You completely deserved that loss. That was fucking awful.
Lee should have pitched tonight. We need the win tomorrow.
Here are my gripes - and I’m not a Phillies fan, so bear with me:
- Charlie said he didn’t want to put Lee out there on short rest. Dude, this is the World Series. You put him out there on short rest. He’s got the rest of the offseason to ice his arm. You really want to go down 3 games to 1 because of short rest? Are you also not going to pitch him on short rest if it comes down to a game 7 and you have to start Hamels?
- I think the Yankees lose tomorrow to Lee or because Burnett has a meltdown—or because they want to—and go home up 3-2 with Petitte throwing Game 6. They’re a storied franchise and what’s a better story than that? New Yankee stadium, Petitte pitching, A-Rod feeling like a 10-year-old girl/centaur? Nothing. At least the baseball season lasts a little longer.
- BRAD LIDGE, YOU ARE THE WORST CLOSER IN THE HISTORY OF THE POSITION! Last year was magical. That’s the only explanation. Angels touched your arm, and Jesus called your strikes, SOMETHING. Jesus, I can’t imagine what it’s like to realize you just gave up 3 runs instead of 3 outs, and then having to watch Mariano Rivera close a game. I’d go home and cry, after clearing all the toilet paper out of my front yard.
- Cole Hamels was overheard by reporters last night saying, “I can’t wait for this season to be over.” Yeah, there’s probably no time for you between filming shitty Comcast commercials, cleaning your newborn’s shitty diapers, and having shitty starts to relax and unwind. I can’t imagine how hard your life is, Cole Hamels. Go take a ride in your MVP Chevy Cobalt around Rittenhouse to clear your head.
- Hey, at least the Eagles won, right? Oh right, this isn’t a football town anymore.
1. Lee should have started last night on 3days rest. Just because he never has doesn’t mean he’ll suck at it. Then if needed he’d be available for Game 7 on 4days rest. But in the end, I think he’ll still start 7.
2. They definitely want to win it in their ballpark. Especially if they do it in Game 6 when I’m guessing Pedro’s starting. That’d be a good story.
3. I have no fricken clue why Lidge came in there… Manuel wasn’t putting him in when it’s a “stressful” situation. Game 4 of the World Series, tied in the 9th is pretty fuckin stressful. Anybody else should have came in.
4. After that comment Hamels should have been benched. Obviously he’s pushing some bad energy throughout the lockeroom and it’s not helping anyone… He’s acting like a spoiled child. We’ve already heard how much last postseason messed up his training, why don’t you either man up or just leave the park and go train?
5. Not an Eagles fan, but if both teams would have won last night, Philadelphia would have exploded.
*I don’t think we’re going to win this. I’ve seen more losses come out from them than wins, so I don’t have such high hopes. It would be great to come from behind of course, but really? IDK. I’ll just lounge in my Phillies shirt today and not care about what shit I get from all these supposed Yankeess fans here. But come on, if you haven’t watched a game all season or know anything at all about baseball, don’t pretend to be a true fan.
