GDT: 10/26/08 - WS GAME 4- PHI (2) @ TB (1) - 8:00 PM ET

Thought I'd start somethin'!

Patti LaBelle did a very adrenaline-loaded version of the SSB....

you go girl!

I asked earlier if people were interested in the GDT and got no response.

1-0 Phillies

come on Rays, you NEED THIS WIN

Sonnanstine can't settle down!

Top of 3rd, Sonnanstine gets a base hit!

looks like the Rays are continuing their errors again tonight!

HR Carl Crawford!! YAY CC!!

Phillies 2-1 bottom of the 4th

What is wrong with Pena and Longoria, both are batting .000 for the WS.

Phillies 6-2 in the bottom of the 5th

I think the Rays hafta kiss this one goodbye. Nobody is hot tonight except for CC's HR.

Im sorry but I do recall saying somewhere that the Phils were gonna win. The Rays are a great team but too young for so much pressure.

I'm either way. I'm just glad the Rays got there.

You know you're in trouble when the other team's pitcher hits a HR. Go Blanton!

Longoria sucks as a 3rd baseman in this series

Phillies win 10-2, and take a 3-1 lead in the series.

That game was simply, amazing, yeah it was.



I HEART JOE BLANTON!!
I mean that was unrealistic when he hit that, I wasn't expecthing that at all.

Rays in trouble

Rays gotta take the next three games

GO RAYS GO


I want to see another WS go seven games before I die

Tired of sweeps and 5 game series


Seven Games

At least win 5 and 6

Force a game seven

When the Phillies win tonight, then my prediction will come true!
