holy shit....saturday's game might be 4:00????????????????

i have pre-cana for my wedding until fucking 6. :x

When My wife and I had that I told a lie...

The priest asked me if I had been going to chrurch every Sunday I said Yes...

He said "Well, you better get on Kristin then because she said she doesn't go every Sunday.."

:twisted:

Of course I hadn't gone to church for years

We had our wedding at a country club. Ceremony was outside and lasted about 10 minutes.

No religion for this guy. Not sure I even believe in god. The entire concept of there being something that watches everything you do is too similar to santa claus.

Had to go to my nephew's christening this past sunday. I just don't get it

Or second. :roll: When did we sign Chuck Knoblauch?

yeah, utley has been fighting himself all series. he's like ozzie smith compared to the first baseman though.

chase just looks like he's pressing. he's in his own head.

crazy, im guessing Ozzie Smith never made 7 errors in a 23 game span let alone in the playoffs. total choke in the 1st last night by Chase, easy play. insanity to call him ozzie smith compared to anyone. 7 errors in 23 playoff games is atrocious as i said the other day. That being said Howard has been awful as well. He had a stretch last year where he was better catching the ball but has now reverted back. it's like tying to catch with a frying pan sometimes. i guess the only good thing is we don't have to watch him throw.

Huff cost them the game last night though. brutal error and swinging 2-0 against Romero with Posey on deck. Some guys just don't want to walk. Absolutey no way Romero throws 3 strikes in 4 pitches from that point - would have had tying run on 2nd with best hitter up. awful by Huff.

Catholic weddings are especially bad. Couple's wedding I was at last week, which I thought was going to impede with my Phils watching, was absolutely phenomenal. Wedding on the beach, took 5 minutes. Cocktail hour, boom. Walk into reception hall, three speaches down like that. All done by 630/7.

Catholics - along with their hypocricies(it's okay, I can say this shit because not only it's true but I had to sit through 13 years of that catholic school nonsense), like to draw things out.

I agree. At least Utley can hit the ball over the fence.

Wow, we're getting deep. I'm waiting for the questions - when are you gonna christen him? I want him to know what's going on when he gets baptized. I think the baby christening thing is stupid. Don't think my wife agrees with me, but I am putting up passive resistance.

Back to baseball:

Howard did make a spectacular play catching that line drive. Huff is not a good hitter, but hardly anyone on the Giants is a good hitter. It's still shocking that they've won 3 games in this series.

How about that damn line drive double play by Gload. Looked like we might break it open there. Nobody's mentioned that play in anything I've read today. A little more luck and I could see a blowout win tomorrow.

marriage is all about picking your battles. Just do your friends and family a favor and try not to schedule that type of stuff at 1:00 when the eagles are on (I was getting all kinds of texts about the jackson hit during on sunday -- I didn't pay much attention to what the priest was saying).

I wouldn't call the howard play spectacular. at least he caught the ball though.

I love gload. he always gives you a solid AB. that was awful luck. and I wanted to punch the TV when lincecum started yelling when he was walking off the mound. I don't like that little queer.

I hope you're right about a blowout. Phils don't hit sanchez though, so that is gonna be tough. Like I said before, just put the ball in play and the giants will kick it around. With Huff, Sandoval, Burrell, and Uribe (who has pulled some nice plays out of his ass somehow) the giants are awful in the field.

Last time a lefty was on the mound with this much pressure on him at The Bank was CC in '08. And we all know how that worked out.

FenwayFaithful

Let's go Phillies. Please don't let the fucking Giants go to the World Series. I'm pulling for you guys this weekend!

every ws game is pressure

i know you're still new to this whole baseball playoff deal...but every game is HUGE

jamminpearls

The heart this team has is so big theres no scale that can but a number on it. Lets keep this going,still feel that were making too many mistakes,all around. Chase needs to wake up and remember he's Chase Utley,hopefully are bats keep putting the ball in play. Werth yesterday guaranteed that he will be a rich rich man somewhere else next year with the hit and throw. Heres to a complete comeback GO PHILS!!!!!!!!!!!!

No reason to get condescending, buddy. If the figurative image of the experience of watching/playing baseball of me compared to you was us running on a track, I'd still be lapping you.

My point is I don't give a f-u-c-k about the Yanks or the high horse their fans ride on.

buddy of mine has 2 extra tickets for tomorrow. section 304. Not sure how much he wants for them. PM me if you're interested.

I replied, but it takes 24 hours for my PMs to send for some reason. If you still have my cell number just text me. otherwise PM me your email address or I can just update you in this thread.

I reached out to my buddy. He has the tix on stubhub for a ridiculous amount. I'm trying to talk some sense into him. The number you threw out there sounds reasonable to me.

good game, fuckers :evil:

we let one slip away. I won't blame it but the umpiring is still shit. if we get the lead runner at third, you guys are screaming "it's a foul fucking ball!"...as it is, we're screaming "it's a foul fucking ball!" :? :roll:

all I know is.....this is a far better game than that AL DH bullshit!

Honestly, that call was completely in favor of the Giants. They just fucked up the play is all.

you're right...they did. but if they had made the play, you guys would be going nuts instead of me thinking "what if halladay doesn't get the bunt down, pops up or strikes out?" my only point is....shitty umpiring, once again :evil: it was a game my boys didn't deserve to win....but could have. pretty much the same for every game except #2 :?

Yeah, we have a christening this Sunday at 1. Ridiculous.

Yeah, Lincecum - that was a great fucking pitch that was slammed down the rightfield line, and you got lucky that it hit Huff's glove. Lucky play, just like that team's been this whole series.

If we lose this series it will haunt this city for a long time. Absolutely atrocious lineup keeps getting random timely hits. Os & Cole better hold these scrubs down in the water where they should be.

Of course I'd be going nuts. We'd have gotten fucked into a double play. As it stands, it was simply a sac bunt, which isn't a bad result for either team. My only point is that the Giants have nothing to complain about from that play.
