Yes I'm being a bitch because I don't think the Phils will score enough runs to beat Carpenter. Do I think the Phils can win game 5 yes but it will have to be a 1-0, 2-1 type game. If the Cards score 3 or 4 runs I dont see the Phils pulling it out. Doc will have to bring his best stuff and be able to go 8 or 9 innings. The key for Doc is to get through the first inning with no runs allowed and getting the leadoff hitter each inning. He has really struggled this season getting the innings leadoff hitter who are hitting around .300 off of him. I believe Carpenter will go 6-8 strong innings. I hope I'm wrong.
Howard, Raul and Shane will have to have good games at the plate and help J-Roll out.

Impressive how valuable Jerry Hairston Jr has been in this series.
Micah Owings was 8-0 this season and has pitched several innings in the playoffs.

Often in the playoffs it seems as if managers do silly things that don't add up.....but somehow work....see Bob Brenly
I think a Yankees move that makes no sense on paper....but one of those gut feelings.....give Andruw Jones the start over Swisher or Gardner.

Don Kelly will play 3rd for Detroit, Magglio will get the start in the outfield. Also Verlander threw a bullpen session today and won't be used at all tonight

Man....if it went into extra innings or after Valverde was done.....and I had Justin verlander.....he'd pitch, and he would take that ball every time.

Yep I think the same thing. I guess he asked Leyland if there was any chance of him pitching tonight and he said no. That was before he threw the bullpen session.

Not related to playoffs, but Chi-Sox announce Robin Ventura as their new manager.

The anti-Guillen. I'm pretty pumped about this move, but I don't really know his managerial history.hoops23;923991 wrote:Not related to playoffs, but Chi-Sox announce Robin Ventura as their new manager.

Has he ever managed? He was an advisor for the team for most of the past season.chicago510;923995 wrote:The anti-Guillen. I'm pretty pumped about this move, but I don't really know his managerial history.

Swisher, maybe. But Gardner is a huge +fielding and +speed guy, that benching him for an equal bat is iffy.Ironman92;923951 wrote:Often in the playoffs it seems as if managers do silly things that don't add up.....but somehow work....see Bob Brenly

He hasn't, just googled it. But neither did Ozzie. I meant anti-Guillen in terms of personality obviously.gorocks99;923997 wrote:Has he ever managed? He was an advisor for the team for most of the past season.

My post says it's dumb on paper....
Jones would get it done. He would catch anything he touches and his arm still works. He wouldn't need his speed jogging around the bases on a 2 run HR.

I hear you. Girardi to me seems like a pretty big numbers/by the book guy.Ironman92;924033 wrote:My post says it's dumb on paper....

Girardi pulls Nova after 2 innings. I get that he gave up the 2 solo HR...but this early?
