NLDS - Rockies vs. Phillies

[imirish06]

Game 3 of the NLDS has been postponed to Sunday at 10:07 p.m. Game 4 will be played Monday.



This helps the Phillies a TON.

[deadstar]

Philly delivered higher home ratings than LA and NY.
Does this really mean anything in terms of number of viewers? 11% of 100 is not even close to 10% of 1000. Its unfortunate the bigger markets will always dictate the schedule in MLB.

[Dirty Ernie]

Why the hell doesn't Colorado play in a dome?

[imirish06]

J.A Happ announced as starter.

[Killadelphia]

Why the hell doesn't Colorado play in a dome?

cause it is sunny and 75 300 days a year.

[Dirty Ernie]

I mean leave the roof open. Playoffs are in October, it's cold...

[rcrook]

It's way too cold and way too late for this game to have just started

[kofiadrian]

It's way too cold and way too late for this game to have just started

[rcrook]

late east coast speaking, or late in general?

[Zeran]

[dignan]

[dignan]

just watching this game on tv makes me feel cold.

[kofiadrian]

[kofiadrian]

[Drew Beringer]

Gonzalez having himself a series.

[rcrook]

8-13 for Gonzalez

[Drew Beringer]

nice bunt!

[rcrook]

all sorts of fail by scott eyre on that one

[rcrook]

nice bunt!

haha that was the worst bunt ive ever seen. they could have probably have gotten the guy at third if he had fielded it properly

[Drew Beringer]

haha that was the worst bunt ive ever seen. they could have probably have gotten the guy at third if he had fielded it properly
I don't know, he bunted it right between the pitcher and first baseman, it was a good spot. would have been a close play

[jay_klinkhammer]

Love baseball at midnight, that's for sure. Great day for sports in general.

[Drew Beringer]

great game

[xbrokendownx]

damn, i thought Tulo had jacked that

[rcrook]

id be pissed if i had to watch my team play at 1am

[Drew Beringer]

Does Tulo have a mini mullet working?

[jay_klinkhammer]

looks like it.

nothing like rockies/phils on mute while listening to Northstar.

[kofiadrian]

id be pissed if i had to watch my team play at 1am



i am, a little.

[Drew Beringer]

huge K there

[Drew Beringer]

lol that kid in the white Rockies jersey behind home plate is really getting into it.

[Drew Beringer]

way to pitch out of the jam, this game rules.

[kofiadrian]

For Fuck's Sake.

[Robb]

lol that kid in the white Rockies jersey behind home plate is really getting into it.

The one in that hat with the flaps? Guys been going nuts since pitch one, it got annoying fast for me.

[rcrook]

The one in that hat with the flaps? Guys been going nuts since pitch one, it got annoying fast for me.

hey if thats the only way i could stay warm then party on

[Drew Beringer]

The one in that hat with the flaps? Guys been going nuts since pitch one, it got annoying fast for me.
haha he is just loving life, first his Broncos beat the Pats now he is front row seats at the Rockies game. It's cracking me up.

[rcrook]

for some reason all i can think when i see the two guys with cowboy hats behind homeplate is harry and lloyd from dumb and dumber

[jay_klinkhammer]

Phils gotta score otherwise Mr. October Carlos Gonzalez will probably take care of business.

[Drew Beringer]

for some reason all i can think when i see the two guys with cowboy hats behind homeplate is harry and lloyd from dumb and dumber
I expected the Rocky Mountains to be a little rockier than this.

[rcrook]

I expected the Rocky Mountains to be a little rockier than this.

that john denver's full of shit

[Drew Beringer]

haha

and that's a break for the Phillies, Rockies need the DP here

[rcrook]

yeah that definitely hit utley

[J.C.]

1. It was a foul ball.

2. Helton's foot was on the bag.

[StandMyBrothers]

phillies caught a huge break there.

[Drew Beringer]

well that botched play cost the Rockies the lead, probably the game.

[jay_klinkhammer]

Baseball can't be baseball without controversy

[rcrook]

"Fuck Yeah Jimmy"

hahahahah

[StandMyBrothers]

"fuck yeah Jimmy" nice one camera crew

[Drew Beringer]

oh never mind, Lidge is warming up. the ninth could be an adventure.

