PrintPhiladelphia Phillies at Los Angeles Dodgers, Oct 15, 2009 5:07 PM PDT
The Dodgers and Phillies are set for the first NLCS rematch since 2005 (Astros/Cardinals). Speaking of the Cardinals, I wrote a NLDS review for The Hardball Times, which can be read here, as well as an NLCS preview here. I also answered some questions from Whole Camels over on The Good Phight.
Here are the lineups for Game 1:
| Phillies | Dodgers |
|||
| SS | Rollins |
SS | Furcal |
|
| CF | Victorino |
RF | Ethier | |
| 2B | Utley | LF | Manny | |
| 1B | Howard | CF | Kemp | |
| RF | Werth |
3B | Blake | |
| LF | Ibañez |
1B | Loney | |
| 3B | Feliz |
2B | Belliard |
|
| C | Ruiz | C | Martin | |
| P | Hamels |
P | Kershaw | |

Go Blue!
Jumping on Hamels early would be huge and exactly what the doctor ordered.
Go Dodgers! I’m so ready for this!
You wanna know how great baseball is? The greatest basketball player ever left his sport to play baseball.
Would you go so far as to say you “live for this™”?

Might as well post it here, too.
Phuck the Phillies. Go Dodgers!! Treat Howard like a nuclear weapon.

I hate this “let’s build playoff momentum by taking a break for several days” business. :(
"While there's life, there's hope." --Cicero
I hope the league doesnt delay any of the games just cuz of the fucking rain
we’ve already had more than enough off days for a baseball postseason. Besides its just the friggin rain! lol. Football players go out there and play in friggin 20 degrees with snow storms! Now you know why baseball has that stereotype of players being pussies.
Well, they're not going to delay 10 games because it's raining
Just one. Besides, football players wear a lot of pads and baseball players don’t even all wear cups.

come on man
theres still ALOT more risk of injury playin fuckin football than baseball. Thats pretty obvious. And they dont need delay anymore games just cuz of a little rain. Suck it up and play some Major League playoff ball!

Is that last year I paid much less attention to the playoffs because I didn’t have anyone to talk to about the games. With a conversation to participate in, I have a lot more interest. :)

If I may ask...
Who did you guys root for in the other NLDS series? I would’ve rooted for the Dodgers in the NLCS regardless, but I really don’t like the Phillies. I wanted them knocked out like the Red Sox were.
I was rooting for Colorado
I picked up Tulo as a rookie in fantasy, and as much as it frightens me to say it, he’s the best shortstop in baseball right now.

Rockies would have been an easier matchup for us IMHO
Plus, I live in Philly and can’t take much more of these fans. we NEED to win here.

From the is Bill Plaschke paying attention department
via Twitter.
From the Dodgers, at 5:05:
“The Infield” just threw out the first pitch: Russell, Cey, Garvey and a ‘visiting’ Lopes
From Plaschke, seconds later
Three-fourths of great Dodger infield threw out first pitch — Ron Cey, Bill Russell, Steve Garvey…where was Davey Lopes?..
Full disclosure
I’m not watching on TV yet, so I have no idea what actually happened. Just thought the differing info was funny.

my mom's most hated baseball rule
Her logic is, that no one says when they are going to steal, the catcher doesn’t inform the batter what the pitcher is going to throw – if a batter is fooled by the pitcher, then he deserves to be out.
Deception is an inherent part of the game of baseball.

Fucking NICE.
And already one Philly bonehead baserunning play.
The good news is 3 of the Dodgers hit Hamels really well (Furcal – right to Ibanez though, Ethier and Kemp). When Hamels dominated the Dodgers no one was hitting him well at all. I’m optimistic.

I just don't like Bradley
It may not be entirely rational, but he falls into the category of “players I do not want on my team and if management gets stupid and picks them up anyway, I will cheer for him to get a series of minor injuries so he is never in the lineup and I can pretend he doesn’t exist.”

He is, but he's just expensive.
I like him too – but it’s easy for me to dismiss high contracts since it isn’t my money. :)

There are scads of us here. But I’ve hated guys who got my team players I liked, too – I begruded them every moment they were in my team’s uniform and didn’t have an injury so I could pretend they weren’t on the roster.
