NL Championship Series: Dodgers vs Phillies Game 3 (8:07 pm ET on TBS)

[DirtyKash]

Hiroki Kuroda for the Dodgers, Cliff Lee for the Phillies. Who ya got?

[Providence A's]

Kuroda? Are they serious? I'll be shocked if the Phillies lose this game. The Dodgers only chance is that they keep it close and get to the Phillies bullpen.

Shocker, Kuroda implodes. Howard triples to bring in two, Werth homers to bring in Howard, Kuroda cries. Good move Torre.

If you got any bright ideas, I'd like to know. Randy Wolf doesn't scare any lineups, and Billingsley was failure in last year's NLCS. Kuroda was the only guy with a good track record against the Phillies.

[General]

It's sad that I thought starting Jon Garland was a better idea.

[missionhockey21]

I thought Garland was a better idea too. But you know the Dodgers, in particular splits like you mentioned, much better than I mofo.

[realmofotalk]

So Garland with his career 8.02 ERA against the Phillies was better idea. Great, I feel so much better.

[missionhockey21]

I just said, I had no clue on splits for the Dodgers pitchers. I am actually rather surprised Kuroda is as good as he was against the Phillies, I just didn't think he matched up well. On paper though, I guess it was the best and most logical move.

[missionhockey21]

Hopefully the Dodgers can get to Lee, get a few runs on the board, and get that Phillies bullpen in so we can have an actual game here to watch.

[General]

I'm not gonna hold my breath.

[realmofotalk]

The S3F jinx is dead. **** me.

[DirtyKash]

You can't expect to win all of the games on the road anyways. Just take 1 of 3 in Philly and go home to sweep both at Dodger Stadium.

[missionhockey21]

Well, at least the Amazing Race was good tonight.

[realmofotalk]

Nibbling the strike zone only led to deep counts and walks, and pounding the strike zone only led to hits and deep bombs. It's like the Phillies hitters just have no holes in their swing.

[realmofotalk]

You can't expect to win all of the games on the road anyways. Just take 1 of 3 in Philly and go home to sweep both at Dodger Stadium.

I don't expect them to win even one game in Philly. Not after that garbage that took place tonight.
