Nice try, Mack + NY Post… we don’t even have mustard packs at CBP. But don’t worry, if I ever find you, believe me, I will look for one…

I hope they lock the entire Rays organization in the bathroom tonight. If you want to call us disrepectful and disgusting, we’ll show you disrespectful and disgusting.

Manny, correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t all condiments at CBP limited to the condiment stations with no packets for anything?

True dat.
Although I’ve heard that Rays fans are apathetic and sparse, while Mets fans are uneducated and obnoxious. I’m pretty sure those are facts.

I’m so anxious. I’m so excited. I can’t handle it. I just love Citizens Bank Park and I love this team so much. This is amazing. We’re doing it tonight. I don’t care how.

on Espn News “Charlie Manuel says Ryan Madson will start the bottom of the 7th for the Phillies”.
So I guess that answers that. I’m thinking they want 2 innings out of Madson tonight.

Madson’s changeup has looked as sick as Cole’s lately so if you need to put your finger on a guy to get us to the 9th, he’s it.

Something makes me feel uneasy but I like Charlie being aggressive here, I think considering where we are it’s a case of trusting Charlie’s made the right decision and Durbin did work himself into trouble at times in the past few weeks.
I wonder what this secret move Charlie has planned with the first hitter up…

DNL has Leslie Gudel and John Boruk live at the ballpark, they said they are freezing their butts off. It’s so cold Leslie’s eyes are watering.

I’m not too sure about the Madson move. I thought a Durbin/Romero 7th followed by a Madson 8th and 9th if necessary because of a tied game was ideal. Then put in Lidge for the 10th if it came to that. But who am I to question Charlie? He’s led us this far…gotta trust his decisions. Go Phils!

The 2008 postseason will be crazy regardless if the Phillies make it. For
starters, you have the Tampa Bay Rays who, along with their name change, can
play and win against the powerhouses. With the Rays in the postseason and at
the top of the AL East, that means that the Yankees will not make it for the
first time in 13 years.
Back now to the Phillies. I feel that if they make it to the playoffs this
postseason, they will have a legitimate shot at the World Series. I know what
some people are thinking. How are they going to get past the Cubs juggernaut
and then against the American League. I think the real question is are the
Phillies hungry enough for it. The answer to that question is yes. While many
of National and American league division leaders have somewhat put the cruise
control on for the last month, the Phillies have been doing what they did last
year, kicking and clawing out wins to bounce back to a Wild Card lead. The
Phillies were in mediocrity beginning the month of September and were 4 games
back of the Brew Crew with a weekend four game series coming up. The Phillies
answered that call and swept the Brewers and won handily. The Phillies beat the
ace of the Brewers with small ball and that shows the difference between this
years and last year. The fact that the Phillies will do whatever it takes to
score a run or get ahead of a runner makes me believe that this team will not
get swept out of the postseason this year.

Is this a must-win for the Phillies tonight?…
I tend to think the fanbase would be devastated by a loss. No?

No, A Couple Things, we’d be thrilled by a loss. Wouldn’t you? What a stupid question to ask. Devastated? No. Disappointed? Sure. But we’re the ones up 3-1, and even if we lose tonight, we’ll still be up 3-2. Either way, we’re in the driver’s seat and in control of our own destiny. Now go back to your crazy anti-Philly blog.

The Phils blew their opportunity. They had a 2 run lead but the scrappy Rays came back in adverse conditions. I pity you poor Phillie fans.
