Prediction: If the Phillies lose this game they will not sweep the series.

Discuss Game 2 when it starts in the 4:30 hour. You're on your own for this one.

Sweep? Who the hell is talking sweep after one game?

I read that Obama was interviewed by Smerko this morning and picked the Phils. Does that mean all Phillies fans are now terrorists?

What a spot on prediction Will. Why not go out on another limb and predict Sarah Failin will call McPain a maverick. Heck, make it three for three by predicting McPain himself will say "my friends."

Well, in McCain's mind the Annenberg's fund terrorism, so why not the Phillies?

Between the Phils, the market and this election I am filled with a great deal of mixed emotions. Hopefully the markets turn around before the world series, or I am not sure how much I can bring myself to enjoy it.

The way the market is going, it could go up or down 200 between pitches.

I predict Meyers is gonna have a rough start, perhaps worse than Hamels. It's gonna be up to the bats to win this game.

My friends, even if the Phillies lose, they can still sweep this series. The fundamentals are strong.

"worse than Hamels"????

"worse than Hamels"????....Hamels was a bit shakey the first couple of inning. He settled down nicely as the game went on. I can see Meyers giving up a few in the first two innings.

Gibba: "worse than Hamels"?? 8 K's, 2 ER's and 7 H's? Where you expecting a no-no? Nitwit.

Gibba, sorry, but I find idle predictions pointless unless you're predicting against any and all probabilities. Here goes then: Myers pitches a perfect game.
