Tampa engaging in some strategery. Knowing that Dice-K has been lights out, they've decided to move the struggling Kazmir to tomorrow night's game, so as to have Shields (their best pitcher) pitch in Game 6, at home.

Always sound so smart on the surface but assuming Boston wins game five and then pull out game 6, suddenly you put a massive amount of pressure on yourself.

With a 3-1 lead they should still win it though.

Uh... regardless of when Shields and Kazmir pitch, if they win Game 5 and Game 6, there will be massive amounts of pressure.

bad juju!!!!

Chan Ho Park sighting

The wheels are coming off the Dodgers.

Bad News Bears sighting...

Furcal is having a forgetable series

Wow....nice inning for Furcal

Man, Philly might be partying tonight.

Meh

Ohh, nice escape.

well there goes that rally

Damn Manny hit that thing far

WAY TO GO COLE!!!

This ump is...not good?

Yeah, Kent had a legitimate beef there.

And Manny gets a hit in his last AB as a Dodger?

3 MORE OUTS!!

That was close.

Lidge has been doing that since the last week of the season. It is going to bite him.

Gah. Congrats to the Phils

PHILLIES WIN THE PENNANT!!

:)

congrats to the Phils.


Puke.

can I delete this thread for real this time?

Who is gonna be NLCS MVP?

Congrats to the Phils. It's not the Blue Jays, but if someone from '93 had to get there, Philly has earned it.

I'll root for Tampa Bay, though.

But I do like their team a lot. Nice, scrappy guys but who actually can play baseball. Good for them.

Congrats to the Phillies, at least I got to see the Dodgers win a post-season series for the first time since I was 5 years old.

Cole has to be the MVP

Someone wanna complain about baseball celebrations before the World Series yet?

Sigh :(

A little bit of craziness going on in the streets of Philly right now.

:thumbsup:

Yeah!!!!!

:banana: :banana: :banana:

Good for the Phillies. Looks like it will be a great world series as well.

Let's Go TAMP!

:):):)

WOOT! I've been rooting for the Rays all year. LET'S GO!

Congrats to Phils fans. Hopefully the Rays can finish their series up tonight in 5 as well tonight.

SI

Good Lord. If the Rays win tonight, there's an outside chance that the playoffs may not go into December this year. Wouldn't that be something????

Crazy talk! He's a witch, burn him! ;)

SI

Tho, in theory, they're locked into starting Oct 22nd, even if the AL ended tonight. What flavor of stupid is that?

SI

Works for me because I could only go to the game on a weekend, and it falls perfect that I got tickets for the 26th!

I thought you had game 5 tickets? That's on a Monday. Keep me in mind of you have to sell off your tickets for any reason. Have I ever told you that you are easily my favorite FOFC'er? :D

dola: My memory failed me, now I see it was game 4. Oh well, can't blame a guy for trying. ;)

So, I just woke up about a 1/2 hour ago. :D

Last night was ridiculous. I didn't go into Center City, but even the party on the Main Line was pretty ridiculous. For those who are familiar in the area, we started out at Kelly's in Bryn Mawr, and ended up at Brownies in Ardmore. So much fun.

GO PHILS!

Upton homers again, Rays up 2-0 in the first. If they win tonight let's just have the Series begin on Saturday.

!!!!


Pena with a TWO RUN HR!!

BACK TO BACK BABY!!! WOOOW

Man o' Man. You knew Longoria was gonna go deep. You just knew it. He wants that MVP.

So yeah, why the heck are we going to have to wait until Wednesday for the World Series? Are the TV ratings for baseball playoff games really that much better on weekends?

I just don't want to see both teams coming out like the '06 Tigers did after a long layoff.

Or like the Rockies last year. Though they did sweep in the NLCS which doesn't help, so it wasn't really baseball's fault I guess.
