When my dad's father died, who lived in Marshall, Texas, we went and I got to talk to his house mate, an elderly gentleman who was a big league ball player who played against Babe Ruth. He told us some great stories about games and train rides, all of which time has washed away. Shitfick.

Possibly so. I strongly suspect that he's hurt the Angel of Doom, whose hammer is pretty good. He needs to be able to throw it in the dirt ahead in the count with runners on base.

Ok, so who, in their wildest dreams, would ever believe that John Mayberry would have a kid who would play centerfield in the majors?

Not I, boss.

Wallace strands the tying run by popping out to third. 4-3 through seven.

You're right. There's no better choice in a lineup that is chock full of 7 and 8 hitters, save Altuve.

Aaaaarggghhh. Your timing is impeccable. Wallace just popped out to end the inning with the tying run on 2nd.

Ron Brand · « **Reply #121 on:** September 13, 2012, 09:48:53 pm »

Ambriz is pitching.

I wonder if Wallace sees his major league dreams fading away.

Ron Brand · « **Reply #123 on:** September 13, 2012, 09:50:40 pm »

Of course, they could just trade him to Miami and his career will be rejuvenated.

Wallace is still susceptible to being pitched up and in. He's got to get over that, or he's a AAAA player.

Ruiz with an infield single in the hole.

Utley bounces out to Altuve.

If the Phightins hold on and win this one, a Rosenberg will be the winning pitcher. Wonder when was the last time that happened?

Apparently, the Phightins' pitcher tonight has a win this year already, despite an Astrosesque 11 ERA.

Would have been nice if Utley had actually tagged the runner there.

Holy shit, nice throw by the Phillie catcher to nail Schafer.

Naturally, it's followed by a walk that would have moved the runner to second anyway.

About the same time as H-bombs, Sugar Ray, and Panmujom.

Why run when the pitcher can't find home plate with a fucking GPS? Baseball 101. I hope that DeFrancesco isn't the permanent manager.

It should be 7-4. I hope that extra run doesn't come back to haunt us. I ain't exactly feeling comfortable with Lopez as the closer.

I haven't read the entire thread for tonight's game, so forgive me if this is cabrera'd, but I read somebody - Levine, I think - who said that there are now no former phillies on the astros roster and the only former astro on the phillies roster is Wiggy, who is many teams since removed. Amazing that Wade was the GM just last year. Ch-ch-changes.
