Whew. That was pretty exciting, wasn’t it? I’m still recovering (mentally and physically) from Monday night’s 5-4 comeback win over the Rockies, a victory that sent the Phillies into the NLCS for the second straight year. It’s amazing, really: The Phillies, who have spent most of my life being an absolutely horrid team — my grandfather used to tell that old joke about how they’re the strongest team in the National League, because they’re always holding everyone else up at the bottom — are now in the NLCS! Again! I’m still trying to wrap my head around this.
And, of course, it’s time for a prediction. The obvious answer here is Phillies in 5, because I can’t make lame jokes about how these games are going to finish for more than five games. (For the record, before the postseason I picked the Phillies in 6.)
Game 1
This is the one the Phillies are going to lose, unfortunately. Cole Hamels, who will drive out to the mound on his Camaro, will celebrate his return to the NLCS by giving up a home run to some crappy player, as he seems to have done all season. Let’s say Dodgers, 6-3. The New York Times’s game recap will mention how we are one step closer to the first ever performance-enhancing drug free World Series. Larry Bowa celebrates the NLCS Game 1 win by calling a reporter over to a side room and sucker-punching him as he enters (this actually happened, when Bowa was a Phillies SS).
Game 2
The Phillies fight back with… oh, let’s say, Pedro Martinez on the mound. After giving up a first-inning three-run homer, Martinez shuts down the Dodgers and the Phillies rally for a 7-4 victory. After Jimmy Rollins hits the go-ahead homer, Shane Victorino celebrates by saying, “Fuck yeah, mofos! I’m gonna be celebrating this crazy fuckin’ win all night!” TBS plays the video three times.
Game 3
The series returns to Philadelphia and Cliff Lee tosses a complete-game shutout and a 4-0 win for the Phillies. TBS’s Chip Caray announces postgame that the Dodgers have taken a 3-0 series lead with their incredible 15-12 victory tonight, thanks to four homers by Jackie Robinson. The Phillies’ newest fan club, the Lee Pack, celebrates.
Game 4
The Phillies coast in this one, 10-5; in other good news for those of us watching at home, George Lopez’s late night talk show is canceled before it begins and the avocado goes extinct.
Game 5
What else? The Phillies win this one, 7-5, on a 2-run homer by Matt Stairs in the bottom of the eighth. Brad Lidge closes out the game and celebrates by calling Rob Neyer into a side room offering him out for continuing to harp on how bad he was all season. (That’s the job of Phillies’ fans!) The Phillies’ new newest fan club, the Hamels Flotilla, celebrates. The Times laments that noted drug-free player Manny Ramirez will not make the World Series; ESPN attempts to hold its own alternate Series after the Yankees are, too, eliminated by a walkoff walk by Bobby Abreu (ALCS stats: 0-0, 20 BBs).
These predictions accurate or your money back. Let’s go Phils!
Each day(-ish) during the postseason, Dan McQuade will write about the Phillies’ chance at a second straight World Series title. You can usually read his thoughts on baseball at Walkoff Walk. He posted part of this as a draft, accidentally, with only about half of it done, at first. He thinks it was funnier then.

