    Creed....CREED....CREED.....CREEEEEEEEEED!!!

    Yup, "Gonna Fly Now" and "Going The Distance" are playing in my head.

    BEAT LA BEAT BEAT LA BEAT LA BEAT LA

    can't believe manuel is throwing pedro is game 2...dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb. now he would be slated to throw games 2 and 6. I would feel much more confident with blanton starting those 2 games.

    I don't understand the confidence in pedro...he has pitched once in the last month and he isn't that good to begin with.

    makes zero sense to me.

    at least they left kendrick off the roster

    I don't understand it either - why start your 5th starter in game 2? Blanton was damn good for almost the whole season as a starter and was good in the playoffs last year. I just don't get it.

    especially with the weather forecast this weekend/early next week in philly. you only start pedro in game 4 if you HAVE to!! they might have gotten lucky with another weather cancellation and not have to throw him at all!!

    SO DUMB!!!!

    Easy, fellas. I don't mind Pedro in game 2. If you look at how the schedule is set up, Cole will pitch game 6 and Lee 7 when you look at the days off and everything. Even if that's not how it plays out, you're still going to have Cole and Lee pitch twice (4 of the 7 games).

    If your choice is between Blanton or Pedro, I think it's negligible. Plus, can you really criticize anything Cholly's done so far? In Fuq I trust.

    you're right, manuel has probably earned the benefit of the doubt. but I think this decision is incomprehensibly stupid. I would argue that pedro shouldn't even be on the playoff roster, let alone the game 2 starter. blanton is the far safer (and better) choice to start games 2 and 6.

    if you want pedro to start a game, fine...he should be throwing game 4.

    I don't see how anyone can have confidence in a guy that has pitched once in the last month. Especially when he wasn't pitching that well to begin with!!

    I'm a true philly fan, I need something to bitch about

    Hey, as long as we come outta LA with a split I'll be elated.

    If Pedro is fully healthy, which they're telling us he is, then I'm perfectly fine with this. The dude's a gamer, and I can't argue with his playoff resume'. I like Blanton too, but if you can bolster your pen by putting Joe in there to give you some velocity at the back end of the game then I'm for it. I really don't think it'll be a decision that crushes us....unless it's a blowout then the bitching can start. We'll be alright. I cannot fucking wait for this game tonight. And to have my dad call me about Mary Hart - "Why THE FUCK do they keep showing Mary Hart?!" Constantly last year I heard this from him. Along with, "Yeah, how ya like THAT, Mary Hart!?"

    I hope you're right...I am not feeling good about pedro in game 2 and potentially in game 6. I strongly disagree with that decision (as if you couldn't tell). hopefully it won't hurt the phils.

    haha, Mary Hart. I know that I'll be happy with Pat Sajack behind the plate...that towel waving turd in Denver was in my head. I couldn't stop watching him, even though he was driving me nuts