[Drew Beringer]

the umpires overall this postseason have just been awful. They make the NBA replacement refs look good.

[rcrook]

Brad Lidge sighting

[Drew Beringer]

let's put that 7+ ERA to work!

[jay_klinkhammer]

the umpires overall this postseason have just been awful. They make the original NBA refs look good.


Fixed

[gonz]

I hope Lidge blows this just for the sake of comedy.

[jay_klinkhammer]

I have nothing to wake up for tomorrow; let's make this game go another 5-6, eh?

[rcrook]

I hope Lidge blows this just for the sake of comedy.

i want to see him give up a walk off homer and then do the ted lilly

[jay_klinkhammer]

Yes. Giambi's beard.

[Drew Beringer]

crap

[rcrook]

hahaha at the fan wearing the storm trooper mask

[Drew Beringer]

Please pull a Pujols here, Helton

[Drew Beringer]

okay let's go Tulo

[jay_klinkhammer]

It should be "Please pull a Lidge here, Lidge."

[everyonesfault]

Fuck

[kofiadrian]

thank god.

[Drew Beringer]

well that's the series.

[rcrook]

tulo mad?

[Robb]

Another great game marred by a completely blown call. It would be comical if it wasn't starting to actively effect my enjoyment of the games.

[StandMyBrothers]

boooooooooooooooo.

[StandMyBrothers]

when will Robots replace these human error umpires?!?! :-0

[imirish06]

sup

[laxcrs]

affect (actually i could be completely wrong)


yeah gotta love the heads up cheating play to win the game.

[Robb]

No, you're right. I can't even play the "spell check forum poster is a dick" card, since I do the same thing to everyone I know. My only excuse was that I was watching the game with my friend Mr. Bombay Sapphire. So I will play the "it sure beats the jackasses who purposely type like shit so people will go 'LOL THAT GUY IS DRUNK!!'" card.

[laxcrs]

haha yeah i was expecting it to get pulled but fair enough. bad calls or not though at least this series is interesting.

[Robb]

Ump admits missed call on Utley hit

http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20091012&content_id=7438306&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb

[CubbyNick42]

I'm pumped for today. Ubaldo might be the most underrated pitcher in the game.

[rcrook]

Cripes that one got out in a heartbeat

[rcrook]

Looked out to me. These umps are beyond comical at this point.

[RyanFTW]

You know, I don't like the Rockies at all, but Tulo has a sweet chant.

[WakingTheMisery]

Huge wow at that play.

[rcrook]

So smart of J Rol to leave his glove there.

[deadstar]

In fairness, the umpires have been awful for a while. We just haven't had the benefit of the numerous angles of instant replay and pitch tracking for every pitch in years past.

[rcrook]

they've been extra terrible this year with or without extra replay angles. i really don't have that big of an issue with the plate umps this year.

[Drew Beringer]

ugh Tulo choking again with RISP

[rcrook]

All Tracy needs to do is argue with the homeplate ump to complete the cycle.

[CubbyNick42]

You're a dirty, dirty man, Ubaldo.

[StandMyBrothers]

they've been extra terrible this year with or without extra replay angles. i really don't have that big of an issue with the plate umps this year.
they were awful last year too.

[rcrook]

Utley made that look so easy

[rcrook]

anybody else think davey lopes looks like tommy chong?

[CubbyNick42]

Huge.

[rcrook]

Freeze Tulo!

[Drew Beringer]

lol Ibanez

[J.C.]

oh Raul

[rcrook]

I LOST THE BALL IN THE MIDST OF THE WHITE TOWELS

x

[StandMyBrothers]

where's that Raul gif of him failing in Seattle

[Drew Beringer]

Cliff Lee is just too good, Rockies are done.

[rcrook]

[rcrook]

Cliff Lee is just too good, Rockies are done.

there is always a possibility of a brad lidge sighting so this is far from over

[Drew Beringer]

there is always a possibility of a brad lidge sighting so this is far from over
I am pretty sure Lee is gonna go all nine. At least that's what the Phils hope.

[CubbyNick42]

Fuuuuuuuck.

[CubbyNick42]

I want to do the chick who does the voice of the pothole.

[rcrook]

this ump loves the low and away shit

[Drew Beringer]

oh man awesome play by Fowler! (that's his name right?)

