Philadelphia 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.

Let me just say that I love Dodgers baseball. Plus I got the Postseason.tv package so I can finally watch the game with video.

Howard should truly blossom as a NLCS strikeout artist this week.

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.
by desecrator09 on Oct 15, 2009 4:53 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
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!

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.

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.

# jonahkeri Manny was jammed on that popup. That could have been a historic Double #Fisted.
# Jayson Starkjaysonst Manny is 0 for 2, but he’s made Hamels work. Saw 15 pitches in those 2 AB.

just think if alien civilizations could see our commercials
They would think the human species was in danger of becoming extinct, since they clearly have so much trouble with reproduction. :)

I thought he got about 10-15 starts this season

Oh damn
I remember arguing with friends before the season and they were telling me Park would be a really good 4th starter on the Phills, and I kept telling them he was at best a spot starter for the Dodgers and though was good, he would struggle in Philly. Lol, I’m glad I was right.
