Manny, I hope we won’t need games 6 and 7, but thank you!

All,

Let’s feel good about game 5.5 as you call it. Charlie said he feels good about it and I am OK with this. I am not thrilled about the whole thing, but honesty, if you think we were hosed, Tampa got the worse end of it. Think about this – WE lead off. WE have 12 outs if needed. WE end it if they score. I am feeling good. I may eat these words, but EVEN if we lose this, we have game six. WE still are in charge. WE will do it. If this were a 2-2 series, I would be worried; but I am OK because Charlie is optimistic… I have learned that Charlie is a great “baseballer” and I really think it can happen Wednesday.

My friends in Philadelphia…….. I told the father in the sky to make it rain and thats just what he did……… Now forget about Cole Hamels……. This is the REAL CHANGE you have all been waiting for.

Just let the whole bullpen warm up before the game starts. It’s a bigger problem for Tampa because their bullpen throws the first pitch.

Myers does give up a lot of early inning runs, but I think there is a mental aspect to this that we may be missing which is why I suggested starting Myers. Its gonna feel like a brand new ballgame out there and I worry about Romero or any other reliever starting the game without sitting in the bullpen for 5 or 6 innings.

But if Chollie insists on going with the bullpen, I hope he starts with Madson.

So I went crazy and paid big bucks for a ticket to the last 3.5 innnings of game 5….I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to be at a possible clincher the second time it came around….for those who are looking for a ticket stub hub has quite afew available….

Honestly, I’m against starting Myers, especially since a good majority of the runs he gives up are in the earlier innings.

Everyone is absolutely right that it was the bullpen that got us here. The bullpen should win the game and you play it like a bullpen game.

And yes, we get 4 at bats, Tampa gets 3.

Yes, I’ve had my incredible doubts about this whole ordeal and I have calmed down dramatically, but it seems the concensus amongst the national media is that the Phils will win this.

Game 5.5 of the World Series……

Why not start Myers tomorrow night? In the worst case scenario there’s only 2 games left and if the do indeed have a travel day then Hamels can pitch Game 7 if necessary. So we could throw Moyer or Blanton at them for Game 6.

Doesnt this make more sense than starting tomorrow night with the bullpen when its really going to feel like the start of another game?

“If the Phillies want me to pitch, I’d tell them I’m more than happy to step in,” Hamels said.

I know this is totally out of the question in most respects, but Wednesday would be Hamels’ scheduled bullpen session day. What do you think?

Chris B, honestly Q102 sucks and they probably made it themselves. Best vet is to record it off the radio. If not call over there and ask for Richie Rich. He is the nicest guy at Q102 and will do anything for a listener especially get them a song. Richie Rich is all about the male demographics on Q102 too. He loves the guys lol

I agree, Kristin, good luck. Everyone should take the survey, it took me less than 3 minutes.

erik, if you are willing to pay “whatever it takes,” just go to stubhub..there are a few going for $600. I still think that is way too much for a 3.5 inning game.

to get back to my point… i am desperate to see this game tomorrow. i am willing to pay whatever it takes to someone who cannot make the game. i would like multiple, but one will do. if you have any to spare, feel free to call or text message me. 570-527-9127. i am from pottsville(home of yurengling). i would be willing to drive wherever i would have to go to pick them up

If anyone who has tickets can’t use them, I would love to have two. My ten year old son and I would scream for the Phillies for the entire 3 innings left! We will be a non-stop Phillies fanatic speaker/blaster. I would also happily mail you back your ticket stubs so you can keep it as a souvenir.

Just respond here and I”ll get in touch with you!

Charlie just had a conf call. It was streaming live on MLB.com a few minutes ago. Joe Maddon is on now I believe.

For everyone speculating about travel days and Game 6 and 7 — STOP. The only people traveling will be Tampa. We’ve waited 28 years, I guess one more day doesn’t hurt haha
