NLCS Game 6 Thread: Giants @ Phillies, 5p

Jonathan Sanchez (0-1, 2.03) vs. Roy Oswalt (1-1, 3.29).

COMMENTS: Since I, SoSG Orel, was apparently fated to write this Game Thread, can we talk about fate for a minute? Were the Rangers fated to make their first World Series this year, or did they just manage to burn through the best of the AL East with talent and hard work? Are the Giants fated to return to the World Series for the second time in nine years, or do the Phillies have enough juice — which they had more than plenty of in 2008 and 2009, assholes — to make a comeback for the ages?

As we've discovered in our comments, you can lose years off your life rooting for a team not to win. Baseball just isn't as enjoyable when you're pulling for a negative outcome. But hell, everybody around here is half-happy that the Yankees are getting ready to hit the links, so what's another two Giants losses? Call it fate, or Phight — because I'm getting tired of rooting against the bad guys.

If there is any consolation for a sixth game, a Giants' victory would leave a lot of very sad Philly fans, and as much as I would hate to see the Giants celebrate, I would enjoy watching Phillie fans cry.

I'm probably going to be very unpopular for saying this, but I want the Phillies to get their asses handed to them tonight. Eliminate them at home, I say! Make them suffer! Then, in the World Series, I will be content if the Rangers kick the Giants asses and win it in 4 or 5 games, so they can celebrate at home.

@Josh S 4:36p: nice

Steve Sax said...

AC and I will be hanging out tonight but I don't think we can watch the game...you guys need to hold down the bar!

Just make sure no one goes thirsty.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

(stool goes through window)

Not my fault.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

That it's fun when others are held culpable?

Kyle Baker said...

You know the thing about fate? Rhymes with HATE.

Kyle Baker said...

Phillies fans showing their hate early.

Kyle Baker said...

Sittdown you little thong wearing bitch!

Kyle Baker said...

For record-keeping purposes, I'm up in dis bish.

spank said...

Haterade Time!

Kyle Baker said...

Oswalt is catching, Sarge?

karen said...

Epale Everyone!!

The Princess of Gnat Hate is here and really feeling it!

GO PHIWWIES

spank said...

Steel Reserve Baby!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!

spank said...

Hey Princess of Gnat Hate!

Kyle Baker said...

Beer status: Sam Octoberfest just purchased from neighborhood Vons for only 10.99 a twelver.

Surly factor: already have offended whole household with rude, derisive comments about Gnats. Rest goes without saying.

MR.F said...

Good work, DB.

Kyle Baker said...

Suck on that you buncha dime-store whores!

spank said...

killKillKILL

spank said...

Hit a homerun you Bastard

spank said...

What was that. His first hit.

spank said...

Eat CaCa,Dusty! HaHa

spank said...

2-0

Choke on that Pansies!

Kyle Baker said...

Just missed that HR. Gnats fans thought it was out by a mile.

MeanieBreanie said...

Epale Y'all
It's nice to join the party to see that Phiwy has the lead. Tonight's gonna be a good night!

spank said...

I didn't notice they dropped Vicki down the line-up.

spank said...

Hey Meanx.

Steve Sax said...

2-0 through 1!

MeanieBreanie said...

Hey Spankster, DB, Karen, Mr.F, FB, LASC, Saxy et al.
(hopes she didn't leave anyone out)

Kyle Baker said...

spank said...

I've already put this shit on mute.

Kyle Baker said...

MB up in dis bish!

spank said...

Must have butter in that glove

Steve Sax said...

uh oh.

Kyle Baker said...

MDIL has to leave in a minute. She makes me leave the sound on. Going on mute asap.

karen said...

Epale Ms. Breanie

You're right, this is going to be a good night

UJTD!!!!

Steve Sax said...

UJTD!!!

MeanieBreanie said...

@Karen
You left last night and weren't here to speak up for a sistah. I caught a rash of shit over our friend C.J. and Hamels for that matter.

Kyle Baker said...

Reminds me of Sax's "practice Renteria" line recently.

MeanieBreanie said...

