2008 NLCS Thread

Dodgers did exactly what they needed to do tonight: take a big lead early and cruise. They're back in it.

[TheKilo]

What was the fracas early on? Description please.

[Cocos Disciples]

Martin got hit early on, then pretty soon after Kuroda throws one over Victorino's head. Benches clear, warnings given but nothing that interesting.

[msubulldogs21]

If Philly can just take 1 of 3 in LA, I like their chances. Lose all 3 and they're in a bind.

[Cocos Disciples]

Lowe going on short rest tomorrow. Big game Derek!

Can't wait to see that face a few times.

[Cocos Disciples]

I think we just had our first Lowe face sighting. 1-0 Phils, looking for more.

[Cocos Disciples]

I guess NL managers haven't realized that its playoff time either. Torre is starting Juan Pierre and Manuel IBB'd Manny in the FIRST INNING.

[msubulldogs21]

Torre is starting Juan Pierre

 

Who just got gunned down trying to steal 2nd.

 

Is he starting over Kemp or Ethier? Either way bad move.

[Cocos Disciples]

Over Kemp

[Cocos Disciples]

Dodgers tie it at 2 in the 5th on a Manny RBI single. As with the ALCS, this series has seen some pretty s***** ball/strike calls. This is going to be looked at in the off-season for sure.

[TheKilo]

If we still had Manny, Lester wouldn't have given up 5 in 5.1 tonight!

If we still had Manny, Josh Beckett's oblique would be healed by gypsies!

[Cocos Disciples]

I wonder if they ride Kershaw for 3 innings then give it to Broxton?

[Cocos Disciples]

Or have him go 1/3 of an inning...

[msubulldogs21]

Terrible error by Howard. Couldn't have come at a worse time.

[Optimist]

Oh Joe...

[a700hitter]

That Beer league Matt Stairs just hit a 2 run PH bomb off Broxton. Wow!!! Phils 7-5 in the 8th.

And a BOMB that was. Looked like 450+.

[a700hitter]

Lidge is trying his best to blow the game. Manny double with two outs and Martin reached on a strike out wild pitch.

[msubulldogs21]

Phillies win! 3-1 series lead now.

[Cocos Disciples]

Good for Matt Stairs, I like him.

[BoSox21]

He likes his teammates too....

 

"Not that I don't feel like I'm part of the team, but when you get that nice celebration coming in the dugout and you're getting your ass hammered by guys, there's no better feeling than to have that done."

[Cocos Disciples]

[Cocos Disciples]

Phils can go to the World Series tonight behind Hamels.

[Cocos Disciples]

Dodgers coming up empty so far, 5-0 after 5.

[26 to 6]

Of course there was nobody on base for that blast.

 

Dem bums!!

 

Trailing 5-1. Lets get it goin!

[redsoxrules]

Wowza , Manny had a 1747 OPS in these playoffs

[BoSox21]

and 10 mins after the Dodgers lose, the f***bag say this:

 

"I just want to go home [to Florida] and spend some time with my family," Ramirez says, while adding with a grin, "I want to see who is the highest bidder. Gas is up and so am I."
