GameDay says "Delayed (Ceremony)". I think that's the first time I've ever seen that. Anybody know what the ceremony is?
It's like Gary Coleman's fucking forearm. It's so black, so impossibly black.
3B Ump from Tuesday night is being forced to suck Ryan Howard's cock in apology.
They are presenting Roy Halliday with all this memorabilia from his perfect game from earlier this year. They were giving him so many gifts, it looked like the goddamn Price is Right! But I won't complain...Astros are on national TV!
They were giving him so many gifts, it looked like the goddamn Price is Right!
It is a huge deal.
Yeah, but a painting of Halliday? A bronze cast of his hand? A 'perfect game' necklace for his wife? I guess I haven't ever seen that type of pageantry after a no-hitter.
no hitters are fairly common...perfectos, not so much. the ceremony may be a little over the top, but the act was a big deal.
Utley nips Hernandez on the grounder. Mid 2, 2-0 Astros.
Astros running the picket fence on 'em.
I know it can get to be a grind, and I'm a big fan of Alyson Footer, but I'm tired of reading from her and hearing DoRay's oblique bitching about long games, few days off, etc. Many of us would kill to have their jobs.
Christ Almighty the Phils' broadcasters are a whiny bunch
I volunteer to put DoRay out of our misery.
don't get caught watching the paint dry...
Can you make it look like Milo did it please?
Even GameDay thinks that Pence is overrated.
Are they still whining about the umpires?
The locker room before the final game is one of my favorite scenes in any sports film, ever.
You can get GameDay to give you information? I've given up; it seems hopelessly wedged.
Pence grounds slowly to 2B.
They way DoRay described Lee's homer was as though it landed out of the park, not just rows up. I dislike their descriptive talk.
More than their ability to talk endlessly about everything but the game, what really drives me crazy is their decision to preach morality. Now it's that Lee is a different player since 'that incident after the All-Star game' and maybe some players sat him down and talked to him. Fuck you. Stick your goddamn morality up your ass and call the game.Lee did start to noticeably pick up his game but it was in June, and it was after a meeting with Mills. Fuck you, DoRay. Do your job and stop reaching to teach us life lessons.
Agreed, but I'm not exactly pining for the days of Alan Ashby, either.
I kinda liked Ashby
The whole "incident" comment rather set me off also. Almost like we know something but we can't share it with you. I have to admit I didn't know who was at-bat when Lee hit the homerun. I know I had just sat down to my desk again, but it took quite a while to find out Lee hit the ball.
I'm listening to the Phils broadcast. That tell anyone anything?ETA: By choice.
Ashby as color analyst: fair to middling.Ashby as PBP: terrible.
Tells me that I need to find a way around the blackout bullshit.
Of course, I'll be back at work in 15 minutes and relying on the GZ for my info. That should help my blood pressure, anyway.

Wandy's hit described as "hammered" and "crushed" by DoRay.
Phils announcers describing the tag on Wandy as "phantom". Bourn flyout.1111 4 8 0000 0 0 0
Phils guys said it was hit hard to the wall. I'm a little confused as to why he's only on 1st.
Hit it too hard, quickly bounced back to the RF.
That is an awsome box score. Let hope it keeps up.
Shhhh1111 4 8 00000 0 0 0
wasnt talking about 'That'. Was talking about 1111 0000
Either way, you fucked it up.Thanks, Gerry.
Either way Both ways, you fucked it up.
Golf clap.
The blind squirrel in RF finds the nut that is home plate.
How does Houston ever win a game with this mopey motherfucker in the lineup? It's like they are playing eight aginst nine. If the Astros could field a full team, they would be on their way to the World Series
I could see Howard getting the door for the Astros when they are ready to leave today.
Wandy Ks Howard (again...wow!), to end it.111100 4 9 0000001 1 4 0
Speaking of opening doors, to the shock of ones of people, former GOP Chairman Ken Mehlman is a hypocrite gay.
cool looks like old programing language.111100000001Hope the code breaks though.
Wandy Ks HowardHoward slow with the relay, it seems.
Manuel, of course, came out to bitch. Was there a game this series that he didn't do that?
Bourn scores from 2b on an infield hit??Show me the video!!
Yes. This.
oh boy, Wandy hurtedit...staying in the game though
Mills getting Fulchino up. That's how little he respects to Phils' offense right now.
So which team is in the playoff race again?
If we could stay here another week...
Fulchino could be a huge hero for getting 6 outs. Pen is dead
There's one. Swinging K.
There's two: Rollins ground out to 2B.
Phillies never swept in a 4-game series in CBP
2 Philles on after 2 quick outs. All DoRay's fault as they were congratualating Wandy on his 10th win.
Abad just wants to make sure he qualifies for a save.
He can't. But he could qualify someone else.
Quote from: Phils Radio GuysPhillies never swept in a 4-game series in CBP
The qualifying conditions have to hold when he enters, not just any time during his appearance?

I'm pretty sure the mere mention of a broom will doom the Astros to a loss today.
Great sweep!
Oh ye of little faith!
Is it called something special because it is 4 games.Golden Sweep?
now come on Pearland! 7pm ESPN.
I thought they had the 3pm game? I wonder if they worked on running the ball in to the mound.
Shouldn't that be the other way around?
Nope. I wrote the word "broom" before the game. I felt good about Wandy.
Yes. You can't pitch yourself into a save situation.
Hey, who are you and what have you done with Mr. Happy?
I occasionally get a good vibe. But then I snap out of it.
QuoteIt's like Gary Coleman's fucking forearm. It's so black, so impossibly black.
Okay, I can understand that, but you called for the broom... *early*.... for the Houston Astros? THE Houston Astros? Against the Phillies? THE Phillies? You know, the NL representative in last year's World Series... those Phillies. And by golly, you were so giddy that a team made up of Carlos LardAss Lee, Michael OneSeasonWonder Bourn, Tommy Can'tHitALickHeHasNoBusinessOnAMajorLeagueTeam Manzella.... those guys are the very guys who would sweep a four game series... again... against the Phillies!!!Homer!
Finally got around to seeing this movie over the weekend. Much funnier than I thought it'd be.
