It's The One Thing
If we’ve learned one thing the 2nd half of the season and even in these playoffs, it’s that we can’t expect Manny to carry us to a W.S. title. We are going to have to improve in other areas and hope that people like Billingsley regress back to their previous talent level.

ALL the umps suck this postseason.
I mean, if they can miss two Yankees being out because they were both tagged when NEITHER was standing on the base, how can they possibly be expected to call fair balls fair, notice when someone is actually hit by a pitch, and call a strike a strike just because the catcher might be sitting in a different position?
Just horrible. And baseball can’t be happy that the excretory officiating is one of the biggest stories of the playoffs, either – but that’s just tough.

Let's not forget there were major blown calls that went against the Twins, Rockies, and the Red Sox
Though in the case of the Twins, I don’t feel sorry for them because they got all the breaks to get into the postseason. And I don’t feel sorry for the Red Sox because I don’t like them. I felt bad for the Rockies, though.

really hard to win games
when you have only 4 balls to work with and you have to throw 4 sometimes 5 strikes to strike a batter out…
Really this is what the difference in the series was and i am very disappointed that in my first full season of watching baseball, the dodgers season had to end because of horrible ball strike calls and Horrible horrible home field advantage calls…

We got out played
by PHAT JULIO on Oct 21, 2009 7:53 PM PDT up reply actions 1 recs
hard to blame the umpiring for a series loss. The calls were consistently bad on both sides. However, when the strike zone isn’t consistent, the Phillies have the power up and down the lineup to take advantage of pitches in the middle of the zone. The Dodgers power has shown up with the bases empty or not at all.

Here’s our last chance. Even though I lurked most of the season, it was fun to be a part of it. We had a great first half and a not-so great (sometimes even embarrassing) second half, but we made it. Here we are about to face reality. It’ll hurt for a few days but that feeling will fade and all we will be left with are the memories and hope for a better next year. Go dodgers!
