PrintAtlanta Braves at Philadelphia Phillies, Sep 23, 2008 7:05 PM EDT
Last night was terrific, but there's still an awful lot that can happen. So just chill and watch some meaningful September baseball.
Cole Hamels and Mike Hampton face off in a rematch of last week's battle in Atlanta. Despite obvious signs of fatigue, Hamels gutted through 6 2/3 innings and managed to get the victory.
Let's go for a blowout and give the key pitchers a rest.

Thank you, Pedro Feliz, for another clutch hit.
By the way, not that it’s relevant, but did anyone else think it interesting that Clay Condrey got his first hold of the season on Sunday. 156 games in and he has one hold (and one save). Better late than never, I always say.

Hamels after 4
71 pitches 6 H (2 IF), 2 R, 1 ER, 5K, 1 BB.
That inning helped his pitch count out.
I’ve always tinkered with the notion that if the pitcher committed the error, the runs should be earned….
Oh come on, the Phils are all about the late innings.
For Who? My teammates.
For What? To Win.
How Much? Where do I sign?
Well put. Jayson Stark had some astounding numbers about how poorly the Mets have done after leading through 6 or 8 innings. Not sure if I have the exact figure, but it was something like: Mets would be 11 games better than Phillies if games ended after 6 innings, and 8 games ahead if games ended after 8 innings. Instead the Mets trail by 2 and a half.

Revising an earlier item
Jonk, it appears as if Burrell has steered clear of the poisonous watering hole for the past few days.
thats probably it for hampton, damnit. needed to get runs off him.
Cole’s last inning here too, provided he lasts it.
yahoo gamecast is all screwed up with the cubs mets games.
i don’t have f-in clue what’s going on there now.
3 innings to score 2…assuming the bullpen keeps it in reach, that doesn’t seem like too much to ask for.
Wheels, thanks for being critical of Cole who went 7 innings and gavce up 2 unearned runs…dick.

Hamels only gave up one unearned run and it was on his own error. Still, 3ER over 7IP doesn’t deserve criticism.

if the phils blow this….they’ll have no one to blame but themselves. Hamels boneheaded throw. Burrell’s baserunning gaffe.
Victorino-Feliz-Ruiz. I don’t like the chances.
Cubs need to put 4 on the board in one inning against the mets. If aramis ramirez and soto don’t get ABs, ill be pissed.
