Well, ethis is beyond fitting. The Big Piece, without a single RBI, with the game, the series, and the season on the line.

Let's Go Phillies!
 
The Rangers advance by striking out ARod, the Giants advance by striking out Ryan Howard. Both struck out looking. Interesting.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the teams with 3 best regular season records all failed in the playoffs.

I was hoping for Rays vs Phils, but this will be a nice change.

Yes, Madson and Lidge are on fire. And like I posted yesterday, Oswalt and Hamels have a 10 point better WHIP at home which equates 8 to 9% better which is no joke. The Giants have to be worried because Cain is significantly worse on the road in 2010: ERA goes up 2.93-->3.35 (14% jump!) and WHIP 1.01-->1.15 (14% jump!). Lifetime, his ERA goes up even higher (18%~) although WHIP drops to 7%. It would also be amazing if he also got the 4 inch outside gifts off the plate from the ump like he did in Game 3.

The strange thing about Sanchez: he has a much better ERA on the road in 2010: 2.86 vs 3.26 (14% better) but his control (WHIP) is around 4% worse. That tells me he does allow slightly more walks/hits but employs a bend but don't break mentality on the road. Lifetime, he's worse in ERA and WHIP. The Phils already beat him in Game 2 so he will need to be even better than his 5 hits/2 ER to win.

The Giants best chance to win is tomorrow. They cannot let Philly force a game 7 with Hamels pitching at home and Cain's subpar track record on the road. Philly is already a very tough place to play and a Game 7 there would be absolute pandemonium.

Yes, the Phils need to resign Werth! They may have to up their ceiling but it'd be werth it in the long run. Guy can hit, play d (gunning out Ross last night was money), steal bases; his only flaw is sometimes zoning out on the basepaths but it's a rare occurrence. He is a perfect fit for either Philly or NY with the short porches and I hope he will give Philly a "hometown discount" but hiring Boras indicates otherwise.

lol stats fail

Statistics that matter:
2010 NLCS games won by the Giants: 4
2010 NLCS games won by the Phillies: 2
 
Have to hand it to the Giants. They won this series without a doubt. :thumbsup:

Sometimes you eat the Giant. Sometimes, the Giants eat you. 🙁
 
Well I was really looking forward to Lee vs. the Roys, but the SF crew vs. the Rangers should be a great series.

Condolenses to the Phillies fans, and grats to the Giants fans. This was a hard fought series from beginning to end

Please. People use any excuse in the world to take shots at the yankees. Fuck em. I dont care. Its not my fault that I grew up in NY as a Yankee fan.

NY would have been fine if Cashman was smart enough to realize that good pitching always beats good hitting. Relying on CC and old-man-Pettitte was not a smart idea this year. At least he can buy Greinke, Bonderman, Lilly, or Westbrook to try and strengthen beyond CC. Pettitte, who knows if he can stay healthy since he missed half of this year.

Hardly. We got outpitched and outhit, and outplayed down to a man. I'm just stating tue reality of the situation.

Sorry to bust up you fantasy, but there are alot of people that don't live on the east coast. We have 20mil in Texas that will be glued to the tube and I would imagine quite a few from California (you know, the most populated state) will be watching and rooting for the Giants.

Maybe you butt aching New Yorkers can watch Dancing with the Stars or something while the Series is playing. But don't watch Series and drive those numbers up.
