According to team sources, NL Division Series MVP Brooks Conrad will not be available for the Giants in their NL Championship Series matchup against the Phillies.
Conrad, who helped the Giants advance to their first NLCS since 2002 with four key errors in three NLDS starts, will likely also miss the World Series, should the Giants advance.
“We’re trying to stay upbeat, but this sucks,” said one unnamed Giants source. “You have to bring your ‘A’ game against the Phillies and Brooks was a key guy for us. It’s going to force us to hit our way on base and we’re not really built for that.”
The Giants pitching staff also took a hit on Tuesday with the announcement that they will be unable to pitch to the weak-hitting Braves lineup for the remainder of the postseason.
The Giants shouldn’t even bother showing up.

Timmy will smoke you guys!!!!
what about game 3 on the reds and all those errors which led to 6 unearned runs ur not facing the reds pitching and fielding anymore
Its going to be a great series. Both teams have great pitching, Phillies have better hitting. Season series was tied at 3-3, and remember when the Giants beat up Halladay for 5 runs? And that was before the Giants totally redid their offense. Anything is possible in the playoffs.
William - You suck.
giants beat down halladay once & hamels twice this year, and they always score a few when they face oswalt.
not sure why everyone thinks this is gonna be lopsided.
this is a case of a little too much media hype
“The Giants pitching staff also took a hit on Tuesday with the announcement that they will be unable to pitch to the weak-hitting Braves lineup for the remainder of the postseason.”
Good thing the Giants showed up, eh? And won without Conrad and against those awesome Philly hitters too!
How bout those Phillies. The Giants prove once again Arrogance kills.
WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Phillies are done Bishes!!!
Looks like we didn’t need Conrad. Funny article. A little too cocky. But funny.
