2009 Philadelphia Phillies - Season's Over, Time to Move On

[smeags]

how were the 1st games overall ?

[MDS]

19.5 for game 1
18.9 for game 2

game 3 will be low but the FAVRE FAVRE FAVRE lead in, no sunday night football and fact that its the most watched tv night of the week should sent game 4 to 25 mil range.

no Clifford...Blanton gets the nod for game 4.

Apparently Lee has never pitched on short rest in his major league career.

[MDS]

game 5 is a win with cliff on normal rest.

he has 2 days off then can give you whatever he has in the tank for game 7. works.

Instead of Jay Z maybe we'll get the Villanova Bball team to do Thriller before game 3.   Empire State this.

Joe Buck may be dead by than or at least on life support.

yeah lee was never going in game 4

basically yanks wanna win the next two with cc going game four then they will sacrifice gaudin against lee in game 5 and take their chances in 6 and 7 with a fully rested petitte and aj

phils are in trouble

[MDS]

i hate you so much.

[Geowhizzer]

To me, it all depends on Hamels in Game 3.  If he can be any semblance of last year's ace, the Phils should be in good shape.  If not, they're in big trouble.

gotta beat cc on short rest....this whole series will really come down to that game

i give them a good chance because i think girardi left him in for way to many pitches on wed if he wants him to pitch well on short time

that said i still am not very confident in a cc blanton matchup...blanton is going to get raped by the yanks lineup

hamels - pettite - yanks win up 2-1
cc - fatty - yanks win up 3-1
gaudin - lee - phils win down 3-2
aj - pedro - yanks win series 4-2

lol hamels isnt a questionmark..we all know hes done...the questionmark is cc on short rest...is he like he was the other night and with the brewers down the stretch last year...or is he like he was in the playoffs last year...nobody knows and thats where the series lays

thats what i love about everyone talking about how many pitches lee had.  He has 3 more pitches i think than CC.  Sure it was longer, but he was just on.

whose been talking about lees pitch count?...i havent heard anyone...its a non issue cause he isnt going on short rest

[MDS]

cc is a horse, hell be fine.

the thing you guys are missing is girardi. he is due for a major farg up in 3 or 4. has to happen. he was awful in game 1 and in the angels series. in an nl park he will farg up things. hell, he could bring aj back on short rest in game 5.

this thing is probably going back to ny 3-2 phils. difference is if they can get to mo like they got to broxton. if they can steal the yanks W in philly like they did to LA, then we good.
