Lowe's not getting the low edge of the zone called on his sinkers. It's gonna be a long night if that's the way the zone's going to be called.

 

[T Bell]

Way to go, Lowe!

[Mr. Brownstone]

Standard Lowe right now.

Did you see Lowe, as he walked off the mound, look over at Furcal like, WTF with that arm man, nice.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

I've got to say that I've been pleasantly surprised at both the hustle and level of play Manny has shown in Dodger blue.

 

[T Bell]

Not good with Manny coming up . . .

 

[Eephus]

So much for the Phillies mantra

Furcal's got a cannon, and likes to show it off. He reminds of of Shawon Dunston in that regard.

 

[Billy Bats]

Yep gotta make that play, now Manny.

 

[Billy Bats]

Can someone take Tim McCarver out to pasture? Is he blind or drunk?

Phew big out.

 

[T Bell]

Yep gotta make that play, now Manny.

Hamels did a good job setting Manny up with those offspeed pitches.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

A little injury worry just crossed my mind there

 

[Goldminer1]

Casey Blake has the swing of an average national league pitcher...flat out ugly..

 

[T Bell]

Gotta love DeWitt - he's not always elegant looking but he produces. And six months out of Double A ball!

 

[Billy Bats]

C'mon Chase.

 

[T Bell]

Nomar makes Casey look like Griffey.

 

[Billy Bats]

Swing and a miss. Might be time to move him to 6th in the order and put Werth in the 3 hole.

 

[T Bell]

Dewitt used his barehanded experience from 3rd base there. :X

 

[Goldminer1]

Lowe looking very effective here early

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Blake DeWitt is a ball player.

 

[JaxBill]

I made it to the third inning before I had to mute those babbling buffoons.

I honestly don't know why I still leave McCarver on. I have complained about him every game I've ever watched like crazy.My favorite quote tonight from McCarver:"Normally Ruiz sucks those balls up":X

 

[T Bell]

Nice for the Dodgers to have the top of their batting order leading off for three of the first five innings.

 

[JaxBill]

You know it's not your night when you run two pitches in on the fists and the results are a bloop GR double and single to center.

 

[T Bell]

Are they trying to only sell this stupid Instinct phone to women?

 

[JaxBill]

Cole's hitting his stride but those two runs on the board look HUGE with the way Lowe is pitching.

 

[Goldminer1]

Are they trying to only sell this stupid Instinct phone to women?

No, Otis still hasn't bought one.

F'n base hit to the pitcher.

Base hit for the pitcher, a phrase that only NL fans get to enjoy......GDB the D.H. rule (which as a baseball nerd piece of trivia is actually allowed in the N.L., the N.L. just decides not to use it, the A.L. obviously choose to use it)

True, but that that double should have been a triple. And there was a passed ball after that...although I don't buy that crap that there would have been one (a passed ball) no matter what.Anyway, I've got to dvr this thing damn it (working), so I can watch it in its entirety. Gotta check out of the thread/internet until later. I shorted the Phillies (series), by the way.

 

[Goldminer1]

Utley HR 2-2

 

[Billy Bats]

CHASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok you can stay in the 3 hole.

 

[Billy Bats]

BURRELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Seeya Derek, thankfully.

 

[Green94]

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Chan Ho Park?

HTF did he have that good of a year?

 

[Gadfly]

Just a horrible error by Furcal. Lowe struggles to get through the fifth. Needs to get by the sixth and they'll pinch hit for him. Has the first out and Furcal throws it away to set up Lowe's downfall. 0-for-3 and a huge error for Furcal.

 

[Capella]

Torre got greedy, Lowe's sinker was dead and that's when he gets killed. That thing is a meatball when it doesn't get down.

He panicked with Victorino's speed and tried to get that throw away. Replay looks like he had plenty of time to set his feet and throw.

That's out of character for Furcal, who normally has great confidence in his arm, and rightfully so. Awful error.

Hamels is up near 100 pitches so they'll turn it over to the bullpen. Cholly lives and dies by the 100 pitch thing.

 

[Billy Bats]

I'd rather have Hamels bunt. Good lord.

 

[Billy Bats]

See what I mean.

What in gods sake is So Taguchi batting for?????? ####### Chollie.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Boy do I hate that bunt call

 

[T Bell]

Dewitt!

 

[JaxBill]

So much for tie goes to the runner.

 

[Billy Bats]

Boy do I hate that bunt call

Seriously. McCarver is correct on that one, the only way you bunt is if you're keeping Hamels in the game. If you're taking your ace out you go for more runs and bat the best pinch hitter in the NL this year. ####### stupid.
