Rollins Thunder: Phillies 5, Dodgers 4

Yeah, I’ve gots ta hear that. I have been hearing all about it.

so was it better than seeing an 11-0 game?

No lawyer talk, I would hope!

but soooooo worth it

We know how it feels to be on the other side of that stuff and it’s not fun.

Well said. I would hope it’s none of the regular posters on here.

I never really understood trolling after big wins like this. I get much more enjoyment out of chatting it up with my fellow fans. Actually, that goes for losses too. I’d much rather commiserate with my comrades than argue with my enemies after a painful loss.

Don’t be mean, and karma’s a bitch.

Thanks J-Roll for making one you won’t forget.

Not cool, MLB, not cool. 27 outs, people.

That is an amazing page.

neither me! Must head to bed though. I’m thrilled this happened. It just didn’t seem right that this series was about to go 2-2. I would have understood, would have been very queasy about it, but now. Now.

hang around, hang around and then wham big hit from someone in the 7th, 8th or 9th

1) strike zone was bad and inconsistent (and pretty tiny most of the night). It didn’t favor one team or the other. The Phillies might’ve reaped more rewards from it, but it didn’t seem as though they got a better or different strike zone.

2)If ruiz got an XBH they’d have pulled him.
4)Feliz’s VORP this post season has to be about what we’d have expected from David Bell. Suspect fielding, a couple GIDPs. His one hit was an RBI double late in a game that was already decided.
5)Lidge probably doesn’t deal well with being removed mid-inning.
6) Werth just looks bad against RHP when he whiffs. He goes Bugs Bunny at the plate.

Here’s a thought: Who gives a s***?

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah, my wife was half-asleep and said she figured the Phils had lost because she didn’t hear any loud gutteral sounds from the living room. (Instead, she heard them from Phillies fans outside, which woke her up, but she didn’t realize what they were bellowing about until I explained.)

As mentioned above, I got home extremely late. I inadvertently awoke my wife, who had fallen asleep around the 7th or 8th inning. She said something like “I’m sorry they lost!” and then I went into my “OMG IT WAS THE MOST AWESOMEST THING EVARRR!!!!” spiel.

and whilst I don’t want to throw the wet blanket or be debbie downer, sometimes opening up feels good…

Father-in-law has been going battling bladder cancer for the past 9 months or so and just completed his second round of treatment. It’s not supposed to be a bad cancer per se, so not too much of an issue after the initial shock. At about the 7th inning last night, my wife got the phone call that they found it had moved to his lungs, which makes things a lot uglier.

So I laid in bed for awhile with the mixed positive energy over the Phils exciting playoff win, coupled with the dread of what lies ahead in the next few months for my wife and in-laws. Was looking info up on line, and it doesn’t look promising. She took the news well, a little too well, and that’s what scares me, because I fear when she loses it, it’s going to be ugly.

Ok – done sharing now. Back to baseball.

My cat is still afraid of me today.

just takes him 4 at bats to get his head in the game. That’s all.

Stark’s column on espn.com noted that he’s 4 for 6 in the 9th inning this postseason, and I think 2 for all other ABs.
