The Phillies will try to wrap up their 2nd consecutive NL Pennant tonight at home by defeating the Dodgers (again). Cole Hamels will be making his third start of the postseason, and the first two weren't much to write home about. In game 2 of the NLDS, Hamels allowed 4 runs in 5 innings. In his first game of the NLCS he also allowed 4 runs, only in 5.1 innings.

The Dodgers counter with Vincente Padilla, who is also making his third start of the postseason. Going in, if you'd been asked who would perform better in the playoffs, Padilla or Hamels, who would have picked? Would anyone have gone with Padilla? Probably not, but he's outpitched Hamels significantly. Between his two starts he has gone 14.1 innings, allowing 1 run on 8 hits with 10 Ks and 2 walks. A game in line with his last two would give the Dodgers a good chance to get back to Los Angeles to continue the series.

The Dodgers lineup, which was one of the better ones in the National League during the regular season, has completely tanked this series. Raphael Furcal has been totally useless, Manny Ramirez doesn't look like himself, neither does Matt Kemp. The Phillies have looked much better, especially Ryan Howard, Carlos Ruiz, and Shane Victorino.

I predict the Phillies take the series tonight despite Hamels' troubles so far.

Cute.

The Phillies spotted the Dodgers a run so they’d feel like they put up a good fight.

Apparently Joe Torre has never seen George Sherrill pitch. Bringing him in with the bases loaded. Predictably, George gets the count 3-0, gets two strikes, and then hits the batter.

I wonder if I can bill Jeff Lurie and Peter Angelos for the years of therapy their teams are going to put me through.

Yeah, really not the best spot, especially since it meant he’d be facing a guy batting righty.

Flat Breezy

That call he didn’t get on the outside corner against Victorino probably didn’t help matters. But I guess I won’t complain, since I’m rooting for the Phillies. I was really hoping Sherrill wouldn’t struggle so much, though…

Pedro Feliz has been swinging at everything all postseason.

I don’t know how you swing at the first pitch every time you get up to bat during the playoffs. Feliz got a couple of big hits in the World Series last year, but with the way he’s just swinging away, I’m worried he’s going to kill some rallies.

by Vuff on Oct 21, 2009 10:26 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Yeah,

and I’m glad it worked for him this time, but it’s only his second hit in sixteen at-bats in the series. I’ve been watching the Phillies all postseason, and he’s done the same thing throughout, and it’s getting annoying (since some of his swings have been at awful, awful pitches).

I think it annoys me so much because I love the guy’s glove, and he seemed to have gotten a lot more disciplined earlier this season, but now he looks sillier than Adam Jones’s worst at-bats almost every time he’s up there.

You're right; he always has been.

I was just hoping he had actually improved in that regard earlier this year. Apparently, I was being way too optimistic.

when there’s a home run or when they win the game, it is SO happy. I love it.

They’re probably from Central PA, land of bandwagon idiots.

Everyone is a Steelers fan and a Phillies fan here.

As an Orioles and Eagles fan, it is sports hell for me. (I make no apologies for loving the Eagles, but I probably would have gone Colts had they stayed in Baltimore).

I don’t dislike Philadelphia fans or Phillies fans in general (like I’ve said many times, HUGE Eagles fan and I like the city very much)…I’m just really tired of the complete sucking off of Phillies fans (I feel the exact same way about the Steelers).

It’s real easy to be great fans when your team is awesome. Everyone is vying for the title of “World’s Biggest Phillies Fan” now…but there were a lot of empty seats when the team didn’t make the playoffs.

That said, I’m completely jealous of the team they’ve got, and Camden Yards will be a lot more fun if it’s every filled with bandwagon Orioles douchebags cheering on a great Orioles team. Of course, I’ll probably die of old age by the time that happens.
