First thing I thought when I saw that was Freddy Mitchell calling out Rodney Harrison before the super bowl, and we all know how that turned out...

9 1/2 hours till the teabagging begins....everyone ready for a huge dose of Yankee ballbags?

Those in Philly...is there a chance that God will try to stop the Phillies from even starting the World Series this time? Looks like rain...trying to make plans and wondering if it willbe postponed.

Z010 Union · Oct 28, 2009

Rollins will pop up to set the tone.

Not only that but tonight's game will be delayed, we will be up until 1 AM just to see the loss. Unless Bud Selig reverses course and grants the mercy rule.

Dills · Oct 28, 2009

I heard they are canceling the WS and just handing the pennant over to the Wankers tonight. All the Phillies have come down with a new strain of the flu ... Game1N1.

No, they'll play in the rain. The wet will make the bat fly out of Ryan Howard's hands on his first at-bat and give Jimmy Rollins, at first base, a season-ending concussion. Out of guilt, Howard will bunt for every at-bat for the rest of the series.

Did anyone see the cover of this week's Sports Illustrated, we are doomed.

Less than 2 hours.

We're dicked

Were still gonna get swept...Yankees in 4

celt1997 · Oct 29, 2009

It's very obvious that the Yankees sent in their "stand-ins" because they didn't want to get wet last night. It was a nice gesture, but now the real players will show up tonight and it'll be Yanks in 5.

sara_laughs · Oct 29, 2009

After last night, I may have to eat my words about your superstitious idiocy.

Captain Obvious statement of the night by the FOX announcers:

"Both teams have won seven games to get here."

Really? No shit.

Z010 Union · Oct 29, 2009

Well, at least the only game we'll win in this series made the 1950 team feel better. Sadly, that game by Lee was once in a lifetime, he'll get shelled in the deciding game five and we will forget all about his masterpiece.

I still say Yanks in 4. There's got to be some loophole that they'll exploit.

and utley will go the next four games 0-16 without even hitting the ball out of the infield.

Optimist. I can't believe you think he'd make contact.

and if yankee pitching gets that outside strike call there is no way...

Seriously. It's like all the umps got together and said "Mo's a nice guy, let's just call everything he throws a strike."

Dills · Oct 30, 2009

Well I think we know who Pedro's daddy is now. His name is AJ Burnett.

Thankfully the Phillies we all know and (dis)like showed up last night. Way to not let us down, fellas.

JamesonSoB · Oct 30, 2009

i blame myself... i actually felt hope after Pedro struck out Tex and A-Rod right before Godzilla homered. never again.

never. again.

Z010 Union · Oct 30, 2009

Anyone that had confidence yesterday, can you shut the eff up now? We're going down like a fat girl in Bill Clinton's office (or like W's IQ since he was born)

sara_laughs · Oct 30, 2009

Hmm, well I had hope to start and then I stopped allowing myself to think that way because of this thread and then we lost. So I think I'm going back to hopeful.
