While the Mets host the Fish this weekend, the Barfs and Phils go head-to-head. Who do you want to win in Philly?

I hate both of them, but fear the Phils less, so I hope they sweep.

You?

Beat the piss out of each other's respective pitching staffs and the Phils to take 2-of-3 or sweep.

I fear them far less than the Braves, who at least have a semblance of decent pitching to fall back on now and then.

When the Phoolies start playing teams that are good (which could be this weekend), we'll see how they do, considering they split w/ Chicago and were lucky to not get swept out of Milwaukee.

I'm on the Rey-Bill-Rey Train. Every Braves loss is a good Braves loss.

Tom McCarthy reports someone's probably going to win the series unless all the games are rained out , then someone might not win this series.........

Agreed.

Sign me up for a Philly sweep. We've got home field advantage in their house. Turner Field? Not so much...

Either team to win 2-of-3, so we hopefully gain a little ground on both teams (provided we take care of business against the Marlins) - doesn't matter which team wins the series.

Not sure why anyone is rooting for a sweep...

I'm rooting for a Phillies sweep because I feel that they do not have the talent, as a team, to gain momentum based on a sweep of hte Braves. I feel that they could sweep Atlanta and then get swept in their next series. Whereas the Braves could sweep the Phils and go on a great run. Getting swept, however, could bury them enough where the final 6 against the Mets would mean nothing to the Mets.

On the bright side, those games might not mean anything to this crew, anyway.

I agree completely...but since I hate the Braves more than the Phillies, I am hoping Philly takes 2 of 3.

phils 2-1

Kid A · 08-10-2007, 10:51 AM

Phils Sweep of the Braves.

Mets sweep of the Fish.

MrHat · 08-10-2007, 10:52 AM

Dont care either way. The Braves have lost to crap teams all season long and I don't expect that to change. The phils have never bothered me.

NickPapagiorgio · 08-10-2007, 10:57 AM

If the Mets sweep the Fish I could care less either way. If you held a gun to my head I think I would rather have the Phils win 2-1 but as long as one of them doesn't sweep I think it is ok.
