I forgot, Flyers in town too!

Re: World Series
 

I agree. I hope it goes to 7 games and is decided by one run in the 10th inning.

Re: World Series
 

Eagles won earlier today, The Who is in concert this evening, and the Phillies are looking good to win game 4. Philadelphia look out!!!

Re: World Series
 

Another great game last night!

Lets go Phils!

If they win this thing at home South Philly is going to be unreal.

Re: World Series
 

I bet.... I could only imagine how fun that party would be! :D

Re: World Series
 

I'm afraid this one is over. Pena and Longo have gone stone cold at the plate, the defense that has been simply awesome all year suddenly looks very suspect, and our pitchers can not get ahead in the count.

Unfortunately I think the big stage and the pressure that comes with it is finally starting to come home to roost with these young guys. And Philly just looks damn good. Other than stranding a bunch of runners, they've been outstanding.

Oh well, got to take it one game at a time though. Anything can still happen.

Re: World Series
 

Don't be afraid, embrace reality!! Just messing with ya, but yes it's over! Tonight with Hamels on the mound we're going to seal the deal and win the 2008 World Series! Howard is back and hitting well, Rollins is connecting with the ball, the middle and end of our lineup continue to come through (minus Burrell) and our pitching has been outstanding! You have to love the PHILS!! Tonight I'll be in the city and it's going to be CRAZY!! I cannot wait.

Re: World Series
 

I hope it is isn't over.
Lets see how these young Rays handle the pressure down 3-1.

BTW, didn't that umpire see half that glove disappear up the guys behind and yet called him safe?:r

Re: World Series
 

There have been a number of questionable calls, but at least they have gone both ways. In addition to the close call at second there was the is it a balk/isn't it a balk.
Going the other way - Burrell getting called out looking on a ball that almost took his head off and Rollings getting hit but not getting a base, the checked swing that the HB ump called but the first base ump didn't...

The craziest thing has been the size of the strike zone and that has definitly been going both ways.

Re: World Series
 

2-2 in the bottom of the 6th when the umps finally smartened up and stopped the game due to rain. Game 5 resumes Tuesday night weather permitting.

Re: World Series
 

From where I'm sitting it's not looking to promising that the weather is going to permit.

Re: World Series
 

At least Hamels is done. :al

Re: World Series
 

Any weather update in Philly?
AS of this afternoon?

Re: World Series
 

Fox Sports is reporting that it will be delayed until Wednesday.

I kinda think Philly got jobbed on the deal...

Re: World Series
 

Weather update in Philly is it's Raining! Actually snowing here! Craziest thing I have seen in this area in years. Tonight's game will not be played in my opinion. It's 39 degress, with wind chill in the high 20's, and it's been raining/snowing all day long. The game will be played perhaps Wed. or Thurs., but who knows since baseball just makes it up as they go anyways as you saw last night.

As a Phillies fan, that game was the most emotional and difficult to watch.

Re: World Series
 

The Phillies got jammed plain and simple. The conditions they were playing in was a joke, in all my years playing baseball I had never seen a game go in conditions like that. Bud Selig got what he wanted, to see the Rays tie the game and get him off the hook for calling the game.

Re: World Series
 

Not sure if that's true, but it does look that way. I thought that myself too. Waited until the Rays tied up the game to call it.

Re: World Series
 

45 min until restart.

Go Phillies!

Re: World Series
 

Oh my god!!! :):d:d:d:d:d:d:d:d

Re: World Series
 

Congrats to the Phillies, at least the Rays did not win

Re: World Series

Salutes to you!:salute:

Re: World Series
 

Congrats to all the Phillies fans! It must be quite a long and rewarding wait to win one again after so long...:tu

Now if I can get my damn Rockies to do anything besides lose consistently lol...

Re: World Series
 

Thanks for the well wishes!

My best friend is down in Argentina, teaching and just saw this. He's converted the whole town to a bunch of die hards.

Go Phils!

Going to be at the latter half of the parade tomorrow.

Re: World Series
 

Congrats Phillies and their fans from a Rays fan. They deserved it. They sure outplayed the Rays. Still an awesome year for my guys. :D

Re: World Series
 

Absolutely. The Rays played great ball and had an awesome season, what a turnaround from last year!
