NLDS - Rockies vs. Phillies

[xbrokendownx]

go.

[TheOtherAndrew]

Has the Phillies' rotation been announced? I've been checking around but I can't find anything.

[softhands]

Phillies.

[TheOtherAndrew]

Oh yeah, Phillies. I'd say in 4.

[jay_klinkhammer]

Gut says Phillies...

But Ubaldo and De La Rosa though....if they are ON, they are going to win their 3 of their 4 games.

[Drew Beringer]

I like the Rockies in this series, I could see this going 5.

[ActorInThisPlay]

I wanna pick the upset here...Rockies in 5.

[goldandgreen182]

Lee and Hamels will dominate the pitching. Utley and Howard will provide the batting power. Phils in 4.

[CubbyNick42]

Rockies in 5. This could be Ubaldo's month.

[laxcrs]

phils in 5

[kofiadrian]

phillies in 5. it's gonna be a toughie, but we'll pull it out in the end.

[kshtoinks12]

Phils sweep. I can't think of a facet of the game that the Rockies are better in.

[rcrook]

Rockies in 5

[imirish06]

revenge!!!!!!

[Meeze]

the champs...in 5

[baseballfreak19]

Phils in 3. If the rotation looks anything like Clifton, Cole, then Joey B, its gonna be lights out. Revenge for the Phils.

[kshtoinks12]

Joe Blanton and "lights out" should never be used in the same sentence.

[nerd_drummer]

Phillies in 3

[fightinirish217]

Phils in 4, think the Rockies will get one game.

[StandMyBrothers]

Rockies

[Killadelphia]

Gut says Phillies...

But Ubaldo and De La Rosa though....if they are ON, they are going to win their 3 of their 4 games.

Didn't De La Rosa just get hurt? He might not even pitch.

[rcrook]

Didn't De La Rosa just get hurt? He might not even pitch.

Throwing a bullpen sesh tomorrow to see if he can play in the DS.

[Killadelphia]

Likely Phils rotation:
Hamels, Lee, Blanton, Happ

Rockies are left-hand heavy. Kaz Matsui is not a Rockie. No former Phillies play for that team.

Phillies in 4.

[sweetforever]

Phils in 5

[inthemidst]

Phillies in 5.

[baseballfreak19]

Joe Blanton and "lights out" should never be used in the same sentence.

Haha I have faith in the man, he's had a great season thus far.

[Tim Lincecum]

last year i was all about the phillies, but cole hamels isnt the same pitcher and the rockies are really quite good. They even have the best record in the league since Jim Tracy took over. I think the Rockies pull this one out in 5, losing to cliff lee twice and beating blanton pedro and hamels

How can Cliff Lee beat the Rockies in Game 2 and 5 yet the Rockies win in 5? Enlighten me. Plus, I don't even know if Lee will pitch twice in the series.

Cliff Lee will pitch game 2...taking him out of the running for game 5. Cole Hamels has far better recently after he finally got in a groove. Sort of hard to when he was missing starts earlier in the year.

Cliff Lee on the other hand has been horrendous in his last 6 or 7 starts.

Of course, they'll beat Happ...the guy who they couldn't touch earlier this year.

[achassi]

Rockies in 5. I hope

[pand75]

This series will go to 5, but I have no idea who the winner will be. This is going to be the series to watch, I think.

[J.C.]

I'll favor the Phillies in the series just because I think they're more likely to finish Colorado off early than the other way around, but I can definitely see the Rockies scratching out 2 of the first 4 and making it interesting.

[Zeran]

Phillies.

my bet, as well.

[Scott Weber]

Go Rockies.

[xbrokendownx]

definitely rooting for Colorado but not sure they can pull it off

i may pick up the Rockies 5950 i need for my collection today haha

[Killadelphia]

fuck the Rockies and their boring ass fans.

[imirish06]

So annoyed at the time slots for this series.

[Dirty Ernie]

I've once again altered my class and work schedule around these dumb ass times.

[Dirty Ernie]

Lee is definitely starting game 1.

[Killadelphia]

So annoyed at the time slots for this series.

Think of Thursday traffic. Phils game leaving, Flyers-Pens traffic coming.

[Killadelphia]

Just wow.

Lee, then Hamels for game 2. Game 3 and 4 are TBA and Happ and Blanton will start the series out of the bullpen.

[Eich696]

Just wow.

Lee, then Hamels for game 2. Game 3 and 4 are TBA and Happ and Blanton will start the series out of the bullpen.

