If we can't get there, that's the team(Phils) I would have liked to see get there. Both organizations were overdue for some luck.

Remember, we have Ryan Madson!

Home field advantage will play a HUGE role in this series IMO. The Phils rely on the long ball, as they are one of the worst small ball teams in the game. This year, when they played in LA, a few of those long outs would have been dingers at The Bank.

I am very eager to get this thing going. God bless my brothers old yellow Aramark jersey. Yes, im going the cheapo route, and wearing it to get in free. They shipped in alot of new workers from DC/Baltimore area for the Brewers series, and assume they will be doing the same for this one. Lots of new faces. My brother Danny got in free to game 2 using the jersey. Pretty hilarious.

Yeah, Madson was dealing, and Charlie took him out. That was stupid. Gave us that game. You haven't faced us with both Manny n' Furcal. Hamels is pitching better now, though. We know we got to get to the other guy(Myers ) early on. I can see the series going either way, but your starters will have to pitch great. Our starters will be tough if they get any early runs. We still got a bad taste about the last 2 games in Philly. We don't like that memory. That was the 3rd-4th loss in our 8 in a row losing streak. We didn't like that. That memory is fresh as fkn Downy. We are hungry for Philly. If we lose, it won't be because we can't get our emotions back up from the previous series. We've been waiting to play you again. We blew the great game that Kuroda threw against you. We'll be up to play you. It should be a war. All tune in. We got a score to settle.

Scuds have you found a way into the dugout?
I would say you are a bit pumped.

Yes, I am pumped. Seems like we've been waiting a long time for these youngins to come correct, and finally they put it all together against the Cubs. Martin, Kemp, Ethier, Loney, Billingsley, and Broxton are all good young players that came up in 2006. They always seem to f it up somehow. That's been more than a little frustrating. To see them all play well at the same time is an absolute blast. I'm still totally amazed that Broxton closed them out that way. I thought we might hold on, or something(maybe win in extra innings.) Like he usually does(walks, base hits etc...skate by,) but fatboy was throwing strike after strike. Believe me, when that ump's hand kept going in the air, that crowd was stunned. We are lucky Martin didn't hurt his back(cuz he tried to pick that fatboy up.)

I give him credit for being very, very patient. He lost a lot of regular season games by giving pitchers an extra day of rest here n' there. He managed this team as if he knew it was gunna win the division. He managed his pitching staff so they would have something for the playoffs. After Manny got here, we won the final 2 games(SAT. n' SUN.) of a 4 game series against the D'BACKS. Then we went to St. Louis on Tuesday. That guy refused to put anybody good in late in that game to try to win it. He just gave that game away. He refused to use either Broxton or Kuo. This is with like 48 hours rest, and 72 hours rest. He managed this team for October. I don't know how he knew the D'BACKS were gunna struggle. It's as if he didn't want to make the post unless he had the pitching a certain way(something left.)

Did they make people buy tickets for both days of the BC? Just seeing Zenyatta's worth the price of admission on Day 1.
