Damn, that was a good play by Willingham.

and that’s the joy of ROllins being on—-Utley gets that single.

what’s sad is that I think Cincy has a better chance of beating them than the Cards did. The cardinals are in shut down mode (ala the Cubs last year) already.

otoh,

we can pull into a season record tie with the Cards if we win tonight.

by Wet Luzinski on Sep 17, 2009 7:34 PM EDT up reply actions  

that inning had such promise.

Ah well, 29 pitches makes Nats bullpen more likely.

(doing my best LA impersonation...)

This late season call up stuff is a joke. You can’t even get into a bullpen and hurt it now, they’ve got like 18 guys out there. It makes no sense to allow the last 30 games in a year to have different rules than the rest of the year.

by Bilzo on Sep 17, 2009 7:36 PM EDT up reply actions  

Hey Larry...

THE PHILS PLAY BY THE SAME RULES AS ALL THE OTHER TEAMS. THEY CAN CALL UP PEEPS AND USE THEM IF THEY WANT TOO AS WELL!

by Bilzo on Sep 17, 2009 7:37 PM EDT up reply actions  

I thought that might be the Phils strategy too, but apparently the Roles School of Thought prevailed (joined in a sensible coalition with the Rest Young Arms School). To be fair, it looks like the Phils, after seven winning seasons, are starting the Typical Postseason Team™ behavior of guys waking up in late September to get ready. There really wasn’t much use for our high minor league pitchers with these other hurt bullpenners in various stages of DL-dom.

by Wet Luzinski on Sep 17, 2009 7:46 PM EDT up reply actions  

it's a lovely breeze

That propels Mr. Dreamy McDreamboat through 2.

Time to hit the baseball in such a manner that the Nationals cannot catch it or make an effective defensive play, so as to record an out.

Runs plz.

looked pretty good to me. He crowds the plate. So long as the ump keeps the zone wide as the sea, we have one run.

listening to the radio…it’s hard to tell what’s a good play or not. Frantzke starts every ball of by acting like it’s going to fall in, then clamoring how so and so made a spectacular catch.

by Bilzo on Sep 17, 2009 8:38 PM EDT up reply actions  

he was in a full run before falling backwards, over the tarp, into the first row to make the catch.

Nice Catch by Zim, Hans and Franz cream themselves.

Not really listening to them, per se, just that even on low volume, Carpenter’s excitement blew out the tv speakers.

Well, Ibanez has done really well in the past against the Nats and Victorino has probably gotten the least rest out of all the outfielders. I am guessing that is what this is all about.

Interesting move because Vic is something like 1-10/11 in the series. I am guessing they will shift the OF around, or move Benny Lava to CF.