What the hell? Happ or blanton better be starting one of those games. I am upset Hamels didnt get the nod. Kind of a slap in the face after what he did for us in the playoffs last year... I guess his numbers this year just hurt him though.

[Killadelphia]

What the hell? Happ or blanton better be starting one of those games. I am upset Hamels didnt get the nod. Kind of a slap in the face after what he did for us in the playoffs last year... I guess his numbers this year just hurt him though.

probably his mouth too.

[imirish06]

Think of Thursday traffic. Phils game leaving, Flyers-Pens traffic coming.

ugh I know. I already got stuck in the express way because of a Flyers game earlier this season. I can only imagine what it's going to be like

[Killadelphia]

no clay condrey, park, or romero. Just awesome.

[J.C.]

last year i was all about the phillies, but cole hamels isnt the same pitcher and the rockies are really quite good. They even have the best record in the league since Jim Tracy took over. I think the Rockies pull this one out in 5, losing to cliff lee twice and beating blanton pedro and hamels

FLY FLY FLY AWAY. I. DON'T. BELIEVE IT. I SEE THE LIGHT. I BELIEVE YOU, MIKE.

[Killadelphia]

of - ibanez, vic, werth, francisco, stairs
if - feliz, rollins, utley, howard, dobbs, cairo
c - ruiz, bako
sp - lee, hamels
bp - lidge, madson, myers, eyre, bastardo, kendrick, happ, blanton, pedro, durbin

[Eich696]

probably his mouth too.

Yeah... Cole is my favorite player... I hate that he says some stupid shit sometimes. And our bullpen looks very bad.

[Killadelphia]

no de la rosa for the rockies.

[Eich696]

http://www.baseball-almanac.com/players/pics/doug_glanville_autograph.jpg

[Killadelphia]

Cliff Lee vs Ubaldo Jimenez and Cole Hamels vs Aaron Cook in Philly

we will definitely lose game 2.

[Eich696]

Cliff Lee vs Ubaldo Jimenez and Cole Hamels vs Aaron Cook in Philly

we will definitely lose game 2.

We arent going to lose either game.

[Killadelphia]

We arent going to lose either game.

sinker baller, they normally allow 2 hits off us, even if they're the worst ever to pitch in the game.

[Scott Weber]

should we just re-name this thread "watch justin vent and be super obnoxious?"

[StandMyBrothers]

should we just re-name this thread "watch justin vent and be super obnoxious?"
yeah, no "boring" rockies fans allowed.

[ted is lying]

Rockies just been so clutch since the all star break, im gonna to say rockies in 5.

[Killadelphia]

yeah, no "boring" rockies fans allowed.

I went to 2 games at Coors' Field. The half-capacity filled fans were boring.

[Killadelphia]

should we just re-name this thread "watch justin vent and be super obnoxious?"

I haven't vented at all since I came back, so give me a break and stop trying to pick fights.

[Scott Weber]

fuck the Rockies and their boring ass fans.
Cliff Lee vs Ubaldo Jimenez and Cole Hamels vs Aaron Cook in Philly

we will definitely lose game 2.
sinker baller, they normally allow 2 hits off us, even if they're the worst ever to pitch in the game.

You're right, totally even keel and not at all dramatic. X-)

Let's just mellow out, alright...we've got a new drama queen around here these days, I don't know if I can handle 2. You've been great, but c'mon now.

[Killadelphia]

I was joking about the Rockies, but their fans at the games were pretty boring. Probably the weather. They have a lot of young guys and Tulo is one of my favorite non-Phillies in baseball.

With the other things, it's pretty much fact. It sucks, but we really blow against sinker ballers. A lot of it has to do with how our guys our so addicted to power and try to hit the top part of the ball...and then we drive them right into the ground.

Also, just reported Hammel will likely start instead of marquis.

We'll see what happens. Hopefully both teams have to deal with the shadows on thursday this year.

I'm definitely not going to vent in here though.

[imirish06]

7 hours!!

[Dirty Ernie]

On my way down to the game now, and I have a presentation at 715 tonight, this should be hilarious.

[Throwback]

Lee's had me worried lately. Also, I understand the occasional clutchness of Stairs, but I'd rather have Mayberry in there. Call me crazy.

[imirish06]

I'm not too worried about Lee, I think he'll be fine. Plus there isn't a pitcher on the team whom I'd trust out there more than him. Even though big Joe is awesomely consistent.

