Should be an entertaining series...we got some Manny, some closer-fail possibilities, some Pedro to the rescue or not, some Joe Torre post season managing, and Charlie Manuel post game news conferences, which are always a treat.

Game 1 - Hamels vs. Kershaw
Game 2 - Pedro the Great vs. Vincent the not-so-great
Game 3 - Kuroda vs. Lee
Game 4 - Wolf vs. ??? (Happ?? Blanton?? Hamels??)

Kershaw has a .200 OBP and the lowest ERA since June 1st in qualifying MLB starters. Or, so TBS pregamers just alerted me to. This will be an interesting matchup against a streaky Phillies team.

This is your second consecutive appearance in the NLCS and you're one of the most storied franchises in sports. Time to ditch the lame towel waving Dodgers fans. You too Phillie fans.

So Chip Caray, Buck Martinez, Ron Darling, and Craig Sager doing the NLCS, and to trump that Fox will roll out Buck and McFuckface.

What an absolute abortion with these piece of shit broadcasters calling these game. On par with the umpiring.

[Max Power]

I'd like to send Chip Caray into the Rape Tunnel.

I can only imagine TBS had this set up well before the division series started. Chip Caray was such an abomination in the Yankee/Twins series there is no way he could have gotten the gig based on that.

Hopefully this is the last season we are forced to listen to him. His combination of inaccurate reporting, inappropriate excitement (or at times lack thereof), and moronic general talking points is the worst I've ever heard.

[SemperFidelisSox]

Those highlights of Manny in the postseason hurt.

[Red Lunar Eclipse]

At least Caray isn't Buck "OR-tiz" Martinez.

[Red Lunar Eclipse]

Damn Kershaw looks sharp.

[SemperFidelisSox]

Phillies fans wait for for '08 Hammels to come back the way we spent two years waiting for '07 Beckett.

[luckysox]

Eeek, Hamels getting hammered so far.

Just got in. I have to root for the Dodgers. My restaurant was deserted tonight and I got sent home ealry, making virtually no money. Everyone is watching the freakin' Phils.

Wouldn't you want to root for LA so you can get back to work?

Yeah, typo.

[TheYellowDart5]

Does Manny know that the playoffs have started?

[senzadubbio]

At least Caray isn't Buck "OR-tiz" Martinez.

He says ROO-eez too. He's still about a million times less obnoxious than Caray.

[TheYellowDart5]

I don't know what's worse, the nonstop ads for Blackberry with that awful Beatles cover or the nonstop ads for George Lopez.

[Dionysus]

No, He thinks its Game 116 of the regular season.

When TBS does baseball they lock in only like 3 sponsors so you see the same ads over and over and over. Super annoying.

Well, no one else wants their product associated with TBS' shitty broadcasts.

[Red Lunar Eclipse]

Still, always looking on the brightside, I say TBS is about 2 million times better than FOX Sports.

Fox always cuts off a pitch or two to let their commercials run their course..

As long as Chip Caray is employed by them, they are worse. He's worse than McFuckface (as someone else called him - love it!) if you ask me.


Hamels has settled down and looks good. Philly needs some RH bats to do some damge vs. young Mr. Kershaw here.

More offense please; I'm a little bored.
Edit: cool, good start mr. ee-ban-yez

Yeah, CS pitchers' duels suck.

I'd just love to see Manny drop a ball out there.

[Dionysus]

Kershaw in big trouble now.

[Red Lunar Eclipse]

WOW.

[Dionysus]

Fuck you, Clayton

[RIrooter09]

3 run shot Ruiz!

[Max Power]

ROO-eez!

[Dionysus]

Holy shit, Kershaw is a mess now. Is anyone warming?

[Red Lunar Eclipse]

Yeah, you pick up that phone.

It's Scott Elbert.

Edited by Red Lunar Eclipse, 15 October 2009 - 08:35 PM.

[Red Lunar Eclipse]

Rollins or Utley comes through here with an RBI.

[Dionysus]

Is just warming NOW? Dodgers'll be down 5-1 by the time they are ready.

[ifmanis5]

Damn Kershaw looks sharp.

Eeek, Hamels getting hammered so far.

Funny how things can change.

[Red Lunar Eclipse]

Man he's behind EVERYONE in the count. This is bad. Utley gets the RBI if Rollins takes the BB.

EDIT: Lucky out right there. BABIP gods beginning to like Kershaw again.

Edited by Red Lunar Eclipse, 15 October 2009 - 08:37 PM.

[Dionysus]

An out!

[Dionysus]

So, one more baserunner and he's done, right?

[Red Lunar Eclipse]

Meaningless wild pitch, really. Rollins scores on any hit anyway.

Unless Werth has anything to say about it...

Edited by Red Lunar Eclipse, 15 October 2009 - 08:41 PM.

[Dionysus]

What did we get in that Tek to LA trade?

[Dionysus]

Torre with a VERY slow hook here.

[Red Lunar Eclipse]

Ramon Troncoso RHP, Scott Elbert LHP. This should be his last inning for sure.

[Ed Hillel]

Clayton...Ankiel?

[Red Lunar Eclipse]

First and third. Pitch to Howard with Kershaw's lack of control? Better Howard than Werth, I suppose.

Or not.

Edited by Red Lunar Eclipse, 15 October 2009 - 08:45 PM.

[Dionysus]

You are letting him face Howard?

Idiot.

[youkwalks]

Lefty on Lefty and all that, but Kershaw vs. Howard here is asking for trouble....



just as i was looking up Howards splits...

[Dionysus]

Torre, you are a fucking idiot

[RIrooter09]

Torre really fucked that up.

[SemperFidelisSox]

Chip thought Utley walked after the 2-1 pitch. And then the TBS scoreboard operator had a runner on 1st for the rest of the at-bat.

[Red Lunar Eclipse]

Yeah, that'll be it for Kershaw. Torre was banking on Howard's SO and swinging at pitches out of the zone. Just so happens he missed out of the zone EXACTLY where you CAN'T with Howard--low and inside.
