With a Phillies fan. It was a ridiculous game that had far too many swings of emotion for the beginning of May. That said, what a great way to end it Chipper. :)

Those horrible ones you’ve had up to now have ruined your view of them.

Phils lost 15-14. I know I haven’t forgotten.

It may have been from all the sweat.

Not the demons, or the Braves.

I managed to get home from work just in time to see Kimbrel blow the save despite Freddie’s 7-10 split. And then watched as they couldn’t score with the bases loaded. Once Durbin showed up, that was all I could stand. Palpitations and all, etc.

I think I said something yesterday about the Braves getting a few bounces at some point. Well, last night was that point and they should probably refill Jobu’s cup because the combination of Halladay giving up 8 and Durbin getting a win just doesn’t happen on its own.

Miracles never cease, Mr. Durbin.

Even Chip and Joe, the most biased sports announcers in the world, chuckled. Joe: “I think I’ll plead the fifth on that one.”

The Rollins at bat:

I was exagerating but it looks like it really WAS 9″ off the plate.

Your arteries lock up at a crucial moment – like, when throwing a peetch to Cheepper Jones.

The Braves’ demons haven’t done much lately and were getting fat and lazy. A little exercise obviously did them a world of good.

The blame for this one goes to
a guy named Roy.

He was squeezing Contreras big time and then called Rollins out on a ball 9″ outside of the plate.

I know that because it was the first big league game I ever went to.

Or did you perhaps mean “exorcise”? As in to banish by way of an exorcism?
