<-------------------------

Damn I'm almost nervous. Last year I could barely talk. It's playoff baseball time!

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Pitchers duel? Please no.

Connie Francis is dealin'.

 

[Sonny Lubick Blowup Doll]

Is there an unofficial thread, good Dr.?

 

[ffldrew]

Thats the kind of start that has been missing from Francis' last few games.

I hope he's dialed in.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Is there an unofficial thread, good Dr.?

I'd like to think so.

 

[Please See Mine]

Is that right? Francis struck out the side, 3 up, 3 down?

 

[Sonny Lubick Blowup Doll]

Is that right? Francis struck out the side, 3 up, 3 down?

Yep, after starting off Rollins 3 n' 0.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Todd Helton with a triple in a "non triples park." Note to self for argument later. icksuppen:

 

[Green94]

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Damn, Hamels 3 walks including walking a runner home.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Big K by Hamels there with the bases juiced and Holliday up. Going down 5 or 6 this early would hurt a little.

 

[belljr]

not a good start here

 

[The_Man]

Pretty cool for Helton to triple in his first post-season at-bat after waiting a decade to play in October.

 

[Sonny Lubick Blowup Doll]

Holliday crushes the first pitch out of the ballpark, literally. Just foul, however. It actually went over the fair pole...as in you couldn't tell where it crossed it was so high....

Then he strikes him out. Threw over 40 pitches.

 

[belljr]

howard will go yard

 

[Sonny Lubick Blowup Doll]

agree, great start.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Pretty cool for Helton to triple in his first post-season at-bat after waiting a decade to play in October.

I said it before the season started, but all the talk of his demise was way overblown.

 

[belljr]

or not

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Well his power is WAY down and his salary is high...His OBP is always .400+ and was a robust .434 this year...He's still a productive hitter, but he's declining and still getting paid based on his performance from 4+ years ago

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Francis a Yankees Fan growing up?

 

[Mesmashu]

Francis 8-0 in day games.

 

[Mesmashu]

I'm so f'n excited! Can't believe we made it here!

 

[Doctor Detroit]

I'm so f'n excited! Can't believe we made it here!

If they can get to the late innings with the game close I like the match-up with their bullpen vs the Phillies bullpen. Both these teams are gonna hit, but the bullpens will probably decide two games at least in this series.

 

[Sonny Lubick Blowup Doll]

Francis a Yankees Fan growing up?

Ah, that's where that was from... That thread in your sig is all-time, by the way. Nice work in the truck, guy.

 

[Please See Mine]

Well, top of the 3rd seems to have been a lot better for Hamels.

 

[posty]

Lets go Rockies...

 

[Mesmashu]

damn pitchers...

 

[Deranged Hermit]

The ump is reeeeaaaallly squeezing Hamels. I counted at least 5 pitches in the first inning that should have been strikes and would have gotten the Phils out of that inning with a lot less damage.

Check out the Mets thread. I'm faaaaaaaaarrrrr from a Phillies homer. The only teams I hate more are the Yankees and Braves.

 

[rascal]

Hamels is getting dialed in.

He's thrown 83 pitches though in the first four innings so he may not last much longer.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Effing Francis is mowing them down. I've never seen this guy pitch, guess this was a good time to start. I gotta start betting these games.

 

[Please See Mine]

Utley and Howard coming up real big today.

 

[rascal]

Francis gets dogged because he plays in Colorado, but the guy has been solid all year.

Wait till people see Jimenez pitch if he is on. Kids got a 100 MPH fastball.

Agreed...Jimenez is filthy.

 

[rascal]

Come on Rocks. You need to make Hamels throw more then 4 pitches in an inning.

 

[Green94]

Rowand with a homer.

[Doctor Detroit]

Back to back Phiilie jacks. Nice. More runs please!

 

[Please See Mine]

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Back to back....outta here......

:confetti:

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Wes Helms? Really?

 

[Mesmashu]

thank god they were solo homers!

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Just checked the batter v pitcher report at br.com...

Apparently Helms was 6 for 9 with 5 ribbies and a homer against Francis coming into the game...

I was wondering why the hell the incredibly crappy Wes Helms was starting for Philly...Then I checked his career record against Jeff Francis and it was very good...

Gotcha. Thought he had done something.I was also surprised that they wouldn't go with Nunez for defense, but based the stats you put up, today seems like the best time to get Helms into a game.