[aloneatlastnj]

balls gonna drift today - for both the phils/rox and yanks/twins. gonna be trouble.

[imirish06]

I definitely think the wind could play towards the Phillies line up

[aloneatlastnj]

sloppy baseball right now by the phils

[imirish06]

holy shit! that wind is nasty

[DCfreak]

philledelphia phillies are nervous nillys!

[RyanFTW]

Come Onnnnn Phils, embarrass the Rockies!

[Killadelphia]

philledelphia phillies are nervous nillys!

I don't think I've ever seen someone butcher Philadelphia so bad in my life.

[DCfreak]

lol sorry, drunk for baseball day.

[DaveFeelsRight]

i like that the pitch track is always there now

[Killadelphia]

Is this crowd even awake? way to make it easy for Colorado.

[RyanFTW]

The righties are going to be key against Cliff Lee today. Hopefully he eats the lefties alive.

[DaveFeelsRight]

way to go werth

[Scott Weber]

wow. safe by a mile. AWFUL call.

[RyanFTW]

Hot Damn, he was safe, but it was still a hell of a throw.

[Drew Beringer]

wow that was an awful call

[aloneatlastnj]

Is this crowd even awake? way to make it easy for Colorado.

what i read: complain complain complain complain.

[Killadelphia]

um...what the hell was that ump looking at? It wasn't even bang bang.

[RyanFTW]

I think the consequences of the pitcher leading off next inning make it worse for the Rockies.

[Killadelphia]

what i read: complain complain complain complain.

Not really complaining. More or less surprised after being there last year.

[RyanFTW]

Jimenez is fucking locked in right now.

[Killadelphia]

damn, back-to-back backward Ks. Jimenez stuff is just nasty right now.

[RyanFTW]

come on RAULLLLL!

[Scott Weber]

there's the raul we know and love!

[Killadelphia]

He's been awful since the break. I think he rushed back to play in the dumb all-star game and he hasn't had his timing back since. We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for his April and May though.

[RyanFTW]

Rollins catches the ball, stops for a pose and then heads back to SS.

[RyanFTW]

Lee's been consistent on inside corners today. I wouldn't be throwing those kind of pitches to Helton though.

[RyanFTW]

Atta Boy Cliff, he loves being in that batter's box.

[deadstar]

All of this stuff being blown onto the field by the ridiculous wind reminds me of Shea stadium. A plastic bad used to be able to stay in the air high above the field for innings in the swirling winds at Shea.

[aloneatlastnj]

damn that wind is crazy. you can hear it affecting the announcers too. geez

[imirish06]

lol lee

[RyanFTW]

Cliff Lee just stole a fucking base.

[aloneatlastnj]

wow lee with a stolen base..

[imirish06]

Yeah I would hate to be an outfielder today.

[RyanFTW]

Wind reminds me of Candlestick, sans the depression.

[imirish06]

holy shit was he out.

[Drew Beringer]

lolol another bad call by the umpires on the base paths.

[StandMyBrothers]

nice Cliff Lee was out

[RyanFTW]

WOW that was an even MORE awful call.

[deadstar]

I hope a bad call costs a team the world series and instant replay is instituted.

[aloneatlastnj]

so much for making jimenez work...

[rcrook]

The fix is on

[Killadelphia]

Damn, 2 blowns calls. The 2nd one was a little closer because from that angle it was hard to see him nick lees (apostrophe is going quick find on firefox for some reason) but Lee did beat the back leg tag.

[imirish06]

ugh. Utley has been struggling big time. 0-17

[Killadelphia]

Another backward K.

[Killadelphia]

that was dumb.

[aloneatlastnj]

that was dumb.

maybe lee can give howard a tip or two hahahaha

[Drew Beringer]

Rockies popping up everything.

[imirish06]

Yes!

[Killadelphia]

Rauuuuuuuul. Way to make up for the first at-bat.

[kshtoinks12]

Series over.

[Killadelphia]

come on chooch.

edit: hold on chooch.

[imirish06]

chooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooch

[Killadelphia]

amazing at-bat. 2-0.

[Killadelphia]

damnit vic. Not a good 3-1 swing.

[Killadelphia]

Interesting to see how Lee responds after a long inning and being on base.

[s.t.e.v.e.n.]

Phillies got this.

[Killadelphia]

And he does that...well done.

[Killadelphia]

ry-ho!

[s.t.e.v.e.n.]

Wow. Nice steal and Wall-1, Gonzalez-0.

