October 7, 201015 yr HOLY CRAP!!! The sun came up. Man, would've lost a bet on that one. I refuse to turn on Sportscenter or sports talk radio today. Can't do it. Boys are going to come out thumpin tomorrow. You know they're ticked. As for patience, for those that want them to make a guy like Halladay work the count. He threw first pitch strikes to 25 of 28 batters. Hit em when you get em.
October 7, 201015 yr Who does the off day help/hurt more? I thought about this. I really think it will hurt Philly more. The Reds will be stewing about this for an extra day but everyone in their brother will want to talk to all the Phils about the experience. I think they lose focus a little more than the Reds today. I think that's good. Plus, they have to be EXTREMELY confident at this point.
October 7, 201015 yr Who does the off day help/hurt more? For the series it helps the Phillies. For game 2? Neither IMO.
October 7, 201015 yr I think the Reds will hold true to form and bounce back with a win on Friday. We have already beaten Lee Harvey twice this year. Third time will be a charm. We'll go all Jack Ruby on him.
October 7, 201015 yr Hey, do you think the baseball Gods were smiling on Halladay simply to repay him for having to pitch in Canada? Oswalt sucks, and so does Hamels but more importantly, The Cardinals still suck. Just needed to make that perfectly clear that I loathe them. I didn't listen to Mike and Mike this morning on the way to work cause I didn't want to hear that baloney any more either.
October 7, 201015 yr You missed and Mike (Greenberg) telling the story of watching the game with his seven year old son that they will remember for ever and ever and ever... I almost yaaked my mcMuffin on to I-75.
October 7, 201015 yr I'm fairly indifferent about the Reds and honestly I'd at least like for them to win the game on Sunday as I have a lot of friends going to their first postseason game, there are just so many Reds fans around here that I like to give them a little ribbing (similar to what UK fans get in this area). One of the teams I do not like however is Philly, but I've always liked and admired Doc so I wanted to see him do well and will continue to hope he does good this postseason. My main concern in the NL is that the freakin' Braves get put out ASAP (this sentiment was with me long before BGP existed)!
October 7, 201015 yr ^ Jerk. :lol: I didn't watch SC or any radio this morning either because I didn't wanna hear it.
October 7, 201015 yr My 5 year old bought a Phillies shirt a few weeks ago. He woke up this morning and asked where it was. Told him I gave it to the monster under his bed.
October 7, 201015 yr Roy Oswalt vs Reds this year: 0-2 6.75 vs Reds in career: 23-3 2.81 in 32 starts at Citizens Bank Park: 9-0 2.10 in 10 career starts at Citizens Bank Park since trade: 5-0 1.75
October 7, 201015 yr ^ Jerk. :lol: I didn't watch SC or any radio this morning either because I didn't wanna hear it. Nah. It is football season and a near screw-up in the Yankees game so the coverage is not as over the top as you think. No-hitters or near no-hitters (what, probably 12-13 times this year?) occurred so many times this year the excitement of them is not what they once were. The most amazing stat I heard was that the Reds never had less than three hits in a game all season.
