

    He developed his unorthodox throwing method and it got him from the minors to the big leagues.

    The crazy thing is he's 6'5" and when he throws like that his knuckles literally scrape the mound.

    It's got to be hard to pick up the ball from him.
