Hey Phillies.Let's have a fun one.Predictions?Dodgers in 5.
Oh, and I still say if the Phillies played us this series, we could of swept them.The thing the Phillies need against us is patience. Howard has about as much patience as a ticking time bomb.
Leave the Phillies to me.
I'm more confident about this than the Cubs, but I think their ace is really good.I hope we can take Game 1.
Phillies in 6.Hamels wins games 1 & 5, Myers loses game 2, wins game 6, Blanton/Moyer win game 3 or 4.
Beyond Hamels the Phillies starters are shaky as hell. I don't care what Moyer's record in the regular season was, we're going to pound that shit.
Lowe, Billingsley, Kuroda, Kershaw are better pitchers than Hamels, Moyer, Myers, Blanton, and Moyers.
Lowe = Hamels (Honestly, Hamels may be a little bit better, but Lowe is a God in the playoffs)Billingsley >>> Myers (Nothing against Myers, but Bills is probably our best pitcher all-around. He is even to Hamels in my opinion.)Kuroda > Moyer (Taking Kuroda here)Kershaw = Blanton (Toss up. Both can fuck up, but both can pitch well.)
Kershaw has fucking filthy stuff. I'd take him over Blanton any day.
Phillies starters are shaky, and the Dodgers started weren't tested at all.Phillies in 7 because of homefield.

The Dodgers were tested, though.Seriously, if you come up to me and go, 'The Brewers played so much better than the Cubs!', then I'll laugh.The Brewers just as much shit as the Cubs were. They had Corey Hart fucking swinging at every pitch, and Cameron making stupid plays in the OF.
phillies in six. the dodgers are on a hot streak, and will cool down by thursday.dempster sucks. zambrano is broken. harden is hurting again, and lost velocity. the cubs looks horrible.
Corey Hart was swinging at everything, and every Cub looked like Corey Hart in that series.
>>383151...And the Brewers pitched an injured young guy, a guy who sucks in the playoffs, Bush who had a good start, and fucking Mr. I GIVE UP HOME RUNS ALL DAY.The Brewers weren't fucking great, but neither were the Cubs.But still, the Phillies weren't facing a great team.Probably worse than the Cubs.
