That was quite a pitching performance by Roy Halladay today. Anyone catch the game?

He's an amazingly complete pitcher.

Not a big deal, I've done the same thing multiple times on my WII.

A National League team is going to win the World Series.

So you think the Phillies will? Because they are the only NL team with a shot.

Naturally, I'm pulling for my Braves. Plus, it's Bobby Cox's last season, and all. That said, the Phillies are WAY too tough. There's no question in my mind that they'll be representing the NL in the Series.

As long as NY doesn't win, we all win.

saw the last 5 innings. Was intrigued by the announcers on TBS totally "jinxing" the game...usually it's not talked about until the 8th or 9th, but they were counting down from the 6th onward.

It was dominating. He was changing sides of the plate, changing speeds, getting to 0-2 or 1-2 and then just dropping that split to dirt-level. Flail away, little hitter...flail away.

NY will win.

It's what they do.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

I used to love the Yankees until they got steroid infested A-Rod.

ABM - great thread title! I get it.

There SHOULD be a question in your mind. Come on. It's Bobby's year! It all starts tonight.

Gotta go with that. It's just too bad that Chipper can't help win Bobby another WS this year.

As much as I want Atlanta to win, I doubt they can without him.

 

[MickZagger]

Chipper was having a good year, but the reason they barely squeaked into the playoffs had nothing to do with him and everything to do with their pitching staff.

 

[RR7]

Chipper had a good month, but a pretty poor year overall. Still, blown knee or not, put him on the WS roster WHEN then get there, and throw him up as a pinch hitter in a meaningless game. Might bring tears to my eyes. See him limp around the bases after a Kirk Gibson-esque home run?

 

[MickZagger]

Not trying to be the bearer of bad news, but I don't see any chance that the Braves make it to the WS.

 

[MickZagger]

I can't believe its been since Don Larsen that a pitcher has pitched a no-no in the playoffs.

 

[tlongII]

Larseny. Larsen. Don Larsen. Oh, I get it.

 

[ABM]

Larseny. Larsen. Don Larsen. Oh, I get it.

'bout time, you Nike-head!
