Happy Hangover Ha-Ha Thread: NLCS Game Two, Dodgers at Phillies

Los Angeles Dodgers at Philadelphia Phillies, Oct 10, 2008 4:35 PM EDT
Hot on the heels of last night's thrilling come-from-behind victory over Derek Lowe and the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Phillies attempt to go ahead 2-0 in the series before the ink has even dried on the stories of Pat Burrell and Chase Utley's 6th inning heroics late last night.
Last night the Phillies defeated a grizzled playoff veteran. Today, they take on talented youth in the form of Chad Billingsley. The Phillies counter with Brett Myers, whose Game Two NLDS performance did a good deal to calm the nerves of fans throughout the Delaware Valley, although we'd all be lying if we said we were COMPLETELY confident in Brett's ability to stave off a meltdown...
Hopefully Ryan Howard can get it going today. All of the top six hitters in the Phillies lineup have at least one home run this postseason, save for Howard (Rollins, Victorino, Utley, Burrell, Werth).

Cholly’s mother died this morning according to the AP. This is pretty sad, and comes at a really bad time for him, obviously. He has made the decision to coach today’s game though.
Hopefully the players can win one for the old man.

I saw the news about Manuel’s mother just now, indeed very sad…seems like they were very close and it is hard to lose a parent at any age. I am glad he has decided to coach today, we will be proud to have to have him out there and hopefully it will help him to be around all the guys. FuquaManuel is right, let’s win it for Cholly!

Hey guys
I’m from South Africa, and I’m a huge Eagles fan. I’ve always found baseball to be boring, but I don’t know everything about the game either. However, I have started to take a lot of notice of late, and I would love it if the Phils could bring that WS Championship to Philly! Anyways, you’ve got my full support! Go Phils!

Bit surprised Coste isn’t playing today—day game after a night game, and he’s caught Myers a lot this year. I guess he really is in the doghouse, and/or they’re really down on his defense.
Ruiz called a good game for Brett in the Milwaukee series—let’s hope for more of same!

they’re note even using Coste as a pinch hitter so it can’t just be his defense, right? has anyone heard anything about why cc is in the dog house?

different outcome
First of all I would like to pass along my sympathies to Charlie Manual and his Family…
Now on to Baseball…
This could either fire up your team or make them depressed…I was expecting a split in Philly and this could ruin my plans
Good game last night…Game could have gone either way…looking for a different outcome tonight…Go Dodgers

Monday, August 25
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Brett Myers was heading to the dugout after retiring Manny Ramirez in a crucial spot when the slugger turned and said something to the pitcher.
Was Manny stirring things up again? No, just offering praise.
“He’s one of the best pitchers in the league,” Ramirez said. “That guy is nasty.”

This was a weird call—it was from a charity, and I kept saying I’d donate online, but the guy really wanted to do it over the phone, with a credit or debit card number. Eventually I hung up on him.
Can’t tell if they’re pitching around Utley or he’s just being as selective as Howard isn’t.
