You got three LOL's for the price of one there.

Me and two of my kids.

Bargains

I know how to find them

Little Pony in Japanese?

Little Horse

little pony is literally

Chisai Ponii

Touchdown Broncos

I don't care.

Oh NOW I know why attendance is down...

Are they all in Minnesota?

Might as well be if they're sitting in front of the TV

the same way I am sitting in front of the computer.

Oh, wait…

I thought we were playing the Phillies.

RoxnSox09 - September 2, 2010 reply

If someone scores a touchdown against the Rockies, I'm turning the game off.

How quickly you forget the Braves game :)

They scored a TD and FG

We've got a TD agains the Phils!

er, without the extra point yet.

I think it was more like three safeties

well, you gotta call CDI's a FG...

ARGH! I CAN’T STAND IT! GET ALL THIS FOOTBALL OUT OF MY BASEBALL SEASON!

ok, i feel better now.

I've never seen a bat flip on a field goal before.

That's why CDI's awesome. ;-)

I love the technology that enables me to watch both games.

pre-season. OTOH Ohio State is just taking Marshall apart.

As they should, but

Ohio State Sucks

Why the f are the Broncos playing on a Thursday?

MY BRAIN DOES NOT COMPREHEND THIS

Pre Season

lol... poorly veiled sarchasm, lo siento.

You need to use

[sarchasm] tags.

.

preseason

Apparently all NFL teams are playing today.

Many are.

They are trying not to steal too much thunder from College Opening weekend.

That and the fact that the final cut deadline is tomorrow, so they can't play on Friday...

thanksgiving

they bumped it up this year due to the economy.

Noooooo, I missed eating all the good food!

And followed 2 minutes later by a Tebow fumble-into-Minny-TD

I don't care.

WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW, TEBOW????

Dude, that's even farther than I would go

Given his religious leanings

made me LOL ;-p

Oh, it was funny

It’s not like I’m one of them thar AFEEIST HEATHENS myself. :)

think it was a play on a bit of dialogue from the Ten Commandments.

Pretty much...

nice.

Words

They fail me….though I guess this is what his future wife has to look forward to in the delivery room

I have to thank a buddy of mine for that one.

There are so many hilarious things about that picture I can't even begin to count them.

And I like Tebow.

I will name him...

Jesus Heisman Tebow

....crocs....

I noticed those too

alright, funny as this is, football talk needs to be taken out of the Rockies game thread,

shut it down, please.

:) thak you

My apologies.

I... got nothin'.

Man, Cargo is such a joy to watch

When he was coming up just now, I was like, it is so exciting to see him bat. You never know what he’s going to do. It’s the same kind of feeling you had watching Bonds, or Gwynn, or McGwire (too bad about the juicing). Anyway, you know what I mean, at the time it was just cool to see these people bat.

Then he goes yard. In a massive way. 10 straight games with an XBH. The man can rake.

amoeba - September 2, 2010 reply

Got those two runs back.

Ok adding on more runs. This is a good sign.

amoeba - September 2, 2010 reply

Wonder if we can get some cheesesteak tacos out of this?

One more to go!

amoeba - September 2, 2010 reply

Do we have to score 14?

I totally read that as "cheesecake tacos."

Oh Deeeeeeeeeeex...

Me twooooo

me too...and felt a little bit ill

ever have the choco taco?

oh yeah so good

Taco shells kind of look like hot dog buns

So I’m not surprised.

I figured "taco shell" was just Spanish for "hot dog bun"

ok, somehow my brain processed that as

“taco shells look like used hot dog buns”

i was scared.

this is true...

hot dog tacos are really good.

That would be hot dogs in a taco shell.

Not tacos in a hot dog bun, eh?

Hot dogs in a taco shell

or in a soft taco shell.

Also hot dog breakfast burritos are really good.

yes, but somehow my brain went to corn tortillas...not choco tacos..

I could see where that would be a problem

I’d love a cheesecake (choco)taco! my metabolism would disagree, though…

I think I need to eat dinner before I eat something I regret later.

hot dogs!

Actually... there are some languishing in our refrigerator right now.

I’m quite sure you’ve never experienced a languishing hot dog in your life.

They don't even know what hit them

let alone have time to languish

I have four different brands

of hot dogs in my freezer right now.

But are they languishing????

My guess is that you just bought them today and are trying to decide which one’s for dinner tonight.

I've had them for a couple of weeks now...

Always buy extra when they are on sale :)

Me too....

And cheesecake tacos sound good. YUM!

about the momentum thing

...and we're in to the Philly bullpen

You are now free to run around the bases.

Dang.

Jack talking about the time change on Saturday. I’m going to be stuck with radio.

me too

back to old school baseball watching

I'm pretty sure the Fox game here is Angels/A's.

Boo.

noooo I don't believe it!

But it's the WORLD SERIES

…of crap

Seriously. Totally pointless.

Where? Inquiring minds in Phoenix want to know.

Bay Area.

Why is Tulo out there hurt when we have a healthy Herrera and Nelson warming the bench?

with this lead, I'm guessing he'll get pulled early

the game was too important to be missing his bat, though.

