NLCS Game 4 Chat - Part IV

This year isn’t as bad, for me, because I already know what the Phillies scrubs are capable of. Stairs last year was like getting kicked in the balls over and over.

I actually dont blame broxton - this is on Sherril

His 8th was atrocious and forced Broxton to come in early and then wait in cold for 20 minutes. Its on sherril. he has been AWFUL this series.

If you take the lowest points of any players season

you’ll always have a reason to be up in arms. Were you up in arms with Kuroda yesterday? The entire offense on Friday? Kershaw and Sherrill on Thursday?

This season is, in all likelihood, going to end on a shitty note. That does not mean the season was a failure and the players were shit.

by prosellis on Oct 19, 2009 9:28 PM PDT up reply actions

Actually...

Yes, yes, and yes. After a night of binge drinking to wipe the memory of last night’s game away, I’m no longer mad at the team, just mightily disappointed. This was the best team we’ve had, on some levels, in two or three decades. I can’t remember the last time we’ve had such a balanced attack of a great lineup, capable bench, surprising starting rotation, and a shut down bullpen, and that’s the reason I’m so upset with not just last night’s game, but the whole series. Last year, sure, they might have been a better team, but this year, things were supposed to be different, and I think we all thought that.

There are no words

But I will try anyway.

I don’t think i have ever been more depressed when it comes to sports, or maybe at all, then I am right now. Broxton was dealing, he was just straight throwing fire. He seemed to pull a Lidge and couldn’t stop thinking about the 08 NLCS homerun given up to Stairs and didn’t throw a single pitch near the plate. Then he beans Ruiz. He pitched well to the next batter, and then to the start of Rollins’ at bat.

One fucking heart-breaking, smashing it on the floor and stomping on it pitch put the Dodgers chances to go to the World Series the same as the Clippers chances to make the Western Conference Finals.

I’ll still watch on Wednesday, but as a baseball fan I almost feel dead inside right now. Also, my hate for the Phillies has climbed to new levels I never dreamed possible…I hope for them to burn in Hades for all eternity.

I think that covers it for now.

dealing?

no offense, but putting a guy that looks like a truck driver and a catcher on base without throwing a strike is not ‘dealing’. brox just blew it. lidge was better, and that’s just sad.

Hey all

Sorry but I wasn’t trying to be a dick in my earlier post. Dodgers are a real good team. Hard fought series that is far from over especially with red-hot Padilla throwing against an inconsistent Hamels.

I just enjoy reading this blog b/c you get a different perspective on the game rather than readin the same stuff from Phils fans. See you guys on Wedn.