But the line is really "I don't practice Santeria"

MeanieBreanie said...

That didn't come out the way I meant it. Renteria/Santeria it's all the same.

Kyle Baker said...

I got that MB. Just didn't want to take time to type the whole line. Need more ti e to hate Hate HATE.

MeanieBreanie said...

Those last two posts just prove I need a drink. Oh the choices to make. What's tonight's special at the SoSG bar?

spank said...

Relax Y'all

spank said...

Where's that troll MOFO that wanted the Gnats to win?

spank said...

Steel Reserve back up in dis bish.

spank said...

You suck, Rollins.

Kyle Baker said...

Octoberfest on special - need to move it to make way for seasonal/holiday beer on the SoSG taps.

Kyle Baker said...

Also there are some Halloween-themed cocktails available.

MeanieBreanie said...

Since I'm doing laundry and actually have to knock out a little work while watching the game Patron was ruled out. Migration Pinot Noir it is :~)

spank said...

Where are we? Frisco.

MeanieBreanie said...

Spank you are totally on your own. I can't even believe you would ask me that.

spank said...

That would have been a hell of a catch.

spank said...

It was rather disgusting. Both my comment and the Gnats scoring.

MeanieBreanie said...

Phiwy is imploding 2-2 tie game.

Fred's Brim said...

Crap. I just tuned in for this. I need to turn this off and now.

NicJ said...

is it just me or does it seem like the giants are being given a lot of games rather than winning them?

but i guess winning is all that matters.

Orel said...

Leadoff walk!

Kyle Baker said...

FB were you talking about this thread or the game?

NicJ said...

ouch

NicJ said...

FIGHT!!!!

Kyle Baker said...

Fight fight fight fight!

spank said...

killKillKILL

Orel said...

IT IS ON

NicJ said...

rooting for suspensions!!

Orel said...

Oh look, a mixer!

NicJ said...

both shall be disqualified for poor sportsmanship.


Texas is declared the winner.

Kyle Baker said...

Utley did nothing wrong. I want to see these Sam Fransissies crushed more than ever if that's possible.

karen said...

Meanie--I'm so sorry I didn't have your back last night. I was having problems with my computer and just gave up.

WTF happened? I took my daughter to work and come back and it's 2-2??

MeanieBreanie said...

Karen - Phiwy imploding. You just missed a bench clearing brawl as well. Sanchez got his panties in a wad after hitting Utley. He is now out of the game.

spank said...

I'm sorry, Meanie. It won't happen again.

Orel said...

Two on, no out. Better score here, Phillies.

Orel said...

Howard looks primed for an RBI or three here.

Kyle Baker said...

Karen- moral of the story is not to give anyone a ride to work. Now this is all on your shoulders.

And on Josh's.

Orel said...

oh, and drink of choice: Stella

Orel said...

Dammit, Howard!

Kyle Baker said...

Howard should just try to swing his nose at the ball.

Kyle Baker said...

Since last night I have been craving some port, thanksnto Orel's comment. Is it port season yet?

Orel said...

Nothing like a fresh portberry.

Orel said...

Dammit Werth!

MeanieBreanie said...

DB - it's always port season although I think of it as an after dinner treat. If you ever see MB or any of her friends smoke a cigar with it, you will know we are all more than three sheets to the wind.

Orel said...

Phillies suck

NicJ said...

feels like im watching the dodgers.

Josh S. said...

Phuckin' Phillies Phail.

Orel said...

If Phillies make it to the WS, Rangers will beat them. If Giants make it, I'm not so sure who would win.

MeanieBreanie said...

And that really about sums it up.

Josh S. said...

HBPs in this series are the best thing ever. It means one side's pitcher is struggling and the other side's batter is in pain.

VIVA HATE!

Why do you come here?
And why do you hang around?

spank said...

Fucking Werth!

MeanieBreanie said...

Great catch from Werth!

NicJ said...

if werth were still a dodger he would need a leg amputation right now.

Orel said...

Werth makes a rugged catch!

karen said...