He would probably put up a heck of a fight

before not playing a game in September.

good q...

wouldn’t you rahter have Tulo over those other guys? I mean we aren’t mathematically out of it. I started typing this before i read Rox girl’s comment

I'd rather have a HEALTHY Tulo.

A RANGE-LIMITED BECAUSE OF HIS INJURY Tulo is another story

Outs, please

Got an hour before I'm leaving.

Should I walk the dogs?

Wow, Chacin's pitch count is really getting up there.

RoxnSox09 - September 2, 2010 reply

Its good for him.

Develops endurance

This is why we got Delcarmen

two more infield hits...

I don’t think we’ll have to worry about Chacin’s BABIP being labeled “unsustainable”.

Objection sustained.

:StandingOvationForChacin:

In my living room.

Dang it. CP toast. Needed to finish the 6th!

Thanks Jim

Nice work Chacin

Tulo made a great catch.

[snark] Olivo would have picked him off[/snark]

Just wanted to do it once.

yeah but

Olivo wouldn’t have hit that homer tonight ;)

I missed the homer.

Oh then you are TOTALLY not allowed to post on the game thread tonight.

See you tomorrow… :-P

not liking this situation right here. Belisle hasn't looked very sharp lately.

IAWTC

I'm guessing it's too high leverage for Tracy to trust anybody else.

He’s got trust issues when it comes to the pen.

Reynolds?

saving him for a Howard situation.

or Ibanez later, the Phillies have a lot of dangerous LHB’s.

Good call.

He’d be perfect for Utley, Howard, Ibanez

So, why go to Belisle right here?

He’s tired and needs a break, not to be used even more.

He's pitched more innings than any reliever in the league so far.

Not much faith in the rest of the BP?

That's gonna start a riot...

WTF Angel at 1B?!?

Bill Hahn

Angel Hahn? ;-p

JT tossed. This is a good spot. Good to see IMO.

Thank you, Jim

I’ve been waiting a long time to see that kind of advocacy.

And he TOTALLY FRICKING WENT

He swung at that

I think the argument was about it hitting the bat instead of his hand.

but if he went, it's a strike

you could read JT's lips. He definitely said "He swung at it". The issue was whether or not he swung.

The radio guys missed that, then.

Thank you for fighting Jim :D

Andrew Martin - September 2, 2010 via mobile reply

he did break the plane he just got hit before he did

or at least as he did

From the radio call

sounds like the argument was that it never hit him.

it hit him

why are you listening to the radio?

Because I'm at work.

I always forget about the time difference

sorry

No worries.

Plus it was an early start. I’m probably staying a tad later than I might have if it weren’t the middle of the game.

And the radio guys saw the replay, so I'm only going off what they said.

They didn’t think it hit him.

Totally hit his fingers.

lol

oh no, it hit him

but if you swing into it and it hits you, it’s a strike

Yeah, it was his swinging at it that put his hand in the way in the first place

Right, got it now.

The radio guys never mentioned the swinging issue.

WTF???

He didn't swing.

I’m glad Tracy fought, though.

Come on, Matty

a K would be HUGE here.

Unless you can induce a GIDP.

Like that?

Yup :-D

GIDP

What a huge DP there

Take that, Phartheads.

Yeah...those stupid Phans you could see as they showed Tracy arguing

need to STFD and STFU.

Bonus points for taking themselves back to Hell’s Anus where they belong.

Putting kids to bed.

Thank, God for the DP.

Amen.

I like most of their reporting, but wouldn't go that far

oh, you meant double play – yeah thank god!

Rock Oax - September 2, 2010 reply

Ha! Denver Post . . .

Way to go, Matt!

OOOOO

A Chris Nelson sighting

C'mon Chris...

give us a welcome back present.
Like that…

Well placed :-)

Bastardo. ::snicker::

hee hee

Oh, strike zone goes to the shins now?

It breathes...like cell coverage

Come on, Nelson...

YEE-HAW!!!

Chris Nelson bloop single

WOOHOO!

Choke on that for a while Victorino…you flippin’ tool.

Lil' EY!!

I... got nothin' on that one. LOLPHILS

Bad bunt...

…which works because of the PHI Metball!

I'll take it

…and I bet Philly fans would be MAD at being compared to the Mets (which makes it that much better)

I will so take it

but feel bad for the mets

HAHAHA

Philies

Can we please break this open now?

Don’t let the Phillies hang around! Step on their throats!

YES YES YES

This

I want to crush them

EY Jr.

He fast.

The Bermuda Triangle

Now coming to an INFIELD near you!

Delayed call by Bill Hahn there.

Rockies definitely got a sorta makeup call there.

it was hard to tell

no replay?

Actually, on replay, I can see an argument for lack of control

but MAJOR judgement call that could have gone either way.

Oh, my...

…I thought Dex was out, not that it really matters…

HAHAHAHAHAHA Philies

HAHAHAHAHA Utley

Oh and from the Nelson AB

HAHAHAHAHA Victorino

I especially like this one

I despise Victorino

AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

C’mon…get your hick ass run, Cholly!!

