I got a big decision to make whether to watch the Phillies playoff game or the VP debate?

    That pretty nearly describes what you listen to during most national broadcasts of baseball games these days too.

    It appears that the Brewers went to the well one time too many with CC.

    Had they won yesterday they could have held off and gave the guy an extra day of rest.


    IMO they should have anyway.

    true. would that have made game 5 3 days rest? either way, no worse an option than what they're doing to him now. the injury to Sheets down the stretch is massive

    IMHO, they should have let CC face howard. CC was making howard look silly...

    get two TV sets, place them close together and turn the volume off for the game and the volume up for the debate... after about 15 minutes, I predict only one TV will be on, but you can make that choice.image

    Phillies looking real good. REAL GOOD.
  • stevekstevek Posts: 29,035 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I've always believed as a "guideline, that if your team has a lead of more runs than innings left to play, it's a good thing towards a win. A 3 run lead with 2 innings left for the Brewers is a good thing.

    Things are going too dam good - Phillies look great...Penn State is #6 and playing extremely well. Is there a comet headed towards earth that I'm not aware of?
  • stevekstevek Posts: 29,035 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I of course was going to watch the Phillies game. I initially thought the debate was starting at 8:00 for some reason, but the game is going to run into the debate at 9:00.

    What the hey, I'm voting for McCain anyway, and Obama is going to win anyway, so I'm watching the Phillies game. LOL

    Well obviously this series is over. Phillies are playing way too well and the Brewers although they got a little hot towards the very end of the season, really had been in some disarray with the fired manager and everything.

    I feel a little bad for Cubs fan because I do understand their pain - i mean it doesn't get much more painful than a record 10,000 Phillies losses.

    Looks like the Phillies - Dodgers for the NL pennant, and frankly I think the Phillies will be a strong favorite to win that series. So it's looking good, but of course it's far from over because even if all goes well for the Phillies in the NL, there's still that little problem of having to play that Junior Circuit team for the championship.

    No, only the word "guaranteed" seems to screw it up for me lately. LOL

    Fans seem to over-analyze reasons for that, but i've always believed the bottom line to that series was the Yankees simply weren't hungry enough and Boston was "hungry" galore. The Phillies are hungry galore and there's no conceivable way they can now lose this series - it's impossible.

    What I failed to communicate is that in baseball it is much easier to win three in a row then four in a row. Especially when
    you have two out of three games at home. The Sox had to win two at home and two on the road. The Brewers just have to
    win one on the road.

    I like the Phillies attitude. Not only are they hungry, but their manager has a no-nonsense, come to work with your hard hat mentality.
    I like that. Dallas Green was the same way.

    Well, if it's a 50/50 proposition, then the real odds of winning 3 in a row are 1 in 8 and the real odds of winning 4 in a row are 1 in 16. That being said, I think the odds of the Phillies losing this series is impossible.
