EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2008 I actually think this series going forward is quite intriguing. The Phillies have shown a fair bit of ability despite their lack of clutch hitting. This should remain competitive throughout. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2008 The Phillies are miffed that not every player was announced before game one, only the starting lineup. Thank goodness we got Kevin Kennedy and the Chevy Pre-game show though! Seriously, game one of the World Series is special, every player deserves introduction. I think they get the game in tonight. It's rainy in Philly today but it's an all day rain, supposed to end sometime this evening. With the rain ending at some point, I imagine they will wait to start the game if need be. Jamie Moyer tonight, making his World Series debut in his 22nd year of professional baseball. Matt Garza had a great outing in game seven, but I wonder if the pitch count will have an effect on this outing. Garza is also a fastball/curveball righty, giving Ryan Howard perhaps his best chance to break his slump. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimmy no nose 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2008 When's the last time a World Series matchup seemed this close through 3 games? Even the recent ones that have gone 6 or 7 have featured blowouts in some of the early games. I think maybe Yankees-Mets in 2000, and that one only went 5 games.

milliondollarchamp 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2008 I am enjoying the slight media bias in our favor after constantly listening to Joe Buck and Crew talk about how great New York/Chicago/LA is. Being the 4th biggest media market finally pays off when the opponent is from one of the smallest in baseball. I still want to know why Tim McCarver is always looming over Joe Buck though. It's creepy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
geniusMoment 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2008 I just can't stand Fox's whole production, highlighted by nepotism Buck and Tim. I haven't really watched much of Fox's coverage this year because it's so bad I can't enjoy the games. Unless the Cubs or Reds make the World Series I doubt I'll watch with those 2 in the booth. When Buck said he doesn't even really like baseball on ESPN radio, saying he'd rather watch reality tv, that was probably the last straw for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2008 Given that this looked like the worst pitching matchup for the Phillies, this win is absolutely huge. Jamie Moyer put together a start to match the hype. What a great story. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
