Well, I'm glad you found the time to get on here and make my trolling efforts worthwhile.

So let me get this straight, GATW: while you were "trolling" for someone resembling your siggy, you landed GF!?

And if the Phils win tonight it doesn't get much easier for the Giants either, especially since the Phils won't have to beat Lincecum in order to win the series.
Tonight is a must win for the Phils, but the Giants really need it too.

Uncle Chuck has already said Blanton will start game 4 and reiterated that last night after the game. Starting Halladay and Oswalt on short rest is not so much a concern as having to start Hamels again on short rest in game 6, something he's never done.
Gotta keep our fingers crossed with Blanton tonight. If he can get it done, we're set up real nice for the final three games. Lose and.. ...well, I don't want to talk about that.
Bats just need to come to life tonight, and I think they will. Yesterday may have been Utley's worst game ever as a Philly, and I know he doesn't like being a clown. I expect Uts to destroy the ball tonight.
Here's a stat for you: The last time a pitcher won a post season game with as much rest as Blanton has had was 1939. Since then 15 pitchers have tried, they are a combined 0-11 with an ERA over 7. I like Hamels on short rest more than I like Blanton on long rest.

I see you were listening to WIP today too.
So the law of averages says Blanton is a sure win tonight.

Lincecum and Cain and pray for rain.
Historically Cain has not pitched well in Phila. On the other hand, Sanchez pitched well in game 2. Like the Phillies, the Giants have 3 good starters. I still think the Phils can come back and win the series, but the Giants were the team that I thought would cause the most problems.

I think I heard it on the Fanatic, Jason Stark was on the Mike Missanelli show this afternoon.

It was quoted by a caller on WIP around 11:45am. I was headed to pick up my youngest from half-day preschool. Reception for the Fanatic is hit-or-miss down here on AM and out of range on FM. How do you like that station?

In the morning I split my time pretty evenly between it and WIP. It depends on what they are talking about. I prefer the WIP morning show, but sometimes they get away from sports. The Fanatic has the Mike and Mike show on in the morning, I like them but they aren't Philly specific. I find that juggling the two stations in the morning gets me a pretty good mix of national and local sports.
In the afternoon I listen to Mike Missanelli on the Fanatic. WIP has Howard Eskin on in the afternoons and I can't stand him. I have also always liked Missanelli, I'm glad he's back on the air.

Another thing I heard on the radio today:
When the Phillies are batting and the count reaches a point where the pitcher usually throws a fastball, the Giant pitchers are not throwing fastballs, but the Phillies continue to swing fastball.
The #1 fans in the nation, also known as Philadelphia fans, are trembling as San Franny scores to make it 2-0. Where is Michael Irvin when you need someone to boo.
