NLCS: Dodgers vs. Phillies (Phillies Win 4-1)

[J.R.]

Pedro Martinez vs Vicente Padilla? That's the type of pitching matchup that gets me to tune in for the NLCS.

 

Still laughing?

This game seems to be more about anemic offenses rather than awesome pitching.

[Outshined_One]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand Dodger fans have broken out the wave.

[Outshined_One]

Why the hell is Torre taking the bat out of Martin's hands, even when he was up 3-0 in the count?

[Outshined_One]

That was unexpected.

Geez, Utley is the one guy I actively root for on the Phillies. He needs to cut out the errors in pivotal points in the game.

Manuel *really* overmanaged the 8th inning... was a different reliever for every batter practically.

Remember that Cubs at Phillies game in 2008? Utley made the same error that allowed the Cubs to take the lead, and eventually win the game.

Ethier must have been playing in centerfield to allow Ryan Howard to get a triple on that ball.

Yep.

Crazy that Billingsley has gone from opening the playoffs to mop-up work in such a short span.

crazy in that joe torre was crazy to start kuroda instead of billingsley.

I wanna see a Dodgers-Yankees series.

 

I bet you also wanted to see the Lakers/Celtics matchup, too. At this point, I much rather see Angels .v. Dodgers/Phillies over anything that includes the Yankees.

Woulda rather seen a Bulls-Lakers matchup... but yeah.

 

I really just don't like the Phillies because I'm sort of a second-hand Mets fan. And I wouldn't mind seeing Victorino get another beer thrown at him during this series.

Howard sure didn't wait long to extend his postseason RBI streak the last two games. Has he tied Gehrig yet?

[SouthSideRyan]

Haha, love the casual deep breath followed with a nonchalant f bomb by Hallion.

[Sammys Boombox]

What are they chanting while Manny bats?

[Sosa21MVP]

Wow.

 

/series

[Outshined_One]

Um...Chip.... What throw to the plate are you talking about?

[Sammys Boombox]

And another walk-off. Wow.

[Sosa21MVP]

Chip: HERE IS THE THROW TO THE PLATE! IT IS NOT IN TIME!

 

The ball never got to plate. :-))

[Outshined_One]

I love that TBS replayed the walkoff without Chip's call.

[OleMissCub]

OMG, who is this "woman" that is interviewing people on ESPN right now?

[TruffleShuffle]

i love playoff baseball. basically the dodgers are one out from getting right back into the series, guaranteeing themselves the opportunity to go back home to LA, and have a lot of momentum back on their side. instead they're down 3-1, have absolutely no momentum and have to beat hamels and lee to win the series. good luck with that.

[Guest]

So a Dodger fan co-worker of mine was talking about yesterday's game and he ended up informing me that I had no idea how tough such a heartbreaking loss is to a fan.

 

Seriously?
