Would have preferred to see Coste, but this is fine.

Why won't Manuel put Utley in the two-spot? Does he want to make things easy for Manny Parra and Mitch Stetter?

by **LongDrive** » Sun Oct 05, 2008 11:54:46

I'd bat Burrell 4th and Howard 5th

One of life's great mysteries, esp. since Werth is 4 for 7 lifetime against Suppan. Phils had success splitting up Utley and Howard, I heard a Milt Thompson interview about it, so they're conscious of the advantages, but they just don't seem to trust doing it. The way Werth mashes LHP, it would really give Sveum a tough decision if he brought in a LHP to pitch to Utley. Heck, based on how Vic is doing, I'd even use him in the 3 hole if Charlie wants to keep him at the top of the lineup.

GO PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES!!!!!

To state the obvious, this game is Safeco. None of us wants to sweat out the next 48+ hours waiting for a game 5 with Sabathia going and the Brewers having won back-to-back games.

I'm so confident that this is a Phils win, I may watch the Eagles instead.

by **jerseyhoya** » Sun Oct 05, 2008 12:09:32

Oddly confident about this. Not really nervous or excited even. I have no idea why.

by **CFP** » Sun Oct 05, 2008 12:10:46

I am confident too. I think it's the Dobbs factor. We got this.

by **Bucky** » Sun Oct 05, 2008 12:19:39

We need to win or I risk divorce, since I was just away from home most of last week and have committed to going to game 5.

by **BigEd76** » Sun Oct 05, 2008 12:26:20

Please win this game for our sanity.

Since the NLDS started in 1995, only 5 teams forced a game 4 after being down 2-0....and none of them forced a game 5....

So, 5 have and 8 haven't. That's not THAT unusual sir.

Lets go Phils!!!!!!!!

by **TheDude24** » Sun Oct 05, 2008 12:38:09

Offense, please show up today. I'd like 6 runs off Suppan and 5+ more off the bullpen. Thanks.

by **Woody** » Sun Oct 05, 2008 12:45:28

Hope the boys brought the hittin today. I'd rather not have to rely on Hamels on Tuesday
