    The Phillies are En Fuego and the Pence move was just what they needed. Now, they have a very good offense and just a nasty pitching staff.

    "Slump" simply ain't gonna happen with this team. The Phillies are talented and motivated, and that is a very tough combination to beat.

    This team will go down in MLB history as one of the top ten teams of all time.

    Depending on your computer operating system, you could do a systems restore, of which the one you can do would keep all your current files, photos, etc, while removing all of the viruses which get in the registry. Certain types of downloaded programs though may have to be reloaded. Don't do the full systems restore or everything would be removed and your computer would be restored to its original virgin condition.

    There are also online services which will safely and accurately do all of this for you for around $75 to $150 - takes around an hour to do, you give them online access to your computer and they clean everything up for you.

    BTW - You probably picked up that computer virus from the Atlanta Braves website. image

    My computer is so bad it won't let me go on line. The last time I turned th computer on I had to unplug it to get it to turn off. I just quit messing with it. I have a Sony Vaio (Viao) with XP system.

    I caught a similar type of virus around 6 months ago - it was called "designte" and was making its ugly rounds on the internet at that time. I couldn't log on to the internet, and couldn't even open up my files, and it would block any attempt at a restore. To make a long story short, I think I could successfully remove it now if I caught it again, but I'm still not 100% sure because of course I won't know that unless I catch it again or a similar virus.

    With another computer at that time, I did some quick research and found:

    Our technical support toll free helpline in US is 1 888 220 4599

    I thnk they may have another phone number for sales, but you can Google it at work and easily find it. You would call them at home, and on the phone they will tell you how to get the computer online to them, and then they will remove that virus and all the other adware and malware on your computer, and you won't lose any data or files. As I mentioned, I had to reupload a few programs, but amazingly, the data on these programs was all still there. Highly recommended but it wasn't cheap - cost me $139 but I gladly paid it because I can't be without a computer.
  • I was actually watching a Phillies game tonight on TV. I know the game was on ESPN but was watching it on SportsSouth. One of the SportsSouth channels here carries the Braves and for some reason or the other we get the Reds on the other one? Was watching on the Reds channel so I wouldn't have to listen to the biased ESPN announcers. ESPN announcers switch sides during a game more times than I can count. Terrible coverage. Stevek should be happy, the Phils won.

    Of course I'm always happy when the Phillies win, but not jubilant at this point...the NL East race was obviously over a number of weeks ago.

    Not much to really root hard about until the playoffs...I'm saving up my fan energy for then. LOL

    I saw that the Phillies picked up John Bowker. Good luck.

    Oh, by the way, Aaron Rowand just got DFA'ed. I'm sure he'd love to come back to Philly and see about getting his 3rd WS ring.

    I'm glad the Yankees lost that series. Nothing against the Yankees in this regard because I would have preferred to have seen another Phillies-Yankees World Series...but I think the outcome of that Yankees-Tigers series will help wakeup the Phillies tonight to realize that a heavily favored team still needs to go out there, and produce, and win the game.

    Phillies win tonight's game easily - no problem...I'm not even worried about it...and thank you Yankees for providing the needed message to the Phillies players.

    I agree. Phillies win easily and they win big. Doc Halladay is a remarkable pitcher.

    Sorry, I guess no one outside of SF (and Philly) knows who that is. Nevermind.


    Well, ok. I'll tell you.

    Cody Ross. Unknown outfielder who got picked up off wavers for nothing, and decided to hit a pair of homers off Halladay in game 1 of the NLCS last year.

    Thanks for clearing that up.

    Honestly, when the Cardinals are out of it, I quite watching. Yes, I am a huge baseball fan. I love to play more than watch. It's just when the Cardinals are out of it, I cope with it by just not watching anymore. I then start to look forward to UK basketball.

    Boy, SteveK, you came back to the board just to put the kabosh on the Phillies WS dreams??

    The mercenary Philly players are getting lazier each season. Before long, even the Mets will pass them in the standings, LOL..

    I've been envisioning this for about 3 innings now. Howard will do his Arod....and K to end the game.

  • HyperionHyperion Posts: 7,440 ✭✭✭
    at least he made contact. phillies gotta get somemore contact. lots of great memories from the year, painful to watch them die a slow death to a lesser team, but you get hot when you get hot.

    Ibanez: gone
    Rollins: gone
    Polanco: gone

    pitching staff still 100% in place though.

    He improved this time. He actually made contact with the ball.

    Pay Oswalt 16 million or buy him out for 2 million...Oswalt is good as gone as well. Don't be surprised if with the money they save from Oswalt and Ibanez that they'll go after C.C. Sabathia (player option can opt out of NY)
    Next MONTH? So he's saying that if he wins, the best-case scenario is that he'll be paying for it two weeks after the auction ends?

    nah, the phillies know they need more contact offense. every guy they have is a swing-and-misser except for polanco who wasn't been able to stay healty outside of the 2cd month of the season for 2 years now.

    Oswalt will probably come back after a buyout for an 7-8 million year contract to be the 5th starter, that is if they dont make Cole a MASSIVE Contract offer.

    Looks like having the best pitching staff in MLB still doesn't guarantee anything. I guess my hopes for a rematch of 2009 won't happen again.

  • ernie11ernie11 Posts: 1,946 ✭✭✭✭✭
    For us Phillies fans, a sad early ending to the post-season. I don't feel so terrible, though, not being an all-or-nothing kind of fan. I've been a Phils fan for over 40 years and I can truly say that watching them during the regular season this year was mostly a total joy. Other than their one end-of-season slump, they were consistently good, and rarely lost a series. No complaints from this fan, I loved the 2011 Phillies.

    agreed. we had literally 7 months of basking in wins and high quality baseball. a 2 game losing streak, ending in a shutout to an all-star can't negate everything tho it is disappointing.

    and why it's good to be a phillies fan? the team is intact, especially pitching and we're a lead pipe sinch for a 95+ win season (Barring injury) and a playoff berth all over again. that's why it's good to be a phillies fan. relevance in all the major sports (except bball)
  • GarabaldiGarabaldi Posts: 2,004 ✭✭✭
    I am happy that they lost, but feel bad about Howard. Never good to see a player get hurt and might miss the season.
