I'll admit I'm a pessimist by training when it comes to Philly pro sports. That said, I have a bad feeling about this series, especially after tonight.
I expected better from Doc tonight, even given the missed 3rd strike on Burrell that led to the margin of victory. (The ump was pretty awful but not one sided. SF took advantage of opportunities. The Phils didn't.)
The 2nd fat pitch to that cocksucker Ross was absolutely inexcusable for a guy with Halladay's experience. If you tell me Halladay is going to get 3 runs to work with vs Lincecum, I'm assuming we win.
Here are the problems that I see:
- We're going to have to beat 2 tough lefties (Sanchez and Bumgarner) plus Cain.
- Howard's head is burried deep in his ass. I'm expecting little or nothing from him in the way of big hits.
- Rollins is fielding his position, but is a disater in the 5 whole.
- I expect Utley, Ruiz, Werth and Polanco to represent at the plate, but Ibanez and, especially, Victorino concern me against SF's staff.
- Cholly's stuborn loyalty.
I know the Vegas guys like Philly big time and they know a lot more than me. I think we're fucked.

Not so important vs SF, but there's this team from the Bronx which has some real trouble with lefties.

I didn't have a good feeling about this series going in, mainly because A) the Giants' starting pitching is very good and can pretty much match the Phillies' starting pitching IMO, B) the Phillies' hitting has been inconsistent all year, and even when they got hot later in the season it was pitching rather than hitting that primarily carried them, and C) the Phillies as a team, especially the Phillies' hitters, seem to struggle against the Giants, or at least they have for the last 2-3 seasons. (I'd have to look up the stats to see if that last statement is indeed true.)
