Well, my Fighten Phils don’t look like they’re putting up much of a fight. Besides some offensive sparks from J Roll, Rowand and Howard, the rest of the team looks to be shell shocked. It was a gamble going in to the post season with the pitching staff that we have. I was hoping that the bullpens end of the season successes would carry over but it looks like the bullpen of old is back on track. Perfect timing fellas.

It is a five game series and 3 games in a row is not entirely unrealistic. I expect the Phils to shake of their nerves as they move away from the pressures of their home town. For some it may seem that playing at home would be to your advantage but in a town like Philly where we’re craving a trophy after hitting an all time high of 24 years without a single championship from any of the major sport teams, then you might be tooting a different whistle. I’m predicting that Moyer keeps us in the game until the sixth inning. He’ll let two guys on base with two outs and they’ll bring in J.C. Romero who will get us out of the jam. Our offense will come alive and Alfonseca and Meyer will pull off a save for the first win of the series.

As for the other series, the Indians looked dominant last night. Of course, their ace was on the mound so we’ll how things shape up as the Brooklyn bats will most certainly come alive in the next game. Poor Cubies, poor poor Cubies. And while the Sox won 3-0, they’re going to need some more offense to stay on track. While I don’t doubt their pitching can single handedly win the games for them, i.e. Beckett in game 1, it’s unrealistic to think they’ll keep the Angles bats quiet for all the games. And 3 runs may not be enough insurance. I predict a Sox – Cleveland ALCS. As for the NLCS, you know I can’t count my boys out no matter how much their down by so I say Phils – D-backs.

So off to a nice long weekend.

You didn’t think I would leave you be without a song to sing. The Electric Six have a song for you from their upcoming album, I Shall Exterminate Everything Around Me That Restricts Me From Being The Master (Releases on October 9th). The Song is called, “Down at McDonnelzz”. Hilarious titles. Sure beats their last album…Switzerland? Boring. Download this track below and go to Metropolis-records.com to pre-order album and to pick up another mp3.
