I.S.T. - Cards & Phils -- NLDS 2011

Frayed Knot Oct 01 2011 02:53 PM

GAME 1: The Cards -- 16-5 down the stretch (even including a certain four-run blown 9th inning lead) and without Carpenter for the first few games after they needed him for game #162 -- throw Kyle Lohse (14-8, 3.39) up against the tan, rested, and ready Roy Halladay.

One glance at the CBP masses and I'm rapidly rooting for a meteor.

bmfc1 Oct 01 2011 03:09 PM Re: I.S.T. - Cards & Phils -- NLDS 2011

Are any of those 7 still rooting for the MFPs? http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/mets/p ... sses-reyes

Gwreck Oct 01 2011 03:16 PM Re: I.S.T. - Cards & Phils -- NLDS 2011

Berkman with a 3 run homer in the 1st inning off Halladay starts things off right.

As if Jimmy Rollins would ever be close to a batting title.

Did most of his hits come 'off' the field? ha. hope everyone enjoyed Phillies last win of the season.

[u:n6iolc5r]GAME 2[/u:n6iolc5r] -- Lee gives up a lead-off triple to Furcal but then gets out of it untainted (K, Pop-out [Albert], and GO) Now, in the bottom of the 1st, Carpenter on short rest is getting his butt kicked. Three runs in and they're not finished yet.

Gwreck Oct 02 2011 07:59 PM Re: I.S.T. - Cards & Phils -- NLDS 2011

Carpenter was lifted for a pinch hitter in the 4th. Cardinals got 3 that inning but the third out was at the plate so they're still down 1, 4-3.

give Petco a big finger for me too, for having a stupid name. if the Phils were on radio last nite I couldn't find it as 1050 covered the Jets. I wound up instead with Steve's Underground Garage, it was great, and helped me set a new record on my running course. I am also on the road now, at a stopover in OHare en route to Indianapolis tonite. Am gonna try to find a bar showing MFYs_Tigers but Colts on MNF. Doh

I'd suggest decification to the park behind center, but I'm sure it has tight survelience. Though you could quickly purchase a puppy and have it do the deed for you!

Hey Tony, Nice move walking Ruiz so as to get Hamels out of the game. Just shit luck that it led to a 3R HR by the PH instead.

I did pick the Phillies to get bounced by the Brewers anyway, but was pulling for Louis here. Still hopeful.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Oct 04 2011 06:42 PM Re: I.S.T. - Cards & Phils -- NLDS 2011

Cards brought the tying or go-ahead run to the plate about 10 times in the last few innings, seemed like, they had their chances.

Good pitcher's duel with Cardinals up 1-0 after 6. Furball triple in the first led to the only run.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Oct 07 2011 09:15 PM Re: I.S.T. - Cards & Phils -- NLDS 2011

Is that the Ryan Howard whose $125M contract extension begins next year-- the one whose deal will last longer than Chase Utley is playing professional baseball?

Frayed Knot Oct 07 2011 09:25 PM Re: I.S.T. - Cards & Phils -- NLDS 2011

On the one hand MLB along with TBS/FOX can't be happy that NYC and Philly are out of the mix. On the other they got three five-game series in the first round and all three ended in one-run games.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Oct 07 2011 09:32 PM Re: I.S.T. - Cards & Phils -- NLDS 2011

After the rise of the Homer Hanky with the 1987 Twins, the 1988 response was the K Hanky, featuring Bill Gallo illustrations of Doc, Cone, Sid and Darling, handed out during the NLCS.

Howard out for the entire first half of '12 and maybe the whole season, according to Rotoworld. Damn shame.

Gwreck Oct 08 2011 09:42 PM Re: I.S.T. - Cards & Phils -- NLDS 2011

ESPN had it at 6-9 months which could be anything from April to June for a return.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Oct 08 2011 09:52 PM Re: I.S.T. - Cards & Phils -- NLDS 2011

I had my achilles broken and surgically repaired and missed 11 months of hard physical activity. Also sorta messed me up permanently, my action off that foot was never the same.

Benjamin Grimm Oct 09 2011 05:45 AM Re: I.S.T. - Cards & Phils -- NLDS 2011

And just when Howard is about to start his five-year, $125 million contact extension. That's right, Ryan Howard is going to be making $25 million per year through 2016. He'll turn 37 a month after that contract ends.

Frayed Knot Oct 09 2011 09:20 AM Re: I.S.T. - Cards & Phils -- NLDS 2011

And that kind of injury can't be good on such a large body.

Frayed Knot Oct 12 2011 07:26 PM Re: I.S.T. - Cards & Phils -- NLDS 2011

MLB.com -- Ryan Howard had surgery Wednesday morning in Baltimore to repair a completely torn Achilles tendon in his left leg. Foot and ankle specialist Mark Myerson performed the surgery and also administered a PRP injection. The Phillies said the surgery was successful, and general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said in a statement, "It's going to be five to six months from the surgery until he can play at his accustomed level."

That's assuming no "setbacks". Remember, we were originally supposed to see Johan Santana by around July 1.

metirish Oct 13 2011 07:58 AM Re: I.S.T. - Cards & Phils -- NLDS 2011

I guess one worry going forward for him when he gets back is the pressure exerted from swinging the bat?, as Phillies go I like Howard , seems like a decent sort, all the best to him.
