Phillies/Rays (World Series Game 2) In-Game-Thread

[ryanXL977]

this game should be 0-0 or 1-0 at most

unreal

[unde0087]

Ryan, your Phillies just got it up the ass from that pathetic umpire crew. That is the first time I have ever witnessed an umpire ring up a batter and then let him go to first. Didn't know they allowed retards to get behind the plate

[ryanXL977]

no shit. maybe tonite aint their night
i told my mom lastnight to be tb tonite
i had to bet phils at 160 though

if phils win this i will be very very very surpised

**** these umps

myers wife is in deep shit

[bigboydan]

I doubt the Phillies will score here.

[nysmoneyman]

big game james

[moneyline]

Wonder if Utley will work on hitting the ball the other way/learn how to bunt next year or, I guess, more teams will use the shift against him, a-la Giambi ... I see how it works against Giambi because he is slow and awkward ... tell me, why can't an agile 2nd baseman defeat it again?

[ryanXL977]

ryan howard can now hit, bc no runners are on

this is insane
how many risp will philly leave
gonna blow it , fcukers

[ryanXL977]

2 straight games of 100000 left risp

this is insane
****ing insane

[moneyline]

Well, at least you know when Howard is up next with the bases loaded, down by 3, he will strike out ...

It is obvious that many of the Phillies are on a bigger stage than they should be ... makes the Yankees winning 4 World Series in 5 years all the more amazing!

[ryanXL977]

certainly lets judge them off of tonites first 4 innings. lets judge 175+ games off of that

[nysmoneyman]

if the phillies don't come back in this game...their weak pitching will get exposed and they are in a lot of trouble

[ryanXL977]

phils wont win this game
they will win game 4 and 5

[moneyline]

Phillies are a team that has one VERY GOOD starting pitcher and a solid bullpen and a lineup of hitters who are choking their way through the World Series ...

Rays in 6 ...

[nysmoneyman]

phils wont win this game
they will win game 4 and 5

your a great capper...and i respect u +110% but i feel the rays are much to strong in their starting pitching...they will get it done

only time will prove one of us wrong

[ryanXL977]

if the phils hit like this , they will lose in 5

[moneyline]

Where will Utley hit the DP grounder? I think 2nd base, but it might be 1st!

[moneyline]

Whoops, I mean right field! The Phils are really a fundamentally sound team ...

[ryanXL977]

1-1 split out of tb
nothing wrong with that
i just cant lay -160 on tb

[nysmoneyman]

you loved tampa bay and the phills this year...why choose one over the other

u know myers/moyers are in a tough spot

why not bet on the rays

-160 is not terrible...i've seen u bet on games more than -160

[BrUno0]

lol any other game the score is 2-0 rays max. that error in the 1st by werth killed us, and the phillies leaving 3 men on base every inning also doesn't help, i wouldn't be surprised if phillies came back, not like shields is lights out or anything, he's no hamels.

[yisman]

myers wife is in deep shit

Very true.

This game going as expected.

Shields was decent.

[yisman]

1-1 split out of tb
nothing wrong with that
i just cant lay -160 on tb

when it's Shields vs. Wife Beater, I'll do it every time.

This game ain't over yet, but it's going as expected.

[Tsoprano]

Lets go Rays!!

[moneyline]

Myers pitched fine ... Werth, between his 2 run error in the 1st and getting doubled off on a shallow fly later on has been the 'goat o the game'.

[yisman]

Wheeler, high fastball doesn't mean "over the batter's head." That's three times already.

[moneyline]

Howard is ready to strike out ...

Bye-bye, Howie ...

[blackbart]

r howard is killin the phillies

[yisman]

why would you say "uh oh" after the walk to Utley? I'd rather face Howard than Utley with a runner on second.

[CaneDawg]

a star is born

[moneyline]

Ryan Howard = Dave Kingman ...

Too bad too ... he once looked like an actual major league hitter ...

(and it doesn't take a star to stop the Phils from scoring ... just a warm body with a heartbeat and a glove)

[ryanXL977]

gonna be a helluva series
i lean tb now simply bc phils apparently would rather not hit with risp

but they will at home
next game is huge

[yisman]

Jayson Werth 2008 vs. righties: 8 homers in 263 ABs
Jayson Werth 2008 vs. lefties: 16 homers in 155 ABs


Wow!

[yisman]

gonna be a helluva series
i lean tb now simply bc phils apparently would rather not hit with risp

but they will at home
next game is huge

huh? If they will hit with RISP at home, then why do you lean TB?

[ryanXL977]

tb gets 2 more home games
hammels wont lose in g5

[yisman]

ok, but so what? You should bet Philly, then.

I like TB because the Rays have the pitching advantage in 4 of the 5 remaining games. Win three and they win the Series. They can do that.
