a few days late for St. Crispian (Oct 25), but nonetheless, Henry V speaks:

From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he today that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now abed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day. (IV, iii)

Phillies kings of baseball!
Carlton, Tug KO Royals

Schmidt Series MVP

By Jayson Stark
Inquirer Staff Writer

They have had to live with the ghosts of 105 awful seasons, seasons that didn’t end this way.
To win it all, the Phillies didn’t have to beat just the Kansas City Royals. They had to blow away 1915 and 1950. And ’64 and ’77. And a hundred other teams that never had a chance to blow it.
They had to demolish a whole legacy of failure in one crazy month. And they did it.

Isn’t it technically the “mid-game show”.

Jenkins is my first up here, yeah. Then if they switch, Taguchi. I know he sucks. It’s a hunch, and a recognition that there aren’t better options.

by dajafi on Oct 29, 2008 8:37 PM EDT   0 recs

If So Taguchi does something good, I think we will all forgive him for being a baseball bat carrying piece of shit. I know I will.

by FuquaManuel on Oct 29, 2008 8:38 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

but still don’t want him back next year. I nice pat on the back as he walks out the door would be nice.

by Whodie126 on Oct 29, 2008 8:39 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Me neither. But I would like him end his Phillies career on the most positive of notes.

High fastball+Jenkins=fail!

Well, it’s still Jenkins. He took the one pitch, on 1-2, that he probably could have handled.

1-1, I meant.
