Belliard with a single to left. Two on, one out.

We got a LOTTA ballgame left!

Hammels OUT of the game! Wow...

Chad Durbin in. Tying run in scoring position, one out in the bottom of the 6th. Russell Martin doubled earlier in the game...

Lined hard to right. Two out!

Jim Thome up to pinch hit. He was in Philly for a few years.

J.A. Happ, a lefty will come in to pitch.

Sorry for the postwhoring but where else can I get my ratio up so quickly?

Saburo · « **Reply #1083 on:** October 16, 2009, 04:33:09 AM »

Happ falls behind 3-1 to Thome...

Ball four, they're loaded up!

Long delay getting a pinch runner for Thome. People questioning the stalling tactic. However pitchers and batters delay and control the tempo. Why not a manager?

Happ falls behind 2-1 Dodgers best chance tonight to blow it open?

Furcal doesn't bite and it's a FULL COUNT!

Saburo · « **Reply #1086 on:** October 16, 2009, 04:38:10 AM »

Ground ball by Furcal to Utley at second. Three outs. OUCH!

Did I hear that Kuo had TWO (2) Tommy John surgeries?

He certainly leads Asia in that category...

Saburo · « **Reply #1088 on:** October 16, 2009, 04:47:05 AM »

I always thought these converted switch-hitters do better from the right side. Yet, Rollins and Victorino only have one hit between them for the game.

Utley has 24 HBP during the season!

Saburo · « **Reply #1089 on:** October 16, 2009, 04:50:09 AM »

Kuo finishes off Utley with high heat! Going to the bottom of the seventh!

Sooooo glad there's no suffocating "God Bless America" during the 7th inning stretch to squeeze the excitement out of a ballgame.

Saburo · « **Reply #1091 on:** October 16, 2009, 04:57:45 AM »

Leadoff double by Ethier to begin the 7th. Here comes the Philly bullpen trying to protect the one-run lead.

Saburo · « **Reply #1092 on:** October 16, 2009, 05:00:29 AM »

It's Chan Ho Park, rocking the playoff beard!

Manny strolls to the plate. What a moment!

Saburo · « **Reply #1093 on:** October 16, 2009, 05:03:33 AM »

Manny grounds out to third. Well, can't win 'em all!

Here's Kemp with two out...

Saburo · « **Reply #1094 on:** October 16, 2009, 05:06:10 AM »

Park is throwing 96?!!

Full count to Matt Kemp... Another 96MPH heater and Kemp swings through the high fastball!

Two out.

Casey Blake doesn't have good numbers with RISP. Swings at a breaking ball, 1-2.

Ground ball out to second. Utley lobbed it high but Howard snagged it. Still 5-4, Phillies.

Saburo · « **Reply #1096 on:** October 16, 2009, 05:17:15 AM »

George Sherrill replaces Kuo. And he walks Howard!

Werth walks, still no outs! Sherrill looks wild.

Raul Ibanez hits a loooooong, high flyball... OUT! 8-4 Phils!

Saburo · « **Reply #1097 on:** October 16, 2009, 05:21:01 AM »

That pitch was a fat, "breaking" pitch that didn't do much in the zone.

Rob Neyer's tweet says it all: George Sherrill sure picked a lousy time to remember that he's George Sherrill

Ruiz gets doubled off first on a flyball. But three-run dingers cover those boo-boos...

Saburo · « **Reply #1098 on:** October 16, 2009, 05:26:59 AM »

Madson in to pitch for Philly. Lidge in the 9th?

Loney starts the 8th with a single to center. Three for four on the night.

Belliard singles up the middle, his second hit. Now Russell Martin and then the pitcher spot.

Saburo · « **Reply #1099 on:** October 16, 2009, 05:28:34 AM »

Martin singles to left, Loney scores! Ball was thrown on the 3rd base side. 8-5.
