Great outing by Lee, lets see if Mr 2008 World Series MVP can match it.

Let's hope he's not wearing long sleeves

I didn't see any of the game..did Charlie use every pitcher like it was a game 5 ?

I guess with the Day off he assumed he can use 2 starters

Pedro in game 3 and back to Lee for game 4 ?

I think you may see a combo of Blanton and Pedro if Pedro starts. I would go with Joey B. He only threw a total of 40 pitches approximately if you include warming up in the 'pen. In 30 degree weather I want the dude with more jiggle to his jog.

Oh, the crowd was ABSOLUTELY WEAK up until a rally started compared to Wednesday. Ridiculous.

Hopefully now that Cole's kid has popped out he'll be more focused because there can be absolutely no excuse for that performance yesterday other than that. And he better stay off the curveball - he doesn't put it in the dirt, he hangs them right over the plate. And not to take away the blame from this lineup for most of the game too.... Hopefully the cold affects the douches in purple more than us....

if Blanton or Happ doesn't start Game 3 Charlie is a moron - you cannot go into game 3 of a 5 game playoff series with your 5th starter starting the game.

and what moron schedules a 7:30 pm game in Colorado in October? 29 degrees and possible snow showers. If the Rockies do beat the Phils I hope they make the Series so we can have a World Series game snowed out. Putting an outdoor stadium in Denver and next year one in Minnesota - good idea guys.

couldn't agree more about the crowd. WEAK!! I felt like I was at a funeral. People were actually telling me to sit down when I would get up and start clapping when a Colorado hitter had two strikes. It was like everyone there was at their first baseball game.

baseball should be played outside, regardless of the weather. domes suck

i agree for the most part about domes but you can't play baseball in 29 degree weather and snow - it's stupid. those cities should have retractable domes like Milwaukee.

Retractable roofs - places where it's too hot doesn't make sense, but places where it's too cold does.

Anybody who was at the game yesterday NOT making a shit load of noise are dead to me. Make me ashamed to be a Philly fan. If I wanted to wait for the players to do something first I'd go to a Dodgers game - of course it's easier to cheer when you're not needed. Win one fucking World Series and the fucking place goes soft - BUSH LEAGUE.

and the towels are fucking stupid too. I wanted to throw a baseball at the video screen every time I saw that thing telling people to make noise or wave their towels. it makes us look like an expansion team city or pittsburgh. and I don't want to be affiliated with either one.

Meh, I don't mind the towels too much - it can screw with the batter's eye since their white so I see an advantage there. I just wish people were as loud yesterday as they were on Wednesday. Yesterday had bad written all over it. All we can hope for now is to take one of these two games and get the fuck back to Philly. I'd go Lee in game 4 and Hamels in Game 5 - Hopefully Cole has his concentration back by then.

Not saying Lee can't do it, but he's never pitched on 3 days rest in the majors.

I know, but this series is going to make me bite my nails away if they don't win this game tomorrow night. If they don't win Saturday night, then I think you HAVE to go that route.

unfortunately when you win you start to attract 'quasi-fans' who are there to be seen and to just say then went to the game and not live and die with each pitch. it's bad enough during the regular season when only about 25% of the crowd is actually watching the game. to do that during a playoff game sucks i agree.

It's Pedro. Start praying now....

booomm11

The Phils are fine, the Cards and Sox are not.

Confident in Pedro, he will give them 5 2/3 strong. Blaton will come in again to pitch the 6th & 7th. Phils bats are heating up. No reason this thing doesnt... at the least, come back to Philly.

I think Charlie should drop the team off in the mountains for the night, let the guys get acclimated before saturday nights game.

Seriously, all this cold weather talk is driving me nuts! The Rockies don't wanna play in that shit either!

maybe but the Rockies aren't starting their 5th freakin' starter either - got to love Charlie taking the Phils strength of much better starting pitching away by using our 3rd and 4th starters in relief in the same game.

The Juggler

and we'll see you tomorrow night.

game 3 is postponed till sunday night.

fucking 10:07pm.....works to our advantage though. now we can throw happ and lee on regular rest for game 4. i have a hunch cholly will still trot pedro out there tomorrow though....


GO CHAMPS!

Happ will get the start tomorrow night.

Charlie did go a little crazy with his relief, but he lucked out with the game being PPD.

How you feel with Happ starting?

Think the Phils' bats go off tonight!
