World Series, Game 1: Open Thread
Here is an open thread for general discussion of the Fall Classic. As if this game needed any more hype, the two starting pitchers will be interesting to watch. There are two ex-Braves on both rosters combined, can you name them?

Go rain, win…whooooooooooooooo. Sigh. I know, I’m sad.
This would be much more entertaining if they had Ozzie G do the in-game announcing too.

Looks like Chase Utley is single handedly trying to win Game 1.

I’ve always despised the Spankees and I can’t possible root for the Phillies. So, I’ll just pull for the National league. How about that?

I don't get it
Yes the PHILS won our division instead of the Braves, but they did deserve it! The built an excellent team. So I don’t understand why you can’t root for them! Phils winning the WS also helps make the Braves look better IMO!!! Alot of people don’t give the NL the credit it deserves

our division rival gets stronger, wealthier.

Caution! Extreme Censorship
THIS IS SO FUCKING RETARDED! I DIDN’T WATCH THE BRAVES FOR 162 GAMES TO SEE THE EXACT SAME FUCKING THING IN THE WORLD SERIES BY THE YANKEES. CLIFF LEE ISN’T THAT FUCKING GOOD,ESPN- NO REASON TO HAVE AN ORGASM ON PAPER! ALL HE DOES IS LOCATE, AND GUESS WHAT EVERYONE ELSE JUST DOESN’T HIT HIM! REMEMBER WHEN WE SCORED 6 RUNS OFF HIM- THATS BECAUSE WE ACTUALLY MADE HIM PITCH. THIS IS SO FUCKING RETARDED. IF THE YANKEES DON’T WAKE UP THEIR BATS I MIGHT KILL MYSELF! I DIDN’T CHOOSE TO PUT THIS MUCH EFFORT INTO THE YANKEES TO BE JUST ANOTHER BRAVES GAME!
just thought I’d vent :)

take solace GBNY
they are just setting up the Phils to fall from a high. When Brad Lidge comes in, and gives up 3 or 4 9th inning home runs this series, all will be well.

thank you. I sure hope you’re right

I thought Lee and the Phils looked good tonight.....
I also think if they win the WS, it just makes us and the NL look better. No Biggie either way to me…….
Really just love my Braves :)

GUYS CLIFF LEE ISN’T EVEN THAT GOOD. MOST OF HIS PITCHES WERE OVER THE PLATE. THE YANKEES DECIED TO JUST BE THE BRAVES HITTING WISE. STOP GOING ESPN ON ME AND SAYING HE’S ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD

i am. i’m still not sold that he’s a great pitcher. I’m sold he’s a very good pitcher, not a great one. He still leaves stuff over the plate and gets lucky that the Yankees decided to be the braves. Good. not Great

What is your standard of "great"?
Because even though he leaves some pitches over the plate, he still is getting plenty of outs. Is it because hes only had 2 good years? because, he was always a good prospect. Sure, hes no sandy koufax, but i would say hes every bit as good as sabathia, johan, halladay, etc…

I definitely wouldn't say that
And cite his schizophrenic first half-season in Philly as evidence. He’s only had one standout year, last year, but he went something like 5-0 with 0.68 ERA when first getting to Philly, but had a 6.50ish ERA over his next 7 or so starts. GBNY is right- he’s definitely above average, no worse than a number 2, but an equal to Halladay? I think not. Halladay is far more consistent and much more prone to out-and-out dominate on a given night than Lee is.

Maybe I was being overzealous in my comparisons
But i think because of the last 2 years, he should be considered one of the top pitchers in the game.

I do think he still is one of the top pitchers in the game (meaning top 10. but not top 5). great would be top five. great would require him to not just rely on his location all the time and not have to get out of jams with pitches over the plate, assuming he isn’t a power pitcher

Wait...
great would be top five. great would require him to not just rely on his location all the time
So… one cannot be an ace if he is a control pitcher? I’m not sure, but I think that is what you are saying, which is kinda crazy.

no. Maddux was a control pitcher and was an ace. I’m saying if you are a control pitcher and after the 7th you start losing that pinpoint control you aren’t an ace

I’m not questioning the quality of the Phillies or whether they deserve to win. I just can’t root for another team. Period. Plus, I live in Philly. I’m a little bitter about the local media coverage I’m subjected to every single day. On top of that, my wife is a Yankees fan.
