Open Game Thread: NLCS: Dodgers vs. Phillies (Game 1)

I hate to say this, but I still haven't forgiven the LA Dodgers for the 1988 World Series, and I probably never will. Even with the amusements of Manny Ramirez and the "what might have beens" of Andre Ethier, I'm not exactly throwing on the powder blues and planning for a night out at Chavez Ravine. But the Dodgers went from being a forgotten team in a horrible division prior to the All-Star Break to a high-octane contender, powered by Manny and his amazing dreadlocks. Now, they're assumed to have the momentum, despite having finished the '08 regular season with a record eight games worse than the Phillies.
As for the Phils, they come from a franchise that had a great 1980, and ... well, that's almost it. A Joe Carter home run doomed their last memorable playoff appearance, and you better believe Bud Selig is praying they don't make it to the Big Show this year, eliminating LA as a media market. But not us. We're hoping Joe Blanton and company get their shot (against the Rays, of course). Game 1 is in the hands of Cole Hamels, who will be facing off against Derek Lowe, who I don't recall being all that fond of during his time at Fenway. Game time is 5:22 Pacific.

Yay! Go Dodgers!!
I think this series will have the most variety of who is rooting for whom on AN haha

ugh, Fox showed the Gibson HR YET AGAIN
sorry, no rooting for Derek Lowe for this A’s fan

It was the last time the Dodgers won a playoff series (before this year). Obviously they’re going to show it.

So your argument is that we should root for the Dodgers
so that they stop showing that clip in the future? :-)

But a Dodgers win will piss off Giants fans more. What’s an A’s fan to do?
by A'sian on Oct 9, 2008 5:21 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Here's a thought...
Let’s think of it like college. An LA win helps their recruiting of players who want to be in California. A loss gives the A’s better chances. :-)

Hamels isn’t looking too good at the moment, but of course it is only the 1st inning. According to Fox this is the biggest game of his life, so obviously he’s just got them jitters.

I’m thinking this is probably going to be the Dodgers best opportunity for a big inning while Hamels is pitching.

manny shoves traveling secretary and “shortly thereafter” the red sox trade him?
i thought it was well after that incident. either way, the shoving incident had nothing to do with why the red sox traded manny, so joe buck mentioning them together like that is a bit deceptive.

here’s a blurb about it I just found on mlb.com…
Most likely, Game 4 will be started by Lowe on three days’ rest. The way the series is scheduled, Lowe would pitch Game 1 on eight days’ rest and Game 4 on three days’ rest, but get his regular four days’ rest before pitching Game 7, if necessary.
Torre said the other candidates to start Game 4 are 20-year-old Clayton Kershaw and 42-year-old Greg Maddux, the latter seeming the least likely because Torre was so pleased with his versatility and resiliency coming out of the bullpen in Game 1 in Chicago.
“Greg gives us a great deal of variety because he can start, he can warm up quickly in the bullpen and he wills himself to do whatever we want him to do,” said Torre.

Like I've been saying for the past 5 minutes.
Go Phils. Disregard the other comments where I may have stated otherwise.

nice game Phillies, I enjoyed it
especially after the slop in Cubs-Dodgers and especially Slegna-Sux

Someone has to lose,
and losing almost always follows a mistake.

A's fans should root for the Phillies
The A’s used to be in Philly…
And they have won 3 more World Series in Oakland than the Phillies have in their entire history
It should be a “thanks for the gift” rooting situation

don't forget the 1988 world series, firing depodesta after only two years...
otoh, the two teams that most hate the dodgers are the giants and angels, so really it’s a win-win.
A's v Giants "is kind of like the difference between going to see the Ramones and going to see the Bee Gees. A's fans will go see the Ramones." -BB 07/27/05

That's some 20-year grudge you got goin'.
{Nods knowingly}
In my A’s-World Series post, I will touch on his homerun further. I still say it’s my dad’s fault.
I'm here to talk about the past.
