I don’t want these guys getting bumped first matchup. I very much fear this will come down to either the Yankees or the BoSox vs the NL champ. I really, REALLY, REALLY want the NL champ to be the Phills. Mind you, if its the Rangers vs. the Phills I’m going with Nolan Ryan’s boys. I do not, however see this as likely as the Sox will pwn the Rangers if they meet. And, when they go on to face the NL champs, I want to be rooting like a mo-fo for doc and the rest of the terror squad (hell, even Fat-Joe).

firedude; Yonder a lucky fella. Seems like all season long Cholly been saying he needs a right hand bat. Lucky for Yonder Cholly never did get his prayers answered (Hunter Pence notwithstanding since he’s “underrated”). If its a matter of comparative religions than we should all bow down to Yonder’s graven images and burn Cholly’s.

I guess I should start going to church again

He looked pretty much exactly like he did before his shoulder ailment. We will see how he pitches next start. Another couple good starts will help ease any lingering anxiety from the Phils Phaithful.

Colbert pitched ok tonight, didn’t he? I thought the off time would really hurt him like when Weaver came of his suspension & got knocked around. I was really not expecting much from young Colbert but I sure was hoping he could deliver. Looks like he remains who I thought he was.

Stutes can’t get the job done anymore. Like I said, Herndon is a better option at this point.

And he must be praying really really hard cause (you are correct, DR.) the closest ball to him all night was a line drive to the SS

Even if it is a pitcher. Heck, that is what pitchers work on most (except Lee, he just works on HR’s).

Charlie and Dubee were shaking his hand and slapping his ass after the bottom of the 6th.

I don’t think he has had a play all night.

He had no chance of getting those bunts down…he was bunting at fastballs at his head.

He doesn’t have a clue. It would have been far better to use Oswalt as a pinch hitter.

Nice HR by Shane. 6 Outs to go. With the way the offense has performed I get the impression there may not be more runs. Taking out Hamels is OK I guess since he hasn’t pitched in forever though I’m sure they were motivated more by having a guy in scoring position to take advantage of it. Charlie did it earlier in the year with Oswalt.

First game back and all. I thought they might let him go another inning with the low pitch count and all, but best to err on the side of caution. He looked good. Only gave up one true hit. Was throwing around 91, 92 at spots.

The guy playing third is playing it for the first time since little league, and you don’t try to take advantage of that?
