If the dodgers can’t hit a home run in philly their never going to hit in in LA – but i guarantee the Phils will be hitting some bombs on the west coast.

CBP’s the Phillies bandox’ yet most writers favoured the Dodgers to take at least one of the first two games. Around the last game at Yankee stadium there was a hell of a lot of press on Babe Ruth power numbers and wasn’t it 290 in left when he played there?

The colder weathers more of a home-field advantage for the Phils than the size of the field, if it’s so easy to hit a HR here then why didn’t the ‘power Dodgers’ go long?

last night Madson was at like 92 I think… where as lately we’ve seen him around 95-96… but Hamels was 90-91, instead of 94pmh so maybe Fox uses a different radar gun than Comcast SportsNet ??

I know he’s got a good changeup, but I just think its ridiculous that whoever is left in the playoffs or performs well is automatically “the best” at whatever the subject is..

More people could get to know things about baseball if they would have shown what movement Lowe has on his sinker vs. the other “bests” such as Webb and Wang.. just to show people how effective it can be.. i dunno what the hell im talking about but those two things caught my ears last night and I started gettting annoyed by too much talking from announcers and experts!

Madson’s changeup is pretty nasty. Especially considering that Hamels sometimes takes an inning or two to settle in and really get that changeup working. Madson doesn’t have that liberty, so it has to be working the second he steps on the mound. Plus, he’s gunning the ball in there at like 97 MPH now, which can make the change even more devastating.

Don M…Madson’s change up is on par with Hamels.

yea definitely play something where you drink everytime the announcers have a mouthfull of Dodger-cock.. you’ll get smashed

So last night.. before the game started, did anyone else hear Kevin Kennedy say that Derek Lowe has “THE BEST SINKER IN BASEBALL” ….. Really?.. Better than Webb and Chien Ming Wang????

And then last night our boy Mitch Williams said that Ryan Madson has the best changeup on the staff!!!! Maybe he forgot Cole Hamels pitches for us too ..??

Point is… these guys are told to talk non-stop or write non-stop about the playoffs.. so most of their stories, and quotes are ridiculous

haha probably Don M. We can also play a game where we take a shot of everclear everytime something positive is said about the Phillies, but then we wouldn’t be getting drunk.

My friends and I are playing a drinking game tonight. Every time the announcers talk about Manny we’re going to drink. I think we’ll need like 12 cases of beer though. We all know how they like to suck Manny’s d*ck.

you knew that was going to be the story after the game… Instead of Hamels staying composed and pitching great after giving up a first inning run.. and then going down 2-0…

The Phillies got lucky that we were playing in our own park because ours HR wouldn’t have been HR in Dodger Stadium..

Did the Dodgers hitters also get to bat at our stadium last night, or did they have to hit somewhere else??? I swore to god that the fences were the same distances and dimensions for their guys too.. maybe not though.

So yea, anyway, F the media… today’s articles are “Don’t forget the FIGHTIN Phillies!” ….and all the guys making sure they cover their ground by giving you the reasons we COULD win the series, just in case we do, and then they’ll remind us that they told us all how dangerous the Phillies are….. You have to realize that these guys get paid to fill pages in the newspaper, and sometimes they just want to mail-it-in instead of writing real, actual stories
