      i put this in another post but i want to put it here since most of the phillie phans are reading this...

      my sister sent me this link last night, after i made a mockery out of the Rays home run song all night, just to tease me lol... shes an orioles fan... anywho,

      DOES THE SINGER HERE LOOK LIKE PAT BURRELL OR WHAT????

    Did Rollins and Howard attend BP? JC- they were terrible!!! I'd have to change the line up. Victorino to lead off and Utley clean up. I hope this was just a case of nerves and a little rust. Thanx to extraordinary pitching we pulled out a win. Imagine what can be done if we played well. Let's go Myers!!!

    Thank God for the win or we'd be ready to crucify the 0-13 performance of the Phils with runners in scoring position. Ryan Howard has been terrible all playoffs, at least J-Roll has hit 2 leadoff homeruns in the clinching games. I expect both to contribute for the Phils to win the World Series.

    I agree GM! It's great to play like sh&t on the road and still win, huh? Can't wait for tonight!

    And Lidge pitched a great closer. I know he always gets out of it, but he scares me!

    The combo of Madson and Lidge is deadly...for the opposition.

  • Madson and Lidge has been unbelievable.

    Madson is now frequently hitting 95 mph and even as high as 97, that's a big difference from earlier in the season when 90-92 was his range. He's dominated, and I'm damn glad of it.

    Lidge is still perfect, and perfect means 100%.

    Magnified Mistakes:
    *Walking the leadoff batter is bad. (Myers)
    *Making an error on a groundball as an outfielder is really bad. (Werth)
    *Popping up foul to the 3rd baseman with no outs and men on 1st and 2nd on the 1st pitch of the at bat just after the previous batter walked is horrible. (Victorino)
    *Watching 3 strikes go by without swinging with a runner on 3rd and only 1 out is f'n horrible. (Dobbs)
    Game far from over, but it's be terrible so far.
