The Phillies had the poorest September (16-14) of the eight postseason teams...they are playing really well. Good thing they played the Braves in the final 3 games so they could be above .500 in september. Who cares how good you were in April.

I want to see the Cards win just to shut up some of you Philly homersComment -
cards went 18-8 in September. They aren't playing well at all.Comment -
More retarded comments from the cards boys.... did you forget that the phills clinched on the 18th and then proceeded to lose 8 straight playing their minor league squad? I wouldnt expect a cards fan to pay this much attention though..
And you wanna talk about playing weak competition? you played series vs atl pitt mets cubs astros and phills minor leaguers to end the season...really, you are that proud of getting in by the skin of your teeth bc of this schedule and an epic collapse by the braves??
unfortunately for you, its the big boys turn to play this weekendComment -
...please dont go hiding under a rock like all the braves faithful have done come tuesday night...Comment -
not really, the giants won with great defense, great starting pitching, and a great bull pen... the recipe for success in baseball...
oh well, maybe the cards will introduce a new recipe..

the phills didnt give two shits when they played the cards, the whole world knows that... but hey, i dont blame you... grab on to any hope you can, you will need it

laughing my ass off at all these philly fans thinking they are invincible..heard all this bullshit last year when my giants handed them their ass...although the cards dont have near the pitching the giants have this is baseball and anything is possible...the giants "soft" hitting as philly fan said last year had no chance of hitting the great roy halladay, cole hamels and roy oswalt but we all saw how that turned out...i dont give a shit who wins this series but for those of you that try and argue with a philly fan you might as well forget it..as far as they are concerned they have already won it allComment -
yea, ill prob make it to 1 game per series... usually the fans are blurred out when the games are nationally televised... if not, ill bring a big sign for you guys. Every time a lefty is up, you will see my ugly mug in the background

i strongly doubt the Cardinals win this series... but hey anything is possible and the Cardinals bats are hot.Comment -
LOL
Cards rotation set: Lohse, Jackson, Carpenter, Garcia.Comment -
phillies phans are stupid. just read a few posts in this thread to prove it.Comment -
wow herky, no posts in 3 months... all that time off to come back with that gem of a post? you must be a braves fan huh?Comment -
pitching wins playoff baseball remember thatComment -
The phillies fans are way too confident for a playoff series, that said the phillies are a good team, i don't think anybody is saying they're not to be honest. Fact is philly is favored and should be, they have great pitching which is huge in the playoffs. The Cards have some momentum on their side though and you have to like their hitting if you know anything about the team, lohse has been great of late too (without looking at numbers) and its not like we were everybody's pick in '06 either. I'm just lookin forward to some playoff baseball, which I did not expect to see for us a month agoComment -
david freese is the man, also if you guys noticed the cards players yelling torty during their celebration check out allen craig's pet turtle on twitter, pretty funny stuffComment -
Yeah Phillies are a lock to go to the World Series just like last year when... wait... oops, they blew it!!!
Alot can happen in october and I expect a couple of suprises this year as well.
I wont be putting a Dime on Phillies.
Comment -
No one is lock to ever win anything, but the Phillies proved in a LONG regular season to be head and shoulders above every other team.
Some people on this board are so ignorant and equate a Baseball Season to be something like the Football Season and it is not.Comment -
Phillies have the best road record this year.
Phillies won the most games this year, (and that's with a stretch at the end that they played minor leaguer's, but that doesn't even need to be mentioned, because they STILL won more games than anyone else)
Phillies have a 63% winning average; no other team has even a 60% winning average.
Only the Brewers have a better home record this year, but they also have a LOSING road record.
If you wanna talk "hot" teams, only Texas and Tampa (neither teams are in the NL) have a bigger W-streak right now.
People are so stupid who think that the Phillies losing a bunch of games at the end makes them any less of a team. They already clinched WAY before most teams, so why not rest your good players?
Of course anyone can win a 5 games series. If it was a 7 game series, I'd bet big on the Phils. But in a 5 game series, I'll sit back and watch

NL Central is the worst division in baseball. 18 games against the 3 worst teams on earth.
This is a no contest series.
This debate is foolery.Comment
