Charlie Manuel Watch Thread - 2010 Edition

Phillies have by far, the best starting three of the teams in the playoffs.

Well its the Reds. Game 1 Wed at 5:07pm and Game 2 Fri at 6:07pm.

Well its the Reds. Game 1 Wed at 5:07pm and Game 2 Fri at 6:07pm.

Who comes up with these times? At least those are good times for kids to watch the games, unlike the World Series games that don't start until quarter to nine. 5pm should also be late enough to move the shadows past the mound. Those 3:30 games the past couple of years were dreadful in that regard. With starting pitchers as good as we have, I'd prefer a good hitting environment for our guys to get the early lead.

GO PHILS!!!

[bluehenbillk]

Halladay has waited his whole career for tonight, betcha he pitches lights out!!!!

[Ivytalk]

Phils better not take the Reds lightly. That is all.

What's your problem with the times? You afraid you'll have to tape Judge Judy?

[GannonFan]

Polanco out of the lineup with a bad back. Suck.

[93henfan]

Love the aggressiveness already with Victorino stealing third.

[93henfan]

Sorry for the double post. Damn back button on my droid. Anyway, great situational batting by Uts, as usual, gets Victo across in the first.

Phils strike first.

[93henfan]

Doc flashes the bat!

[93henfan]

Yeah, sit down Votto, you mid-delivery timeout-calling chump.

[GannonFan]

Well, that's a good start to the series. Two more wins and we're on to the next round. The odds of the Reds beating Halladay, Oswalt, and Hamels in 3 out of 4 games are pretty daunting.

[blukeys]

Halladay has waited his whole career for tonight, betcha he pitches lights out!!!!

Yeah the guy was Ok. What's the deal of walking the Cinncy guy???

I'll give him some props for the ribbie but he really has got to work on that whole contol thing. I mean he faced 28 batters.

[bluehenbillk]

10 more wins

[93henfan]

Well, that was easy.

[bluehenbillk]

Scott Rolen not showing up....priceless

[GannonFan]

8 more wins until the parade.

[Ivytalk]

Phils- Giants NLCS coming up! Probably will be about 10 total runs scored in the series. I like Phils in 6.

[89Hen]

Braves collapsing last night means Halladay vs Lincecum on Saturday. If that series went 5 I'm guessing Lincecum would have gone in Game 5.

[GannonFan]

The Giants are certainly harder than the Braves, but I still like the Phils to pull thisout. Just too much moxy on the Phils team. Might actually win this in 5.

BOOM! There it is. A GannonFan moxie sighting! The first of the postseason.
