DAMNIT! I got a 159 out of 180. I expect better from myself! There was some blatantly easy ones that I just blanked on.

That's sweet though.

Where is everybody? I was expecting all sorts of outrage over the wave in the 8th inning.

Nice game for Joe the Pitcher. Magic Number 3 - should be 2 pretty soon!

Have I mentioned that I love chase utley? That slide was great, he smeared that mf'er. Apparently pelfrey was running his mouth from the dugout. He's near the top of my hate list with reyes and arod.

I liked how Jerry Manuel said "That's how we did it." So funny that he's on such a totally different wavelength than his team.

one of the greatest quotes in the history of the franchise. that was great.

let's clinch tonight damn it!----figures i have to work late and won't see it though :roll:


does anyone have the slightest bit of apprehension that clinching division/home field early and thus the ensuing rest for the regulars might have a negative impact? our offense can go into a slumber at the drop of the hat. maybe i'm just being a little overly nervous here...

yes a bit Jaegs - with the 1st series only being best of 5 a slump could be deadly. I think if the Phils are going to lose in the NL it is going to be the 1st round rather than NLCS.

so who would you rather face the Padres or Giants? I think I want to face the Padres mostly because other than Gonzalez their lineup sucks. Plus I want no part of playing in San Francisco with their screwed up weather. what are your guys thoughts?

Johnny Abruzzo

There was an article on espn last week that debunked the myth of momentum going into the playoffs. It doesn't mean anything. There are quite a few of World Champions who went into the playoffs with dreadful losing streaks. Get everyone ready for the playoffs and don't worry about this week, after the clinching, of course.

Yep, Chase is awesome.

I agree with everything here. Most important thing going into the playoffs is to have your rotation set up however they prefer, which the phils will be able to do.

As for who I want them to play...I don't think it matters. I guess if I had to pick one team I wouldn't want them to play it would be SF, but that lineup is atrocious...and the phils always seem to struggle in SF (even though they don't play there often). They never lose in SD and they always seem to kick the reds asses.

anyone know what the magic number is to clinch the 1 seed?

I believe it's 2 to beat the Giants, 1 to beat the Reds.

just got my playoff tix. hopefully they get to the WS, I have 106, row 19 for game 1. 205 row 4 for NCLS game 5 and 315 row 7 for NLDS game 5. I'm fine with the seats they gave me, just disappointed with what games I got stuck with.

I understand that I can't get the seats I have for the regular season (106), but I feel like I should get something at least a little bit similar to those. Not freakin Section 428. Ridiculous.

division champs. 4 consecutive years. impressive

now the wait for next wednesday begins...

I think I'm wrong. It's just 1 to beat the Padres or Giants. We just need to get a tie with either of them.

Phillies get tiebreaker over Padres based on head-to-head record (5-2).

Phillies tied head-to-head vs. Giants (3-3), but the 2nd tiebreaker is "intra-division record." Phillies went 22-10 vs. NL West & Giants went 19-14 vs. NL East, so I think Phils get tiebreaker. Of course, I might be misunderstanding that 2nd tiebreaker, but that sounds about right.

So anyway, win tonight (up 4-0!) and Phils have homefield advantage all the way through the playoffs!

my have we forgetting all these shit philly teams of the 90's and 00's. jealous of your pity 4 straight division champs and a world series loss to the yankees and a world series win, thats funny. no im jealous of the yankees 27 worlds series and 40 pennats. when you get half of that then i'll be little jealous. it was a dickhead move by utley. if he woulda done that in the 60's-80's, he woulda beaned right square in the skull. today their all buddy buddy and unionized. least utley had class and asked if teajda was ok.
