Phightins

Danys Baez is pitching the 9th inning of a tie game on the road, and predictably, he is about to lose it. Remind me to shut up if I complain about Charlie Manuel ever getting snubbed for manager of the year.

I laughed very hard @ "about his brian", FYI. <3

Harmon Killebrew died today.

I finally can put how awful the Phillies offense is into words. Wilson Valdez batting 2nd, Raul Ibanez batting third. So unreal.

Albert Pujols is starting at third base tonight.

It will actually be my favorite finals matchup in a long time. It will be a change of pace. The teams we are used to seeing there from the last 5-6 seasons or so will not be there. So I find it refreshing. If the Heat do not make it, it'd be perfect.

Oswalt activated, Worley optioned to AAA. What the [expletive]. Well, I guess it's good that Worley will get regular starts, but he's been very valuable in the Majors this season as a swing man. Just frustrating that Worley gets sent down while Kendrick and Baez remain on the roster.

Looking more and more like the Thrashers will be in Winnipeg next season. The most interesting part about this is the pending realignment. Columbus moves east? Nashville moves east? Detroit (gasp) moves east?

Activate Utley tomorrow, call up Brown, get Mayberry into the every day lineup. Thanks, goodnight.

Back to back complete game losses for Doc. <3 this offense.

Jose Bautista is good at hitting baseballs.

Rofl...Doc breaks two bats and induces an easy ground ball up the middle and the Braves still score at the end of this sequence. Have to get lucky to beat him I guess.

The Phillies are wearing my favorite uniform in the history of sports. They have to wear these more often...

He's getting ready. http://www.profilebrand.com/funny-pictures/category/sports/226_jesus-cleaning-bowling-ball.gif

The idea that some Laker fans are supporting this makes me laugh. 2 championships in 3 years, 4 in a decade, playoffs basically every year. Not good enough! Blow it up! Sixers get dibs on Gasol, btw.

Ruben Amaro's to-do list: 1) Call up Domonic Brown 2) Enroll Charlie Manuel in "Bullpen Management 101" 3) Remove Kyle Kendrick and Danys Baez from the 25 man roster

So does Danys Baez.

Kyle Kendrick sucks.

Stutes and Bastardo manned up tonight. I love it. For as much shit as the Phillies bullpen has taken this season (for some reason I can't really fathom), I really like how it is shaping up. Even nicer when Contreras gets back. I just pray Charlie doesn't let Lidge automatically get the 9th inning back just because it is "his guy".

We totally lucked out on that un-called strike 3 to Victorino. Hey, now Braves fans know how I felt when Scott Barry [expletive]ed the Phillies last year. Minor league replacement umps can be a treat sometimes...

Unreal news about Boogy man. So sad. RIP.

You'd be amazed at how many Philadelphia fans like to talk about "Roy Holiday" and "Jrue Halladay".

Good lord, what an awesome series. Sharks manned up. I am surprisingly happy for them. Rooting for them now for sure.

It is now official. Winter Classic vs. Rangers on January 2nd at Citizens Bank Park. I will 100% be going. Already fired up.

No shit. Same reason the Bruins will get another Winter Classic in the next few years (and Rangers, and Blackhawks, and Red Wings, etc etc).
