THE PHILS have lived up to their "end of the bargain". Now, it is up to the Yanks to finish off the Heavenly Ones tonight. You guys are right---this will be an interesting World Series, and I cannot wait for it to begin. A true "Fall Classic".

You hear about a team that creates the most buzz. You either hate or love the Yankees. When the Yankees are one, it is 100% evident, that the MLB's ratings go way up. Thats the reason you hear about the Yankees the most. The MLB is not stupid.. they cater to the audience that puts money in their pockets.

I agree, I don't even have a problem with it...just don't bitch when you don't like what you hear all the time either.

PHILLIES! Very nice of them to send the Dodgers out of philly with a beatdown. Cant wait for the World Series.

Beatdown is an understament. Padilla had a total meltdown...great freakin night at the bank!!

Next time you come to a game go to Tony's Luke steak shop at Front and Oregon, not five minutes from the ball park...even better then the ones at the field!!

I have never understood why people "hate" a particular sports team. Did that team bully you as a child? Did they steal your identity and rob you blind? Perhaps you hate the city they represent and why does one team deserve to win over another?

The Phillies worked hard this season and deserve to be where they are. The Dodgers were just not up to it. Maybe next year.

Sorry that your Dodgers got spanked two years in a row. Neither of the two series were remotely close.

Nice to see the Angels slow the Yankees down a bit, even if they probably will make the World Series.

Good to see the yankees showing their vulnerability. I knew it was a bad call to pull Lackey after seeing what happened when the Phils pulled martinez that one game. Its just amazing that the Angels cannot hit a HR yet were still able to beat the yanks.

Wait wait wait... The Yankees bullpen is a weakness???

Here is what I mean about the bullpen----------Last night, the Yankee hitters give the bullpen a 6-4 lead to protect in the 7th inning , after being behind 4-0. Marte and Hughes gave up 3 runs, so the Angels took back the lead 7-6, and that was the final score. That hurts the psychology of the team when they can score 6 runs in one inning, and then watch as the bullpen cannot hold that lead in the same inning.

However... doesnt every team have the same issue. The Yankees bullpen has been the best in the league this year. Sure, they have had issues, but to call them a liability is by far an over-statement!

yanks vulnerability is the same as the phils...except they have an all world closer to fall back on. i still don't think the angels will have enough firepower to win 2 in NY. phils vs yanks is gonna be a great series because they are both so evenly matched. phils have legit AL power and both have an outstanding front end of the rotation

Have had to grimace at too many blown calls by the umpires in these post-season games. I would hate to see more red flag type (as in football) challenges, but I expect we will hear some calls for it. The whole stadium sees the instant replays and the umps will be taking some heat.

Major League Baseball desparately needs the ability to challenge calls, like the NFL does.

Phils have hit way more, yet dont have a DH. Lidge has allowed zero runs in the postseason so far. remember him last year? yeah, hes back... just wait till he proves this in the WS. he is one of the major reasons the phils got the win last year and he is stepping up big this postseason and is gonna make up for the reg season!

Angels probably dont have enough to win 2, but I pick them winning the next game. I just hope the phils play like they have this last series, they will embarrass the yankees and all will be well on the east coast

The MLB should honestly be embarrassed about the calls this post season. I'm sure they are cooking something up but just cant implement it midway though the postseason. next year I think we are gonna see some sort of challenge process.

The Phils are 16-4 in the last two years of play-offs. After this series in my opinion they will be 20-5...i see it as 5 games.

If you go through the teams as I see it...TheYankees have an advantage at third base and closer obviously, I call it a push at SS between Jeter and Rollin, I call it a push in starting pitching, I call it a push in the bull pen outside of closer...C, 1st, 2nd, entire outfield goes to philly.

They're actually 16-5, but that's totally besides the point.

      Day 105: mirror work today. Focused on not looping my hands at the top of the swing. Straight down.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner.

      Day 2 (10 Mar 26) - Worked on weight shift feel using slap stick drill (hands about 6” apart - coming back weight on trail foot - down - thru weight on lead foot….moved it to hitting chips w/9i playing what I call “leap frog” - hit 1st about 10yds, the next a couple past the 1st, for about 6 balls total.  Love it as the lies change, the distances vary making each swing slightly different.
