NLCS Game 2 Chat - Part IV

look up the numbers and it will say teams that take HFA rarely sweep their home games
the phillies swept the rays at home last year…but lightning striking twice is highly unlikely…

Did anyone say that because I haven't really read anything about yesterdays game?

does Prime Ticket have a post game show like last night?

Been at work the whole day, sneaking peaks at Gameday and TrueBlue. Felt unease as Pedro was dominating us. Yet, for some reason, i felt we had a shot once we go into the bullpen. All I can say is wow, what an 8th inning. Though it was a tough 7 innings from an offensive stadpoint, our ability to stick it out is how championships are made.

by JJ 24 on Oct 16, 2009 4:20 PM PDT reply actions

Cliff lee vs kuroda

I am VERY confident in Kuroda…

in his career vs philly he was went something like 20 innings and giving up 2 ER

And i think we will kill lee cause he is the same pitcher as cole hamels except with a lesser change and a 3rd pitch which is a great cutter

And now we got the momentum going to Philly.

no momentum in baseball

by matthewmafa on Oct 16, 2009 4:27 PM PDT up reply actions

As much as I hate the win/loss stat

The way they pitched, it was fitting that neither Vicente or Pedro got the L

by insomniacslounge on Oct 16, 2009 4:20 PM PDT reply actions

Not sure how Pedro could have gotten a L considering he gave up 0 runs

But Vicente Vindication!

Winning two in Philly sounds very very possible.

Philly’s W-L record at home isn’t something to be scared about.

by bodhiman on Oct 16, 2009 4:22 PM PDT reply actions

i believe in kuroda and wolfy

the one thing that worries me is that Citizens Bank Park is a tiny ass ballpark and home runs fly out of there
i remember last year we were up 2-0 w/ D-lowe and everything went south
whatever i guess i believe we can get the job done…

post game show on FSN PT on now

by Tripon on Oct 16, 2009 4:25 PM PDT reply actions

was watching at school, now at a computer

was watching at a modest, quiet place at school where there were only a few modest fans, not really hardcore, couldn’t really express my joy like I usually do…

anyway, I read part of the last game thread… and seriously… some of you have no fucking decency taking personal shots or character shots at Matt Kemp. He has been the most valuable player on the team for the entire season! give me a fucking break!

i know i know im being a debbie downer after a victory in a must-win playoff game but i will never stop shaking my head at such “fan support” like that… don’t be like a Philly fan, please.

+1000

and ur talking about giants fans actually haha
kemps been performing at a high level all year for us
we wouldnt even be here without him

+1 more

sure, I only add .001 to the overall total, but I wanted my support known anyway.

by insomniacslounge on Oct 16, 2009 4:37 PM PDT up reply actions

1 person saying that

or even 2 doesnt mean the whole fan base so let indviduals say whatever they would like

by matthewmafa on Oct 16, 2009 4:42 PM PDT up reply actions

never implied fanbase

and its not a matter of “let” since I have no power on this board. People can say what they want and by the same token, I can react however they I want to what they say.

by DodgerGlue on Oct 16, 2009 4:51 PM PDT up reply actions

some people think its just so easy to take pitches

just because the pitcher walked a guy on 5 pitches. I thought Jason Giambi should’ve made Lidge throw more strikes in one of the NLDS games before popping up on a 1-strike count but then I realized that Giambi is one of the smartest hitters of all time and his only consistent asset at the plate is walking. Maybe it is not as easy as it looks.

its been a stressful week, i need to enjoy this win more. I’m going to get some booze. In the meantime, be APPRECIATIVE of the Bison guys :)

That he was glad that he had dark enough sunglasses, and that he knew that if he didn't glove it, it would have hit somewhere on his body.
