Jordan4life_2007 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) Congrats to the Giants. They've got three of the absolute worst contacts in baseball. But when you get Uribe, Torres, Huff, Burrell, Lopez, for what, 7 million combined? In other words they were pretty damn lucky. Oh yeah, they can pitch too.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Another thing? Did this game start before 7? It's a damn shame a 3-2 game lasted this f***ing long. These playoffs games are honestly starting to bore the f*** outta me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I have a feeling this might have been the last time the Phillies have a super legit chance at winning it all. Â They'll still be a playoff team next year, but they probably won't get Werth back. That rotation of theirs is still really good, but this is not a young team and I think we might see some regressions from a lot of their position players (Rollins, Ibanez, Polanco, maybe even Utley).

The Phillies simply didn't hit like they have in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Meh, that's too easy. And they rectified that mistake by netting Oswalt. They might not have even won their division without his insane stretch to end the season. They were plenty good enough to beat the Giants. They just didn't hit. Edited October 24, 2010 by Jordan4life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe its because I'm in India, but I've thoroughly enjoyed all of the games. I've been waking up a little early out here in the AM to make sure I can catch em all. Both series were fun to watch, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you read his post? He did say they were probably still a playoff team. Being the favorite doesn't really mean much, as they were the overwhelming favorite this year.

Â With all due respect and I mean no harm ... fans of both teams will tell you "f*** off." Â Seriously, it's a darn good WS in my mind. You know why? Cause both teams deserve to be there. Who gives a f*** about the ratings? Who gives a f*** that NY, Boston and the fricking Phillies are sitting home??? Not me. I like this WS. I like it a lot! And good luck to Texas overcoming the homecourt disadvantage since we lost the meaningless all star game. Yes the AL lost to the minor league NL. You listen to some people on here and the NL is like Class A baseball. Â I'm sure some people thought CWS vs. Houston was an awful WS as well. Uh, fans in Chicago (well some of Chicago) and Houston were darn happy to be there. I am surprised so many people care about ratings. f*** the ratings. Play ball!!!!

Then when we get some new blood we hear how it's going to be a s***ty series and nobody will watch. Honestly, I'm really starting to lose interest in playoff baseball (unless the Sox are there, of course). If anything, the ridiculous length of the games are what's going to keep people from tuning in. These games are just taking wayyyyyyyy too f***ing long. We're not even talking about 10-8 slugfests in which you expect the game to run longer. Even the low scoring games are taking forever. Tonight's game took 3:41 minutes. Are you serious? For a 3-2 score? And this has become a trend. I don't know what the hell can be done about it. But baseball has to come up with something. Buster Onley proposed a 15-20 second pitch clock. Sounds pretty crazy. But I'm not sure I'd be that against it. Edited October 24, 2010 by Jordan4life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
