Phillie phans, here's the call from last night:

"AND THEY HAVE DONE IT TO BROXTON - AGAIN! ... WOW WHAT A FINISH!!"

:thumbsup::beer: all around! LA's goose is cooked! No way they can come back from a loss like that. Game 5 will just be a formality!

 

[Inspector Jihad]

we need to wrap it up tomorrow and then relax for a few days and watch the angels beat the yankees :thumbsup:

mccarver: "and you need a strong arm to get jeter"

this was said in reference to morales throwing to kendrick covering 2nd when kazmir picked off jeter. no wonder mccarver is such a terrible fucking announcer; just being in the vicinity of jeter gives him a hard-on and all the blood rushes down there and leaves nothing flowing to his brain.

 

[jalaram]

Oh cool. The ex-Ray Kazmir is pitching.

 

[darkxshade]

ffs yanks keep leaving RISP.

 

[SilentZero]

GO YANKEES!

 

[darkxshade]

RISP blown again. Teixeira isn't hitting shit this playoff. sigh...

 

[dbk]

wow kendrick

 

[anxi80]

so they did get that pick-off call right after all.

 

[darkxshade]

lol @ Swisher...

I think the bad call on 3rd was to even out the missed call @ 2nd

 

[raystorm]

Can't believe I'm going to see a Yankees vs Phillies world series. <sigh>


edit: wow..the milliionth bad umpire call. The umpiring this season has been atrocious and MLB better do something about it during the offseason.

 

[Xed]

They seriously need instant replay, they average ..5 blown calls per game in the playoffs?

 

[sash1]

that was a pretty obvious call there. clearly a DP, bad base running by posada, should've just taken the out and let Cano take 3rd

The ump wasn't even watching him when he left the bag. I doubt it could be that.

Speaking of watching though, those umps are just not paying attention - Swisher tagging up, Swisher getting picked off at 2nd, the Cano/Posada out at 3rd...

Whatever though, yankees are up 5-0

 

[darkxshade]

yea, wtf is with the officiating... As a Yankees fan, I didn't even want them to score on that last out just to preserve the legitimacy of their win. That was ridiculously easy to call.


Oh and wtf Posada, didn't run when you should, ran when you shouldn't...

Im with ya. Im also a Met fan and I havent watched baseball in a long time. These games are too long, im going to bed....

Whoops...HR by Angels. Still not looking good though.

Wow. Just as A-Rod came up in the 5th innining I could see he had a look of determination. I turned to my friend and said A-Rod has the eye of the tiger.
Then Joe Buck said A-Rods body language showed supreme confidence (or something like that). And A Rod homers on the first pitch.

For 32 million just in 09' with a 30 million dollar incentive to pass Barry Bonds career HR record he better show some damn confidence.

Nah, I want the Phils to meet the Yankees. They had the best reg season record. I want this WS to have the best 2 teams. Plus, something nice about Phils repeating by beating the last team to do it.

Is Swisher the guy who swong into a double play? What a jerk.

 

[techs]

Thanks, Bud Selig, for the great umpiring.
You broke the union so you could exercise personal control over the umps.
And now your favorites get to umpire the playoffs.
