    Keep the faith everyone.

    I have a feeling that we're in for a wild series.

    Keeping the faith!

    I was at last night's game. Any loss hurts, but I am very optimistic about our offense. Down 5-1 and 8-4, we still managed to give them a fight. This one might go the distance.

    I am confident that our pitching will bounce back, and our offense, specifically MANNY, looked ready to compete.

    Let's take this one!

    Also, WTF with the damn 1pm start? I have class from 1:15-2:15, then I am running to the bar I celebrated our game 2 vic over St Louis.

    Go go, blue mojo!

    Let's go BLUE!!!! In my opinion, this is our biggest game of the year. We CANNOT go to Philly down 0-2!!! I never cared for Padilla, but today I am the biggest Vincente Padilla fan in the state of North Carolina!!!!! I hope he starts things off right by putting the first pitch he throws to Victorino right into his bush-league ribcage! Then, throw a pickoff "attempt" to first base and hit him again!

    LOL, Hell, you're probably the only Vincente Padilla fan in North Carolina!

    As disappointing as last night's loss was, the team showed a lot of heart on offense, and I think we'll take today's game easily. Eliminate the walks in yesterday's game, and we have the W.

    I'll be listening to today's game, traveling up to Mariposa, going to do some fishing this weekend on the Merced River just outside of Yosemite. You all have fun!

    I'll be watching tonight around 10pm EST probably. I have the DVR set. Gotta work until 5pm and the kid has a baseball game tonight.

    Going to do my best to avoid everyone checking on their phones and yelling out the scores!

    Hey all! I tried to think what I did in the NLDS that I didn't do last night that may have messed with the mojo...and I realized I had french braided my hair on all the NLDS gamedays.... So I braided it again this morning and am hoping that does the trick. ;)

    Also, I am skipping a class I am failing (sigh) for this game, so we better win, or else my plummeting grade will have been for nothing....

    1 PM start allows me to see the first few hours at least. Gotta be to work by 4 PM. No TBS in sight on the work TV's. I was very frustrated last night with that. Nice start by Vicente!

    Pretty much the same situation with me. Could have done with a 5 P.M. start, but not bad to to wake up and then 10 minutes later, the game is on. Let's hope we can get a win!

    You know, if I had never heard Chip Caray before in my life, I would hate him already for the bazillion times he likes to keep reminding us that Pedro was a Dodger. Yes, we freaking know that, already!

    I fear that Pedro is going to be on, today. Hopefully so is Padilla.

    Padilla strikes out Werth to start the 2nd.

    Breaking pitch completely fooled Werth. Looking good so far.

    Nice, he K's Feliz to the end the Phillies' half of the inning.

    This is a fun matchup, right here.

    Not fun enough!

    FYI, I think I've solved everything with the URL and email. Let me know if you see anything that's wonky.

    O.K., the stadium was playing a song last inning called "The Payback," by James Brown, which I thought was clever, given last year. Anyways, as I was thinking of the song, there's a line in there (at about 3:30 into the song) that says what I said about Padilla.

    Oh OK I know that song, I just didn't know those were lyrics.
