And what does all of this tell you? Nada. Wait and see fellas, am sure you are getting anxious but you guys obviously have the best shot at it.
Yea I think that was the whole point. So many good teams have disappointed in this city. But it happens everywhere - even some great Yankees teams came up short in the end.
I'm worried Charlie will screw it up. I think he really got outfoxed by Bochy last year. What teams have a big strategic manager advantage over the Phillies? I say strategic because I think Charlie does a great job with day-to-day motivation and team chemistry, which is probably 80% of a baseball manager's job. Of course a lot of these other guys are exactly geniuses either.
I'd say the Giants (obviously), maybe the Tigers (we wanted Leyland, right?) & Brewers (who's their mgr?). I really don't know much about Kirk Gibson as a strategy guy. He seems to manage their bullpen well.
I think Charlie stacks up fine strategically against the managers of the Braves (he's awful), Yankees (the binder), Red Sox (he'll prob start Darnell McDonald) & Rangers (the thoroughly confused Ron Washington).

2003 Yankees come to mind.
Yeah, you think? I am not of the thought that managers have THAT much of a role in a series so long as they manage their bullpen well. Maybe they have more in the NL but unless they make a terrible pitching decision, I don't feel like they can win or lose a series for you. You could be right though.
Agreed on your brief analysis of each though. I like Girardi a whole lot more than the majority of Yankees fans. I haven't noticed the binders as much this year, I could just be so used to it that I don't notice though.
Edit: And from your description I feel like Manuel sounds like a poor mans Torre. He was great at the motivation and day to day stuff but his best work as a manager and their most agressive years strategically I feel like were while Zimmer was there.
Since Fixer likes to talk about the Phillies so so records against good teams, I thought everyone would find this interesting:
Thanks to a pitching staff that is even better than expected -- and expectations were high -- the Philadelphia Phillies are in the midst of an all-time great season. The Phils are currently on pace for 105 wins, which would tie them for ninth on the National League single-season wins list.
With a 7 1/2-game lead in the NL East, the Phillies are on cruise control and can start looking ahead to the playoffs. While the Phils' offense is merely average (seventh in the NL in runs), their starting pitching, led by Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels, makes them clear favorites to reach the World Series.
However, when examining the Phils' 2011 resume, there is one aspect of their performance that raises questions about their postseason chances. To succeed in October, it would stand to reason that you need to be able to beat the best. However, much of the Phillies' gaudy record is based upon the fact that they have beaten up on the worst teams.
According to Baseball-Reference.com, the Phillies are 36-11 against teams with a winning percentage below .470. That .766 winning percentage against such clubs is by far the best in baseball. The New York Yankees, at 26-10 (.722), have the next best mark against sub.-470 teams. (I chose .470 as the cutoff because that is the winning percentage of teams that finish the season 10 games under .500.) In fact, if that .766 winning percentage holds, it would be the fourth-best mark against sub-.470 teams of the wild card era, just ahead of the 2001 Seattle Mariners, who set the record for regular season wins before flaming out in the ALCS.
But when playing teams on pace to finish at least 10 games over .500 (.530 winning percentage), the Phillies are just 16-16. That's the sixth-best record in baseball against such clubs, and worse than their NL East rivals the Atlanta Braves. Who fares the best against .530-plus teams? That would be the Boston Red Sox, who are 24-15.
This seems like bad news for the Phillies, because one would think a potential World Series champ would have more success against the league's best. To see if there is any truth to that hypothesis, I went back to see how the last 10 World Series champs fared against the sub-.470 and .530-plus clubs. In theory, the World Series champs should consistently perform well against the good teams, and that would be an indicator of postseason success.
Past 10 World Series Champions
YEAR TEAM Win pct against sub-.470 teams Win pct against .530-plus teams
2010 Giants .714 .426
2009 Yankees .691 .566
2008 Phillies .686 .482
2007 Red Sox .676 .517
2006 Cardinals .557 .440
2005 White Sox .742 .510
2004 Red Sox .698 .567
2003 Marlins .638 .484
2002 Angels .743 .451
2001 D-backs .655 .494
As it turns out, that's not really the case at all. The World Series champs, with the exception of the 2006 Cardinals, have all beat the snot out of the sub-.470 clubs, and even the Cards fared pretty well. The champs' performance against the .530-plus clubs, however, has varied widely. Just last year, the Giants had the best record in baseball against the sub-.470 teams (35-14), but the 15th-best mark (20-27) versus the .530-plus.
It's not surprising that the World Series champs would beat up on the bad teams. The ability to do so consistently, in fact, is typically the sign of a strong team. However, you would expect World Series champs to fare well against good squads during the regular season, and that hasn't happened this century.
In fact, beating up on the weaklings seems to be a better indicator of postseason success. To wit: the 1998 New York Yankees, the team many consider the best in recent history, went 52-12 against sub-.470 teams, which is the best mark of the wild card era.
If recent history is any guide, the Phils' remarkable record against poor squads says more about their title chances than their pedestrian record against good teams. So if you want nit-pick something regarding their World Series hopes, you'll have to look elsewhere.
been trying to say this all year...fallen on deaf ears though:

As Cliffy said, we are anxious. Some of us are traumatized by seeing the Flyers go from one of the two best teams in the NHL in February (the hockey equivalent of August) to getting destroyed by Boston in the 2nd round this past year. These seasons are really long.

It's a culmination of 34 years of losing. 2008 was great, but for me that was an aberration. I didn't know what to do with myself. I always expect the worst and hope for the best with the philly teams...it's tough not to
Cautious optimism
EDIT: and for the record nothing compares to the 2000 flyers. that was by far the worst thing I have witnessed as a philly sports fan

i made a deal with myself back in the spring to just enjoy every minute of this season because it's something we may never see again...at this point though, i'm kinda hoping we can hit the fast forward button about 6 weeks.
'08 really changed the way i look at these teams of ours. i'm not as scared/worried/fretful about the season ending like so many have in the past as i was before.
fantastic article about the dipshit manager's pitching staff management and 9th inning strategy (or lackthereof). Agree with what was said earlier about manuel's ability to manage the clubhouse, but strategically he is among the worst managers in baseball IMO. I have always felt like the phils win more in spite of him than because of him.

just remembered you aren't a flyers fan. that actually helps explain why you tend to be more optimistic than the rest of us.

plenty of misery to go round in this town, that's for damn sure.....don't think i'm alone with my feelings from '08 though. and going through the best season, up to this point, in the team's 128 year history doesn't hurt the optimism either.

It's only the best season in their history if they win it all. Otherwise it's just another disappointment

i edited it after you started typing yours to say "up to this point."
Of course I'm glad that they are winning, but I'm probably not enjoying it as much as I should be. After the way last year ended...combined with them getting lee and pence...anything short of a WS title is going to be a letdown.
They had best record in MLB last year too. That doesn't mean anything to me.
I guess it comes down to the fact that being the favorite to win it all kinda sucks. Cool to have a loaded squad to root for, but the high expectations kinda sets us up for disappointment...as anything less than a title means this team came up short (like last year)

ah, I hated that cocksucker. 1995 ECF. I remember exactly where I was when that happened. I was in disbelief. I still can't believe that went in. Wasn't that game 5? That series was crazy. Flyers lost first two at home, won next two on road. Pretty sure game 5 was the lemeiux goal.
fuckin flyers
Yes it was
That was brutal..of all cock suckers to score
Low to the glove side..Love Hextall but never forget
:x
