2009 NLCS Champs!!!

Actually, if you charge a powerfully hit ball, it can end up bouncing over your head.  Most people watching have actually NEVER played the game of baseball.  I think Joe Buck is great.

Can't defend McCarver though, so let's just throw him under the bus.  You gotta admit, Buck and Aikman call a great football game.

And game 3. And game 4.

We're happy here in NY. Most of us, anyway. :-/

Yankees in 6

Thanks, Mike.  You're repeating yourself.  I, too, said Yanks in 6 right before you did... the first time.

Well tonight is game six. I [i]think[/i] the Phillies can win this. If the bats say hot like in game 5 & Howard can find his swing we will be in great shape. Pedro has full rest & you know he is pumped up for this one. Just like game two. He pitched great! Although, you can pitch an amazing game but if your team only scores 1 run it really doesn't matter. Pettet is pitching on three days rest. That will play into the Phillies favor. Just win tonight!!! What happens in game seven (should the be one), happens. If the Phils lose in game seven I'm OK w/ that.  Of course I want them to win but I won't  be devistated if they don't.
As for McCarver & Buck, they are head & shoulders above the amatures that TBS had on during the first two rounds of the playoffs. At least McCarver isn't pluging his CD anymore!

[b]LET GO PHILLIES!!!!!!![/b]

I'm predicting a Game 7, with the Yanks better pitching prevailing.  I hate the Yanks, but it's hard for me to root against Jeter.  Saw him play one game in highschool.  At least someone from Kalamazoo went on to great success. 

Oh, yes, TBS.......I didn't think they could do baseball worse than golf.....but I was wrong.  I miss the old days of ABC and NBC.  CBS never quite got it right.

M'wave....I think Joe Buck and Troy Aikman are superb as well.  But Joe's heart is not into baseball as much.  He's admitted to it, and it shows.  And the play I described earlier.....a line drive about ten feet to the left of the 2B, landed about thirty feet in front of the RF. 

Wonder how many people survived Sunday....what with the Giants also in Philly that day.  A great spoof of it appeared on Monday's 'The Daily Show'.  Then again, there wasn't that much satire in it.

Seven to one.  I'm afraid it's not looking promising for your boys, Steve.  Matsui's having quite a night.

Edit:  Sorry Steve.  I wasn't the Phillies' year to go all the way.  Next year! [/QUOTE]

at least the Yankee Stadium faithful were hearty singers of the We Are The Champions chorus (pity FOX cut away for the final one for replays, and cut away during the final verses of 'New York, New York').  Chin up, Phillie fans, it could be worse....you could be a Pirate, Royal, or Oriole follower.
