Phillies ace joins Larsen as only pitcher to toss no-no in postseason
The Reds led the NL in average (.272), homers (180 and runs (790). But they couldn't do anything against Halladay, who won 21 games and is a strong candidate to win his second Cy Young Award.

I'm still going to root for the Reds, even though I suspect the Giants will defeat the Phillies in the NLCS.

And I suspect you are a delusional Pirate fan.:-POriginally Posted by W3WN
The Giants barely beat out San Diego for the NL West championship; if the Padres hadn't flopped over the last six weeks of the season, San Francisco wouldn't even be in the playoffs. Assuming that they manage to get by Atlanta, which I wouldn't bet on, the Phillies will wipe the floor with with the them. This comes from someone who grew up as a Giants fan and who would like to see them in the World Series, but doesn't expect it.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
No need for name calling. Especially not when you consider that convicted felon QB'ing the Eagles right now.
Besides, we've been over this before. I may live here now, and root for the Pirates to keep peace in the house, but they are at best my #2 team.
And the Yankees will cream the Phillies... presuming that the Giants don't knock off the Phillies first.

Now now, no need to get testy, I was just teasing. Besides , the low life dog killer is hurt.
BTW, All the pieces are in place, I think we are going to win it all.
Do you honestly think the the Yankees or anyone else can match our 3 starting pitchers? The only thing that can stop the Phils are injury problems, or one of those team batting slumps they get in from time to time.
He is? Really? Aw.
Even the best pitchers give up hits and runs. Even the best teams go into hitting slumps. And in a short series, anything can happen.
I understand the Giants have left Barry Zito off the NLDS roster. That says something about their confidence level.
My prediction is the Yankees take the Giants in 6 in the Series. But I've been known to be wrong.

And I'm just the guy to remind you if you are.
I stopped rooting for the Red's about the 8th inning. Watching a true master at his craft is a privilege I don't take lightly. Now go Red's. Comparing him to Don Larsen would be an insult. Larsen pitched that record breaking game, he was lackluster as a big league pitcher otherwise. This guy is in the same class as John Smiley, Glavin, Smoltz, Nolan Ryan, to name a few.

It doesn't get much easier. After Halladay you have Oswalt and Hamels to deal with. I just hope Cole doesn't get mental on us again if he gets a couple of bad calls.
