Cardinals will be a handful for the Phillies...but I'm not sure the Phils were playing full lineups when they lost 3 out of 4 earlier in September. We'll see. I am glad Lohse is against Halladay in game 1. If Phils lose that, we are in big trouble. I am hoping it will be Phils giveth, Phiis taketh away.

@ace8842 well see Cads are on a roll goin into the post season and 68% of teams that win Game 1 in the Divison Series win so yeah well see in game on...except Pujols owned Halladay last time lol

@jswalton2009 Two words. Kyle Lohse. I just cannot see the Phillies, with their full lineup, not beating up on him. Remember, the Phillies were playing for nothing last time and were just playing out the season, trying to get it over with. I like actually that we have the revenge factor on our side.

@ace8842 I think itll depend on whose bats are gonna be raddlin that most thatll decide the game imo....i wont say pitching cancels each other out (cause philies are the best imo) but the cards have been bating as a team over .300 this month and the Philies havent.....well find out tommorrow though

@ace8842

Sorry i didnt get the Yankees and Rays Reactions....But who would of thunk it would end that way?

@jswalton2009 Congrats on winning the series! Cardinals were clearly the better team. Phillies may have had great pitching but our offense clearly wasn't built for the postseason. Howard, Polanco, and Ruiz were horrible. I blame Manuel for playing Polanco...he looked hurt or something as he couldn't even hit it out of he infield. We are an old team with no spark from younger guys. We didn't deserve to win...I knew Carpenter would give us problems.

@jswalton2009  I have to admit, the Cards do scare me, in that ESPN was showing some stat where 3 of the Cardinals have the highest playoff batting averages. The Phillies have to hit. That is my big worry, that their offense goes cold. To be fair, in that 8 game losing streak Howard, Pence, and sometimes others were not playing...but our bats have not been great the entire year. It may rain Saturday, which would give Carpenter more time to rest..not good.