Phall apart Phils!

Ha! Look at Charlie Manual try and run!

Dexter Fowler

He also fast.

Gotta say

Chutley’s handling this well. /looks for washcloth and soap

Oh, Dex SHOULD be out...they tagged him if nothing else...

he was out

i thought so.

I don't know exactly how yet but I'm sure Philly deserved it

It's Philly. No other justification is necessary

Oh yes I remember

That Marlin game where they lost on the “walkoff double” down the line that was called foul and they won in extras.

Three fastest guys on the team on the bases right now

But maybe they can just jog home

(hint, hint)

Isn't CarGo #3 in that list?

…and he’s not on the bases YET…

I don't have their times, but I thought Nelson could fly, too.

More CarGo runs

CarGo Please do something good here...

that includes a base hit.

or even a walk.

A HR cut is not necessary here, Cargo. :)

Lets go CarGo!!

Unfortunately, back to the bench is not what we had in mind

Back to back HR swings

nonononononono

JUST. REACH. PLEASE.

Hey

Those Rockies guys are winning

Well, he's not perfect.

Yeah, he's done his share so far

…and he was only the first out, anyway

up to you, Tulo

DO A GOOD JOB PLEASE

Tulo help

Pleeeeeze!

There you go

CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP CLAPCLAPCLAPCLAP

TULO!

TULO!!!!!!

METBALL!

TACO!

Come on Tulo

We wan tacos!

WOOHOO METBALL!!!

and... we'll just have that run back, kthxbai

oh, and... TACOS!

I hereby order his appearance on the graph in the Game Wrap

who do you think I am?

Grant Bisbee?

You are the most awesome moderator there is, anywhere, anyplace, anytime.

And you love to keep us happy.

And we love you.

And you’re great.

And you like Yay Taco too, admit it.

Speed on the bases helps there, too.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

YOUR 2010 PHILADELPHIA METS!!

awwww,,, be nice.

Philadelphia Orioles.

Buck Showalter wishes Contemptuous Chipper upon you

Reccin Dis

I think that gave The Good Phight some bulletin board material right there. :)

Heh.

Time for a ToddBomb

I love this inning

This is the crap that usually happens to us

Come on, Toddfatha...

do good.

Bases-clearing double.

now.

Tulo might not be able to make it home

what does it say about us

that the teams above us are almost as bad defensively in key situations as us if not worse

It says...there's a CHANCE?

:) i think it says we should have played better D

and will have to if we turn that chance into a reality

Oh, there you go with your logic and stuff!

pretty weak swing there Todd

Oh, ugly swing, Todd...

WANT MORA RUNS

Soooo close

Darn it...

…JUST missed that one

Melvin Mora with the warning track power

Damn you, Ibanez

I think that's the slogan for this game

the body text, I mean.

Dang! Jerry had me going on that.

Just a little Mora on that one

It's very important that we don't allow Philly to score any runs this inning

Gotta keep the momentum

Okay, time to bathe and bed some kiddos

If we perform anything like we did when I was making dinner, I should come out to much happiness.

So with JT in the clubhouse, who's the messenger running back and forth between the clubhouse and the dugout?

You don't think he'll obey the spirit of the rules and let Runnells coach?

not so much

Meh, if JT were still running the team, Reynolds would be in as the first LHR...

…not Beimel

he could try a disguise a la Bobby Valentine

LOL

He could dress up as Dinger

Drew: "Maybe Jason Giambi's the new bench coach"

Can I say “God forbid” loudly enough?

GOD FORBID

we could do worse ;-p

Tom Runnells agrees.

Oh, so I leave for just a bit and all the fun stuff happens.

Well, that could've been worse, I guess

If EY had been ready to make a sweep tag after getting that throw...

…Polanco would have been out at 2B

ugh, really?

Hawpe had Polanco out at home

Yes, but he doesn't hit anymore like Smith

Oh, wait…

Matt and Joe both scuffling a bit tonight

That's Little League stuff there, Smitty

You don’t even see that in Williamsport.

I have a bad feeling that 7 runs is not going to be enough to win this game

we have last at bat, right?

Will take a football score to win

How apropos.

:-P

CDI is overruling his bat tonight

Come on now

We’re not the Braves.

Hey, this isn't how it was supposed to work!

Damn you Ryan Howard!

I absolutely HATE the roar from the crowd I just heard

crap

I hate the Philies

rec'd

lol

I’m throwing things at our bull pen

So I guess putting in Beimel to face Howard back in theplayoffs would've been a bad idea, huh?

This tired version of Beimel, yes

What's really funny is that this is completely not a LOLCOORZ day

It feels like fall!

it's felt that way all day.

yep :-)

I like

Scoring always seems to spike in September

Although I think one year it was because the humidor was in need of repairs.

you think it might have anything to do with a bunch of AAA pitchers getting called up?

Philies get no hit for the first 3.2 inning and now have at least one run in every inning since

That must end.

