I really wanted the cherished 2 numbers knocked off the magic number thing last night. Still 5.5 up with 11/12 to go means we shouldn't need your help, but it won't be turned away.

if we help you guys then you have to help us by kicking ass and beating out arizona so we can play them in the 1st round instead of you guys.

you can have the DBags

yep because individual playoff MVP awards are so important and tell us so much :roll:

including the 09 NLCS, he's stuck out in 34 of his last 71 playoff ABs...48%. THta's pretty awful, even for him. He will get the occasional big hit, but the big picture isn't pretty.

Hopefully he can help them this year come playoff time. He has killed them the last two playoff series that they were eliminated in. The dipshit manager needs to give him some time off leading up to the playoffs so he can rest his foot and be 100% come playoff time.

I'd love to see the dumb ass move utley up to the 2 hole. He's having a terrible year...like howard, he's just not the same hitter he used to be.

rollins
utley
pence
howard
vic
crust/mayberry platoon
ruiz
polanco (who has suddenly morphed into pedro feliz with less power)

won't happen, but that's what I'd do.

pjhawks is one end of the spectrum. the other end just came back from vacation.

he won that "individual playoff MVP award" because he was clutch and was their most important player of that series. amazing how you can overlook that. :roll:

and in the giants series, as was laid out to you last time this was discussed, howard (while clearly not at his best) was the only one consistently hitting the ball and getting on base:

Shane Victorino: .208/.296/.250
Placido Polanco: .250/.360/.350
Chase Utley: .182/.333/.227
Ryan Howard: .318/.400/.500
Jayson Werth: .222/.375/.611
Jimmy Rollins: .261/.320/.304
Raul Ibanez: .211/.250/.263
Carlos Ruiz: .167/.318.333


so again--it's funny that he's been such a good pinch hitter throughout his career. but dude's always been clutch (with the exception of the last at bat against the giants and the 09 ws )

so the game winning pinch-hit in extra-innings last nigght and the pinch-hit double tonight in the 9th to set up the tie were meaningless? wow ok. i guess he could be still be starting with his bad foot if his team was up like 50 fucking games :roll:

You love the word meaningless. Of course its not "meaningless" but when you have a $25 million first baseman, the last thing I would be bragging about is his ability to pinch hit.

Well, here goes nothing. Nothing like a Dogfish Head Punkin (which I don't think is as good as last year) at 8 am.

god i hope pj hawk was being facetious. never can be sure with that guy. but it is pretty funny how good howard has been as a pinch hitter over the years. guy's always been clutch.

boozing it up at 8am?..oh temple/psu right? awesome day for it. enjoy

Yeah, man. Great day, a blast down there. Penn State sucks though.
