Phillies Getting Ready


Well I decided, after being asked to really, to start a blog on sports especially dealing with both of my favorite teams. Now first question might be, “What about the eagles?” I do not care to mention my thoughts about that great team (cough sucks) but now onto an important topic. This Phillies are due to face against the Dodgers on Thursday. Cole Hamels will take the mound for the Phillies and Lowe of the Dodgers. Both are great pitchers and got the job done for their respected teams. I of course favor the Phillies chances in winning this game and I will tell you why. 1) The Phillies are playing at home, and the home crowd does play a factor. Remember game 2 when the crowd basically eliminated CC from the game. Only in this city would we chant for a pitcher to work the count and break his bat. None the less the Phillies seem to have this mean streak while at home. 2) The Phillies are like the sleeping giant when it comes to power and defense, if you wake it they then can’t be beat. The Dodgers however do have a lot of power in their lineup that can match the intensity of the Phillies. Depends on who shows up to the game either an offensive attack or pitching defense all leads up to be great baseball. 3) My last point is that the Dodger went untested in their series against the Cubs and now have to face a very tested team. I will always choose tested over just lucky any day. Besides their luck will soon run out and better now then later. Overall good luck to both teams, lets go Phillies. Also just a heads up after each game I will comment on the goofs and pros of the game with comic relief and true fan thoughts, might get nasty.
