PrintSt. Louis Cardinals at Philadelphia Phillies, Oct 7, 2011 8:37 PM EDT
So it comes to this, the end of the road for the 2011 Phillies or another hurdle on their way to another National League Championship Series? Choose or perish.
Roy Halladay versus Chris Carpenter. I'm so nervous. Hold me.

I don't see why Doc couldn't go 120+
So even though his pitch count is high I could see him pitching at least 7 innings as long as he settles in and gets into a groove.

One thing I’ve noticed, the Phillies are great at doing nothing after big innings for the other team
What big inning did the Cardinals have? They had a lot of stuff end ended up with just one run. With Halladay, they are not likely to get many chances like that.

ROY
Hunter Pence will not guarantee a WS, but, then, neither does Carlos Beltran.
Part of me
Thinks it’s really scary that the Cards are doing this without Wainwright. But they’re just on an unbelievable run right now. Which will end…tonight.
At this point, if he pitches like the last 4 innings, he’ll get through 9. (123 pitches).
Hunter Pence will not guarantee a WS, but, then, neither does Carlos Beltran.
wow…..but with Cliff Lee in the hole he might get pulled if he sees trouble in the later innings.

So Roy came to play. Anyone else feel like joining in?
Ed Snider is a crotchety old fuck.

Could you imagine? He’d be the next local hero.

And apparently he likes to pick fights with guys that could end him in 5 seconds.
All said though, that was pretty awesome of him.

Heart of the line up coming to bat here, 2nd time around…Big Inning, get some runs on the board for the love of God.
Definitely in favor of this. Make it happen, please.

So could I be right by saying Doc pitches 120-130 pitches tonight if still effective and no more runs?
I wasn't even a year old but I stayed up to be outside the Vet with my Dad and Mom when the Phillies won the World Series 1980.
As long as Lee starts the next series if we win, yes.

why are the rally towels only an issue with the Phillies fans at CBP?

but the Reds were whining about it last year, I mean nearly every team in the playoffs does that or something similar.

I don’t think that’s right, but nothing I can do… I think that each series should have their own announcers.

Welp
When the heart of your order includes Raul Ibanez and Ryan Howard, maybe you don’t deserve to advance to the NLDS.
Of course, maybe the umps want you to anyway. I don’t know.