[Killadelphia]

damn wind. That was a bomb. Can't believe Fowler almost caught it with the wind.

[Scott Weber]

annnnd game.

[Bob Payne]

this is delicious.

I hate TBS broadcasters. They're terrible.

[Killadelphia]

rauuuul 5-0! Lee and Ibanez impressive in their playoff debuts.

[RyanFTW]

Royal Bitchslap, a la Phillies.

[rcrook]

Series over.

? this is the one game that the phillies are the heavy favorites

[Killadelphia]

damn, it is the 7th inning already.

[imirish06]

Wind is nasty here. The game keeps cutting out

[Killadelphia]

Wind is nasty here. The game keeps cutting out

Yeah they were saying 40+ mph gusts. Not looking forward to that tonight living on the water.

[Chalie22]

Phils are hitting the ball today! Cliff Lee is doing his thing.

wooohooo

[Killadelphia]

That ball was hit way too hard to even score on a ground ball...come on vic.

[Killadelphia]

tbs hd just went down. lame.

[rcrook]

glad the phillies fans totally ripped off the sign that the twins fan had yesterday

[Killadelphia]

which sign was that?

[imirish06]

tbs hd just went down. lame.

yeah it keeps doing it here. so annoying

glad the phillies fans totally ripped off the sign that the twins fan had yesterday

what did it say?

[rcrook]

why is jason marquis pitching i thought he was one of the starters?

[rcrook]

which sign was that?

yeah it keeps doing it here. so annoying



what did it say?


"I left school early today with a fever, Phillies fever"

They showed that same exact sign yesterday but with Twins instead of Phillies fever

[Killadelphia]

why is jason marquis pitching i thought he was one of the starters?

game 4 starter. Hammel is pitching game 3.

[Killadelphia]

"I left school early today with a fever, Phillies fever"

They showed that same exact sign yesterday but with Twins instead of Phillies fever

I assume it was a little kid who made the sign or asked his mom to make the sign...Curse him for stealing an idea!

[rcrook]

I assume it was a little kid who made the sign or asked his mom to make the sign...Curse him for stealing an idea!

just making an observation. for someone that complains as much you do i should be allowed to complain once.

[Killadelphia]

No, you were looking for another way to attack the Philadelphia fan base.

[imirish06]

"I left school early today with a fever, Phillies fever"

They showed that same exact sign yesterday but with Twins instead of Phillies fever


Ahh ok I saw that.

To be fair though, there was a song made in the 70's called "Phillies Fever" sung by Bowa and Schmidt and all. Some of the lyrics were "We got the fever. Phillies fever"

That being said, I'd say the sign was probably a rip off too.

[RyanFTW]

Boo Fucking Hoo, you two. Chill out.

[rcrook]

No, you were looking for another way to attack the Philadelphia fan base.

lolololol i would have made that comment if a fan from any playoff team had made it. you're just trying to make yourself and your fan base look like victims. i'm done with this. i made a simple observation that is all.

[RyanFTW]

"I've got a FEVER! And the only way to cure it is MORE COWBELL!"

[rcrook]

"I've got a FEVER! And the only way to cure it is MORE COWBELL!"

or more cliff lee. he has been fantastic today.

[Killadelphia]

ugh, Werth what the hell was that.

[RyanFTW]

or more cliff lee. he has been fantastic today.

TAKE THAT PHILLY FANBASE!

[imirish06]

Awesome game from Lee. 1 down 10 to go.

[Killadelphia]

damn. nice pitching performance. only 2nd ever cg by a phillie in the postseason. who can name the other?

[Scott Weber]

No, you were looking for another way to attack the Philadelphia fan base.
ryan and justin, shut the hell up or i'll just kick both of you out. ryan's comment was not attacking the philly fanbase, stop being so narcissistic justin.

[imirish06]

man I love the Harry Kalas "High Hopes" thing they've been doing since his passing.

[rcrook]

ryan and justin, shut the hell up or i'll just kick both of you out. ryan's comment was not attacking the philly fanbase, stop being so narcissistic justin.

i'm done arguing with him. not even worth my time. it was an innocent comment that was misconstrued.

[Bob Payne]

damn. nice pitching performance. only 2nd ever cg by a phillie in the postseason. who can name the other?

Schilling!

[Killadelphia]

ryan and justin, shut the hell up or i'll just kick both of you out. ryan's comment was not attacking the philly fanbase, stop being so narcissistic justin.

