I forgot it was on this early.

I can’t remember anything; Andre Ethier must have slipped me a roofie.

Go Phillies!

Even though I harbor a deep dislike for a good portion of this team (Yes, I’m including your son, Jeffrey Jay McGowan) , and the only person I do like is Jamie Moyer, and they peed all over him with Pedro, I hate the Dodgers with the intensity of a thousand suns, an intensity only exceeded by my hatred for the Cubs.

Yeah, it takes a lot for the Phillies to become the good guy.

Manny Ramirez has just SUCKED this post-season.

Moreover, he hasn’t been phenomenal in the regular season. He hit under .300 for the season, which isn’t like him.

That's how it is in baseball

Really regional. It’s hard to like another team.

In football, it’s easier to pick a team to root for in the playoffs.

but in ’06 remember we finished like 5 or 6 games ahead of the Cards.

And we were 4-2 against them in the regular season.

They had a record like we had in 2005—83-79.

They just got hot right at the time we cooled off. Big time.

Dodger crowd applauding Padilla on his way out.

They should boo their hitters. They’re playing like they did to close out the season. They must have a hard time getting it up for the Phillies.
