They can't live off the HR forever.[/quote] Well, they pretty much have all season long, so maybe... but I agree, it would be encouraging to us non-dodger fans if they could muster some offense without the long ball. I said it before, I'll say it again. The Phillies needed to win game 1. with all the momentum LA had coming in, plus the way some of the pitching matchups set up down the line, Philadelphia needed to take advantage of the Hamels start. Good for them that they did. San Francisco is cheering with you Phillies fans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got more losses as a team than, well, anyone, ever. And unlike the Cubs, the Phillies feign competence and competitiveness regularly, only to pull the rug out. They put something in the waters of the Schuylkill and Delaware Rivers that dashes hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smegma Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I got a small kick out of Boers and Bernstein's show on 670 the Score today, it's their "Cubs Vs. Phillies" pre-game extravaganza, complete with broadcasting from Wrigleyville and lots of tongue in cheek references to the "game at Wrigley" tonight, like waiting for Lou's lineup and pre-game call into the show. I'm sure there's even some Cubs fans out there that could find this stuff funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Cubs fans, good baseball fans, they get it too. Whether Sox fans want to believe it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I loved about this brodcast team was yesterday when Manny hit that homerun they made him sound like a hero, but when Utley Burrell hit their home runs in game one they mention how in Dodger Stadium they would have been outs. Well it look like Mannys did not even make it to the first row of seats unlike Utley and Burrells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatuous Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 [quote name='Weekapaug' post='1552162' date='Oct 11 2008, 08.50']MATSUWALKA![/quote] That was a fun first inning, wasn't it? I had visions of what Beckett did in ALDS game three but Matsuzaka did not walk a run in. Somehow. And still Beckett gets more respect than Matsuzaka does in the local media, probably the national media as well. "Can you name a better starting duo than Lester and Beckett?" I do not have high hopes for game 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously he doesn't have his stuff.[/quote] Nor does most of Boston's bullpen, really. It's important to get innings out of their starters, and if he can get through six, that'd be useful for them; they can preserve their relievers for game 3 and especially game 4 up in Boston. They can afford to gamble a little like that, since they've already secured a split in Tampa, and they're already trailing in this game. I imagine if they vault into the lead, they'll pull Beckett posthaste. ETA: ... and, while I was haphazardly writing that post up, Boston came back to tie it, and still have only 1 out in the inning. Not so sure we'll see Beckett again next inning. But he did retire three in a row last inning, so maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
