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)

point 1 - don't agree with , that does not explain the sellouts

point 2 - my bad , i agree with that , just assumed mass transit in LA can get the poeple to the games , obviously not the case

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.

Its nice to see our pitching (starters especially) coming around.

Your pitching did well also. Not too many runs scored this series. If these two teams meet back up in the NLCS it will be a great series!

What are ya'll gonna do with that awsome guy on your team (Pierre?) when Manny comes back?

Also what do u think of our young dominican, Bastardo?

The pitching still scares me though. I'm not sure they are going to hold up for the rest of the year without making a move. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE our young lefties, (Hamels, Happ, and Bastardo) but we are going to need another right hand in there somewere down the line. I'm glad that they moved Happ from the pen, the kid has a future as a solid starter. One tangible that can't be overlooked is that we have Jaime Moyer showing these kids the ropes, on and off the field. That seems to be an immeasurable advantage. They seemed to show that on the nationally televised games this weekend. Moyer was in the dugout explaining certain pitches and grips it looked like.


Ibanez looks like the STEAL of the offseason, and is playing lights out. Can you imagine how heralded this guy will be if he continues playing at a torrid pace like he is? The guy will have the key to the city dipped in gold if he keeps it up. The whole city loves him already. (but we all know how things can change in that aspect. )
