Blanton
that’s the JoeyB I recognize… I figured he’d wait till the 5th before imploding.
"optimism 1 pessimism 0" ~Dirk
One long ball is hardly imploding.
Though there’s still time I suppose.
I'm here to talk about the past.
Me: “Mom, Crawford hit a home run!”
Mom: “Who?”
Me: “Uh, Babyface… Babyface hit a home run”
Mom: “Ohhhh! Good!”
Did we leave some people behind?
Awww… Unicorn's optimistic. And a cheeseball. That’s cute. ~Whiteshoes40
Crickets
Did everybody decide to eat all at the same time, or what?

then I caught on. Where is everybody!?!?!?!

so that’s why I’m a bit AWOL

"However, at Elias, I think they keep track of the amount of sunflower seeds spit in a dugout each night." - Brad Ziegler, 8/7/08
My strongest memory of the last Phillies World Series...
…is Mitch Williams, who was an implosion ready to happen every game.
I’ve never seen a closer who did a more consistently bad job for a winning team (other than Mitch Williams for the ’89 Cubs)

A story in the Philadelphia Inquirer today
talked about what a great job Iwamura has done moving from 3B to 2B. They also praised him for adapting from averaging 35 HR over his last 3 years in Japan into a leadoff guy (with 7HR and a .349 OBP this year).
I’m not sure why a .349 OBP was worth giving up 28 homers, but whatever.

Keep in mind - avg Blanton start this yr
6 (5.99) innings, 3 (3.12) ER. Mediocre yes, sucky, no.
With Oak this yr
6 1/3 (6.36) innings, 3.5 ER
True, but who ever pitches 9 innings?
3-4 runs in 6.33 IP is just about mediocre (never claimed Blanton was great)
But is it better than "almost average"?

Less drunk?
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
That hit reminds me to ask:
“Where the f*** has Aybar been all series while Gabe Gross and Ben Zobrist are in the lineup?”
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
Oh goody-goody, another pitching change
The game was going to fast for a true Fox post-season broadcast.

Me fears this AB coming up might be the series
Starting the 8th down at least four runs to Madsen and Lidge is ungood. A 3-run HR would be most unbad.

Next reliever gives up an RBI

That changeup was sick

Yup - and he threw it for a strike, too
Very “Keith Foulke when he was actually good.”

If Keith Foulke threw 95 mph

He threw 93MPH with the Giants and White Sox

That I started the season up at 5am to watch Blanton pitch in Japan, and now here we all sit watching him pitch in a WS AND seeing him hit his 1st Career HR

Earlier, my mom heard "Big fucking curveball"
where I believe Jon Miller said “Big breaking curveball.”
