This might look familiar. A little over a year ago, the Phillies led the Dodgers 3-1 in the NLCS and sent left-hander Cole Hamels out to the mound to close out the series and send the Phillies on to the World Series for the first time since 1993. The Phillies won the game 5-1 and Hamels was named the Series MVP. The difference this year is that the Phillies are at home, but the lead is still 3-1 and Hamels is back on the mound trying to close it out. Can they close it out or will the umpires screw up enough tonight to send it back to LA?

First!
I was wondering if there was even going to be a gamethread. The interest has been underwhelming of late.

It's that time of year
We usually have a large dip in traffic in October and November. The average fan has already moved on to other sports.
Definitely a good argument.
Not us stalwart mods, though
Cough, cough.

Just Manny being Manny
It’s not as bad as when he thought he’d been taken out of the game, and came running out half-dressed when he found out he was supposed to play left field.
Or the time when he disappeared from the outfield while the pitcher was about to throw, and revealed he’d been inside the Big Monster, peeing in a cup

what channel is the game on?
i heard a report today that Super Ballplayer Keith Hernandez was sitting in the clubhouse smoking a cigarette and drinking a beer, shirtless, when Mookie Wilson hit the ball that Buckner muffed in the ’86 WS.
I’d say this is a non-issue.
"I have found me a home"
Cole Hamels is looking like a male model
Vicente Padilla is…confident enough in his masculinity to wear a pink shirt.

Sorry for not sending you flowers for Sweetest Day by the way, I totally spaced.

easy.....
If it wouldn’t fuck up the thread and make people angry I’d delete that. :)
"What the hell are spanks????"
I also drink more than any other mod, shake my moneymaker more than any other mod, and have more legal paperwork than any other mod.
"What the hell are spanks????"
True, he's a wild one
He just sent me a flash video that features a horse penis.
"What the hell are spanks????"
Cole Hamels does look like a male model
but Padilla is not so lucky. His gameday pic makes him look worse than he atcually is, though.
We have to deal with men
That’s enough to make anyone crazy.

Utley has reached bases safely in 25 straight postseason games, tying Boog Powell’s all-time record. #Phillies
Definitely a good argument.
Well, when a text message and the internet really love each other....
They get together and have rough sex, resulting in Twitter.
"What the hell are spanks????"
This isn't an explanation, but I liked this from Poz the other day
“Tweeting on wireless service on a plane to LA. If I told someone that 100 years ago, they wouldn’t understand one word.”
Definitely a good argument.
if you had told someone that 5 years ago
they wouldnt understand it.
by Charlie Scrabbles on Oct 21, 2009 8:39 PM EDT up reply actions
I think people would have guessed what it meant to have wireless service on a plane
the tweeting is the only new thing.
Definitely a good argument.
meh
on a plane i quaff adult beverages and flirt with ornery girls.
tweet, my ass
"I have found me a home"
Also, it had no subject...
so I have no idea what it’s about.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
ZOMG, you can't use my real name on the internet!
People will know who I am! I should TOTALLY delete this comment.
"What the hell are spanks????"
Huh
Boog Powell did something other than open up a BBQ stand. I’ll be dipped.

shoulda listened to Poodle
and plunked him.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
To paraphrase Austen,
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that Jayson Werth should be beaned in any dangerous situation
Too bad Torre didn't listen to you
He might be winning the game now if he did!
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
They probably would be
I am surprised to see how low his AVG is though. Maybe Torre didn’t have enough respect to break out the bean ball ;)
Oh, you're about to learn who you're gonna call!
…Ghostbusters.

Sherrill. In the 4th
This does not look good for the Dodgers.
"If it wasn't this, it'd be something else."
facing a team of good hitters
tends to do that.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
someplace where there's a real party, probably.
which would explain why I’m here.
"If it wasn't this, it'd be something else."
fooled me
I thought it was Andrew who posted that.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I didn't even look at the name until I read your reply, I assumed it was him
"What the hell are spanks????"
I like how I lost two letters there
I’d love to blame my phone, but I’m not posting from it.
"What the hell are spanks????"
I didn't even notice
but I mentally correct typos which is why I post so many (I think that is a decent excuse for now)
I sorta kinda figured it out
Facebook chat does weird things to Firefox at my house. Of course, my Firefox install is pretty well fuckered, so there’s that too. When someone sends a message to me in another tab, I lose the ability to type in a RR text box.
"What the hell are spanks????"
Not looking good for the Dodgers
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Or they should score more
Which is looking more possible with Chan Ho Park on the mound.

Hey gang - Well another great night for the BAMM team
Yep we’ve now taken over the league lead at Stone’s Lanes.
Tonight’s score by your RR representative:
160
176
191
The more I drink the better I get.
So i see that BubbaFan has thrown Joey over for Cole Hamels
he’s a looker alright – goofy fucker
And he’s married – what a lovely couple
Ms. Brain Dead 2008 and Goofy
Jay Bruce will become a major league baseball STAR, starting in April, 2010.....
Hamels is quite a looker
but I think Bubba was just pointing out that he is a male model—not necessarily making an evaluative claim about Joey V’s relative merits ;) If there was a baseball Mr. Universe, contest though, I think Joey would edge Hamels out in the homerun competition.
In any case, we need to get the Reds in the playoffs so we can continue to post pictures of Dusty looking silly, Jonny Gomes and, of course, Jay Bruce’s hair.
All I'm sayin' is, Poodle...
These people look really stupid. Braindead…look at her dress for Christsakes…
BubbaFan would never thow Joey over for this dork…especially after realizing how insipid his taste in women is.
Jay Bruce will become a major league baseball STAR, starting in April, 2010.....
Where did they get those kids
And what are they doing with them in bed?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Almost spit my beer out there
The Hamels actually just adopted or are about to adopt an Ethopian kid.
Well its time for Mads to hit the hay...
Think I’ll check me out some Chapelle show
Jay Bruce will become a major league baseball STAR, starting in April, 2010.....
Let's go, Manny
Make this game interesting.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
The lead is down to five!
I guess this could possibly be a game.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
bases loaded
But the bottom of the order coming up.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
A lot of lost opportunities for the Trolley-Dodgers tonight
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
they gave up fewer hits
than the Phillies did.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
You're in luck!
They’re not playing in this game.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I thought the announcer made this up...
but no, they really did grease poles in Philadelphia so that people wouldn’t climb them in celebration of a win tonight.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
I heard that tonight
Someone commented that it’s stupid to announce it ahead of time because hooligans might bring degreasers with them.
Oh, right
I forgot you’re in Philly for a second. Good luck with that. :)
"What the hell are spanks????"
I went to Philly last year after they clinched a spot in the Series
and had a delicious Phillies cupcake at the market. Have a delicious cupcake, ken. It tastes like the sweetness of victory.

Won't it conflict with the NBA finals by then?
Definitely a good argument.
