i was at the game last night and let me tell you about those goddamn cowbells. what a joke, there were so many open seats you could have sat the 101st airborne together. Cant wait until the go back to Citizens Bank Park and get a real earful. I actually had a woman in a rays jersey(brand new) tell me “Tampa are good fans, so kiss my ass!” I kindly replied “Good one Wordsworth” and she looked at me like a retard. Then she threw her cowbell 3 rows away and spilled her beer on my buddy’s neck. Where was Mark Grace to see that one??????

Regarding the rain, just read the MLB weather people think that while it will rain it will clear up by the time the game needs to start

That’s cutting it close. Hopefully, it gets done. At least, if there’s no game Saturday, the schedule won’t be pushed back. At least that’s what they’re saying.

I really hope the Phils can sweep at home and get it over with, but, I think that’s asking for too much.

She’ll get over it, Don. My wife is in the same boat, although I must say she has been getting into it…..when she’s not falling asleep on the couch!! I must admit, these late games are tough.

Looks like we could get a rain delay but still be able to play the game later that night. HOPEFULLY, the system will hit Philly an hour earlier than scheduled and the game could start on time.

Rose played hard…

Not just because our DH has done much.. but wasn’t it great seeing the managers trying to out-guess the other in the NLDS and NLCS.. in terms of pitchers, pinch hitters, defensive replacements, pinch runners, etc… all the things that make baseball awesome are cut back due to the DH.

i still cant believe our offense consisted of Ruiz and Buttlett. Who would have guessed?

This is the reason you need Manny Ramirez clutch hitter. He would be like when we couldn’t get to the series in the late seventies. Even with schmidt and co. we get rose who is clutch and shows us how to win.

I think that my fiancee is starting to become upset with the fact that my entire life is revolving around the Phillies. . . she must feel like the ugly step-child.. eventhough she’s hot to trot

Oh, and just so I’m on record with this as well……the DH sucks!!!!

Fair enough, Manny. Man, this Series has a complete chokehold on my entire life right now. I need to pull it together!!

I knowwww…. I totally understand that Chuck. But it’s over. We cannot get obsessed on last night’s game. We have to focus on the next one. That’s it.

By: Chuck

Chuck — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 16:36:42 +0000

And, Manny don’t get me wrong. I, like most of us, am ok with a split. I never thought that we would come home 2-0. But we could have and shoould have had last night’s game..And if last night’s issues remain we are in trouble.

Don M — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 16:35:28 +0000

they COULD have taken both games…

Shields was the player of the game because our offense choked.. he didn’t impress me that much.. Garza is their best pitcher this postseason, but wait until he gets a load of the Phillies Phaithful in Game #3.. .

Big deal, Manny????!!!! What?????!!!!!! What the hell do you expect?? How can you actually say BIG DEAL, dude? This IS a big deal and if the PHillies lose this series 4-3 what are you going to say then? I don’ think they will but they need every victory they can right now and last night and all it’s problems WERE a BIG DEAL!!
