Another Game 5 Preview
Posted by blask22 on October 29, 2008
A game so nice we blogged it twice.
Two days after Game 5 started it can now finally be completed, hopefully. With Cole Hamels now out of the game, the Rays must now feel confident they can steal a game from the Phillies. Although the backend of the Phillies bullpen is stronger, I like the fact that Longoeria and Pena have finally started to hit. If they continue to hit and can win this game the Phillies should be scared. The Phils still have the advantage of being up 3-1 but its a must win. They CAN NOT lose this game!
I think we will see David Price come in during the 7th inning and go as long as they need him to go tonight or until they get a lead to where they can start matching lefties and righties. The Phillies will have Brad Lidge available to go two innings if the Phils can get a lead. It should be interesting to watch because it will be chess match right from the start.
Rays win 4-2 in 9 innings.
See you tomorrow in Tampa.

please get off the rays’ nuts. listen just because your a mets fan and you dont like the phils because there in your division doesnt mean you have to root against them. this is whats wrong with this page; you have writers that are going to go against a team because its the writer’s favorite team’s rival. i expect more from you blask. phils in 5

of course the writer is a mets fan… he’s rooting against them in his column.

Even if he wasn’t a mets fan (sorry about your choices in life) he has a valid point. however, i still disagree. Phils will hold on.
Cheers
