World Series Game 5 Discussion
Well, the series is 3-1, Phillies.
With Hamels and Kazmir pitching it should be a real good game.
Howard was a sleeping dog, but someone woke him up in game 3. He exploded in game 4. Expect more of the same tonight!
Pena & Longoria are NON-factors in the series so far.
What is everyone elses feelings on tonight's game?
Re: World Series Game 5 Discussion
I am feeling I under estimated the Phillies :p
Granted the Rays have NOT played like they did all year but still... WOW.
The one mistake I think the Phillies made was not starting Hamels last night. I KNOW Blanton did fine but if for some reason it goes to 7 games which it still might... Hamels would not start. That to me is unfortunate

He'd have been going on short rest. It wasn't a must-win game, so it would've been pretty silly to risk using a less effective Hamels.

Agreed. I underestimated the Phillies too. I knew they had the bats, but the pitching is becoming super impressive. What is the record for the oldest pitcher to win a WS game?

I'm 95% sure it's now Moyer.

I am feeling almost all of us here at these forums are about to be proved wrong, and Philly will win
