Ruh roh is right! Tying run is at the plate and nobody seems like they can throw strikes anymore. God, do you bring in Lidge for the 4 out save if Madson gets the 2nd out?

Edit: looks like it.

That would be SO sweet. He's talented, but a meathead, and a Looooooong Time Phillie btw, came to us in a big basket of shite when we were forced to trade Curt Schilling.

The Phillies let Padilla go for a fungo bat and a bag of balls despite his decent record with them.

There was a reason for that.

yep interesting to see which padilla shows up tomorrow. the mid-upper 90's early phillies pitcher... or the crazy lack of control freak who'll throw at your head if you hit a home run off him. after seeing that game where he tried to plunk the entire angels line-up, think im going to guess the latter will show up.

Like I said, he's facing a lefty dominant lineup and his numbers against lefties are awwwwful.

2 Run game now with the heart of the Dodgers lineup coming to the dish.

Man, Phillies pitching has struggled to get that first pitch strike tonight.

 

[BeauJangles]

Here comes Lidge... right? Madsen can't get an out, there's no way they let him face Man-Ram.

Edit: IMO, this is a mistake. Madsen can't find the strike zone, so why are you letting him throw to Manny F-ing Ramirez?

[Perknose]

PHILLIES! :thumbsup:

 

[BeauJangles]

Lidge didn't suck!

Damn. Dodgers fans better hope their bats are thundering tomorrow, because Padilla is going to get smoked.

 

[PClark99]

1 down 3 to go.

 

[sjwaste]

Good win. The Phils offense was definitely opportunistic. Didn't get a lot of chances, but brought the runners in almost every time.

The pen made it interesting, but got the last out when necessary. Can't wait for tomorrow.

 

[Perknose]

Torre called it a prize fight. Sounds about right. :thumbsup:

 

[anxi80]

game 2 lets go!


also can we get a sticky for the thread?

 

[jalaram]

Perknose is a mod. How about it?

 

[BeauJangles]

I'm surprised Padilla has had so much success thus far.

 

[anxi80]

same. perhaps he prayed to the baseball gods and asked for talent in exchange that he'll no longer be a dirty pitcher. of course if his first pitch to howard in his next at-bat is at his head or hits him, then i retract my theory.
