Dodgers versus Phils

[Cannon Shell]

Manuel IMO is a better manager than Girardi.

IF Girardi screws up one game, IF Lee throws a shutout, IF CC reverts to prior play off form and IF Howard launches a late inning game winner since the yankees have no lefty in the bullpen...the Phils can win

lot of ifs

I'm going to have a tough time rooting for either team but I will probably still watch and just hope for a few nail biters. Since so many of my good friends are Yankee fans, I guess we will all go out and get hammered and I'll go with the crowd. Would be different if the Dodgers got in, and or the Angels. But looks like the California little league teams both came up very short. Ugh.

come on man.. you are a Sox fan. you cant root for the Yankees. Why not root for the Phillies? What is not to love about this team unless you are a Dodger or Rockie fan?

I cant explain it but I just dont feel the love for the Phillies. I liked the Pete Rose/Mike Schmidt team back in the day but these guys arent doing it for me. I'll only watch the games when going out drinking beer is involved and I wont stay up late (sober).

Why are they waiting so long to start this thing?

I have to admit. I usually can't stomach any team from Philadelphia. But that Phillies team is very easy to root for. They are a hard working bunch. That being said I hope the Yanks (once they get in) maul them.

I dont think we need ANY if's. We just need the boys to keep doin what they've been doing. Remember... Dodgers were supposed to have the best bullpen in baseball and the Phillies bullpen blew all year...

I dont think any of our hitters are afraid of ANY pitcher in the whole wide world. I'd take our line-up over the Yankees line-up. I know you'll disagree, but clutch and heart arent measured in stats. Shoot, our #8 guy Ruiz is hitting as well as ANYONE in the playoffs... including Howards and Aroid.

Should be a good series though. No team will sweep thats for sure. Yankee's will be in for a treat in CB.. our crowd will be rockin. Phils also play real well on the road. Just hope A-rod doesnt go take a shower while the yanks are up by 1 in the bottom of the 9th.

You didn't see me write that. Should ignore what these mouths on T.V. keep saying. They don't watch these teams like each day. They just read up on them. It's like when they say the Dodgers haven't lost that many games in the 9th when Brox has come in. No, he often gets out of the inning with a tie game. That's acceptable to this woman. Then, they lose in extras. Hell, you've seen this guy blow the pivotal game 4 the last two years in the NLCS. How the fk do they call that the best bulley in the National League? They go by the regular season stuff. Well, the Dodgers are made for winning in the regular season. It's just not the same as being made for the post.