NOW.

http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N17773

Rockies flight plan says they're leaving at 9 PM

Uh, I think they were planning on a lower-scoring game.

oops.

don't think they'll make that flight unless it's a charter

It is a charter.

Isn't that about the latest that you can legally leave Denver for SD thanks to that stupid overnight closure rule?

Arrivals are OK 24 hours per day

It’s just departures that are disallowed after 11:30 (I think) due to noise restrictions.

No. Flights can land later than 11:30.

However, they cannot take off without incurring a penalty.

I would love to know how/why you double post so much

I mean, I like you and all, but…

I do it just too purposefully piss you and every one else off.

If I knew what I was doing, don’t you think I’d stop doing it??

OOOOOPS sorry

I obviously stepped into one there.

What browser do you use? Wondering if a different browser might help?

I think it's my internet connection. I've had trouble with it dropping out..

IDK about you all

but del Carmen makes me think of the song “Habanera.”

I should also mention

I HATE THE SONG HABANERA

not what I'm thinking right now.

:(

sigh.

Welcome to Colorado, Manny

Now, um…

Well, crap.

that was kind of a meatball.

bah. I should have let my kids stay up.

this could be

legitimately it if we don’t win

Dear Jayson:

you’re no Tulo.

Hey

An out

Woo!

I leave for 10 minutes

What happened?

Bullpen crapped the bed

Bullpen needs some immodium.

imodium, even.

Wheels. They fell off.

wait another 10

Crap.

Good News:

I am going out for drinks.

Bad News:

It’s right across the street from Coors Field. :/

Good news -- the crowd won't be there when you arrive because the game will last another few hours?

where let us non Denver people

live vicariously through you

Jackson's

right across from the home plate entrance.

oh yeah not my favorite place but good

Well....

(whisper) It’s $10 all you can drink (whisper)

Yeah, good food.

I like $10 dollar all you can drink places!!!!! sorry supposed to be whispering

Sing Journey. LOUDLY.

Maybe the Rockies will hear me

and BELIEVE!

HOLD ON TO THAT FEEEEEEEELIIIIIN'

WHOOOOOO-O-OAAAAAAAA!

DOOOOOOOOONT STOP!

SHAAAADOWWWWS

SEAAAARCHIN in the NIIIIIIII-III-IIIGHHT

Is that chant "Let's go Brian"?

Does Delcarmen ever get DPs?

Well at least he's keeping the ball down now

I should have gone to bed about two hours ago.......

………now I am just going to have to see this through to its inevitable conclusion. No less painful from several thousand miles away.

why do you assume we are going to lose?

lets end the inning

So apparently John Smoltz has been spending time with Jon Miller

Renck is predicting

either a dramatic ending

or a bench-clearing brawl.

why can't we have both?

I approve of this plan :-D

Is it sad

That I want the latter?

I vote for both

lol this game is a circus

so many sloppy plays

Not a big fan of Manny so far.

Looks like Manny replace Manny just fine

I hate the Phillies with the fire of every sun in every universe X infinity

Oh, Lord, Delcarmen can't get anyone...

…Reynolds please?

will this inning from hell ever end

As Spilly might say.....

….sometimes I feel I’ve got to…….run away

So much for trades.

That wasn't a good appearance.

But I’m not going to judge the trade just on that, especially since he probably hasn’t much time to work with Apodaca yet (or our catchers).

agree

Damn you BABIP

please pull him

So how much more singles is this guy going to give up before you do anything about it?

that was enough

I proudly supported the trade, but Coors is a tough place to make a debut

esp in that situation

but still, ugh! and wasn’t there someone else we could’ve put in there?

You'd rather see Deduno?

This really seems like a complete and total bullpen fail.

Regardless of which arm is on the mound.

A point

she has it

It definitely seems to be one of those situations

where no pitching move is the right move. They must have all passed around the bad pitching flu today.

Deduno's pitched to two batters so far

I’m not sure how he’s earning the vitriol.

yes but we had to use him

At least we can take solace in the fact

that we’re in Coors and the Phillies bullpen is awful.

we're very much still in this thing

Our bullpen ain't exactly pulling its weight either.

Nowhere to go but up, Delcarmen.

So MLB Network

doesn’t show any highlights of the Rockies game until the Phillies made their comeback.

I has disappoint in MLB Network

I has a

WHY AM I NOT SURPRISED.

I would be...it's MLBN, not the East coast SPorts Network...

Because it's not ESPN?

To be fair, blowouts are a bit boring.

The game just got more interesting as a baseball viewer.

What are you? A producer...(I'm kidding)

I wish I could produce baseball games.

I’d make the Rockies win every time.

Wow has this inning sucked

So I had to reboot my PC and missed Tracy being ejected. dammit

What happened to the music on Gameday audio?

The silence is disconcerting. I keep thinking it’s not working.

From 6-3 up with bases loaded and nobody out.....

…to this. Dreadful.

its just not our year, oh that was foul

Our year? Is this the last game?

If we lose

it’s the last meaningful one

So wait we just became mathematically eliminated by losing if the you know we do lose?