It's fine. He's made comments in the past. I took it the wrong way. It's over.

[Killadelphia]

man I love the Harry Kalas "High Hopes" thing they've been doing since his passing.

hope it continues forever.

[rcrook]

I have an issue with TBS doing these games simply because it's such an NBA network. Craig Sager and David Aldrige should be strictly with NBA broadcasts.

[RyanFTW]

While we're on the subject of the Phillies and Rockies, What batting stance should I change my Road to the Show character to? I was thinking either Todd Helton or Tulo.

[Scott Weber]

how did you still play that game and discuss it like every week?

[RyanFTW]

how did you still play that game and discuss it like every week?
I'm going for a full career without simulating. I started it like, a week after it was released and my character is 35.

[imirish06]

lol.

I gave up on the show after I batted like .400 and then got sent down to the Iron Pigs the following season. That and it's NCAA football time.

[RyanFTW]

lol.

Once you get over the hump of minor league contracts it becomes more fun.

[Scott Weber]

I'm going for a full career without simulating. I started it like, a week after it was released and my character is 35.
i played to about 27 with minimal simming but after i got 99s in everything I kind of lost interest.

[RyanFTW]

i played to about 27 with minimal simming but after i got 99s in everything I kind of lost interest.

Well, I'm going for milestones. I'd rather do this than play warcraft.
And you also have a life and all that.

[Killadelphia]

Well, I'm going for milestones. I'd rather do this than play warcraft.
And you also have a life and all that.

well...you could always go outside and have a real catch?

[RyanFTW]

well...you could always go outside and have a real catch?

Well, you could get to age 35 rather quickly in this game. It's taken me a good 6 months or so to get here. This game is more of a "Pass spare time" thing. I still study (and get decent grades) in my crappy junior college, date regularly, and play sports with friends every chance I get. I don't think I have much of a problem with this game.

[Scott Weber]

I really hate these Phillies jerseys. Among the worst in baseball. Cartoonish font, nasty cream color, etc.

[Killadelphia]

I really hate these Phillies jerseys. Among the worst in baseball. Cartoonish font, nasty cream color, etc.

they're from 1948. It's also the exact same font as their other jerseys.

[imirish06]

I wish the Phillies would wear these uniforms more often. I love the logo.
http://insearchofpatthebat.files.wordpress .com/2009/08/scan0014.jpg

[Scott Weber]

they're from 1948. It's also the exact same font as their other jerseys.
They're still ugly - and the back name/number font looks different.

[imirish06]

Really hope they pick up the Feliz option next year.

[Scott Weber]

wow, I actually think Gonzalez was safe there.

[Ailite]

I never post in sports but I live two hours from Philadelphia and I've always been a Phillies fan. I'll probably be in here frequently during the playoffs.

[imirish06]

Man I love Utley but he is horrendous in post season play.

[Killadelphia]

They're still ugly - and the back name/number font looks different.

It's the same. But it does have a blue outline too as opposed to just white. I thought they were ugly at first, but they look a lot better in person.

[Killadelphia]

Man I love Utley but he is horrendous in post season play.

He's been horrendous since september started.

[itsmesean0630]

I personally like the day game jerseys. I especially like the hats.

[Killadelphia]

we will definitely lose game 2.

No definite, but that match-up just doesn't work for us.

[imirish06]

Most of the Phillies have historically hit Cook pretty well

[Killadelphia]

Most of the Phillies have historically hit Cook pretty well

in Colorado.

[Zeran]

I really hate these Phillies jerseys. Among the worst in baseball. Cartoonish font, nasty cream color, etc.

really? i think they look awesome.

[Killadelphia]

Please leave the ball up this inning, Cook.

[Killadelphia]

blanton warming up? jesus christ.

[Killadelphia]

Jimmy hits alright swinging first pitch, but sometimes I wish he would just take a damn pitch. Last two balls were hard line drives, so hopefully Cook is starting to leave it up.

Not excited to see Blanton in relief.

[Killadelphia]

Nice work. I was a little iffy about how'd he be in a bullpen role.

[kofiadrian]

at least he got 3 up, 3 down this inning. that's a positive i guess.

[Killadelphia]

at least he got 3 up, 3 down this inning. that's a positive i guess.

Yeah, he did fine. Sometimes you worry how a guy that rarely relieves comes in, but it is not like in came in with runners on.

[kofiadrian]

there you go shane.

[Killadelphia]

Nice, it looked like Cook was nearing his end last inning. Come on Werth and Raul.

