Good lord Cole Hamels has been eerily consistent against the Dodgers! Here’s to the final score being 2-1 Dodgers!

MSTI, I’ve believed from the outset of this series that the goal is to win four games. That hasn’t changed. Granted, now, they don’t have any more games to lose (no more second chances) but every single baseball “expert” (if you can call them that) figured this series would go seven games. Some even thought the Dodgers would win Game 7. So, basically, whether we’re up 3-1 or down 3-1, it still takes four wins to go to the Big Dance.
Lowe & Manny have done that comeback before — but also don’t forget about Bill Mueller, who is still in the Dodgers organization and played on that comeback Red Sox team.
This team has rallied back from big slides. Hell, this same squad lost eight in a row, then rang off eight straight wins. Bills has to bring his best stuff tonight and I think we’ll see it. Home cooking will be good for him.
I think if Manny can keep everybody loose, and we get the game we need from Bills — we got a good shot at taking two in Philly.
Also, Philly’s pen is due for a breakdown. NOBODY goes 85-0 after eight innings. They were one swing away from blowing it in Game four (that swing, of course, being Either’s first-pitch, double play ball).
Anyway, here’s to hoping Thunder Thighs can keep this season alive.
