That would be cool if it caught on
Haven’t heard many people use it. I liked when his intro music was Symphony of Destruction too but it didn’t last long.
well theres no fat guy on the mound anymore

Now on Knife Time
the dagger of all daggers, I call it the Kuosherbrox. If you truly need to put some arrogant fuckers down, buy thhe Kuosherbrox, only 3 payments of 19.95
Admit it
You thought that ball was going to get past Manny, go all the way to the wall and score two runs for the Phils

I thought it was a sure single, at least

I didn't really think it would get by Manny
But I thought there was no way he’d be able to get to it in time.
Ryan Raburn couldn’t have done that inning any better :-)

Raburn would have booted it...and then gunned the second run at the plate

Terrible ump tonight, but at least we caught one of his blown calls.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
and pitch 5 should have been a ball anyway you philly fucks
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
Has the ump evened out the bad calls yet?

no just because their have lead to good things for them

basically i was trying to say that its seemed that right after a borderline call in their favor
they capitalize for a big hit

you do realize your team is winning, right?
the innings can’t run out fast enough, if the score holds

Huh?
Are you suggesting giving away outs?
I really don’t follow your logic at all.

"running out of innings" sounds like the lament of a fan whose team is losing
and running out of time to come back.
Official BYB Juju Consultant...now accepting rally creature applications!
“Running” your way out of innings. As in making baserunning mistakes which end innings.

and honestly as a guest at our blog, it'd be nice if you cooled it on the sass
we’re all extremely emotional : )

point taken
it’s weird to be out of it, just rooting for a team without being overly invested….I’ll try to remember…
Official BYB Juju Consultant...now accepting rally creature applications!
and still he didnt make it
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
Run and hit, maybe
regardless of what the play was called, it was stupid
I doubt any play was called
Ethier thought he had Park timed, went on his own, and fucked up
cmon bullpen do your job
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
What the fuck?!
Everything else aside, Torre really does not understand when its appropriate to run and when it is best to stand on the goddamn base and let your best hitter hit.
Torre has said
anyone can run if they think they can make it.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
That's what I'm getting at
There’s just no way that was called
I agree
I think Andre did that on his own.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Disagree
Ethier never steals. I really doubt he got on 1st and decided that today of all days he’ll try to swipe a bag.
by Michael White on Oct 19, 2009 7:32 PM PDT up reply actions
There's no way Torre is dumb enough to call that
Dre probably thought he could get a huge jump and get a freebie
We should be
but by the time the 8th rolls around we will have more then a one run lead.

I have watched the replay on gameday of that Kemp home run 5 times now
watching Victorino after that shot never gets old.
Just saw if for the first time
when Kemp just hit. What a beauty.

The CF area at CBP makes home runs aesthetically pleasing too
by Eric Stephen on Oct 19, 2009 7:37 PM PDT up reply actions
Man, been out all game at a sports pub.
Fucking Wolf has gotten squeezed, it’s ridiculous how bad the home ump is. The zone has been all over the place, and has killed the Dodgers about 5 more times than it’s done the Phillies.
Little frustrating how all these playoff games are being decided by poor umpiring. They are so much better in the regular season, it seems.
the umps calls get magnified in the postseason
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
Hooooong Chih Kuoooooooo….Hong Chih Kuo

Was Casey Blake hitting for the Phillies
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
and to believe some people wanted him to be our closer
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
I argued coming into the season
that Kuo was better than Broxton.
I no longer think that because Broxton took it to another level, Kuo did nothing to disappoint me.
by Michael White on Oct 19, 2009 7:39 PM PDT up reply actions
If his health was less of a concern
I might still agree that he is better. But having to rest more often rehab occasionally is his only downside in my book
can Kuo pitch the 8th too?
i can only imagine how bad Sherrill will be getting squeezed

Damn I hope they just didn't jinx our defense
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
uh oh sherrill
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
I have confidence in him, but you can bet Howard (due up 4th) would be his last batter. Broxton would be brought in to face Werth if it gets to that.
by Eric Stephen on Oct 19, 2009 7:41 PM PDT up reply actions
If Howard gets on with nobody else
he could always walk Werth to get to Ibanez.
At that point the game is tied at least though (if nobody else is on base). It would probably be Troncoso instead.

This just in from Rob Neyer on the Belliard steal:
I don’t guess the ump had this in mind, but a fielder actually isn’t allowed to block a base with his foot. According to the rules.
Blown chances could cost us.
Can’t give this Phillies lineup chances.
Blah
Crucial inning here, not that any of Phil couldn’t slam one at any moment but you know what I mean…

Which is why we throw the off speed stuff afterwards
That was a really nice swing though
Rodney can get up to 98, 99, but he throws a changeup as his breaking pitch (and a good one)
Verlander can touch 100, definitely, but his breaking pitches are in the 80s. Zumaya’s definitely the hardest thrower (has been clocked at 104), but he needs to stay healthy and learn how to pitch and not just throw (and I’m probably the last Tiger fan left who has any faith in him anymore; most of BYB speaks of him with utter disdain).
