2008 Philadelphia Phillies Season/Playoff Thread (Die Mets Die)

[Geowhizzer]

Springer thrown out for throwing at Howard, LaRussa thrown out for arguing about it.

Weak move by the umps- hit Howard in the thigh.

[ice grillin you]

what a terrible ejection

lol @ tim mccllelan...not cause he tossed the pitcher but because he looks like a titanic dork


lol for real @ ryan franklin

franklin is their closer. la russa is just such a terrible strategical manager, it was such dumb luck that this team won the series 3 years ago.

[Don Ho]

where did that ejection come from?  stupid move.  great, now piss the cards off for the weekend (not that being down by 15 runs didn't).

WOW maybe the worst post ever....20 posts ago you said how much of a joke the cards are...and now larussa is a terrible manager....you ever wonder why they are as good as they are...hint: his initials are TL....one of the top five managers ever...shtein maybe higher

McClellan didn't eject either one.  The home plate ump ejected the pitcher and LaRussa.

Thought he threw at Howard intentionally.  Probably did, but he hit Howard in the upper leg - the big guy probably didn't even feel it.

Jenkins and Ruiz make it 20-2.

[ice grillin you]

still no boos

strategical, dooks. he is. he won in the al where is no strategy. he certainly always has good teams for a reason, but he is just awful in decision making in the game. hitting the pitcher 8th, squeezing all the damn time, he's just a cocky jerk who thinks he invented the game.

[ice grillin you]

first of all were you even born when he won in the AL?....second of all you have no idea what youyre saying and you spouted off before thinking...the guy is a legend a first ballot hall of famer and a phenomional manager that not only has won with great teams but also with average teams...hes simply the best of his era and one of the best ever

[Geowhizzer]

Seanez throws behind Ryan's back, Jose Oquendo gets thrown out arguing that he should be ejected.   

Sarge could see a VERY interesting game by Sunday.  LaRussa doesn't let these things go.

[Rome]

Another ridiculous beat-down from the Phillies against a good baseball team.

And the knock down attempt on Howard was hilarious.  Not as funny as Seanez missing the Cardinal, but still, pretty farging funny.

[Geowhizzer]

And 2B Aaron Miles comes in and sets the Phils' top of the lineup (sans Utley) in order. 

[Rome]

Someone needs to tell the hayseed announcers for the Cardinals that they're losing 20-2.

[ice grillin you]

these cards announcers are out of control...literally screaming because miles is getting people out....like the phils are gonna hit up 20 against a position player pitching....middle america sucks
