Open Thread: Phillies @ Rockies, Game 4

OK, Phils and Rockies, you are our last hope for an exciting series. Since 2004, there have been 12 first-round sweeps in 24 series' (counting the one that is still going on), and only 2 have gone the distance. Ugly.
Today's game features a rematch of Game 1 pitchers (Cliff Lee for the champs, Ubaldo Jiménez for Colorado).
The Phillies advance with a win, the Rockies try to extend their season.

Russell
He had a passer rating of over 91 in his last eight games last season, finishing the season with a 3-3 record with all six games being against teams that were at least .500. He looked fine in the preseason. If someone said they saw this coming, they’re lying because they had no evidence that this was going to happen.

I saw it coming.
We had a discussion about it if you recall. I’m a good judge of talent (for some unknown reason considering I’ve played less than 8 games of American Football) and can generally tell a good player when I see one. Russell isn’t a good player.

Russell
You saw it coming based on what? His good games down the stretch of last season is what led you to believe this? Was it his poor play in the preseason? Oh, that’s right. He didn’t play poorly then, either.
The Ultimate Opportunist
by Rated-R Superstar on Oct 12, 2009 5:40 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Search it, I'm positive I said he was rubbish way back when.
It’s his general play – the good play down the stretch last season was him managing a hugely scaled back offence. Couple that with rumours about a lack of work ethic and what I’ve seen with my own eyes and you come to the conclusion that he’s not a very good QB.

Scaled Back Offense
Well, yeah, of course it was scaled back. That was his first year as a starter.
The Ultimate Opportunist
by Rated-R Superstar on Oct 12, 2009 5:49 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
It was his second year in the system and the offence
was basically ‘scan that half of the field, throw it to option 1 or dump it off’. That’s a huge red flag for a second year player.

He missed all of training camp, preseason and the first half of the season due to his holdout. He was practically a rookie last season.

I called up my friend LeRoy on the phone
I said, Buddy, I’m afraid to be alone
‘Cause I got some weird ideas in my head
About things to do in Denver when you’re dead
I was working on a steak the other day
And I saw Waddy in the Rattlesnake Cafe
Dressed in black, tossing back a shot of rye
Finding things to do in Denver when you die
You won’t need a cab to find a priest
Maybe you should find a place to stay
Some place where they never change the sheets
And you just roll around Denver all day
LeRoy says there’s something you should know
Not everybody has a place to go
And home is just a place to hang your head
And dream of things to do in Denver when you’re dead
You won’t need a cab to find a priest
Maybe you should find a place to stay
Some place where they never change the sheets
And you just roll around Denver all day
You just roll around Denver all day

Here's why in the A's situation
its better to have wallace than cargon. It much easier in recent yrs for A’s to produce and find serviceable OFs either through draft or trade. Trading cargon looks worse due to the A’s treatment and use of cunningham/buck who i think can be solid/above avg type players if given a chance.
3b has been nothing the last 3 yrs and good 3b are scarce in the trade market. Also maybe blame the A’s for not making it a draft priority. Unless you want to resign kennedy or still have hannahan/baisley as the best options we’ve seen

Oh, well
I’ve got nothing against the Phillies. I just wanted more baseball.
Hope Huston is okay.

Damn...
Now I have to root for Philadelphia. Can’t I just root for injuries?

Not even injuries
to Jeter? A-Rod? Mike Sciocia?

Jeter has enough rings and A-Rod has enough money
I’m not rooting for them to be injured but I wouldn’t be upset if the DL gods picked on the yankees a little instead of the A’s.

maybe I want Scoscia to trip
going into the dugout and maybe tweak and ankle or something.
…but thats about it.
Maybe A-Rod can catch one in the ribs in some kind of late retailiation. That would be nice to see.

I was trying to think of what kind of injury I'd want for him......
only pain I could think of involved hemmoroids…..

Baseball wise
I think these are two of the best series matchups…
Yankees/Angels and Phillies/Dodgers?
Involves both coasts, big teams, I think it will be exciting.

Having a Freeway Series would the be worst possible scenario
I would have to pray for an earthquake. And I live in SoCal. Shit.

Never
Ever pray for an earthquake…if you live in California. I think you could be kicked out for that! ;)

So one thing I love about these series - is the games are close and see saw back and forth.
In my fannish way I think it means they are pretty evenly matched and either team could have won….the way it should be!

So who has the better chance of beating either the YANKEES OR Angels??

Dodgers I think
Stronger bullpen. That was the twins’ biggest failing.

I have not been terribly impressed with the Phillies bullpen. Just a gut feeling.

your probably right
But if Cliff Lee keeps pitching well the Phils won’t need a bullpen as much. He can’t pitch every game though.

He could concievably
pitch game 1 on Thursday.
But I’m hoping for Pedro. Did I just say that?

Pedro vs. Vicente Padilla. That would be funny.