Not mathematically eliminated

But we’re realistically eliminated with an L tonight

Oh give me a break.

We've said that a million times this season.

At one point it will be true, but I’m not going to be ready to say that after this game.

sorry folks baseball is a harsh mistress

this is it, last night was probably it. The season is over it’s not a matter of mathematics, we are done and that is the final fact. It hurts, it sucks beyond believe, but it’s over. The great thing about baseball, that transcendence the human condition, is that there is always next year :)

Sigh.

Well, have a good evening then, we'll see you in October

or whenever the hot stove league starts. Please allow the people still holding hope their optimism. Purple Row’s better if we have both types of fans here.

oh you are part of the same kind of sarcasm

and you would miss me

actually you probally wouldn't miss me

but I’m hanging around anyway

this is true

well, except for your college affiliation. I actually meant this comment as a general note to everybody laying the season to rest to lay off trying to convert those that haven’t yet.

I read the harsh mistress post on MCC

thinking others would possibly understand i was commenting on it. Clearly that was stupid. Then chase hit a hr and i was pissed so I added the human condition there’s always next year part.

or as it seems the next inning

Might as well be if we lose it

i love your optimism I really do

and I wish I could participate in it, but this is an incredibly important game and the comment didn’t say the year was over it just said we have not been overly lucky this year.

Delcarmen will be fine. Just give him a bit of time to work with Dac on his delivery and with Spilly on his beard.

but really, should the new guy have been put in in a critical time in a critical game?

DAWNMARIE01 - September 2, 2010 via mobile reply

Yeaaaah...

…Matty, don’t throw what you did for that foul again…

Can't get too much worse than this

This is a strong case for worst inning of the year

are you kidding me please please please let this inning end

it seems to metaphorically represent our season

Well at least it was hit hard enough so another run didnt score

siddown!!! 2 out finally!

Gutsy.

Chase now please Mr Reynolds

Chase the verb or Chase the name?

Ha, Drew... be honest

in the Phils lineup you’re never out of the woods.

Squeezing the rookie.

I will be very impressed with Reynolds if he gets Utley here

It’s pretty hard to get through the top of this lineup and not let an inherited runner score

This could get really ugly

Correction. "Did"

it just did

Its already really ugly.

I suppose it could get worse though.

Well. This inning happened.

Oh boy

Well, you knew Reynolds would have to give up a HR eventually, but you hoped it wouldn't be THEN...

This one’s over

Jeepers.

Uh well, I hate to cut out on you all but…

HASTA! I am off to do fun things!

O_O

I hate you, Chutley.

probably not for long, as you’re the least hatable on that team

But I HATE YOU.

We are done....

See you next year, folks.

Bye

I’ve got a few more Rockies games to watch.

There's the season folks

Hate to be that way, but we just have not done enough on the road and a game like this is a must win.

it's not even the game, really

a lot can happen in nine outs. Rox have done a lot more in less than three.

Season. Over.

How long until Opening Day 2011?

I know people have said this many times this season but I really feel like it the truth this time

It really does, but I am still excited for 2011!

2011 will be awesome.

So will 2012. Probably a couple years after that, too.

But I’m still on 2010, playoffs or no playoffs.

210 days till' April

I want to cry right now

DON’T ANYBODY DARE COUNT! ITS NOT RIGHT TO COUNT BEFORE THE LAST GAME IS PLAYED!!!!

prettyinpurple - September 2, 2010 via mobile reply

Well, that was one batter too late.

Man, I guess Tracy getting tossed had a pretty negative effect

Remember when it was supposed to you know, spark this team?

I just got home

guess I wont bother turning on the game

Rockies fans leaving the stadium in the 7th inning?

Are you KIDDING ME?

Yes, they had a REALLY BAD INNING but are you REALLY going to leave the field? COME ON NOW!!!!!

(This is COORS FIELD btw)

I hate to say it,

but that probably put the 2010 season to bed

I'm okay with a "probably."

I’m not okay with declarations of fact.

Never say never

Well, let's put it this way...

…they can now afford to lose 3 games all rest of the year.

Do you think they can pull that off?

Another unfactual declaration of fact.

Yes. They have before.

21-22

I really, really hate to agree but with the way we've played the last 2 months

What point is there even in going to the playoffs?

DAWNMARIE01 - September 2, 2010 via mobile reply

Huh?

There’s always a point in going to the playoffs.

Of course.

Even if it means just extra baseball.

prettyinpurple - September 2, 2010 via mobile reply

WAS IT OVER WHEN THE GERMANS BOMBED PEARL HARBOR?

GERMANS?

GERMANS?

forget it. he's on a roll.

Rockies bullpen is an absolute travesty tonight...

WAT!

I TURN ON THE RADIO AND HEAR SCHEMMEL GET ALL EXCITED, BUT ITS THE STUPID GODDANG PHILLIES WHO HIT IT????

GAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Whose fault is it? No really

prettyinpurple - September 2, 2010 via mobile reply

The bullpen.

