So if Hamels doesn't pitch well this series the Phillies appear pretty much boned.

Hamels just knows how to pitch.

I know it’s a cliche, but after watching Felix for so long, it’s refreshing to watch someone like this. He knows his change and breaking balls are his best pitches, and he uses them to set up his fastball.

Agreed.

He finally started getting some love with his early-season ass-kicking this year, but as soon as he stopped hitting a home run every day, everyone stopped talking about him again.

There’s just nothing that he doesn’t do well.

He slumped badly over the last few months

And as a 2B.

Brian Roberts might actually be more underappreciated in absolute terms (nobody outside of Baltimore seems to realize how good he’s been), but Utley is more underrated relative to his actual value.

Dear Mr. McCarver:

When Cole Hamels throws a pitch 81-82 mph, it is in no way a “cut fastball.” According to FanGraphs, he doesn’t even have a cutter.

The problem is that "God Bless America" is a hokey-ass song.

You know what would be fucking awesome? If, instead, Northern teams sang “The Battle Hymn Of The Republic” (a genuinely moving song) while Southern teams sang “Dixie” (a great melody too).

I also like the regional warfare aspect of it.

I'd be alright with either team winning

Phillies because they’re a historically awful franchise with more losses than any other team in history.

Dodgers because I do like the idea of Joe Torre going to the WS whilst the Yankees rot on golf courses ’round America. Additionally, in the horrifying event that the Sox defeat the sainted Rays, that would be one hell of a storyline for the WS: Torre plus a bunch of ex-Sox going up against the Real Evil Empire.

In a perfect world, though, it would be Rays vs. who-the-fuck-ever, with the Rays winning in dramatic fashion (I suppose this requires a seven game series with an indelible walkoff).
