I agree about today’s game. I feel like Hamels will pitch well. Hopefully Cain doesn’t shut the Phillies down. Love to see the Phils take two of three in SF.

I think the Phils are in good shape for tomorrow. Even though the first game was a loss, they recovered well in the second. Roy #2 made up for Roy #1′s shortcomings. And let’s not go crazy worshiping Lincecum, he too gave up two homeruns…

I feel bad for Dobbs because of his past here, but this year has been a train wreck both for him and for his contribution to the Phillies. If you cannot hit 200, you have very little grounds for complaint when left off a post season roster. I read that he will be traveling with the team; I hope he enjoys the ride. Below the Mendoza Line one usually does not get a seat on the bus.

Glad to see it was Dobbs and not Brown who lost his spot on the roster for Kendrick. I’d be surprised if we see Kendrick pitch in the series unless someone gets injured. The Dobbs speech about I’ve-produced-every-time-I’ve-gotten-playing-time is a little much to take.

I think game one is big for both teams, maybe even a little bigger for the Phils given they have the better pitcher and the better offense and most people give them the edge. Also, Oswalt didn’t look real good the last time we saw him. I don’t think either team is done after tonight, no matter what happens.

Kendrick, Brown officially on the NLCS roster. Dobbs off.

I’d be ecstatic with that if either Polanco or Rollins were at 100%.

I don’t think the first game is AS important for the Phils.. Halladay losing to a guy who’s pitched a fancy-mathematically-better game than his no-hitter in the playoffs is hardly shameful, and I’m not concerned with Oswalt and Hamels (who could be #1′s on at least 27 other teams) vs Cain and Sanchez (who couldn’t). Those guys are still good though, so if I’m SF and I loses game one in a close, low-scoring match up, I still have faith.

Now if Lincecum’s line is 3.1 IP, 7 ER.. well… I think that would be pretty demoralizing and you can pencil in the sweep.

One thing more: it seems likely to me that whoever wins the first game will win the series. I wonder how either team recovers from their Big Dog losing.

Agreed. A very long time.

Agreed. This series is in the Phillies hands, literally, because it hangs on how they use their bats. It is all about their bats.

I agree it sure seems like a long time since the Phillies have played a baseball game. The thing about the Giants should just show up and the Phillies will tell them if they win or not was pretty funny.

Yes, fear the Posey. Glad to see that when Halladay got hit hard by the Giants earlier in the season it was guys like DeRosa, John Bowker and Eli Whiteside doing the damage.
