Flypaste Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 It is going to take 27 Outs!!! Man, what a great win! One gripe from last night; The home crowd appeared to be a non-factor after the 4th inning and it is my understanding that people were actually leaving during a one run game to "beat traffic"... Shameful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowboutthemCowboys Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 (edited) Definitley in deep water now. Brutal. Did'nt determine the outcome, but my God that plate umpire sucked last night.

( for both teams) spell edit he sure had a small strike zone for sure but I will say I thought he was very consistent with it for both teams (like you pointed out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorttynaz Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) It should be an exciting series!! I did however see a stat today on Sportscenter that showed that this is the 3rd time in history that the NLCS is a rematch of the year before. The first 2 times, the team that won the series the previous year won again. Looks like history has repeated itself once again.. Don't really have a favorite in the soon to be world series, but I always root for the underdog. As much as I'd like to see the Phillies repeat, I say the Yankee's take them in 6 (granted they haven't clinched yet, but lets not fool ourselves here - Anaheim isn't gonna come back). I think this will be the best WS since the 2001 series when Arizona beat the Yanks.. Edited October 22, 2009 by Shorttynaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorttynaz Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Not really trying to rub anything in cause the Dodgers had a hell of a season, but I think it's kinda fitting that the team that needed Cliff Lee MORE than anyone else did, lost a shot at the WS to the team who went and make a play for him.. Good Luck Phillies. Great season Dodgers!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Luck Phillies. Great season Dodgers!! I know that when the Dodgers traded for Sherril(sp?) from Balt I was a bit miffed because I thought the Phils could use his help to get to the Series..surprisingly he still sorta helped to get them there.

i_am_the_swammi Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Great game. Should be fun the rest of the series. +1 It was definitely a fun rest of the series yo, how u doin'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menudo Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Did you see the Phillies fans waving those towels around. How "terribly" original............... Seriously, congrats. That is one hell of a team they've got there. What impresses me the most is how there guys continue to come through in clutch situations. All the talk will be about the Yankees, but, I think the best team in baseball resides in Philadelphia again this year, and I think they will repeat. Phillies in 6. Now, try to win something in the most important sport.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keggerz Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 Congrats phillies fans, the better team for sure Now, go burn a cab or something. thanks and I have to ask if you noticed what I did...when they asked Joe about the series and stuff he kept saying "they were the better team this week"....what sorta crap is that? Joe is a classy guy but come on now....this week? I have never heard another coach say that...they give props..."they were the better team" etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowboutthemCowboys Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 +1 It was definitely a fun rest of the series yo, how u doin'? Was a good series and the Dodgers had a great year. The Phillies just have a better team right now. Not sure why you feel the need to rub salt , maybe losing to the Raiders does that to some people. Oh, and I'm doin' fine.

HowboutthemCowboys Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 you just did the same thing...Phils are not getting the respect they deserve, imo and I sure hope that continues that way thru the series JMO but I think you guys are too defensive. Look, at times this year the Dodgers were playing better than the Phils. At times, the Phils were playing better than the Dodgers. At times the Cards were playing better than both of them. The Phillies have a really good team and they're playing really well right now. They've been the hottest team in the National League lately. You posted yourself that you thought game 4 was a must win for the Phils b/c it'd be tie with 2 games left in L.A. If Broxton had'nt blown it in that game would you still feel that the Phils deserve as much respect as you feel they do now? Again, props to the Phils, I think they're undoubtedly the best team in the National League right now. And they beat the Dodgers hands down, the Dodgers did'nt lose it, the Phils beat them.

I think there is something to be said for the ebb and flow of a series and that was why I felt game 4 was so important...I do see your point but still think that the Phils are being somewhat overlooked, right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorttynaz Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I'm a baseball fan (Dbacks) but as someone with no pull either way - I personally think that the Phillies are getting PLENTY of respect. Regardless of who they face in the WS (it's gonna be the Yanks) I'm starting to feel more and more confident that the Phillies will repeat. Better starting rotation - better bullpen, and just as (if not more) deadly of a lineup. Respect or no respect - the Phillies are definitely good, and IMO were the best in the NL regardless of records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
