Tinseltown Rebellion: NLCS Game Four, Phillies at Dodgers
Philadelphia Phillies @ Los Angeles Dodgers
Alright, let's try this again...
After a sound Game Three thrashing in a matchup that looked bad for the Phillies about a week ago, the Phillies will attempt to stop the bleeding tonight and keep the Dodgers from evening the series at two games apiece. They will do so behind the rather stout right shoulder of Joe Blanton, who pitched exceptionally in the Phillies Game 4 NLDS clincher against the Brewers. The Dodgers send NLCS Game 1 starter/loser Derek Lowe to the hill on three days rest, relying on the old baseball adage (not really backed up by any empirical evidence) that sinkerball pitchers do their best work on short rest.
Even if the Phillies lose tonight, remember that the Dodgers still have to win at least one game in Philadelphia to end the Phillies season.

I love the “Phillies are bullies” meme that’s developed in the broadcast booth.

It fits perfectly with the rooting interests of those two asshats in the booth. Naturally it makes sense to construct a narrative wherein the Phillies are bullies and, thus, deserve to lose.

Werth batting second tonight, Victorino sixth, and Dobbs is in for Feliz.

Yeah, I heard that. But, I don’t see the line between that and spit or a nailfile. Especially if each team can rub the ball to their liking, and not just some universal rubdown.

I think it’s funny that fox is interviewing Rich Dubbie instead of Charlie. Maybe its because you can’t understand a word he says. Still, these in between interviews are very bizarre

That inning kinda sucked. Even though we are winning, I am starting to feel really bad about our chances. You have to figure that Blanton will cough up at least a few more runs…especially when Charlie leaves him out there an inning too long.
