Game 1...Wednesday @ 2pm CT on TBS

Gallardo vs. Hamels

You know, when it's the NL, they call it the NLDS.

Weird, I know.

I know, I had ALDS on my mind. Mods, please switch.

I can't fault you for that.

Hamels is dealing.

Already hate Frank TV. Will not watch out of spite. Doing the same impersonations only get you so far.

No kidding.

Just about every commercial break features Frank Caliendo in it.

Personally, I won't watch FrankTV because it's f***ing garbage but that's just me.

I dont know who I am rooting for here. I want Milwaukee to win, but I think Philly would be tougher on the Cubs. Tough choice

It won't matter when Manny dominates.

not sure who does philly radio, but im listening to them through gameday audio....and if i didnt know any better i would think hawk was announcing for them "where is that pitch? thats not low, not high, and its right down the plate" and "i dont know why dana demouth is umpiring this game. hes not a good game caller behind the plate. you have to have your best umps" and "thats already 2 or 3 blown calls behind the plate"

scoreless thru 2 innings...

i dont know how many innings he can pitch since hes gotta be rusty, but if Gallardo can pitch anything like he did before his injury, Brewers will have a pretty formidable 1-2 punch at the top of the rotation...although after that it gets pretty dicey

Phils take 2-0 lead, still batting, bottom 3rd.

I love baseball, but this is the one series I really could care less about.

and right after I say that, he proceeds to give up 3 runs on 2 hits & 3 walks, including a bases loaded walk...oops

thread jack/

easily my "favorite" Hawkism is when they show a replay of a close pitch and he yells "Where was that?" and me as a viewer can easily see that it was high/inside/outside or low..

/end thread jack

The inning should have been over long ago with no runs crossing the plate. Cameron badly misplayed a ball in CF that should have ended the inning but instead 2 runs scored and of course it's a f***ing double because in today's game it's almost impossible to commit an error.

Damn mlb.tv and TBS blacking this one out. Anyone watching it on a stream?

I'm not home yet, but what do you mean TBS is blacking it out? For real?

Cole Hamels dealin'. Perfect so far.

Two huge defensive blunders by Weeks and Cameron. Should be 0-0.

Hart single ends Hammels perfect game.

The Brewers are just bad, if CC isn't on the mound they're not going to win.

Since the game is on TBS, it's blacked out on MLB.tv.

Not to beat a dead horse, but I want to kill Frank Caliendo.

Yeah, seriously, how are people not completely over the 2 good impressions he has? He continues to add impressions, but they are terrible.

Madden
Bush

That's it.

His Al Pacino in particular is brutal.

I can't wait until he breaks out his Angela Landsbury.

Lots of his impressions are better heard than seen. His Jim Rome impersonation is awesome unless you see him do it, and that goes the same for a good portion of his impressions. I used to listen to a lot of his stuff when I worked in radio 8 years ago, and I thought they were really good. but when i saw him do the impressions live, it really lost its luster

How hard is it to do an impression of either of those 2 anyway? It's like his awful screaming Jerry Seinfeld, pretty much anyone can do it.

When your team isn't playing, these low-scoring NL games are a bit of a snoozer.

Lidge is trying to do his thing.

Braun's double in the top of the 9th off Lidge puts it at 3-1 now.
1 out, 1 on, Prince up.

I can just imagine Paulie up to bat in game 7 against Lidge later this month. Who's going to change Lidge's diaper?

That Pujols homer was crazy to watch, it went from one of the loudest crowds I've ever heard to dead silence in a split second. It was so quiet that you could hear his cleats when he was rounding the bases

Game.

he WP'd the 2 and tying run into scoring position with Hart AB

but Hart Ks

Ahh I thought the "ghosts of postseason past" were haunting Lidge today, but he narrowly escaped disaster. I just wonder what is going to be going through his mind every time he pitches in the postseason here in 2008, and I worry that those ghosts will eventually catch up with him and lose his team a game or two.

Corey Hart has been an absolute disaster for the last month. His September makes Dye's September look Ruthian.

LMAO @ Cole Hamels' voice. Ridiculously high and squeaky for such a tall guy.

Cole Hamels is only 6'3? His frame gives the illusion of being much taller.

Brad Lidge is very metally fragile right now. If he blows his next save I think he'll start having trouble. Although if he saves a couple in a row that confidence will be pretty high.

Konerko's slam wasn't off of Lidge.

CC Sabathia vs. Brett Myers...Game 2. 5:10pm CT, Thursday!

Bases loaded walk in the first gets Brewers up 1-0. That maybe all CC needs.

DP. Phils get out of it.

Corey Hart continues his awesome performance of late.

Sabathia vs. Myers is an extremely favorable matchup for the Brewers.

CC walks 2 with 2 out in the 2nd, including Myers. Bases loaded.
