World Series Game 5 Discussion

[phightinphils]

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?

I am feeling I under estimated the Phillies

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.

Yes because I THINK randy Johnson had it before

Dolf Luque, age 43, 1933, actually

Yup. Moyer got a no decision. Almost though. See him next year.

Yup. Moyer got a no decision.

Yeah, so he did.

[phightinphils]

Yeah, so he did.

You mean you were wrong? It is going to snow in Arizona!

I'm going tonight! Here's to a world series in Philly for the first time in 28 years!

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

Baseball does that....often.

[rockiesfan4ever]

It's a must win game for the Rays
