i can never
get myself up to rooting for the evil empire and living in NJ surrounded by Yankee fans and knowing a lot of stupid fans i still can’t but i am rooting for the Phillies to lose
we seem to have gotten over that HURDLE
thanks for a great season Rockies!
LETS GO WINGS!
I have faith
that Jayson Werth, Ryan Howard, Cliff Lee, Chase Utley, and Joe Girardi can deliver another championship for the Phils. It was 28 years since they won until they won last year, so they can have one more.
Plus, they’re playing the Yankees.
I love Greg Reynolds. Deal with it, suckers.
Remember hate=love.
So if we’re having a hatefest in here tonight, we’re really having a lovefest.

I’m on board with you, Russ. I just don’t want the Phillies to win. Plus, I think that baseball is more interesting when the Yankees are good.

Not really
I thoroughly enjoyed their disaster last year.
But from an MLB standpoint you are right, it will do better when the Yankees are good.

I don't know how
Maybe it’s the fact the Phils bounced the Rox, or that they won it all last year, or that JRoll and Howard are way overrated, but I find myself, involuntarily, wanting to see the Yankees win. I feel dirty.
Winners never quit, and quitters never win. But if you never quit *and* never win, you are an idiot

actually, what I really want to see is a bunch of 12 to 11 slugfests. Good pitching is boring, unless it is Rox good pitching
Winners never quit, and quitters never win. But if you never quit *and* never win, you are an idiot
That would be fun

During lineups
Did anyone notice that while the Yankees were being announced they played the theme from Star Wars? Why wouldn’t they play the Imperial Dirge? Come on, embrace being the Empire. Also, it’s a way better piece of music.

Pedro threw it with Boston, if not now. My high school essentially taught that pitch. Its not THAT uncommon

spike curve. I might have to try that sometime
Winners never quit, and quitters never win. But if you never quit *and* never win, you are an idiot
the resultant top spin provides really quick downward movement
The downside is that it is a bit harder to control and throw with velocity (more moving parts coming out of the hand) and a trained hitter can pick up the spin pretty well. Of course, if you throw it as well as lee, it doesn’t matter

But then we would still have had to face the Dodgers in the NLCS
based on previous history, that may not have gone too well, and then we WOULD have a Dodgers/Yankees World Series.

We would have had JDLR back and our pitching held the Phillies in check pretty well. We could have done it

okay,if you say so...
I actually don’t know. I could kind of tell from the Notre Dame game that USC’s football team is sort of vulnerable this year with all the freshmen/sophomores starting.
our starting QB's besides Carson Palmer never seem to translate to the pros very well.
Our backups seem to do okay.
Tell that to Matt Cassel right now.

Oh,

They grew on me in college (went to college in upstate NY, and my husband grew up a Mets fan). Before I came to CO, my 3 favorite teams were the Reds, the Mets, and anyone playing the Braves…

Since we are talking about history I have noticed a disturbing trend about the Yankees and political parties
If the Yankees win the World series this year check out what happens when Democrats are in office
Yankee World Series under Democrats
Obama = 1 (Hope this stays at zero)
Clinton = 4
Carter = 2
LBJ =0
JFK = 2
Yankee World Series under Republicans
George W.Bush =0
George Bush = 0
Ragan =0
Ford =0
Nixon = 0
It does not work as well before 1960 but that’s a 50 year trend.

My wife says I'm not allowed a girlfriend
So neither do I.
Ignorance of the American League is a sign of good moral character.
Look out Dodgers...Purple objects in mirror are closer than they appear.
I'll be the guy in a orange shirt EVERY Monday...Broncos are my team win or lose.

I love Greg Reynolds. Deal with it, suckers.
left me at the beginning of summer
still not sure why
was doing great, moving on, and then she wanted to drop some of my stuff off
we chatted, I made the mistake of asking if she still thinks about us, she said yes, cried, stuff like that, heartstrings were pulled
wanted to watch this game together, she stood me up

Yeah
but considering they’re not the Dodgers, I am managing to be okay with it.
I love Greg Reynolds. Deal with it, suckers.
Based on your comments about the Dodgers
I’m thinking you have an understanding of how I feel about the Phillies. :-D

I am exceedingly okay with it.

Here's a stat for you:
Everytime someone surnamed Lee pitches a post season complete game, they win the series.
Really?

No it's OK
I don’t know what we would discuss besides Lee’s dominance. (Not much else to tonught’s game)