Prediction: http://i36.tinypic.com/kw2l3.jpg
October 15th, 2009 at 2:46 pm
Oh, man, that’s excellent. And much more plausible than my prediction.
October 15th, 2009 at 2:49 pm
Is it 8:00 yet?
October 15th, 2009 at 2:50 pm
I lol’ed IRL at least 4 times going through that. Thanks bro.
October 15th, 2009 at 2:53 pm
Is it
8:008:07 yet?/TBS’d
October 15th, 2009 at 2:55 pm
Yankees are eliminated by a walkoff walk by Bobby Abreu
Cue the mother effin shrimp!
October 15th, 2009 at 2:55 pm
the phils have owned kershaw in his brief career. i say we continue to own him and take game one.
October 15th, 2009 at 3:01 pm
how incredible would it be if both the yanks and dodgers are eliminated(knock on wood).
besides 30 minute long puff pieces on that angels player what died in the beginning of the season, ESPN might do some actual reporting.
might. who am i kidding. they’ll just up the coverage to preseason basketball.
October 15th, 2009 at 3:01 pm
I almost died reading the game four prediction about George Lopez and the Avacado… sounds like a fable the way I put it there… bobby abreu’s stat line is pretty good too, would it be good enough for an ALCS MVP nod?
i see phillies in 6, mostly so we can rub it in the Dodger’s fans’ faces by winning on their turf again.
October 15th, 2009 at 3:02 pm
PHILLIES IN 5!!!!!!! WOOT WOOOT WOOOOT! FUCK LA!!!!
October 15th, 2009 at 3:08 pm
If a woman ever left me at the alter to go watch George Lopez, you can hang me, then you can kill me…wait a minute, I take that back, good riddance you C!
I guess the kids show on Nik about him being a camp counselor wasn’t working out, what a maroon…
October 15th, 2009 at 3:09 pm
Oh yeah, Philthies in 5…how schweet it is.
October 15th, 2009 at 3:16 pm
Is it 8:00 8:07 yet?
/TBS’d
I’ll stand by my 8:00 even if I can’t do spiffy italics, strikethroughs, and boldface. I do not recognize TBS’ concept of time.
October 15th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
im actually tunning in at 8:00 as well. im really intersted in what chip carey has to say
October 15th, 2009 at 3:20 pm
Phlyan, that is some excellent shit there. I too lol’d IRL.
I had a really good feeling about tonight. I hope you’re wrong dmac, I really do. I’m not sure I can deal with an L tonight. I really hope Cole doesn’t pitch like a bitch tonight. He owes us after his last performance.
October 15th, 2009 at 3:21 pm
Did you guys know the Dodgers bullpen built an entire city out of popcorn and matchsticks?
They are OUTSTANDING!!!
/Gruden’d
October 15th, 2009 at 3:21 pm
pre game actually starts at 7:30….you have to sit through both teams introductions…
October 15th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
Add this to Game 5 predictions:
“Game 5: Ugueth Urbina is released by Venezuelan authorities just in time for Ugy to attend the post-game 5 World Series victory celebration mayhem at Frankford & Cottman. Ugy is later arrested and charged with arson, destruction of public property, attempting to injure a police horse with a machete, and also attempt to pour gasoline on the police horse and set it on fire.”
October 15th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
Seriously though, hoping avacados go extinct? That’s bush league buddy.
Who puts fucking avacados on BURGERS anyway?
October 15th, 2009 at 3:29 pm
Tony, I do NOT do that, but it sounds good.
October 15th, 2009 at 3:30 pm
Also, I refuse to make any predictions, but don’t mind reading everyone else’s. dmac, I really hope you’re wrong about tonight.
October 15th, 2009 at 3:46 pm
Also you will all be shocked shocked shocked to know that tonight’s home plate umpire has a really tight and very inconsistent strike zone!! Check this bullshit out: http://tinyurl.com/yf8t6dx
This is going to be painful.
October 15th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
@Phylan, that is awesome. Can anything be as bad as what we saw from Meals?
October 15th, 2009 at 3:52 pm
Don’t like your candor about that first game…still, not poorly thought out. Still, you couldn’t have done more with the Lee pack thing?; like say, “Lee’s Bees,” or some other campy line?
October 15th, 2009 at 3:53 pm
Phylan, those charts have to be at least a little inaccurate. There are red dots on balls two feet outside and a foot off the plate. Maybe some of those are check swings?
October 15th, 2009 at 3:55 pm
They have to be breaking pitches which he evidently, thought caught the plate.
October 15th, 2009 at 4:03 pm
cb bucknor is still the worst umpire in baseball. id love to see his little dotties
October 15th, 2009 at 4:16 pm
Wow, that chart is SICK.
WillH: Don’t understand how he gets playoff games.
October 15th, 2009 at 4:40 pm
phils in 5
October 15th, 2009 at 4:45 pm
Believe it or not the ridiculous outlying red dots are called strikes that he somehow thought caught the plate. Like bigmyc said they’re more than likely breaking pitches, which a lot of umpires are just plain bad at reading (sup CB)
October 15th, 2009 at 5:09 pm
lol, on Around the Horn(which is awful if you want to hear anything intelligent anyway) Plashke, who works for the LA Times, his first point for the Dodgers winning the series was the Phillies havent hit a HR off Kershaw all year…at least Reali called him out for it. Then Woody Paige backs him up because he covers them, “not that other team”
October 15th, 2009 at 5:46 pm
By the way I won the second chance lottery for game 3 standing room only tickets, ballin
October 15th, 2009 at 5:54 pm
if the dodgers even dream they can beat the phillies they better wake up and apologize
October 15th, 2009 at 6:19 pm
Live game blog? We are 3-0 with one, 0-1 without it
October 15th, 2009 at 6:20 pm
No matter where I go for any coverage of this series, the talk is about this Dodgers bullpen, and how its why they will win. It’s laughable. Let’s just avoid every other aspect of this mediocre team, shall we?
October 15th, 2009 at 6:43 pm
If Pete Happy and Chooch can get some big knocks against Kershaw this game should be ours. I think its the difference tonight.
October 15th, 2009 at 6:48 pm
Eric Bruntlett will be the key to this series. You’ll see! You’ll all see! (Digresses into hysterical laughter and frenzied mumbling).
October 15th, 2009 at 7:09 pm
No live blog from me tonight. It’s exhausting.
October 15th, 2009 at 7:44 pm
Whenever anyone says
“I can’t,”
It makes me wish
he would get stung to death
by about ten thousand bees.
When he says,
“I’ll try,”
five thousand bees.
“I can,”
One bee.
October 15th, 2009 at 7:50 pm
@Gonzo: If they lose because of no live blog…
October 15th, 2009 at 7:54 pm
Zolecki said Stairs was booed by a sparse Dodger Stadium crowd
October 15th, 2009 at 7:57 pm
@Outlaw Pete,
1. I’m surprised LA fans know who Matt Stairs is.
2. I love it.
October 15th, 2009 at 8:03 pm
Franzke should get to call all 9. TMac just breaks up the flow up the game, not to mention gives me indigestion.
October 15th, 2009 at 8:06 pm
i will not take the blame for a loss. But if someone wants to run a blog so as to avoid a jinx, I am all for it.
October 15th, 2009 at 8:07 pm
Dodgers in 6. Your bullpen won’t last.
October 15th, 2009 at 8:09 pm
Relax, Gonzo. It was a joke – sorry.
October 15th, 2009 at 8:10 pm
Nah, I’m cool. I sounded dickish there. my bad.
October 15th, 2009 at 8:12 pm
OK, Shane. Get your base running blunder outta the way early.
October 15th, 2009 at 8:12 pm
No problem. Just didn’t want you taking me seriously.
October 15th, 2009 at 8:20 pm
siddown, bitch
October 15th, 2009 at 8:20 pm
^^ directed towards manny
October 15th, 2009 at 8:25 pm
Tbs is starting early on the blowjobs today. It’s the first inning and they’re already fellatating the dodgers. It’s gonna be a long night
October 15th, 2009 at 8:26 pm
yeah i especially like them calling ethier “mr walkoff”. that shit pisses me off
October 15th, 2009 at 8:29 pm
Tell me about it, Mand. I came back from grocery shopping but I had left the game on. The way they were talking with one man on, two out in the bottom of the first led me to believe Cole had already given up at least one run. Fuck these guys. TV’s already muted.
October 15th, 2009 at 8:32 pm
My favorite was that the dodgers don’t have to worry about making the second out cuz everyone on that team picks everyone else up.
October 15th, 2009 at 8:34 pm
can’t forget about kershaw being compared to koufax
October 15th, 2009 at 8:37 pm
Is this the dodgers home broadcast crew? If i didn’t know better i might think so.
October 15th, 2009 at 8:44 pm
Attention Rockies/ Rockies “fans” – THAT is how you field a dribbler up the first base line. You don’t bitch about how the ball might have hit the batter, you make the damn play
October 15th, 2009 at 8:49 pm
So TMac was on The Price Is Right yesterday? Or are Franzke and LA just mocking him?
October 15th, 2009 at 9:08 pm
Why can’t I find a liveblog?
October 15th, 2009 at 9:24 pm

