Phightins

Hah...there isn't a hitter in baseball who wouldn't have buckled on that Wainwright curve. Wilson striking out Howard is a different story. No excuse for not hacking there, although that is Ryan's MO. I dreaded the day when something like this would happen.

He has absolutely no grasp for the strike zone with 2 strikes. Saw that ending coming a mile away.

This season goes down as a complete and utter disaster. Weirdest season I can remember. I will throw a post-mortem together in the Phillies thread later. Anyway, 'grats to the Giants. A Rangers-Giants series will be sick.

Ross Gload!!

The most common trait of a troll: just pick and choose what you want to read and respond to. I have been giving the Giants credit all series long, and I have been ripping the Phillies' shortcomings all series. I also mentioned that the Giants seem to be getting more breaks, but please do not say I am putting this series entirely on "luck". That would show you have an inability to read. Anyway..Uribe hits a pop up that leaves the yard, and Ruiz kills a ball, that, if goes an inch to either the left or right, ties the game and puts the go ahead run on 3rd with less than one out. Seems like that has happened a lot in this series, hence the nutshell comment. I'll be back after this inning.

You know exactly what you were doing. Every time I point out that luck is not on the Phillies side, you get very troll-like and deny it. And the numbers aren't lying. Virtually identical for both sides.

And you are a troll in a nutshell.

And that right there would be this series in a nutshell. Chooch killed it. An inch to the right or left and we are tied with the go-ahead run on 3rd with 1 out. Typical.

Wonder what happened to all those Giants fans who have been [expletive]ing about this "bandbox" all week.

Yep...all of my friends in North Jersey/NY are dealing with the same [expletive]. At least you aren't a Phillies fan getting blacked out.

Sanchez is a mental midget.

Ilya Kovalchuk is a healthy scratch tonight. Wowzers.

One would think. But from what I am reading it doesn't look good.

Considering I like MLB and NHL better than either of them, I will be OK .

Torres Sanchez Huff Posey Burrell Ross Uribe Renteria Sanchez Rollins Polanco Utley Howard Werth Victorino Ibanez Ruiz Oswalt Very interesting/surprising Phillies lineup. JRoll leading off, Polly not in between Utley and Howard, Ibanez playing instead of Francisco. Didn't really expect any of this. Jimmy has been making solid contact lately, and he stole those 2 bases in game 5, so I guess that swayed Charlie.

This. And the other team from NY (no offense Fishy).

Yeah. You can be bankrupt and still somehow allowed to spend big at the trade deadline. Only in baseball my friend .

I know exactly what you are saying...I just don't think he is that kind of guy, and he strikes me as the type of guy who will not change no matter how much money/fame he gets. He will be a Yankee, though.

While you are right about where he is going, Cliff Lee is not a "money and fame" guy. He will go there, though, because nobody will offer him anything close to what the Yankees can/will, so he'd obviously be foolish to turn it down.

Shut up, Kingfish.

So, the Flyers play the Leafs tomorrow night at 7. The Flyers supposedly wanted to change it to a 1:00 game, because the Phillies will be playing at either 4 or 8 (depending on the outcome of tonight's Yankees/Rangers game). But they were not allowed to move it, because it is on Hockey Night in Canada. So basically, Hockey Night in Canada is responsible for the epic traffic nightmare in South Philadelphia tomorrow night.

Wonder if/when we will see CC tonight.

Sadly they don't have anyone better. TBS is just horrible with baseball coverage from top to bottom.
