I guess I get where people compare the two runs, but its clear which one is more impressive. 7 teams have to lose every year in the post season. Id rather be in that position than the other 24 that didn’t make it.
…and I realize the Phillies “run” isn’t over…but really it is.

not a collapse by any stretch, but the things Manuel does like saying he is going to stick Hamels in for a couple of innings to get a win on the last day, or using Oswalt and Halladay in the last two games instead of Halladay and Lee makes it easier to pile on. A lot of his stuff just comes off as unwarranted cockiness to me.

I enjoyed this little Q&A session,but a few things still puzzle me.Why so much talk about Heyward,what about Chipper’s lake of being able to go to his left and right on balls hit to third,why Mac slumped two years in a row after all-star game,will Chipper give the Braves some money back so we can get a quality OF,or allow The Braves to sign our CF long term.We should really keep him and give Prado some MONEY.If you pay him,maybe he won’t mind being super sub for you like Infante was and he fulfils the job that Conrad does and allow The Braves to also get a big bat in LF.I really don’t know what to do with Lowe and JJ and Hanson.I still hope they keep those two young pitchers and sign them to medium length deals since they can’t ask for much because they have been hurt.Give Alex a one year deal and hope the young man in AAA is about ready.My main hope is Wren and Heyward’s people get together and come to a understanding about how to besr help this young man become all he can be.Heyt,let him spend some time with THEW HAMMER.And last but most important I hope Freddie manages this Team his way and to heck with Bobby Cox and I hopes he tells Chipper to shut his mouth and let him manage.GO BRAVES

Doc of course you could sense the tension. Its the playoffs. and the reason you felt lucky the Braves scored was because they didn’t for a month. They aren’t far away from being one of those teams you are talking about with one more solid outfielder (or the reappearance of Heyward). I dont see a pitching staff left in the playoffs better than the Braves now that the Phillies are gone.

Morning David. What a birthday present! The arrogant Fillies get sent to the showers. The dream team morphed into a nightmare! I could have had no finer birthday gift. Guess all pro athletes in Philly fake injuries when they are choking ala Michael Sick. Man did I get tired of that old routine! Wrote following elsewhere hours ago. Thanks Cardinals. Bless all of ya. So…As an Atlanta Brave follower I savored every second of the Fillie home choke. Every second! Team that could not lose lost. At home no less. Man I am still smiling! Do all crybaby Fillie pro athletes feign injuries like Mike Sick whenever they are not getting the job done! Sure seems like they do. No sympathy here. All of em can drop into Hades! Philly is only a burg of Detroit anyway. Man am I happy!

Well I’m never one to root for guys to be seriously injured, and Ryan Howard actually seems like a genuinely good dude. But I’m gonna be honest. It’s not going to hurt my feelings if his achillies heel is torn and he’s on the shelf for the 6-9 months that that injury would require to heal.
Then again, the Phillies dealt with Utley being out for much of the year and survived just fine. With that pitching staff, they’ll survive again, and unfortunately, they have enough money to go out and get somebody to fill in and cover while he’s out and then simply put them to the bench when he returns.
The guys on ESPN had an interesting question about his injury. What if it would have been a “base hit”? And to take it one step further, what if there would have been a runner on and he would have ripped a ball to the wall?
Then again, had there been a runner on, there would have only been one out, so it wouldn’t have mattered had he get thrown out at 1B.
But how’s this for irony and how cruel the baseball gods are?
The ONLY reason Howard was up was because Molina couldn’t find the ball on that strikeout in the 8th inning? Had he thrown him out at 1B, Howard likely doesn’t bat in the 9th.
Strange.

So am I to rejoice at the misery of the PHILLIES and RYAN HOWARD. Really I cannot. The only thing that impresses me is the fact that the BRAVES are not in the post-season mix, but the shake-down cruise is over. The ship of state that is the BRAVES team is now in home port having repairs to the malfunctions of the past. One malfunction has been removed. The replacement is critical.
The only rejoicing that can be had by myself is the knowledge that the PHILLIES fan’s who posted here over the year got just what they deserved……..defeat in spades.

I just think that it is really funny that the Phillies played so hard (13 innings and 4 starters the entire game) to beat the Braves in game 162, instead of forcing a 1 game playoff to force the Cardinals to use another pitcher at least before playing them if the Cards would have won.

I can’t believe Nyjer Morgan got the GD game winning hit against the Diamondbacks.
That was awful. I can’t think of anyone in the game of baseball currently less deserving of the kind of adulation and attention someone would get for doing that.
I mean, Ryan Braun? Why not Mark Kotsay? Just somebody. Somebody other than that walking behavioral disorder. Just an absolutely terrible, unpleasant human being.
Would have been so much better if the Diamondbacks had won. They should have. That was disappointing.
I can’t wait to see Chris Carpenter and Albert Pujols and company mow those guys down.

Walking behavioral disorder… That was pretty funny.
I totally respected what the Phillies accomplished this year just as a baseball fan and really thought they would win the World Series. Let’s face it, they played regulars game 162 but played a JV squad the last 8 innings. Braves win that game and the Phils still probably see the Cardinals to start the series. Carpenter was the key though. He pitches the tiebreaker game against the Braves and obviously not game 5 of NLDS. Phil fans not happy with the Braves this morning. That team out East is still good but major question marks next season. Looking forward to Braves in 2012 and 2013. I like JS calling them out in the letter to the fans and FW will get this job done.

Bet the Phillies wish they had lost one to the Braves in the final series. At least that would have made the Cards play one more before the playoffs started. If they had dumped two, they would have played Arizona and cruised.

Didn’t think of it much at the time, but I really like Schuerholz came out with some strong words to the fanbase. Flip side is that he knows from a marketing aspect that next season could be challenging. I really hope there is conviction behind what he stated and they go for it next season. Definitely nothing this organization has done in the past though, and hopefully accountability from the front office to the players on the field will be scrutinized from day one.

richbrave – Responded every time. Nope, just the first one.
I don’t have any idea what the problem is because I don’t block any email (at least not intentionally and I get tons of junk). Maybe if you had the kids email it to you and you forward it?

The news got extremely worse for the Phillies just before the last out. It looks like Ryan Howard has torn his achilles tendon. What a way to start that disaster of a contract for the Phils. 5 years @ $25 per and he’s probably going to start it on the DL.

Yeah the Phillies have to have one of the oldest rosters in baseball. There window for a championship is closing. Alot of money invested into players over 32 years old.

Cliff Lee: $25 million per year for a playoff choke artist.
Ryan Howard: $25 million per year for a playoff choke artist.
$20: For a beer and a greasy meat sandwich smothered in Velveeta.
Watching the Pholding Phils get shut out at Citizen’s Park in front of their lame fans: Priceless!
