And we now know how one of the “Best Fastball Hitters” does when faced with one of the “Best Fastball Pitchers”!

Great Job!!
One more number from the series:
103.5- The speed of the Aroldis Chapman pitch Carlos Ruiz hit and the fastest pitch hit by any hitter in the three years Pitch F/X has been tracking pitch speed.

Great article. Now, these numbers I can get behind!
What about comparing the Reds regular season errors to the ones committed in this series…or Errors/game?

0.44 – errors per game for Reds in regular season.
2.33 – errors per game for Reds in NLDS.
by David S. Cohen on Oct 12, 2010 12:47 PM EDT up reply actions
While there were a lot of Reds errors, the errors really only gave away one game- all 4 runs in Game 1 were earned, and one of the two runs in Game 3 was- enough to win both of those games.
The Braves on the other hand got killed by errors and bad umpiring. While they only gave up 3 unearned runs, these runs cost them one and possibly two (game 4 would have went to extras) games. Add that to San Fran getting their only run in Game 1 from a missed call, and that series is much different.

Speaking of regular vs. postseason
By the way,
I think Halladay just made no-hitters much more prevalent in the postseason they are in the regular season…
regular season: 267 no hitters in 394,000 games (1 every 1,476)
postseason: 2 no hitters in 1,300 games (1 every 650)
Perfect games:
regular season: 1 every 21,000 games
post season: 1 every 1,300 games
(the number of games may be — if you know where to find exact numbers, let me know)
Yeah, considering we swept a team with that triple-slash line, I’ll take that same outcome with that same triple-slash line against the Giants!
by David S. Cohen on Oct 12, 2010 1:41 PM EDT up reply actions
Yeah
We can beat the giants with that triple slash line, its the world series where it needs to improve against better offenses

Depends who gets there… Rays hitting has been pretty hit or miss all season.

Brian Wilson...
would definitely be a fan favorite if he played in Philly….Have you seen some of this guys quotes? hillarious
If lovin' Chooch is wrong...I don't wanna be right!
watch this
The entire interview is pretty fantastic, but if you have to pick, watch the last minute of it.
Low score on the Weird-O-Meter
Camillia gives him a 4 – Gonzo says she loved the shoes but the socks were just over the top esp. for an pro athlete. Too intentional. But it’s weird that he’s trying to be weird and he gets points for that.
Gonzo gives him a 1.5. The ninja bit, oh please…did he rehearse that with his agent. And the phone gag. Who brings props to a interview. Clowns? Magicians? Ventriloquists? Poseurs?
This is amazing. Comedic gold. I always thought the guy was a bit odd but this just endears him to me even more.

Here’s one from the end of the same article as the Aubrey Huff quote from Screen Name 20:
SF closer Brian Wilson on whether he would pay to see NLCS Game 1 matchup of Halladay vs Lincecum: "No. They are paying me to see it.’’

This one is pretty good too.
Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will.
Definitely Aubrey Huff, too…
Maybe the best moment of the post game celebration came when Aubrey Huff was giving an interview to the MLB Network. Mid interview, Guillermo Mota comes up behind Huff and starts pouring two Miller Lite’s (I believe…) over Huff’s head. Huff, thinking it was cheap champagne, basked in the moment. But after a quick glance, Huff noticed that "champagne" was actually beer which lead to a very panic stricken "OMG BRO, DONT WASTE THE BEER!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Re: Fake
It looks like he probably dyes it.…
As for the beard, let’s turn to another Giants reliever with dark facial hair, Sergio Romo. He called Wilson’s beard “pretty good” – and then smirked and said “you can tell color has been added” to make it black. (Wilson coyly has dodged suggestions he colors the beard.)

Sweeps are pretty rare
Another number (just out of curiosity I looked it up): 4 – Previous MLB postseason sweeps of Philadelphia baseball teams (including Philadelphia A’s).
1914 Philadelphia A’s (by the Boston Braves)
1950 Phillies (by the New York Yankees)
1976 Phillies (by the Cincinnati Reds)
2007 Phillies (by the Colorado Rockies)
The Phillies in one way or another have avenged all of these except the one by the Yankees.
(1993 LCS over the Braves; 2010 LDS over the Reds; 2009 LDS over the Rockies)
So, I think it’s obvious what the task ahead is.

