First off.. we are the defending World Champions. You kinda have to be a good baseball team to win the World Series. If you want to believe they only won because every other team in baseball choked.. then whatever.
Phillies bats are cold right now. Consider yourself lucky maybe? The most powerful offense in baseball.. blew 18 saves and still was NEVER even 2nd place in their division. eliminate those saves and the Phillies are the best team in baseball by far win wise.
Are bullpen is shaky.. though its really one guy who is shaky... Durbin, Eyre, Chan Ho Park, Madson (as an 8th inning guy not a closer) have had very nice years. Lidge just flat out sucks at pitching baseballs.
You really dont know anything about baseball do you? Defending World champs and back to back NL pennant winners only did it because other teams choke? I cant tell you how much it pisses me off when you say crap like that. I hope we beat your team 25-0 tonite. I know we are going to lose the series but I hope we just beat the crap outta you guys tonite.

first off last year doesn't mean anything this year. your starting pitching was much better last year. if you put rivera on the rockies instead of street explain to me how you would have won against them this year .... you would have lost simple as that in the 1st round.... broxton gave away game 4 this year in the nlcs , rivera would not have , mentally the philies own the dodgers as posted here by someone who watches 162 la dodger games .....so who did the beat ? they beat the rockies closer 2 x in colorado , they beat a team that doesn't believe they can beat them ..... now the play a team that punches back and has a closer who can finish and where are they ....down 3-1
take nothing away from last year's philly team but this team is not as good , the NL east stunk this year , the mets packed it in in June , the braves and marlins were too young to compete , they caught a team that should have beat them but couldn't finish games and the beat a mentally fragile LA team who they dominate