It's official. I've broken out the Xanax and the Ben&Jerry's.

karen said...

It's official. I've broken out the Xanax and the Ben&Jerry's.

Josh S. said...

Note to self: See if my Vons has that Sam Adams Octoberfest deal.

MeanieBreanie said...

Philly redeem thyself. It's time to get some runs.

Nostradamus said...

hatehateHATE

Oh, hi everybody.

Josh S. said...

Hate, Mr C!

spank said...

YOU SUCK,RAUL!

spank said...

Where the fuck is Madison?

Nostradamus said...

If the Phils aren't scoring against Jeremy Effing Affeldt, the situation is cause for concern.

spank said...

The Crowd lost it's surliness.

MeanieBreanie said...

Welcome Mr. C
It's definitely cause for concern.

MR.F said...

Agreed.

Orel said...

@Karen "It's official. I've broken out the Xanax and the Ben&Jerry's."

That would explain your contented smile.

spank said...

I am sensing a lack of HATE.

HATEHATEHATEHATEHATE

MR.F said...

Oswalt does not inspire confidence right now. I wonder if using him from the pen has affected him.

Orel said...

Oswalt did not bring his "A" game tonight.

Throw a strike,Man.

spank said...

How come they can't get this fuck out?

Orel said...

Freakin Cody Bonds. Unbelievable.

Orel said...

Time to pull Oswalt.

Orel said...

STOP SUckING PHILLY

spank said...

Fuck Yeah!

NicJ said...

UJTD!!

Orel said...

Utley finally comes in handy!

Josh S. said...

I've broken out the Vietnamese food and qualudes.

spank said...

Score some runs DAMMIT!

Josh S. said...

UJTD= Ut Jumps the Devil, in this case.

Nostradamus said...

If you waste this one…

spank said...

Phuk

NicJ said...

WP please.

spank said...

That was no good.

Nostradamus said...

USELESS!

Orel said...

This game is kind of tense.

MeanieBreanie said...

Take some Xanax and it won't be.

NicJ said...

they are pitching to get to posey?!

WTF!?

Orel said...

Walk Huff and pitch to Posey? Makes no sense.

Orel said...

This is not going to end well.

spank said...

I took a Vicodin earlier and it didn't help.

karina said...

Epale everyone!

just coming back home!

Aguilas won and I really believe you can pull this win, Phillies.

(feels dirty)

MeanieBreanie said...

Epale Karina, glad you're here.

NicJ said...

Meh, WTF do i know.

spank said...

Orel said...

Epale, Karina! Just in time to see the Phillies win!

spank said...

Hey Karina

Orel said...

Desperate times call for filthy mouths.

spank said...

Keep bringing the HATE, Karen.

Orel said...

this is torture

spank said...

Phili can't do a damn thing.

spank said...

Do what you have to do to bring the Gnats down,Peeps. Superstitions,Voodoo, Whateva.

Orel said...

Why does it seem like Cody Ross is up every inning?

spank said...

FFFFUUUUCCCKKK!

Nostradamus said...

FUCK THAT GUY!

spank said...

Fuck Timmeh. It's about time this fuck fails. Bring that shit.

Orel said...

Philly doesn't deserve this.

Josh S. said...

It's like the Phillies bathed in Dodger failsauce.

karina said...

I'm writing a very important email right now and I just got out of concentration.

I need permission to curse, I need to feel it's all right. See, I never curse :(

Kyle Baker said...

Too full of hate to type.

karina said...

IT AIN'T OVER 'TILL IT'S OVER and the Phillies can come back.

MeanieBreanie said...

Karina, go for it. Karen and I have been letting it rip. Sometimes you just gotta let it go.

Orel said...

I hear Dodger failsauce goes well with Dodger Dogs.

Nostradamus said...

Let if fly, K. If there were ever an occasion, this is it.

spank said...

FUCK YOU TIMMEH! YOU ARE GOING FUCKING DOWN HIPPIE MOTHERFUCKER PIECE OF SHIT CHOKE ON A WASHINGTON APPLE!