[Drew Beringer]

that has got to be one of the coolest plays I've ever seen.

[rcrook]

sign that guy up for hurdles

[Drew Beringer]

no more Lee, whole new ballgame.

[StandMyBrothers]

that was sick by Fowler

[rcrook]

anybody else think utley should have just gone for the out at first

[rcrook]

this thread is so much more enjoyable without justin

[Scott Weber]

ibanez doesn't make that. n

[rcrook]

charlie manuel looks like a genius

[kofiadrian]

what a play by fransico.

[Drew Beringer]

geez what an awesome catch

[mht]

when i saw it hit I thought there is no way Ibanez makes that catch and then realized it wasn't him haha.

[StandMyBrothers]

damn that all boy highschool left fielder

[Drew Beringer]

ibanez doesn't make that. n
haha definitely, especially since he missed an earlier catch similar to that play.

[rcrook]

giambi!

[StandMyBrothers]

Giambi!

[Drew Beringer]

yyessssssssssss GIAMBI!

[kofiadrian]

of fucking course, THAT FUCKING HAPPENED.

[Drew Beringer]

TORREALBA!!

x

[StandMyBrothers]

Giambi must be ready to faint after that run!

[rcrook]

ROCKTOBER. FUCK YOU PHILLIES


x

[DaveFeelsRight]

oh fuck you giambi.

and now the rockies lead.

[DaveFeelsRight]

i havent seen a bullpen this unreliable since the 2007 white sox.

[StandMyBrothers]

so are all the Phillies fans waiting for them to be in the World Series to post here or something?

[CubbyNick42]

More like GIAMBICHETTE and TORREALARRAGA!

[kofiadrian]

i assume that 90 percent of the people here are rockies fans. and by fans, i mean "i hate anything that has to do with philly". hope you feel good about yourselves.

[mht]

my facebook feed is hilarious right now so many bummed out people

[Drew Beringer]

i assume that 90 percent of the people here are rockies fans. and by fans, i mean "i hate anything that has to do with philly". hope you feel good about yourselves.

[Scott Weber]

when you have a population of assholes, you get what you deserve. hold it huston!

[QuikTrig]

hahaha @ philly guy.

[kofiadrian]

like it's our fault that philly fans are complete assholes



despite the fact that not all philly fans are assholes?

[J.C.]

i assume that 90 percent of the people here are rockies fans. and by fans, i mean "i hate anything that has to do with philly". hope you feel good about yourselves.

You act like they're cheering on a rape or something.

[Kid Defender]

Fuck Yes Colorado!

[StandMyBrothers]

Rockies=Roman Polanski now?

[Scott Weber]

despite the fact that not all philly fans are assholes?
your fanbase has been horribly represented on AP. blame your peers!

[mht]

went to see Patton Oswalt in Philly over the weekend and yes the city is still filled with scum and asshole sports fans.

[QuikTrig]

this is becoming interesting...

[kofiadrian]

your fanbase has been horribly represented on AP. blame your peers!


that's unfortunate.

[kofiadrian]

went to see Patton Oswalt in Philly over the weekend and yes the city is still filled with scum and asshole sports fans.


that's just a rash genralization if there ever was one. not all phiily sports fans are douchebags.

[DaveFeelsRight]

oh thank you howard

[StandMyBrothers]

wow fuck that shit.

[Drew Beringer]

ugh you suck Street

[CubbyNick42]

Eff that.

[rcrook]

so that just happened

[kofiadrian]

howarddddddddddddddddddddddddddd.

[Scott Weber]

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[StandMyBrothers]

Justin probably just posted 20 tweets that at bat

[QuikTrig]

:hitself:

[TheOtherAndrew]

Oh good fucking lord.

[Scott Weber]

that's just a rash genralization if there ever was one. not all phiily sports fans are douchebags.
obviously. just a much larger percentage than others.

[areyoukiddingme]

Base hit, baby. Thank you, Werth.

[StandMyBrothers]

this game is over...

[Drew Beringer]

way to blow Colorado.

[QuikTrig]

:hitself: x 2

[Scott Weber]

unbelievable. gotta hand it to them.

[kofiadrian]

Jayson Werth I Love You.

