NLCS Game Two Discussion Thread: Phillies at Dodgers, October 16, 2009

Philadelphia Phillies at Los Angeles Dodgers, Oct 16, 2009 4:07 PM EDT


Oh, intrigue!

The Dodgers look to avoid falling into an 0-2 hole at home, and the Phillies look to take a commanding 2-0 lead back to brutal South Philadelphia.  Stakes is high.

Pedro Martinez makes his first postseason appearance for the Phillies against former Phil and alleged sociopath and Gene Simmons lookalike Vicente Padilla.  I'll take my chances.

Discuss the game below.  "Fisting" optional.

Is it wrong that I wish walter bishop was my father?

Interesting revelation (possibly) about peter bishop – and nice to see bug from crossing jordan get some work…very cool episode I thought….though curios as to why kirk acevedo is still on the opening credits what with him being dead (twice now)

Lends credence to his facebook (myspace) rant in the off season?

yeah that’s what i’m thinking (regarding acevedo)… I would say that Walter would be an interesting father, to say the least. Well we’ve all kind of known Peter was from somewhere else, but now we got a revelation as to how and when he was taken.

You watching flash forward as well?

Part of the coolness of V was the ‘surprise’ – but now everyone knows the twist about the visitors – and it was cheesy which was kind of cool but now it’ll be all flashy

plus bailey? REALLY….budget couldn’t get anybody better than Bailey.

Presumably, pitching is better in the playoffs

by virtue of the fact that teams that made the playoffs probably have good starting pitching and have finagled it so that their best pitchers start.

Only fly in the ointment is that the complete blue sky scenario didn’t figure on BOTH starters being awesome today.
