It said on MLB.com it was at "8 PM".

That's what time the coverage starts. They always go through pre-game stuff before the first pitch in game 1.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Fair enough... but fan bases are a main reason why I hate the teams I do. I hate the Yankees because their fans can't get off their high horses. Ungrateful, unappreciative, spoiled... well you get the point. I hate the Eagles and Phillies STRICTLY because of their fan bases, and I hate the Patriots but that's because Belicheck is a ****ing **** ****ing ******, but that's another story. The way I see it, these teams don't deserve championships again until my teams win again.

Only some fans are unnappreciative. I dislike a lot of younger Yankee fans b/c they can be sore losers. I like a lot of older Yankee fans like the ones who suffered through the late 60's, early 70's and 80's. They saw a lot of great teams and appreciate their teams success because they know that the good days come to an end.

I have Erz and Spidey Bat on my side.

Victory is mine.

Victory is OURS.

That one Backstreet Boy didn't age well

They were awful. This would have been better:

No problem. I hate teams but I don't hate their fans enough to say they don't deserve to see their team win a championship.

I personally don't understand how you could hate fans or another team? Seems like a waste, it would be like me hating The Giants or The Yankees fans.

I have Erz and Spidey Bat on my side.

Victory is mine.

I have dictonaries and encyclopedias on my side. Good luck.

Damn it.

at the National Anthem singers.

It could have been worse. Wanna know who sang the anthem when I attended Game 1 in '97?

Hanson.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

They should just have Josh Groban sing it every year. I never get tired of hearing him sing it.

Where is your avatar and signature?

Where is your avatar and signature?

I'm thinking about getting a new avatar. I just don't know what I want yet. I really don't have anything to put in my sig at the moment.

 

[Bunker]

I hate watching it on Fox, the screen quality is garbage.

 

[Dark Donnie]

Terrible call by Steve Smith....why would you test Upton's arm?

Who was it this time?

Be creative!

Looks fine to me in HD.

Howard having a great game

 

[Dark Donnie]

What a win! Hamels pitched a great game, got out of alot of jams. Utley got us on the board early. Howard is in one hell of a slump again hopefully he turns that around. Madson and Lidge were lights out in the 8th and 9th. Onto game 2.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

Phillies stole home field advantage now. I'm a little concerned on how Moyer and Blanton will pitch in games 3/4. But it was very important to take game one.

Moyer scares me as well, but I think he can turn it around. He was great down the stretch just struggled his last few starts.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

He's really gotten back on track...I think he's in the top 2 or 3 in the league now. That slider is un-hittable.

Other than Saito, Wood, and Cordero, there are no good closers in the NL. 9 teams in the NL changed their closer during the year either from injury or failure.

 

[The Riddler]

hamels has been absolutely terrific in the postseason.

Steve Smith

Phillies third base coach.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

talk about a game of missed opportunities. WAY too many men left on base for both sides last night. Phillies were fortunate that the Rays were just as inept with men on base because the Phils left a lot of guys on in scoring position, and testing Upton's arm on a fly ball to short centerfield was an awfully dumb move.

 

[Raiden]

I don't think Rays will lose this series, even though they lost the first game. However, like the series against BoSox they will have to figure out what's wrong and correct them fast, and if they lose Game 2 then it's a wrap for Phillies.

Moyer scares me as well, but I think he can turn it around. He was great down the stretch just struggled his last few starts.

It is a written law that you must reffer to him as "43 Year Old Jaime Moyer".

Bud Selig will be at your house this evening with the MLB Swat Team to take you to the cooler.
