I forgot it was on this early.
I can’t remember anything; Andre Ethier must have slipped me a roofie.

Pitchers' duel so far.

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.
"And now for something completely different"
Yeah, it takes a lot for the Phillies to become the good guy.
A lot, or the Dodgers.
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔

Most fans when our teams don’t do well don’t like to go to the games.

if I lived in San Diego and my wife didn’t hate baseball.

who we kidding
if we were in the play-offs, we’d sell out all right – the opposing team fans would have all our tickets!

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.

Players are supposed to start declining in their late 30's, we're just used to the 'roid era

I wish there was a neither option on the poll
I would love a west coast series, but I just can’t pull for the Dodgers and I don’t really care for the Phillies either.

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.

Agreed.
I love my Padres and ONLY my Padres. I’m only rooting for the Angels this postseason out of obligation.

Eh at least it was our team
So i could get behind it and watch it. Maybe I am just apathetic about this series.
Ahh watching teams get swept in the first round by St. Louis
But at least it was my team getting swept.
This is a terrible thing for the Padres. - Jerry Coleman
Yeah, i really don't like any of the teams left

I went to one of those WS games
Even though we got swept the energy in the Q was just awesome.
This is a terrible thing for the Padres. - Jerry Coleman
I went to
game 1 & 2 of the ’06 playoffs and game 3 of the ’05 playoffs….not impressed with the crowds. ’96 & ’98 were much more electric.
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.

What is the lifetime record
for Pads v Cards? Seems like they always give us fits, but could just be those playoffs that put that into my head.

When he was with the Mets last year?
That’s the one we won when Tony Clark hit his only home run with the Padres.

only 87 pitches through 7. He could go one more.

Just from the body language when they showed Pedro
And that he is supposed to be up 3rd in the inning I can see that he is done.
Yeah they're PH with Dobbs.

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.
“It’s hard for us to get up unless it’s a team like San Francisco that we’re in a race with.”

Utley
just totally air-mailing the throw. That’s the second time he’s done that this series. They had the double play perfectly set up.

I think I’d rather the Dodgers win, because I feel the Angels match up better against them.
