meh who cares? it's just because the "big market" teams aren't in it, the baseball being played is pretty damn good though, even though the umpires are spotty at best

philadelphia isn't a big market team???

4th largest tv market...

The fact that Philly is 3 outs away from a WS championship tells me there's no God.

Joe Buck has an anti-Philly bias, it clearly shows whenever he calls an Eagles game too. Hell, Aikman is the balanced one on that team, go figure.

Of course, with Philly, angry fans = ratings. And Buck makes us angry

we here think he, and fox, have a definite anti-boston bias. coincidence?

 

[AmpedSilence]

ha! they are bringing out the curse of Billy Penn.

Good lord. I love the Rays and the Phillies. While I'll agree that they're idiots, I think they've been even with the compliments.

yeah i know i was just going to mention that... hopefully the mini-billy on the comcast building is enough please the gods.

mccarver and buck are probably going to have a circle jerk session in the broadcasting booth if price has a 1-2-3 inning.

I guess Joe Buck's just an asshole, huh?

 

[Perknose]

Chase was WAY behind that second strike.

WALK!

 

[chuckywang]

C'mon Price, it's freaking Ryan Howard.

 

[chuckywang]

WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU WALK HOWARD WHEN HE'S FACING A LEFTY MCCARVER???

Yeah, they are, 4th largest or so I think.


CHASE! Not a big base stealer but one of the best base runners in baseball. :thumbsup:

Edit: But no one outside of the scattered Philly area disaspora gives a tinker's damn about them.

No Boston or New York or LA or even Atlanta sex appeal for the casual idiot "fan."

 

[jalaram]

There! They just said that Phillies have made the big hits. And that the on deck hitter has hit a HR on Price.

 

[AmpedSilence]

alright, one more inning

lol yes

3 outs from ending a drought since 83 for Philly and 80 for the Phils. Let's see if Evan, Rocco and Dioner can keep us alive.

 

[Inspector Jihad]

lets do this!

 

[akshatp]

This would be a good time for Lidge to blow his first save of 2008

 

[AmpedSilence]

is anyone else's heart beating faster?

 

[Baked]

Great run Rays, but better luck next time. Feliz, you bastard, ditched Gmen and wins a ring.

I wonder if they'll have a massive idiot riot in Philly tonight.

I thought that was a fore gone conclusion that it was going to happen.

 

[jalaram]

Yes!! Come on Rocco. You can do it.

Okay. Zobrist will do.

 

[sjwaste]

Lidge never makes it easy, but he finds a way. Hoping for 2 more outs here.

Lol, even with the tying run on first and only one out, I 'm going to go with "not 'gonna happen."