All of them.

sheesh

But not Huston, right? ; )

prettyinpurple - September 2, 2010 via mobile reply

nope, it'll take a lot for us to see him tonight.

If he had gotten on the mound, probably him too.

It was that kind of inning.

Dinger.

Let's bar-b-que him for the post game meal

NOM NOM NOM

Tastes like ~~chicken~~ ass.

That sucks

But it just one bad game, they happen. Move on.

mkorpal - September 2, 2010 via mobile reply

But it's not just one bad game

This is just another in a long line of bad games

There are 9 outs still people

And with this Phillies bullpen, we’re just as damned capable of putting up 7 runs in an inning, especially at Coors, and we all know it.

Wow

Delcarmen has an ERA of 108.00, not cool

oh well. I couldn't care less about his ERA

I care about a Rox comeback. That is all.

That's only because stats reset when you change leagues

i know, its just funny

to see sure a ridulous number

SSS

(couldn’t resist)

Bye bye season.

3am GMT. Can’t face any more. Please tell me I’ll wake up in five hours and it will all have been a bad dream…..

That may just be the case, actually

WE on fangraphs went from 96 to 5 in less than an inning....

avsrock90 - September 2, 2010 via mobile reply

Ouch

wow,

Near homer for Seth!

prettyinpurple - September 2, 2010 via mobile reply

Well that's a start!

i am actually not that mad right now

i told my self a few weeks ago i will not live and die by every game and if they make the playoffs then so be it i will be ecstatic but i am not going to expect it….and tonight may be the icing on the cake

TuLoRocks2008 - September 2, 2010 reply

Comeback is ON

BOOK IT. YOU CANT KEEP US DOWN.

Told you all

come on, guys

papercuts. lots of them.

whats the score my computer is acting up

luck - suck, Phils

How can we get back into this game?

This question needs an ANSWER…

how about a 9 run inning

for us this time

I will take a 5 run inning

as a consolation prize

I guess I could settle

for 6

I approve of this plan :-D

EL RESPUERTO

Down by 4 with 8 outs left.

need 1/2 run per out... ;-p

Yeah Beotches

We be coming back

YEAH HERRERA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, maybe all this "Season Over" stuff was premature

just to look for a personal silver lining

I have both Utley and Howard in my fantasy lineup…

I’ll keep watching, Rockies.

jasonwrites - September 2, 2010 reply

After so many false dawns...

Is this the game that finally lays hope to rest?

Since1993 - September 2, 2010 reply

Nope

It’ll be the one that reawakens the hope for the 5 millionth time

CHEESECAKE!!!!!!

Nice to see Victorino can't field CF...

I'm actually very impressed with the offense tonight

but our bullpen is just shot right now. You have to wonder if the overusage is finally catching up with them. I mean where do we go right now, no one, other than Street is pitching all that well.

I loved that screaming fan :-D

Holy crap

We all thought he caught that.

I would like another order of cheesecake, please.

It’s delicious.

Gotta go.

Don’t want to stay another hour for the next train.

C’mon, comeback!

Later!

Hope your ride's a good luck charm :-D

check in when you get home. We'll be in the 13th.

12-10

Okay, RALLY CAPS LOCK

I'M DOWN WITH THAT

!2 !0

prettyinpurple - September 2, 2010 via mobile reply

YEAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Wow...who knew the bath period would be so eventful???

Look

We can’t be stopped.

Comeback????

Keep em comin’ boys….

OK, so I'm here screaming my fool head off...

then realize our windows are open…

I'm sure Nancy would understand. :)

Mickey and Junior, maybe not so much.

This is what we call a good old fashioned Coors slugfest

who unplugged the humidor ;)

Paxtin - September 2, 2010 via mobile reply

Jon Miller

YEAH FOWLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Two orders of cheesecake were delicious.

Now I’d like to take it in my CAR to GO.

yes my extreme negativism finally worked.

CarGo REALLY wants to tie this up right now

Should we call back all those folks who left at the half inning?

Rutabaga - September 2, 2010 reply

STOP TRYING TO PULL THE PITCH FROM THE RH BATTER'S BOX!

Even you can’t do that!

THIS INNING

NEEDZ MOAR LAZOR

AND BY THE TIME IT POSTS, HE'S OUT :-(

Dang. Cargo strikes out.

GOOOOOOOO TULOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

prettyinpurple - September 2, 2010 via mobile reply

This is sort of like football

We need to keep their offense off the field.

Two horribly anxious ABs from CarGo.

Come on Rox, I’m still here.

CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP CLAPCLAPCLAPCLAP

TULO!

JINX!

Two more shots at it.

"Its a wild one"

prettyinpurple - September 2, 2010 via mobile reply

EFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

ok so what's the rule on rally caps when the other team's up?

I’ve heard it both ways…

IN YOUR LAP

I'm playing it safe.

/flips through rule book

/getting up in front of people in middle of inning….nope
/murdering mascot…nope
/ on cell phone while you think camera is pointing your way….nope
/participating in wave….nope
/rally caps when your team is hitting….nope

Sorry, couldn’t find it.

Dont do it.