[StandMyBrothers]

only Brad Lidge can save this game for the Rockies.

[DaveFeelsRight]

man, i feel bad for street after seeing him in the dugout

[ForlrnPerplxity]

ughh Street doing his best Lidge impression.

[areyoukiddingme]

only Brad Lidge can save this game for the Rockies.

That's going to scare the shit out of me just like last night did.

[rcrook]

Add Huston Street to the suicide watch list right behind Papelbon, Punto and Holliday.

[CubbyNick42]

Huston Street is one of the nicest guys in baseball, too. That's a bummer.

[jay_klinkhammer]

So he got the loss last night, what would make his approach different a night later?

[StandMyBrothers]

Miguel Cairo still plays baseball?

[areyoukiddingme]

Nice 'stache, Beimel

[ForlrnPerplxity]

Well, maybe a positive out of this should the Rockies lose is that I might find out if I have a job with them earlier.

[QuikTrig]

that woman waving that "street lights out" poster must feel pretty stupid right about now.

[Ailite]

My God that was incredible. I lost it when Ryan hit that double

[ForlrnPerplxity]

Young Jr. was so much fun to watch in Tulsa w/ Fowler.

[rcrook]

my god EY is fast

[CubbyNick42]

I wish EY would have bunted. Simpson just mentioned it, but that would have been an excellent idea.

[rcrook]

if you didn't know who carlos gonzalez was before this series now you know

[ForlrnPerplxity]

I wish EY would have bunted. Simpson just mentioned it, but that would have been an excellent idea.
I was thinking the same thing, but I didn't see how close Feliz was playing in.

[jay_klinkhammer]

Carlos Gonzalez batting .588 through 4 games. Machine.

[CubbyNick42]

Carlos Gonzalez was such a monster in the Midwest League. Good to see him find a spot in the bigs.

[areyoukiddingme]

One more, one more, one more.

[ForlrnPerplxity]

I didn't think Gonzalez would do this well right away after being traded from Oakland even playing in Coors.

[TheOtherAndrew]

Todd fucking Helton!

[ForlrnPerplxity]

YESSSS LIDGE!!!!!! Please, just blow it.

[QuikTrig]

please put in lidge. it would only be fitting.

[COTA]

Oh god, here comes Lidge....

[CubbyNick42]

Lidge vs. Tulo! Playoff baseball fucking rules.

[Scott Weber]

lidge vs. tulo...oh man.

[QuikTrig]

hahah YES.

[QuikTrig]

fuck mnf

[areyoukiddingme]

I'm outnumbered in this thread.

[CubbyNick42]

That E*Trade commercial with the singing black baby makes me laugh regularly.

[DaveFeelsRight]

oh gee, i wonder how this will turn out

[CubbyNick42]

Do we bump last year's thread or make a new one?

[areyoukiddingme]

Lights Out. Nlcs!

[COTA]

Woo!

[rcrook]

sweet at bat tulo

[Drew Beringer]

lol Tulo chokes again

[TheOtherAndrew]

What a weak way to go out.

[ForlrnPerplxity]

Go Dodgers.

[QuikTrig]

doh. lidge's little celebration hug looked so awkward right there.

[kofiadrian]

I'm outnumbered in this thread.



so am i.

[imirish06]

I feel like it should be Phillies fans -minus imirish06, Dirty Ernie. I've yet to say anything assholish/classless in general when it comes to baseball or football.

[StandMyBrothers]

I feel like it should be Phillies fans -minus imirish06, Dirty Ernie. I've yet to say anything assholish/classless in general when it comes to baseball or football.
yeah you two are the only people who belong

[Dirty Ernie]

I cringe when random Philly fans come into threads and say assanine things. They make it hard for me to defend myself.

[dignan]

Tulowitzki is best described as an unclutch ball player.

owned by Brad Lidge two nights in a row.

why? because I saw him choke back to back nights with the game on the line?

[rcrook]

why? because I saw him choke back to back nights with the game on the line?

it's a game where you're considered great if you succeed 3/10 times. sue the guy.

[dignan]

it's a game where you're considered great if you succeed 3/10 times. sue the guy.

i'm only kidding when I said Troy was unclutch. i know enough about him to know he's better than those two at bats showed. i'm just bummed out because I wanted the Rockies to advance.
