Originally posted by PocketKingsThe Phillies get plenty of credit. ESPN had a whole story devoted to Jamie Moyer today, among other things.

It was disgusting the way that game went. It was hard to tell who the Brewers were playing because they weren't talked about at all. TBS is being just like ESPN. The Phillies get no credit.
Bush surprised me. He had been pitching better down the stretch, so I guess that just carried over. It's Suppan that's really going to be dangerous. Either he'll shut the Phils down, or he'll give up 10 runs over two innings. 😛
I really thought the Phillies were going to take it in the 9th. Man, I can't count how many times that has happened.
By the way, I was listening to game 1 on the radio the other day, and Bob Uecker gave Cole Hamels all kinds of credit, which he obviously deserved, if that helps. 😉
Tomorrow should be fun.

I just don't see the Phillies being denied twice more though. I also don't see the Phillies stopping the Dodgers.
Originally posted by shortcircuitI agree. After the National Anthem was sung during the 7th inning stretch, Uecker came on and said 'That version of the National Anthem was longer than the first 5 innings of this game', then made various other comments making fun of the performance 😛.

I pretty much agree. The Phillies have a great chance to wrap it up today. If that were to happen, though, that would only help the Dodgers as they'd be able to take the field again soon while they still have all this momentum. Fun stuff this year.
Think the Sox and Rays will clinch today?