Missanelli mentioned that Cole deserves props for rolling into hostile territory and finishing a sweep with CGSHO. I believe he said that Cole was only the fourth pitcher to do so.

if you go by city, then there is unfinished work with NY and Boston
New York this year and Boston next years sounds good to me.
True enough. Although if it’s by city but not necessarily by sport, I think the Flyers did a pretty good number on Boston last spring. I must say. I was hoping back in 2007 to avenge Grover Cleveland Alexander and the rest of the 1915 Phillies in the World Series that year.

So I have it on good authority that Saturday’s Game 1 will start at 7:30.

That I do not know. I just heard 7:30.

I’m mauled either way. Got a wedding that day(not my own) the wedding is at one time, the reception 4 hours later and it lasts for 5 hours.

Yeah..apparently it’s semi common to do that…allows for pictures.
I got married a little over two years ago and we had like a 1.5 hour gap.

Yeah, better them than me…I’d kill myself. I hated the hour we spent getting pictures.
"You can commit no mistake and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life." - Jean-Luc Picard
At first I figured I would just go to the reception place early and get bombed on their dime but it doesn’t even open until like 4:30. Fortunately the church is like 5 minutes from our house so the wife and I will probably end up hosting others from the wedding during this down time…meaning I will get bombed on my own dime…

Ditto…I am the best man at my friend’s wedding on Saturday. Reception should be over 8ish….I hope.

Another tidbit
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Halladay and Hamels were the first teammates to pitch complete-game shutouts in the same postseason series since Ken Holtzman and Vida Blue did it for the A’s in the 1974 ALCS against the Orioles.
Now that’s pretty remarkable. That year the A’s were a veteran team very similar to this year’s Phillies – been to the playoffs four straight years, two straight in the World Series at the time of the ’74 ALCS. Oh, yes, they won the World Series that year.
by phillyinportland on Oct 12, 2010 5:21 PM EDT reply actions
I was just e-mailed the MLB press release on first pitch times for the ALCS and NLCS. For the Phils-Giants it is:
Game 1 – 7:57 pm (Sat.)
Game 2 – 8:19 pm (Sun.)
Game 3 – 4:19 pm (Tues.)
Game 4 – 7:57 pm (Wed.)
Game 5* – 7:57 pm (Thurs.)
Game 6* – 3:57 pm (Sat.) – Note that if the ALCS does not reach game 7, this shifts to 7:57 pm
Game 7* – 7:57 pm (Sun.)
Game 3
Will definitely be watching the game on the computer while in class

As expected
Each series gets two afternoon games.
Maybe
I haven’t paid attention well over the season, but doesn’t Cole’s fastball usually stay between 88-92 mph? 96 mph tells me he’s feelin real good with his arm.
Totally unrelated, but I was reading the Yahoo sports home page and I noticed a barely, and I mean barely, sports related article about Arianny Celeste. Don’t get me wrong, she’s hot, but it mostly goes over how she’s going to be on the November issue of Playboy (yes, I did click the article hoping for some pics). Anyway…I was just wondering how long it may take until the Miss Universe pageant (sp?) gets covered by the guys at Yahoo.
Had
to google that because the reference is a good decade or so too old for me. Good for you though not having to look her up. Or did you?
by Off_The_Hook on Oct 12, 2010 9:23 PM EDT up reply actions
Pantene commercials, right?
No Googling for me. I’m old enough to remember her in Weird Science (yum).
Ooh
him and his paradoxial action movies I know. I say paradoxial because when I think action movies, I think muscular and athletic people and let’s be honest, he was a bit heavy and it just ruined the movies for me knowing that he was receiving all kinds of help trying to pull off his action fighting scenes. And the way he talked was Batman-esque in Dark Night, although not as bad.

Under Siege was an excellent film. Co-starred Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey and directed by Andrew Davis, who later helped Jones win an Oscar for The Fugitive.
Andrew Davis is actually a pretty good director, and directed that steal big steal little thing I just mentoined in another thread.
Under Seige maintained my ‘die hard’ movie theory. Those movies are defined in their greatness not by the hero – but the villian, the villiain is always key to making those movies work.

Seagal doesn’t have the heavily-muscled physique, but he started his career as a martial arts instructor. He was the last foreigner to attain a black belt from the founder of Aikido, and started his movie career coordinating fight scenes for movies starring Toshiro Mifune (The Challenge) and Sean Connery (Never Say Never Again). He’s definitely eccentric, but he and Norris are probably the two with the most pre-movie-star training.
Honor is no substitute for victory.

TC notes the impending divine right ascension of Fredi Gonzalez to manager and claims he will “retain that Coxian style in the Braves clubhouse”.
I wonder how firm of a Coxian he’ll be.
