The fact that this could happen is what makes baseball great. The fact that it happened to the Dodgers? just that much sweeter

I've always liked Rollins and never understood why some Phillies fans get on him so hard. He plays tough every single day.

Unfortunately they were behind the AL NYY, and LAA

Yeah, but they lead the MAJOR league, i.e., the Senior Circuit! :laugh:

Starter Randy Wolf pitched 5 1/3 effective innings against his former team while his "Wolf Pack" fan club sat in seats he left for them -- and rooted against him.

Lol, and . . . for a guy who relentlessly murders the King's English, I LOVE and, most important, RESPECT Charlie Manuel. :thumbsup:

What a game. I said going into the 9th that the Phils were due to blow up Broxton again in the postseason. I was being a homer, but it worked out.

I credit Ruiz with not exactly moving off the plate and eating that pitch.

Lol, e-mailers to the CSN boyz are now calling Chooch "Clooch" -- for Chooch and clutch! :laugh:

Finally, digest THIS: The Phillies had but 5 hits ALL night.

However, those five hits included two doubles, a triple, and a home run -- good for FIVE runs and the WIN, baby, the WIN!

Yep. It snowed here in NH on Sunday. Yep, it's really hard for him.

BTW, from ESPN:

There have been 1,251 postseason games in baseball history. Only two others -- two -- ever ended this way, with a walk-off extra-base hit by a team that was one out away from losing. One was The Kirk Gibson Game -- Game 1 of the 1988 World Series, Gibson homering off Dennis Eckersley, Jack Buck warbling: "I don't believe what I just saw." The other was The Bill Bevens Game -- Game 4 of the 1947 World Series, when Yankees pitcher Bill Bevens got within one out of the first no-hitter in World Series history, and then lost it all. Lost his win. Lost his place in immortality. Lost it on a two-run double by Cookie Lavagetto with two outs in the ninth. And now here we are, still talking about it today, more than six decades later. Why? Because the October dots connect it with this game. OK, now get the picture? This wasn't just another walk-off win that unfolded in South Philadelphia on Monday. This was history.

Oh, YEAH, so, so much historically choice Phillies news to chose from today. :brokenheart:

I feel like a hungry, hungry fat man bellying up to an all-you-can-eat gourmet buffet. :laugh:

giradi is a fucking moron. that is all.
i hope the yanks lose this series because of stupid over managing by him.

So will the real Manny Ramirez stand up in Game 5, or has age, lack of steroids or something else finally caught up with him?

I continue to be befuddled by the fact that the Dodgers didn't make a move for a real ace. It seems to me that their postseason defeat last year was simply due to the lack of quality starting pitching in the postseason. As well as Padilla pitched, he isn't the ace I'm talking about. They were close to acquiring Lee and had put feelers out about Halladay. While I understand the need to balance the future with the present, I sometimes question if teams are too conservative and don't go all-in often enough.