That’s my rule. It helps them.

Also, rally towels.

prettyinpurple - September 2, 2010 via mobile reply

OK. Good comeback. Hey bullpen, gotta hold it right here. Okay? Okay!

THIS

No pressure, Betancourt.

You’d have to go some to be worse than what preceded you.

Bet will lock it down

My Man!!!

I'm thinking he might throw a fastball or two.

he might adjust his hat as well

and sort of kick around the mound a little.

...and we can order a pizza from Shiva Hut and have it delivered in that time

maybe look at the catcher.

and keep looking that catcher…

…ooh ooh! Now he can throw to first, too!

or second...

Hawaii’s a stupid state.

2 outs

Those last 2 ABs by Cargo were terrible

what is he thinking about over swinging like that? Just try to make contact and hit the ball

And with him, we KNOW he was taking HR cuts..

…the proof is that he tried to pull a ball in the opposite batter’s box

Ugh. Bermuda Triangle

Bermuda Triangle giveth, Bermuda Triangle taketh away...

If they didn't eat so much cheesecake, they could have gotten to that.

NICE JOB BETTY!

GO GET THEM, BOYS!!!!!!!

prettyinpurple - September 2, 2010 via mobile reply

Nobody likes my cheesecake posts... :-(

Nope

Honestly, I've been so in and out of this thread that I barely know what they're about

That and I’m not the world’s biggest cheesecake fan. :)

Dex tweeted

About him and EY2 going to Cheesecake Factory last night to discuss things

Oh...I DID see that tweet

Now I feel REALLY dumb for not making the connection.

Especially with that place’s portions, I’m surprised they can move.

you don't have to be the biggest cheesecake fan....just a cheesecake fan.

Honestly, folks... you are really Rockies fans?

Dex tweeted this last night after the game…

At the cheesecake factory in SF wit my guy @EYJr…discussing somethings that need to be discussed! :-|

And we had a nice discussion about it in the game wrap.

But I won’t take it personally.

I did see the tweet, but not until this afternoon and promptly forgot about it

I also wasn’t around for the game thread or the wrap last night.

okay back to RALLY CAPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Need a runner on base first, though

Okay, okay

Well, at least Betancourt seems to be immune

to the Meatball Pneumonia and the Sucky Pitching Flu

well 3 more runs this inning

would be nice….7 or 10 would be better lol

TuLoRocks2008 - September 2, 2010 reply

Come on Todd, please get on base.....

…..your Rockies need you.

I'm making a not so bold prediction

We’re only making 3 more outs in this game

Actually that's pretty bold.

But I like it.

Barmes pinch hitting?

uhhhhhh

at first I thought this said Barmes pitching... :-\

I heard he has a nice breaking ball

or is that Mora?

Mora says his stuff is nasty :-D

Especially when it's been sitting out for a few days

Complaint fail.

Or pinch-walking

That, I’ll take.

Come on, Barmes!

good job Barmey. Now it's Spilly-time.

Nice walk Barmes!

Barmie...

…walks?!?

Dogs, cats, etc…

Andrew T. Fisher - September 2, 2010 reply

At least we aren't fans of a boring team

Maybe that’s why GasLampBall is boring

DO THIS GUYS

YES! WALK!

CMON SPILLLLLYYYYYY!!!!

prettyinpurple - September 2, 2010 via mobile reply

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT CONTRERAS!!!!

MUST. LIGHT. HIM. UP.

HISTORY NOT ON OUR SIDE.

BUT WHO CARES ABOUT HISTORY?

WE HAVE GERMANS BOMBING PEARL HARBOR, SO ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN!

AND BARMES WALKING...

I'm kinda liking this base on balls thing

Tie it up Spilly

Cholly telling the BP to put down the binoculars

Y'know, I'll bet they WERE stealing signs again...

I'm sure they were

It’s the Phillies. It’s what they do.

Spilly to hit for Smith wow

I’m not disagreeing or agreeing with the move well ok I agree with the move but it strikes me as different. whatever happens this is fun

BASEHITSPILLLLLLYYYYYYYY!!!!!

YEAH SPILLY

RYAN SPILBORGHS

OK CDI BRING OUT YOUR DOOM STICK

Nice

Time to show off our...

…DOOMSTICK

Does anyone else feel another 3 run homer from DOOM is coming

crush it CDI-

come on boys

CDI has been a hero before...

DO IT!

OK, Doom, we only need the hit, not the HR...

…dial it back a notch

OK Chris. Just a solid AB here. Just make contact.

A TWO FIELD GOAL NIGHT COMING FOR CDI

CDI

another 3-run jack would be great, but I’ll just be happy with a reach

me too

AGREED.

SEE BALL. HIT BALL.

LET BALL FALL WHERE IT MAY.

INTO VICTORINO'S GLOVE WAS NOT MY CHOICE

WIN IT HERE, GIAMBINO!!!

8TH INNING

BUT GET THE LEAD HERE WOULD WORK TOO

IT'S AN EXPRESSION ;-)

PLEASE DO GOOD BOYS

BOOTH HAD BEEN READING PR

WUT?

