Quite honestly, a lot depends on how ya boy Kershaw pitches. He needs to pitch like he did the Saturday before last. That stuff he got away with last Thursday isn't gunna be good enough. If he doesn't want to challenge them from the 1st pitch on, then they can probably forget it. That finesse bullsht needs to go.

who cares that no one had them getting by St Louis. That is the past. This is gonna be a tough series. I say it goes 6 or 7 games and I wont predict a winner. Chuck, the Colorado series was a LOT tougher after game one. We got a lil lucky there being able to crush Street like that. That and our batters are SO clutch. I'm hoping Manuel goes back to remembering how to coach, because it seemed to me like he coached a poor series with all the crazy pitching changes. Why the F do you take Cliff Lee out in the 8th last night? He was destroying the Rockies. It wasnt his fault there were runners on 1 & 2nd with 1 out, he got Helton to hit into a double play and Rollins errored. The inning should have either been over or a guy on 1st with 2 outs. And Charlie takes Lee out and Madson has a meltdown. How much you wanna bet if Charlie left Lee in that we would have got out of the inning without giving up any runs? Happy for Lidge but I will not trust him at all for the remainder of his games. Glad his slider is working again though. And no offense gales and Scuds, but I dont worry too much about Hamels when he is facing the Dodgers. He always pitches well against them and earlier this year I'm pretty sure he threw a complete game shutout against LA.. his best pitching performance of the year.

no offense taken , but , remember linda rice a couple of weeks ago couldn't lose , now she can't win and her horses are running against the same horses , if you think hamels is the same pitcher as he was last year or even in the begining of this well then you are hoping rather than thinking , if the rockies could hit him , the dodgers certainly can now too

Dodgers= Phils' Pet Bitches
Coletti= Reuben's Amaro Jr.'s Bitch Ned, you might try getting that Ace (Lee) next time, and stop arrogantly going with that piece of sht Broxton. Do that n' you'd of had a 4-3 series. Probably still lose the series 4-3, but ya got no chance with a woman closer, and no ace. Funny how he can't figure this out. These so called pro-executive types are pretty fkn thick. They "know better." Last edited by SCUDSBROTHER : 10-22-2009 at 01:48 AM.

Its really been a consistent theme this postseason...
You have your good teams- Yankees and Phillies... and the other ones who look like they should be playing in Little League: Red Sox, Angels, Dodgers and Twins. I guess we should all be pysched that the 2 best teams (by far) will be duking it out next week for the title. The rest of the teams really have a lot of work to do or we could be looking at Yankees-Phillies World Series for many years to come.

Charlie yanked Cole at the right time.
'Pen did a nice job … particularly that Durbin guy … got three or four big outs. I'm glad Werth plays for the red team. Victorino too Would love to see them stuff NY…

Gander, I think 6 teams (Phils, Yanks, Cards, Boston, Halos, and the Dodgers) were capable of winning it all. I honestly don't think the Rocks n' Twinks had enough pitching. The two teams that are going to meet (Phils n' Yanks) are there for two fundamental reasons. I say fundamental, because people make this stuff way too difficult.
1) Swing at Strikes. Stop swinging at balls. Sounds easy. No, it is evidently not. Look at Casey Blake swing at the low outside pitch last night, and ground to the shortstop. Look at Manny swing on the pitch that Durban threw way inside (that handcuffed him badly.) These 2 people are not paying attention to the fundamentals of this game. To be honest, I think Philly has just collected a smarter group of people. Yes, power is important, but it's this plate discipline that separates them from others in the post. If they were swinging at balls, they couldn't use their power. Well, the Broxton situation is different. That fkn choke was gunna center cut one of them, regardless. The Yanks are also doing well at this, but the Phils are superior at this. They are certainly one of the most plate-disciplined teams we've seen in a while. 2) Throw strikes on the corners, and have command. Well, the Dodgers were certainly abysmal at this, and it's been Mr. Kershaw's problem from day one. I told Cannon that the series depended a lot on how this individual pitched. He failed at command. He does this often, and it keeps him from being an ace. I don't know if this individual will ever gain command. Really, once this guy came up short, I knew they had no shot, and that's why I called the series over after the 5th inning of the 1st game. I knew they would then lay down, and they did. He needed to pitch like he did against the Rocks. He didn't. A great deal of their future depends on managing this guy. They've not done this well. Too much tea drinkin' etc. , and not enough management of players going on. Not nearly enough plate discipline being taught, and a horrible job at getting pitchers like Kershaw to command their pitches. Doesn't help that they refused to get the one ace pitcher available. Philly wanted to win more. Paid the price for him. Colletti etc. did what? -> hem n' haw.. hem n' haw. BTW, the Yanks n' Phils are about even on this starting pitching right now. I'm going to guess the Phils solve C.C. before the Yanks solve Lee. I think the Phils will win it, but it depends so much on the Yanks plate discipline. The Phils plate discipline will be there. If the Yanks have plate discipline, then it will be a very close series. If they don't have that, it's gunna be a very short series.
