The Deviless Rays win game 2.

Series now tied 1 - 1

Next game is supposed to be in Philly on Saturday but apparently there's bad weather forecast

The Deviless Rays win game 2.

Charlie Manuel was outmanaged - he should've started Moyer and saved Myers for Game 3

By my calculations that would make Moyer the starter if it goes to Game 7. Is that correct? Is that wise?

They were always gonna lose last night - better to make it Moyer  (who is 0-2) than to ruin the high that Myers was riding -especially after that great at-bat vs that fat bloke on Milwaukee.

If it goes to Game 7 Hamels has to start that one - no matter how much he has pitched already. Another option would have been to start Happ last night to give him some experience.

I hope that Moyer proves me wrong though and has a return to his best stuff this weekend - but I ain't that confident.

Moyer's probably gonna attempt to bore the Rays batters out.

[Comrade Blitz]

Moyer is so old his first baseball card was printed on papyrus.  

there's a joke somewhere about him striking a guy out and the ball hit the catcher's mitt 142 seconds after he swings.....

Phils win game 3 - lead series 2 games to 1

Phils win game 3 - lead series 2 games to 1

And game 4

Its looking like the Phillies will gain only their second ever title in their 125+ year history

However, it looks like the Rays might have a secret weapon to begin their fight back

[Yeltzer]

come on the Phils - lets wrap it up tonight!

[Comrade Blitz]

woo hoo - everybody hits!!!

Go Phils

Well, beat the drum and hold the phone - the sun came out today!
We're born again, there's new grass on the field.
A-roundin' third, and headed for home, it's a brown-eyed handsome man;
Anyone can understand the way I feel.

Oh, put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today;
Put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today;
Look at me, I can be centerfield.