SAYIN ROX WAS LIKE COASTER AT ELITCHES

OH THAT WAS TOTALLY A REFERENCE TO ME, I KNOW IT

omen?

GAH

2 OUTS

prettyinpurple - September 2, 2010 via mobile reply

I don't like this PH decision AT ALL...

you will if he puts it in the 2nd deck

What?

Why?

We should still be trying to get men on, not necessarily playing Weaverball

Giambi

.397 OBP this season. And Herrera is great in the clutch

Wait, nevermind. Got confused with roster spots

Oohhhhh just under than one Chris

GIAMBI

WIN IT HERE

NOW

RALLY CAPS LOCK

ENGAGED

Giambino! come on boys

This AB is why Giambi is stll with the team.

WHO THINKS THAT THONG GETS AN UIBB AND WE WISH WE STILL HAD HIM AVAILABLE AFTER 'HERRERA'S' SPOT?

THEN I HAVE FAITH IN LITTLE JON TO GET A BASES CLEARING DOUBLE

HERRERA GOT PULLED FOR GIAMBI...

…IT’S EY’S SPOT HERE

THREE RUN POPUP PART 2

/4

Oh golly

“Huston Street to work the 9th”

prettyinpurple - September 2, 2010 via mobile reply

COME ON COME ON!!!

prettyinpurple - September 2, 2010 via mobile reply

Great AB, Thongbino!

...er, great PA

D’oh!

I HEAR THAT CHEESECAKE HAS LOTS OF CARBS IN IT

AND IT’S BEEN A FEW HOURS SINCE HE ATE IT, SO….

OK, base knock ties this puppy up. Come on EY.

My Man.

PLEASE EY PLEASE DO GOOD

I THINK I’M GONNA HURL

come on ey

ESMIL ROGERS PINCH RUNNING AT FIRST

LETS DO THIS

Why hasn't Cook been activated, when you can have all 40 men on your roster active?!?

Oh, good evening Esmil.

come on now get it done ey

NOW OR...

NEXT INNING, GUYS!!!

ok, so, next inning then.

I'm actually really nervous right now...:/

RIGHT in the glove...

…ouch

DAMMIT EY

It's not like he struck out or popped up

He put the bat on the ball, pretty square. 1/30th of a second later on the swing and it would have been up the middle and scored two.

I know...it was more just frustration with the situation

left the bases loaded twice tonight....not good.

It will make the 9th inning comeback that much more soul-crushing.

+1

crap

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Yeesh.

gah ugghh ugghh gah

I predict a walkoff Tulo homer.
Yeah, I said it.

prettyinpurple - September 2, 2010 via mobile reply

I realllllllllly hope your right

Just quick and over with.

Is that possible?

I’ve totally lost track of the lineup…

Fowler/CarGo/Tulo up in the 9th

ok, so yes

I approve of this plan. :-D

think we need a 9th inning overflow

couldn't make it in time. I'll put it up for the bottom half.

My, somebody has a Rockies-esque flair for drama... ;-)

actually, got caught up trying to moderate

and couldn’t put it up in time for this half inning, either. Just know that it exists, and is shedding it’s mojo on the thread.

works for me

Will Lidge pitch?

Gosh, I hope so...

yay

Come on, Rox...

No insurance for the Phils!!!

/hums Huston’s music

CORRECTION:

/pip seeing pretty PURPLE hearts

I hate red.

prettyinpurple - September 2, 2010 via mobile reply

OOOOPS

COLOR FAIL SORRY :-$

This is a tad bit unusual

Huston with two runs down.

But bullpen gassed. Extras would be a really bad thing tonight.

Darn it

I need to pee and can’t tear myself away…

TMI

The ultimate test of fanhood

I hear that NASA has something you can use.

ROFL

What an insane game.

if we win this

it will be one of the greatest games I have ever seen,

I don't know

its a pretty sloppy game all around

And I did see the playin game

So, it has some pretty stiff competition.

okay good point

one of the funnest games I have ever seen

Don't nibble, Huston...

It's his favoirte thing to do

EY =. Willy T.

I'm not sure why we didn't pitch hit for him

he isn’t exactly a threat with the bat

I'M not sure why we didn't save Giambi for him...

…and leave Herrera in the ballgame

I can get behind this

but with whom?

oh come on. It's nearly 4am now. Please tell me this isn't all for nothing.....

It never is :-D

K

One down

Strike out! yeah!

TIME FOR A PATENTED LIDGE MELTDOWN (TM)

I APPROVE OF THIS PLAN :-D

Give up the EY experiment...

At least Barmes can play D. Thoroughly unimpessed with EY. Even Nelson would be better.

THIS IS NOT THE TIME FOR NEGATIVITY, THANK YOU.

IAWTC

Thanks for all your caps.

I believe they're just rally caps

This is it.

The biggest half inning of the season. Come on.

Let's hope the announcers are jinxing Lidge...

I HEREBY APPROVE RALLY CAPS WITHOUT RUNNERS ON BASE

Ball one.
