[JRoll]

Damn, I wanted to see Anaheim go into the South Bronx to beat the Yankees.

[PhilaVa]

Damn, I wanted to see Anaheim go into the South Bronx to beat the Yankees.

Well, I'm officially a Red Sox fan from here on out, lets go Curt.

Anaheim looks like a tough matchup, I love the playoffs though, cannot wait till Tuesday.

[JRoll]

I've been an Angels fan since Eckstein started playing short for them. So.....

GO HALOS!!

[Domino427]

Aight I want LA vs. Houston and Boston vs. Minnesota

Then I could care less...I'd like to see Boston because of all the hell that team has been through...but I could live with any of the teams...I'd like to see Bagwell and Biggio finally get one, nearing the end of their careers...and I like Minnesota's small-market, big-talent team.

Actually I'll go with St Louis and Boston, like to see Rolen and Schilling in the World Series. Have to with the former Phils who played their hearts out for us.

[Domino427]

Yeah, but I still don't like Rolen that much. I respect the guy because he does play hard and has made himself into a hell of a ball player (I really wasn't sold on his hitting in Philly). But I never liked his off-field attitude.

Not to mention I can't stand Tony LaRussa. That guy is a total ass-hole. I just can't stand him.

[JLove22]

yeah im feeling the cards vs. red sox, that would be great, huge rolen fan, im glad he is doing well

[PhilaVa]

Cannot argue with that, I don't like LaRussa what so ever. Like I said I'll root for the Red Sox as a team, and then certain players on the NL side, Biggio, Bagwell, Rolen.

sup philly. just curious what your feelings about eric milton are. i'm a twins fan and interested in your thoughts. i believe is contract is up, correct? he put up a nice record, but not such a stellar e.r.a. is your front office trying to resign him? silva worked out pretty nicely for us and i was just wondering what the future for milton is with the phillies. peace, best of luck next season.

Milton is a great guy, we loved having him here, it worked out well for both of us, but he does not fit well with our new park. I wish we could keep him but it wouldn't be a good sign. If we do sign him, I think it can't be for anything over 5 Mil a year which I'm not sure he would accept but I do not think we should sign him, he won't be as successful in this park.

His stuff just isn't that great on a consistent basis. I wish him well, but I wish it with some other team.

[brgood]

The only way Milton is back in a Phillies Uniform next season is if he takes a big paycut, he lead the league in Home Runs Allowed, and his 4.75 ERA was horrible, his fastball is just not good enough to throw by anyone anymore.

aight thanks guy. i think it worked out for both teams. silva was a solid #3 for us and fit our budget. you guys can take on more payroll...and even tho i think milton was overpaid...he's still a good pitcher. good luck with your prospects, floyd and howard should be great. and even if you trade howard because of thome, you should get some definate quality in return. i've always liked the phillies. i had thome, madson, and burrell(until he got hurt) on my fantasy team and they served me well. won 2 out of 3 leagues. i would say good luck to the eagles too...but this is the phillies boards....and i'm a vikings fan. :)

and hey, I'd like to say that I'm rooting for the Twins, but I'd rather see the Sox win..LoL..is Silva part of the post season rotation?

[ole]

yup, silva will be the #3 starter.

[PhilaVa]

yup, silva will be the #3 starter.

Nice, haven't been able to watch him start a game not once this year, never even thought about it actually. Will enjoy watching it this friday I believe in Minny...Santana going to pictch Game four if neccessary?

[ole]

it hasn't been announced yet. it the twins are down 2-1, santana would most certainly start game 4, and radke game 5. if we're up 2-1...i don't know...we might try to win it with santana, or maybe give lohse ( :( ) a start and let santana go for game 5.

All I know is that I cannot wait for it to get started...woo woo...

[ole]

no doubt. baseball playoffs kick ass!!! time to tap this keg!!!

[thomeismyhomie]

Sorry fellas but I want Milton back. He'll probably accept for 6 mill per year and I take him for that. Give the guy some respect for actually showing up to the park and playing his ass off. He put so much pressure on himself once he went form our #4 to our ace. He'll be much better next season and I really dont want it to happen in pinstripes. Give the guy his do and offer him a contract. If he doesnt take it, fine, let him walk but give him a crack.

I wouldn't be entirely upset if he was brought back but I do not think that it would be a smart decision for our team in making us a contender. We would be better of with Cory Lidle then Milton due to the Park. I love the effor the guy gave but given up the most HRs in the league just isn't going to get it done for us.

Man Phila....I do agree with you. I really do. He probably isnt right for us. I just hate watching guys get sent packing like that...if he does. From what he gave to the team this year, he just doesnt deserve it. Lidle is the perfect fit for us, especially for the price and there is only going to be so many spots available.

Well, don't worry, he is left handed and he breaths oxygen so he won't be out of a job long, he'd be perfect fit with the Yankees.

God man...please dont say things like that

Ok, we can keep this thread going with some post season chat off of what started with the Minny question...three games today/tonight, I don't know about the rest of you but I can't wait to watch even if the Phillies aren't playing.

