Dodgers versus Phils

As far as I'm concerned, you need to keep from getting behind in this series. The Dodgers are a frontrunning team. This means if they get a few breaks etc., then they can look pretty good. A few bad breaks (like losing game 1 would be,) and their bats tend to go really cold, and their middle relief is not nearly as loyal in those situations. That's the biggest difference between the 2 teams (Dodgers do quit when they start to see it sliding away.) So, you can't start the mediocre Randy W in game 1. Got away with that average sht last series. He's nothing special. Kershaw needs to start game #1. Randy in game #2. Padilla/Kuroda etc. Leave that dogsht Billygirl at home. Use Garland if a starter can't get out of the early innings. The series will be determined by the start the Dodgers get. Same as last series did. If they get things going their way, they will be tough. A slow start for them will almost certainly lead to the Phillies rolling. The Dodgers are a streak team. Colorado reminded them exactly how to get beat by the Phils (pitch like a scared lil bitch trying to hit corners.) Street not only missed corners, but he also got pinched a couple times. If Broxton does that cute stuff, then he will also come down the middle and get destroyed. Throw strikes like a man who wants to challenge them, or you're going home. Get behind in the count, and you're going home.

Quite honestly, a lot depends on how ya boy Kershaw pitches. He needs to pitch like he did the Saturday before last. That stuff he got away with last Thursday isn't gunna be good enough. If he doesn't want to challenge them from the 1st pitch on, then they can probably forget it. That finesse bullsht needs to go.

He prevents the sweep

who cares that no one had them getting by St Louis. That is the past. This is gonna be a tough series. I say it goes 6 or 7 games and I wont predict a winner.

Chuck, the Colorado series was a LOT tougher after game one. We got a lil lucky there being able to crush Street like that. That and our batters are SO clutch. I'm hoping Manuel goes back to remembering how to coach, because it seemed to me like he coached a poor series with all the crazy pitching changes. Why the F do you take Cliff Lee out in the 8th last night? He was destroying the Rockies. It wasnt his fault there were runners on 1 & 2nd with 1 out, he got Helton to hit into a double play and Rollins errored. The inning should have either been over or a guy on 1st with 2 outs. And Charlie takes Lee out and Madson has a meltdown. How much you wanna bet if Charlie left Lee in that we would have got out of the inning without giving up any runs?

Happy for Lidge but I will not trust him at all for the remainder of his games. Glad his slider is working again though.

And no offense gales and Scuds, but I dont worry too much about Hamels when he is facing the Dodgers. He always pitches well against them and earlier this year I'm pretty sure he threw a complete game shutout against LA.. his best pitching performance of the year.

Dodgers= Phils' Pet Bitches

Coletti= Reuben's Amaro Jr.'s Bitch

Ned, you might try getting that Ace (Lee) next time, and stop arrogantly going with that piece of sht Broxton. Do that n' you'd of had a 4-3 series. Probably still lose the series 4-3, but ya got no chance with a woman closer, and no ace. Funny how he can't figure this out. These so called pro-executive types are pretty fkn thick. They "know better."

Its really been a consistent theme this postseason...
You have your good teams- Yankees and Phillies... and the other ones who look like they should be playing in Little League: Red Sox, Angels, Dodgers and Twins.

I guess we should all be pysched that the 2 best teams (by far) will be duking it out next week for the title.

The rest of the teams really have a lot of work to do or we could be looking at Yankees-Phillies World Series for many years to come.

I love the Phillies.

And Derek Jeter is the greatest player of all time too