Big brown does it again!!! I’m likin this business
October 15th, 2009 at 9:43 pm
dl i was thinking that when he stepped up to the plate. Big hit.
October 15th, 2009 at 9:44 pm
We def need a get me to the plate boys tshirt in the store
October 15th, 2009 at 9:48 pm
Pete, i’m over at WoW. Check the directory on the right. MaxL is there and a couple of others sparingly.
October 15th, 2009 at 9:49 pm
When can a guy get a “Señor Octubre” tshirt?
October 15th, 2009 at 9:53 pm
Can we get a Howard / ups shirt? “what can brown do for you?”
October 15th, 2009 at 10:02 pm
Hamels, how can you sleep at night?
October 15th, 2009 at 10:05 pm
Did that guy just break his glasses?
October 15th, 2009 at 10:08 pm
The announcing is so fucking bias. Did anyone else hear the fucking STATIC when Chip Carray was jerking it to Manny?
October 15th, 2009 at 10:09 pm
Hamels is garbage. Garbage I say.
October 15th, 2009 at 10:14 pm
I want Franzke back now.
October 15th, 2009 at 10:14 pm
Seriously–MAJOR static! And how many times did he say that Manny (or any other Dodger) was “ready to launch!”???
So glad that infamous Dodgers ‘pen is in…so we can now all fellate them.
October 15th, 2009 at 10:16 pm
Cole you need a dp here
October 15th, 2009 at 10:21 pm
Blowhard.
October 15th, 2009 at 10:24 pm
How about all that lightning strikes again bullshit when manny hit that?
October 15th, 2009 at 10:29 pm
Yeah, it’s amazing these guys have enough time to announce when they have dildos in their mouths with Dodgers players’ names written on them 99% of the day.
October 15th, 2009 at 10:29 pm
The other 1%… well, you can imagine.
October 15th, 2009 at 10:36 pm
I love you j.a. Happ….
October 15th, 2009 at 10:49 pm
I think that Reilly actually has no idea what’s going on back there….he hasn’t called shit on the corners all day and he calls that strike to Utley against Kuo. How are our lefties supposed to have good at bats against a great pitcher when he gets those pitches. If you give Cole those pitches its probably still 5-1
October 15th, 2009 at 10:53 pm
I just got back from work, and just saw the fucking arrogant strut that Manny did after his shot. Fuck Manny, and anyone who roots for his Juicing ass. I officially hate Manny more than anyone else on the planet.
October 15th, 2009 at 10:54 pm
Hey Charlie just about everyone could’ve told you Bastardo was a terrible idea there, good going man
October 15th, 2009 at 10:55 pm
Bastardo? Stupid idea sending him in there….
October 15th, 2009 at 10:55 pm
Going to vomit.
October 15th, 2009 at 10:56 pm
Randy Marsh is the home plate umpire tonight. it’s still bad.
http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/boxscore?gid=291015119
October 15th, 2009 at 10:57 pm
Not to split hairs, Miles, but it’s Randy Marsh behind the plate.
October 15th, 2009 at 10:57 pm
Damn you and your faster typing, Gonzo.
October 15th, 2009 at 11:03 pm
YEAH CHAN HO! ONE MORE!
October 15th, 2009 at 11:05 pm
At least Park is seemingly back to form. Bad swing by Kemp on 3-2 though

