Great pitching will be the question of the ALCS

PHILADELPHIA (AP) could, if the Philadelphia Phillies and San Francisco Giants meet in the NLCS National League runs are short. These teams are perhaps the two best starting rotations in the majors. For the Phillies, Roy Halladay (Notes), Roy Oswalt (notes) and Cole Hamels (notes). For the Giants, Tim (white) are Lincecum, Matt Cain (notes) and football jerseys
Jonathan Sanchez (notes).
The Phillies have 11 games with three aces Stars, Cy Young Award, League Championship Series MVP, a game in the series MVP of the perfect world and a no-hitter in her impressive resume. The Giants Big Three have combined for four All-Star and two Cy Young Award.
Game 1 on Saturday night at Citizens Bank Park Get the Doc-Freak vs ready.
Lincecum, Cy Young winner twice in office, should start with the Giants. Halladay is the first candidate to win his second Cy this year the ball for the Phillies, Charlie Manuel put, if the manager wouldnt commit to announce his departure.
They are in different sizes, different pitchers, in fact, Manuel said. Call (Lincecum) a monster. HESA Freak not know if it's not, but his style is different. I hear people talk about his mechanics, but everything that should be the pitcher. Hes special. Hes got a great change of speed, fastball, breaking ball. And if the mandate very well. Halladay is bigger, stronger. Hes more pitches, and I would certainly say that Halladay has more command of the strike zone, which Lincecum. But can every day is powerful, too, said Manuel.
Halladay finished 21-10 with an ERA of 2.44 in his first season in Philadelphia. He led the majors in victories, complete games (nine), shutouts (four) and sleeves (250, 2-3).
Halladay pitched perfectly in May, and almost simultaneously with that of Pittsburgh Steelers jersey
his start in the playoffs. He threw the second no-hitter in post season history in Game 1 of the division series against Cincinnati.

Lincecum has one year was up and down after emerging as the dominant pitcher in the league in his first two full seasons. The hard-throwing right rebounded in September after a loss of more than five career starts in August and finished 16-10 with an ERA of 3.43.
In his playoff debut, Lincecum struck two acute San Francisco's 1-0 victory against Atlanta in Game 1 of the series. He retired 14 in a masterful performance.
It's the kind of person who goes straight and throws, Phillies Bat Ryan Howard (notes), he said. I mean, big jug HESA. This does not seem that too much access to really there. It is only a question of being patient and trying to make a good place and take what they can get Giants get.The almost certain that the use of Cain in Game 2, but it is not clear whether or Oswalt Hamels is Philly. Oswalt has a so-so in the game against the Reds had 2, while Hamels, the series ended with a shutout of five touchdowns.
The Phillies could flip-flop the two, because Oswalt had more success in San Francisco and give them a split right-handed, left-handed, right-handed. Oswalt is 3-6 in 10 starts in his career at AT & T Park, but it is his time of 4.18. Hamels is 2-1 with a 6.12 ERA in four starts at the stadium in 11 years. It is a minimum of four points in each of his starts.
Add Oswalthe was in a trade with Houston on 29 Improved significantly in July acquired the Phillies rotation. The three-time All-Star was the best pitcher in Philadelphia in the final straight, and turned his game after the arrival Hamels Oswalt.
Our pitching was absolutely exceptional, said Manuel. When we got Roy Oswalt, who are we really going on. I think our team, we feel like every day we go there will be a game low ratings. It's just a matter of time until it begins to work with the games and we hope to start this series.
But at the same time had the best pitching we have since I was here and our team should be good for at least the next few years.The Phillies finished with an ERA of 3.67 this season, sixth. They were great against the Reds, so that the best team in the position lights, high-just three points in franchise playoff sweep impact scoring first.
The Giants led the majors with an ERA of Minnesota Vikings jersey
3.36. They overcome injuries decimated the Braves in the first round, posting an ERA of 1.66 in four games, each decided by one point. We have to win pitching, pitching and the Giants fielder Pat Burrell (notes) to the left said, he said.
