That's true(about Ethier hitting it down that right field line.) Was a bad pitch though(I guess Lidge thought he was gunna be female n' take the 1st pitch like every other Dodger batter last night.) The ball hit to Feliz wasn't as easy a ball as it seems. Had quite a bit of a top spin arc towards 3rd base. He should of made the play, but it's not as bad a botch as Hudson blowing the doubleplay ball. Look, the ump gave Lidge a gift to start the inning. There's no way that low outside pitch to Furcal was a strike (although this guy probably would of struck out swinging wildly on the next junk pitch.) Furcal has aged 5 years in 9 months. Blackthroated Wind aged 10 years in 2 years. It happens. That's a fill-in ump from the minors. I can see why so many on the internet want him to go back there quickly. He was calling the low extreme corners for the Phillies all night, but didn't give it to Milton at all. Weird ump. Didn't feel like a big league ump was back there. Why would you have a minor league fill-in ump call balls n' strikes twice in 7 days? He's a fkn band-aid.

When the Dodgers get a walk-off win, they have that "I Love L.A" song ready to pour acid on the other team. What do the Phil's use? What song or sound effect? Canons Going off?

That juicer LO DUCA is all over TVG now. Can't find the correct verb tense when using his own native language (so Mullins-like.)

It's not unreal. It's the way it should be. If they want full seats, then they can stop charging $15 for a car to park. You seem to think this is an inexpensive endeavor. Some people have discipline.

They've turned it into going to a football game(once a week situation.)

New York has Wall Street bail out money, and subways make it easy to go to the games.

Ethier is a weird dude. When he plays like this, he's so good at coming back from a 2 strike count, and waiting for a pitch he can drive. For some reason, he can't stay at this level. He always slumps after these spurts. He has the potential to play like this most of the time. That's why you see Joe pointing his finger at him at the end of the clip. He's trying to get him to stop having those slumps n' spurts.

SCUDS my man! Was a good series... Pitching was good on both sides. I was real impressed with Phillies starting pitching, though Bastardo had a very nice 2nd outing yesterday, and surprised Chan HO Park actually pitched okay!

2 bad bottom of the 9th for the Phils or else we coulda had a sweep

but thats why it aint over til the fat lady sings!

IF these two teams meet each other in the NLCS, it will be a great series!

I'm just happy our pitching is coming around (save one guy who played a major part in us winning the World Series last year by going 47-47 in save opportunities.. but he gets a pass because of that... for now)

It can get people to the games, but it's not nearly as easy as using that subway. That will always be a problem out here. It's a major difference. It got so hard to get out of Dodger Stadium that they started making people go in n' out of the same entrance to the stadium. In September 2006, it took me at least an hour to actually leave the parking lot after a game. I don't know wtf was going on, but the next year, they started making ya go in n' out the same parking entrance. It's a hassle to get to n' leave these games. That's true with any sporting event here. It's not like you'd want to do this more than once a week. It's too much of a hassle for that. It's on cable or dish. One's an expensive hassle, and the other isn't. I'll pay the jak to be there for a playoff game this fall. Game 3 against the Cubs was worth the money. That was a great atmosphere that night. Kuroda was a beast. Baby Bears were swinging at butterflies.