October 15th, 2009 at 11:20 pm
Chooch is the fucking man in the playoffs, even when he’s getting doubled off on a fly ball. Ice cream, bitch.
October 15th, 2009 at 11:22 pm
How much do you wanna bet that if we win the sports people don’t shut up about how we got 2 of our runs on homeruns
October 15th, 2009 at 11:26 pm
Can’t the end of the ‘pen ever do its job without gifting back runs?
October 15th, 2009 at 11:26 pm
c’mon now Ryan settle down
October 15th, 2009 at 11:26 pm
@Phils Phan someone I know looked at that and found that the Phillies lead the league in surrendering runs the immediate half inning after scoring runs
October 15th, 2009 at 11:27 pm
You mean 6 of our runs on homeruns?
And also, Phils pitching, please stop giving up runs in the bottom of the inning right after the offense gives you some runs. It would be much appreciated.
October 15th, 2009 at 11:27 pm
get madson the fuck out the game
October 15th, 2009 at 11:27 pm
I said it before and I’ll say it again, despite being in the slimmest minority imaginable. Madson. Eats. Balls.
October 15th, 2009 at 11:34 pm
Is Madson still thinking about Colorado? Come on, man.
October 15th, 2009 at 11:35 pm
Why is a lefty not in to face Ethier?
October 15th, 2009 at 11:36 pm
Jesus. Someone give Madson a map to the strike zone.
October 15th, 2009 at 11:38 pm
Charlie = retarded for not bringing in Eyre to face Ethier there
October 15th, 2009 at 11:38 pm
Ultimate Disrespect to play that for Manny Ramirez.
October 15th, 2009 at 11:41 pm
Phew… two run ballgame, time for the ninth.
God…
October 15th, 2009 at 11:41 pm
Too bad guys were on base…I’d REALLY like them to plunk Manny in the head for that jackass bat toss after his HR earlier.
October 15th, 2009 at 11:42 pm
@Andrew: Amen to that sentiment Sir… amen.
October 15th, 2009 at 11:43 pm
It really doesn’t bother me what players do to celebrate, as long as he doesn’t bust out a unicycle and juggle batons or something
October 15th, 2009 at 11:48 pm
@Phylan: That would be irritating, but kinda hilarious, as well.

