Let's face it, a lot of guys have stepped up. Feliz couldn't hit all year (well, ok, stats are deceiving he did get some clutch hits), Ruiz was beyond worthless, anyone put in as a defensive replacement for Burrell couldn't do a damned thing. All of a sudden, they got hot, and it's made this series exciting as hell -- especially because the Rays in 6 were the popular pick.

You think So Taguchi comes in and hits a HR and fields a routine fly? Those would both be firsts for him this year.

OMG, Joe Buck needs to stop talking about David Price. You'd think Jesus was warming up in the pen.

"price is warming up." "price is sitting down with his jacket on." "price is giving a reach around to wheeler in the bullpen." seriously buck, hop off the dudes jock.

and mccarver aint no champ either. "tampa drew an unfair card, in that their pitcher spot is due up to bat 4th. if they were back in tampa bay, they'd have the dh.... which means the pitcher doesnt have to hit" well no shit you dumbfuck! you're in a national league park stupid ass. not to mention that the designated hitter rule didnt even exist until '73. and thanks for pointing out the obvious!

Fox is run by a bunch of puritans. Just saw the "Seth and Miri make a porno" commercial and they cut out the "make a porno" part.

Go Crawford!

That's not FOX. That's the MPAA making them remove "make a porno" from their title.

the title of the movie includes "make a porno." fox is self-censoring to avoid any outrage that this filth be promoted in front of dear, sweet, innocent children.

Aiiieeee, even Romero's 3-0 strike was borderline high.

I bought a Slingbox and put it at my dad's house in jersey so I could watch the games here where I live (in VA). I go to school at night but I think I saw at least parts of the majority of the regular season games.

At least, I think I saw every So Taguchi blunder. That has to count for something.

you'd think they could find someone better to call the game than buck and mccarver.

they are so far up TBs a55es that you would think they were their regular announcers.

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 :)