[Killadelphia]

If you're going to swing, swing. Geez. Come on Raul.

[Killadelphia]

Rauuuuuuuuuuuul!

[Scott Weber]

fuuuuuuuuuuuuck

[Killadelphia]

come on chooch!

happ is warming up, which means probably pedro in game 3.

[Killadelphia]

damnit ruiz.

[Killadelphia]

apparently, Hamels wife went into labor during the middle of the game.

[Killadelphia]

2nd dumb mistake by a pitcher today.

[kofiadrian]

oh christ.

[dignan]

I thought I was the only one who hated the Phillies uniforms. Among the worst in baseball. Stupid font. Dumb logo. And that red and blue is god awful. Bring back the maroon pinstripes from the late 80s and the classic "P".

[kofiadrian]

and happ is hurt.

[Eich696]

Are you fucking kidding me Charlie? Bringing Happ? WTF... Then he gets injured...

[Drew Beringer]

apparently, Hamels wife went into labor during the middle of the game.
Oh wow

[Eich696]

apparently, Hamels wife went into labor during the middle of the game.

Sure that really helped his concentration!

[Scott Weber]

Really do not understand bringing in Happ...

[imirish06]

Agreed.

[Killadelphia]

yeah, such a pointless move. Nice job by Eyre.

[imirish06]

too high. too high

[dignan]

holy shit. why did Jason Giambi start playing for the Rockies? i had no idea he was on that team.

[Killadelphia]

Phillies have used 4 pitchers today that have made at least 10 starts this year.

[kofiadrian]

holy shit. why did Jason Giambi start playing for the Rockies? i had no idea he was on that team.




same here. my mind has just been blown.

[Scott Weber]

haha wow guys. not paying that close of attention?

[Killadelphia]

nice job by bastardo.

[Killadelphia]

more ground balls

[dignan]

same here. my mind has just been blown.

next thing you know, Barry Bonds will be on deck for the Phillies

[Killadelphia]

outttta here.

[kofiadrian]

jaysonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

[dignan]

so what is Brad Lidge's role? is he still closer?

what if this series goes 5? bottom of the 9th? Phils up by one run. you bring him in?

i wouldn't bring him in if they were up by 10 runs.

[Killadelphia]

so what is Brad Lidge's role? is he still closer?

what if this series goes 5? bottom of the 9th? Phils up by one run. you bring him in?

i wouldn't bring him in if they were up by 10 runs.

madson is the closer.

[Killadelphia]

damn probably stairs, ruiz, cairo up in the 9th. rough.

[dignan]

they keeping Lidge for mop up duty then?

[Killadelphia]

they keeping Lidge for mop up duty then?

idk, they'll use him when they use him.

[Killadelphia]

Nice work by Madson. come on Phils.

[RyanFTW]

7 pitches for Madson, 2Ks one Flyout. Goddamn impressive.

[dignan]

Matt Stairs at naked men.

[COTA]

lol Cliff Lee pinchrunning

[Killadelphia]

nice at-bat by stairs. Street shouldn't have given into him. Let's hope Manuel doesn't get Lee hurt now.

[xbrokendownx]

haha Cliff Lee in to pinch run

[aloneatlastnj]

cliff lee as a pinch runner? unorthodox hahaha

[Scott Weber]

turn 2 and get out, c'mon

[dignan]

please rockies. don't blow this!

[dignan]

Jimmy Rollins was a lot more intimidating when he had the cornrows.

[Killadelphia]

Come on Vic. Double down the line scores 2

[imirish06]

come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[Killadelphia]

great first pitch.

[dignan]

The Phillies uniforms look like something from the old Bases Loaded games for Nintendo. too generic.

[imirish06]

Fuck. Little worried now going into Colorado.

[Scott Weber]

i thought Victor got a hit

[Killadelphia]

nice come back attempt. It was a bad match-up from the start. Can't wait to watch the snow game and Pedro in game 3.

[J.C.]

Atta boys, Rox.

[Killadelphia]

Pedro expects to start. Manuel said Pedro or Blanton.

So my friend is a Cubs fan and she wrote a letter to Shane Victorino apologizing for the Cubs fan that poured beer on him. Today she received a thank you letter and autographed photo from Victorino in the mail. Really cool.

Game 4 is Sunday at fucking 10:07. Hilarious.

[Killadelphia]

Pedro to start game 3. Plans to take a snow mobile around the bases.

Philly delivered higher home ratings than LA and NY.