I'm definitely rooting for the Twins in the AL, though I suppose the Sox winning would be ok just cause. In the NL, I'd actualy like to see Houston get there since we were their springboard. I'd also like to see Biggio and Bagwell get some glory.

[thomeismyhomie]

Man, what a pickup he's turning out to be for the Cards. Homer makes it 2-0.

Sure is, the Cardinals look to be picking up right where they left off during the regular season, good pitching and a killer lineup.

Yes, I am off to a good start although I have the Astros beating the Cards I think....got another great game to go, I wonder if Joe Buck is calling the game?

[JLove22]

it appears so, go twins, tired of the yankees and what is up with the twins D, thought they were good, they should have had two that they have missed so far

[manny]

no offense, but I gotta hope my Braves rain on all of your parades, gotta get some respect back by getting to the Series again.

I know I'll be rooting for the Stros come tommorrow..great catch by Stewart!

[JLove22]

yeah, good luck it will be tough, going against the astros pitching than either the cards or la, personally I hope the braves choke bigger than the eagles in 3 straight championship games

---yeah good to see the D is back, their outfielders are sicc at defense especially hunter...check out that gun

Even better play from Hunter throwing out Posada, this Yanks - Twins series has started out great. Lets Go Twins.

[JLove22]

yeah you got me before i edited my post, if the twins can get the offense working they will be in good shape, they need to win the games that santana pitches wouldnt want to waste great pitching

[PhilaVa]

There is a single...Santana doens't look too sharpe so far...but then again I was making a sandwich during the last half inning.

Stewart, MVP of the Playoffs right now...

Could you imagine the defense in CF if the Twins were to face the Cards in the World Series? I will be happy as long as the Yankees lose, and even happier if the Braves chole again, but to see the defense of those 2 CF's together would be something else.

The Twins have played great tonight, 4 double plays in 5 innings, now JJ hits a HR after finding out his Dad has died... 2-0 Twins.

[DaveBrownisgod]

The Twins have played great tonight, 4 double plays in 5 innings, now JJ hits a HR after finding out his Dad has died... 2-0 Twins.I just got home, so this is the first I am seeing of them, but they are so good defensively. I had no idea his father died, how horrible that must be to be there playing a game instead, although maybe it will keep his mind off of things a little.

[PhilaVa]

You missed the first inning, or maybe the second. Stewart made a leaping catch at the track, posada tagged and went to third. Next play Torii recored a double play throwing posada out at the plate, made a perfect throw. I really enjoy watching these twins play ball.

[JLove22]

yeah, lets go koskie drive in that run

[DaveBrownisgod]

Kind of maked me wish I got to see them a little bit more. I read about the throw to the plate on Posada, I am used to seeing Hunter's highlight reelplays in the outfield. And now I just saw the replay of the great defensive plays. Jones is a hell of a right fielder too, he gets over shadowed by Hunter I think, but he can play too.

They all can play, I hope they knock the Yanks out and not just b/c I picked them in the pool either to do so...

I agree with you on that, I could care less about the picks. After the start of interleague play I have been to almost all of the Yanks games that were here (in Philly), I was so disgusted with the fans that came down from NY, I basically don't want to see the Yankees ever win a game again.

[DaveBrownisgod]

Plus it is great to see a "small market" team like this manage their payroll so well that they can win 3 straight years, just by bringing in the right players for that team. Great management, wish I could say the same here.

I'm not going to lie, it's more about hating the Yanks for me...almost another DP..btw, Santana looked great in that AB...

[JLove22]

yeah its a combo of both for me, tired of the yanks and plus it is good to see a team that was going to be contracted to making the playoffs and now might have success this year, it would be great to see

[DaveBrownisgod]

Beating the Yankees is the number 1 thing I want to see in this year's playoffs. Well maybe number 2, but I don't see anyway the Phils could magically get in now.

[DaveBrownisgod]

Not to get really off topic, but the man who just sang God Bless America, made Barry White's voice seem as high as Mariah Carey's. No insult intended because he could sing damn well, but I couldn't believe that. I am also really partial to them making the effort to dedicate it to the service members around the world.

I thought it was a good rendition, meanwhile look at that call...look like the Furcal HR, except these umps actually have a brain and got it correct.

[DaveBrownisgod]

Boy did that foul ball home run bring back memories. At least this one was called correctly.

[JLove22]

yeah im glad to see that they got it right, that call was huge

This one was a little more important than the one they got wrong in Philly, so at least they double checked.

[PhilaVa]

The one in Philly was even worse than this one though, so it makes you wonder even more what on earth those Umps were thinking that evening.

My guess is lets get out of here quickly tonight, but I don't think that worked out too well for them. That was a really bad call though.

I like the odds of them going to Minne 2-0. The Yankees just are lacking when it comes to pitching, I can't figure out how a team that spends that much can be lacking in any area, but here we are.