I never thought that I would say this but T-mac seems bearable compared to Carry.
October 16th, 2009 at 12:04 am
@Tyler Walker well it KINDA was. Not totally, of course. Lidge did well to induce a grounder but that was a horrible AB by Blake
October 16th, 2009 at 12:04 am
Lidge looks confident again.
October 16th, 2009 at 12:05 am
T-Mac is Vin Scully compared to Chip Caray

COMMENT 150. EQUAL TO THE ORGINAL AMOUNT OF POKEMON.
Man, I chewed on my heart that whole game. Wear it , suck on it.
October 16th, 2009 at 12:22 am
The series is going to be like this the whole time so break out your pacemakers
October 16th, 2009 at 12:22 am
Seriously though, Chip Carray’s bias was hideous. You could hear him literally deflating with every Phillies hit. His poor, poor Braves.
(151 for Mew)
October 16th, 2009 at 12:26 am
Why don’t you guys just hit the mute button and turn up the radio? They’re synched up.
October 16th, 2009 at 12:27 am
Where’s the game recap? dont let chamo do it. he sucks.
October 16th, 2009 at 12:27 am
@LEw: seriously? I’ll remember that for tomorrow.
October 16th, 2009 at 12:29 am
haha that’s exactly what i think of bigmiles.
i don’t think i can take this for the rest of this series. it was intense.

I think I just shit my pants multiple times.
What did Lidge say to that asshat in the wanna-be HK jacket? (right after said douchenozzle slaughtered Raul’s name)

Anyone have a Franzke call of that Raul homer? I bet it was awesome.

@Gonzo, it’s good to be seen. Thankfully I’m off for tommorow’s game.

PLEASE get a post on that fuckhead who broke his glasses in joy after Manny’s (now meaningless) homer. I beg of thee.

I’d honestly rather have Vin Scully call this series, and he’s actually the Dodgers broadcaster. The TBS crew makes me sick.

Team allegiance aside, Vin Scully is a legend up there with Harry and I would love to have him calling it.
Goddamn I hate Chip Caray

Here’s something by an e-friend of mine to tide you over while you wait for the recap: http://thephrontiersman.wordpress.com/2009/10/16/nlcs-game-1-3-good-3-bad-3-else/
3 good things, 3 bad things, and 3 other things about tonight’s game. I pretty much agree with all of it.

I had to work until 10, so I watched the game on DVR for the first time. Very difficult not to give in and check the score/final. I also missed the liveblog, actually, though it didn’t happen, so I guess it doesn’t matter. Since we love to complain about TBS broadcasters, I heard one comment from them that really pissed me off. Now I have forgotten it. I will sleep on it. I am sure everyone will wait with baited breath. 7 to go!!!
