NL Championship Series: Dodgers vs Phillies Game 4 (Monday 8:07 pm ET on TBS)

[DirtyKash]

I'm not sure I like the 2-3-2 format but it's probably best in a sport like baseball. If only they could cut down on all these freakin' off days.


The pitching matchup:

---
Randy Wolf (0-0, 4.91 ERA) vs. Joe Blanton (0-0, 4.91 ERA)

f---ing great, not only will we never live down the fact that James Phoney was picked ahead of Matt Cain, but Fat Joe Blanton is already making his case. But yay, he's slightly better than Travis Ishikawa.

Randy Wolf will re-define the vengeance scale taking on his old team. So... upset?

[realmofotalk]

But Randy Wolf is a Dodger fan. God hates those guys. That may also explain Chase Utley being possessed by Steve Sax.

[Providence A's]

Ryan Howard homered to make it 2 - 0 already. Great job Randy.

[Foster]

Why people want to pitch to Howard is beyond me.
Guy is destroying the ball.

[missionhockey21]

Yep. The dude is normally scary as hell to pitch to, but he is on fire now. Giving him something to hit is like putting a dot (or a pretzel) in front of Pacman, you know it's just a matter of time before it is gone.

[realmofotalk]

Can we buy a ****ing hit off Fat Joe Blanton?

[missionhockey21]

Ryan Howard has tied Lou Gehrig with RBI's in 8 straight playoff games.

[realmofotalk]

Wow, we're ****ed. They even got the umps to screw Randy.

[realmofotalk]

Shit, I hate the Cryin' Hawaiian.

[realmofotalk]

Hooray, Slappy McGroundout finally comes through.

[realmofotalk]

I had no idea Russ can hit with RISP.

[DirtyKash]

Blake's now 1-for-25 against Fat Joe Blanton. That's not very good.

[missionhockey21]

Tied game, huh.

Is it weird that Joe Blanton's facial hair never bothered me when he was an Athletic but it pisses me off now? Like he dipped his chin in shoe polish or something.
