Rays/Sox Phils/Dodgers

Looks like the week off didn't bother the Phillies. Good news.

Who cares about the ratings? It's not going to affect us, the fans, the people who actually matter, one bit.

That was my point.

If the Rays won last night, they probably would have swept the Phillies. Hamels is a stud though so no big deal. I still think the Rays can win it in five, but we'll see.

 

[6Jesus6Christ6]

Hamels is their only good starter.

Meyers and Blanton are good starters and they have been pitching well as of late.
Hamels is not good...he is great. He is very good at changing speeds and keeping a good fastball hitting team off balance. The Rays killed the Sox by hitting fastballs out of the park. The Sox pitchers adjusted / changed speeds and that got them back in the series...it was just too late of an adjustment.

Winning game-1 on the road was huge for Philly in that thier ace had to win to have any chance and if its a long series the Rays will face Hamels probably in gm.s 4 & 7.
Rays in five (as I picked too) may still happen but not likely...who knows?

Some bad luck for the Phils...horrible call on the check swing and now the bases are loaded

I just hope they dont lose by 1 run, that'll be terrible. But I dont think phils will win a game without hamels pitching

This kind of umpiring, at this point, is atrocious...c'mon its the fuckin World Series! The hit by pitch missed call was a joke...not only was he hit, if you looked at the slo-mo replay the umpire literally was looking away / outside as the pitch came inside and hit the batter? How do you not follow the ball all the way in?

on the checkswing...was this the called third strike, then the homeplate umpire decides to appeal it? This can't happen!

 

[King Richard]

If Rollins' jersey wasn't so damn big and baggy the pitch wouldn't have come anywhere near him. I'm glad the umpire didn't call that because it would have been bullshit.

 

[Heat Mizer]

Their gonna change that rule next season. With all of these assbags wearing jerseys 5 sizes too big they have to.

 

[King Richard]

Really? That's cool. The MLB is pretty lenient on a lot of things I've noticed over the past few years. If this was the NFL so many people have been fined by now. Though it makes sense really, considering the insane steroid era in baseball in which the MLB didn't do shit about.

 

[Heat Mizer]

That's what I heard on ESPN this morning.

Yeah and HE ALREADY MADE THE CALL YOU CANT APPEAL A CALL LIKE THAT FUCK

 

[ThisIsACoolName]

Fuckin' Philly, baby!

 

[Heat Mizer]

Fuckin Rays SUCK..

 

[Belligerent]

I called it. I knew the Phillies were a better team.

 

[Heat Mizer]

I thought the Rays had a better rotation. Guess I was fucking wrong.

 

[King Richard]

I'm not giving anyone credit for "calling it" until the series is actually over.

 

[skeptik]

Good job there Belligerent. Then again you had a 50% chance, so I'm not too impressed.