Just got in from work guys...looks like I missed a great postseason game in NYC. I had it on the computer but I just saw the highlights on TV. Man, Tori Hunter can play some D. Phila...what happened with JJ's dad? You mentioned it in an earlier post in this thread.

Not sure of specifics but his dad passed away and he had to take the red eye late last night just to get to the game tonight, got to NYC early in the morning.

Comes up big and hits a HR, gotta love a story line like that.

Torri's D tonight was amazing, I really do love watching the Twins play, expecially when they are beating the Yanks.

The best part about it FOX went from the catch to a close up of ARods face...priceless...Gotta love Torii...overall the best game of the postseason so far. Santana threw a 7 shutout with his average stuff.

Arod had a bad game, defensively looked not like himself. The twins have a good opprotunity to go home up 2-0 with Radke v. Lieber tommorrow.

He has been good at home lately, but the Twins need to jump on him early and often otherwise this is going to be 1-1 and Carlos Silva will be starting Game 3.

I can't wait to watch that, haven't been able to watch the old Phillie since he left...he had a pretty good year.

Oh well, should be fun, but all games are on ESPN tommorrow, no Joe Buck until Thursday.....Only have one class tommorrow then, it's all baseball.

I'm lucky I dont' have any test this week, I hope I don't have much during the Series either, I can't stand to miss much.

It sucks the games are on ESPN though cause our TV at work doesnt have cable. I was too busy to get to watch it tonight but I'll definitely work on that for next time.

[PhilaVa]

Yes, the Astros are taking it to the Braves! And exposing Jaret Wright for what he really is, a crappy pitcher.

[JRoll]

Astros put up a 4 spot in the 3rd on 2 HR's and an RBI double.

I just got home from school seems like I missed a good game this afternoon. Mainly because the Braves lost. Hopefully the Twins will pull game 2 out and make this a great day.

Wouldn't it be so great to see the yanks ousted by these guys? Anybody know real quick how many more times the Yanks' payroll is than the Twins?

I think it is about 5 times, off the top of my head I believe it is around 190 vs. 40 or so.

[DaveBrownisgod]

(1) New York $184,193,950 vs. (19) Minnesota $53,585,000, so it is closer to 3 1/2 times. It is still great though if they knock them off.:cool:

There's an arm we could sure use right there, Jason Varitek

That HR seals it, Varitek better be in Philly as the catcher next year.

I am rooting for the Sox, not because of Schilling, but just cause I want to see them break the curse so we stop having to hear about it. Then maybe we can get some sympathy. Of course, we'd have to wait for the Cubs, Indians etc. first

I dont know if anyone else saw Real Sports with Bryant Gumble last year when they did the special on Jorge Posada and all that has happened to his baby boy. Damn, I cried the entire segment.

[Nittany Tar Heel]

Yeah, this team is way harder to hate then the ones in the past. No question. But anytime my hatred for them slips, they always have a home game and I get all the hatred back.


Game 1 is Tuesday in NY, BTW.

LOL

Speaking of crying and trying to uplift the mood in here, I saw a movie called 'Notebook' tonight, really good date movie, if you've got a girl, take her too it.

It came out a long time ago but Excelent movie, you heard it here first.

Yes, I agree, the girl in this movie was the head 'Mean' Girl, the one that got fat, but she looks different, I was drug to Mean Girls (but liked it, thought it was a good movie) and I didn't even realize it was the same girl.

[Nittany Tar Heel]

That girl was pretty good looking, too. I remember her.

I watched Mean Girls because of LL. But I actually thought it was relatively funny.

Didn't most guys? LOL.

Yeah, like I said, I didn't even realize it was the same girl until I got home, she has red hair in this movie and looks a lot older. I thought Mean Girls was funny too...

[thomeismyhomie]

One of the girls in Mean Girls, wasnt she the same one that was in The Hot Chick? That chick was fine as hell.

Anyway, your horn dogs veared off my point, the notebook, very good movie, go rent it when it comes out, or hell, just go buy it, trust me.

As assistant vocabularian (a damn good one at that), I feel I should correct you. Hell, I'd correct you anyway since it's you but you meant "you horn dogs" not "your horn dogs" :p

[thomeismyhomie]

Oh ok. So how was LL's tits looking? She looks like she got implants. Damn....she's hot. Oh, sorry :)

Anyone think the Braves could manage to sell out their stadium this evening?

[Nittany Tar Heel]

Not unless it's a "Free Tobacc-ee" night or there's a tractor pull after the game or something.

If there's one thing I LOATHE in professional sports, it's success for underserving fans. These people have no idea what we go through. A championship to them is like eating a really good meal to us. It's good, but you stop thinking about it in like two hours.

And yes, I'm looking at you Tampa Bay.

Uh, there sure are a lot of people who bought tickets who are there dressed as empty seats.

Any outfield shot I've seen shows the stands AT BEST 85% full.

It is a deciding game in a playoff series you know.

[PhilaVa]

Hey, 1/3 games ain't bad, still the Braves remain an embarrassment in the attendence department.
