NLCS: Phillies vs Dodgers

Re: NLCS: Phillies vs Dodgers

he's a .360 career hitter in the playoffs, and he somehow hits HRs in the POs. He's definitely been the Phils MVp so far this post-season. The timely hits, RBIs AND the great calling of the game.

Yea just like you said, He let's it all loose in October. Kind of an X Factor.

These teams make me want to puke.

Re: NLCS: Phillies vs Dodgers

You mean like Victorino after being picked off in the first inning? Then chirping with Russ, yeah, that was classy as well. Insert Clapping Smiley

Losing sucks, huh?

Seven more wins to repeat...

Carlos Ruiz is an October player, dude has been phenomenal this time of year.

Yeah, my friends and I were talking about him yesterday. And then last night he comes up big again.

Now you all know why Sherril was let go by the O's. He absolutely stinks in the pen. Anyways I don't see Vincente Padilla pulling off a win today. The Dodgers may be down 2-0 heading into the weekend.

At least they don't resort to doing the Manny BS stare down after they hit their bombs.

I love class.

I'll admit, that was a bit much. It looked like he was staring down the Phillies' bench for a while.

I have never, in seventeen years that this guy's pitched, uttered these words;

...Go Pedro Martinez.

Re: NLCS: Phillies vs Dodgers

I think the wild card of this game and potentially this series is Chan Ho Park....

If he can keep up his bullpen work from the season and this game 1, the phillies bullpen will go from shaky to decent.

Hamels just isn't himself. His stuff tonite was really good, but his cool veins have turned hot. He lost it in the dugout, and showed a lot of negative mannerisms throughout the game. You never see that from him the past 2-3 years. Hope he turns it around, but I just don't think we'll see the 7-8 IP 2 ER performance (last year's norm) out of him from here on out. If he manages 6 innings 3 runs from this point on, I will take it.

good win, and let's go pedro for tomorrow.

I agree with all of this.

Hamels isn't that stopper he was last year. When you put him on the mound in 2008, especially in the postseason, the game would really only be 2-3 innings because you knew he'd shut them down for the first 7. Now... I guess it's the same, because he's still good enough to pitch against anyone, but instead of shutting down the opposing team, you'll be tied when he's pulled.

Re: NLCS: Phillies vs Dodgers

I felt like Hamels did a pretty good job for you guys yesterday. He isn't as dominant this year as last year, but the ump did him no favors. And until that last inning, he was getting frustrated or anything. He just went there, handled his business.

Both pitchers looking sharp so far.

Man, Howard is on fire. The long ball is killing the Dodgers.

[Marino]

Re: NLCS: Phillies vs Dodgers

Howard is such a beast.

Re: NLCS: Phillies vs Dodgers

Man the Dodger batters are making Pedro look like the Pedro of old. If they swing at one more pitch up and pop up....

This game feels like a Sunday afternoon final game of a three game series... great scheduling by mlb. Four days off and then 2 games in less than 24 hours.
