Ubaldo Jimenez's series ERA is 9.00. Cliff Lee's series ERA is 1.00. Based on a sample size of that game, the Rockies are really gonna need to rally against Philly's bullpen.

I have to root for the Rockies here because the name Ubaldo always makes me laugh for some reason
Nice Guys Finish Third - My semantics are a waste of time.
The Phillies announcers have renamed him Ubaldez because they can't remember his name.
Dave’s failings are more endearing.
I'm home in time for this.
Delightful!

Why is sports
Almost always synonymous with really bad music?
"Let this big fucker come in and walk the world here." - Dave Niehaus on JJ Putz
I thought
Dane Cook = Baseball? I know he’s not music, but still – has TBS been lying to me all this time?
Is this sort of like Hank Williams Jr = football?
"Let this big fucker come in and walk the world here." - Dave Niehaus on JJ Putz
That's not improving the situation.
I think maybe I’ve been able to tune that out a lot easier than Dane Cook. Lopez isn’t as annoying.
"Let this big fucker come in and walk the world here." - Dave Niehaus on JJ Putz
And he dresses a lot better in his commercials.
Nice Guys Finish Third - My semantics are a waste of time.
I can't remember
Why again was Lee sent to the Phils? Anyone?
"Let this big fucker come in and walk the world here." - Dave Niehaus on JJ Putz
By which I mean "Mark Shapiro's latest rebuilding effort"
Nice Guys Finish Third - My semantics are a waste of time.
Ah.
Was he struggling at all for them? For some reason I remember that being the case, but it’s been a long 6-7 months, so maybe my memory is failing…
"Let this big fucker come in and walk the world here." - Dave Niehaus on JJ Putz
He had a bad record, and struggled the first two starts of the year, but was hot when he was traded.
Assuming I’m remembering correctly.

That sounds vaguely familiar
Man, there is just too much to keep track of…
"Let this big fucker come in and walk the world here." - Dave Niehaus on JJ Putz
He was 7-9 when traded with a 3.14 ERA
not that either of those two is necessarily a good indicator of his talent, but he didn’t seem too horrible – but he’s been a lot better since he left.
Nice Guys Finish Third - My semantics are a waste of time.
4.50 tRA* in the AL vs 4.27 in the NL.
Like you said, he was good before he was traded but he’s been better since.

Thank God baseball has been doing a better job of promoting itself recently.

You aren't missing much
I’ve drifted off twice
Seconded
Aside from a near-collision and some questionable safe calls – and Werth’s homer that he hit just now – not much has happened.
"Let this big fucker come in and walk the world here." - Dave Niehaus on JJ Putz
Good Christ
I have tried to be an enjoyer of pitching duels, but I just can’t get into it very much. When it’s two teams I don’t care about much, it’s even worse. This is killin’ me.
"Let this big fucker come in and walk the world here." - Dave Niehaus on JJ Putz
This isn't so much a pitchers duel as a hitters-making-outs duel.
by Aaron Campeau on Oct 12, 2009 5:01 PM PDT up reply actions
Maybe that's why I'm so bored...
Though Jayson Stark seems to be of the opinion it’s a pitchers duel. I think I’ll go with “clusterfuckery”.
"Let this big fucker come in and walk the world here." - Dave Niehaus on JJ Putz
Yes!
Not sure I missed it…
"Let this big fucker come in and walk the world here." - Dave Niehaus on JJ Putz
So what's everyone having for dinner?
Because knowing that would be more interesting than this game.
"Let this big fucker come in and walk the world here." - Dave Niehaus on JJ Putz
Will your dinner be prepared by people that don't usually prepare dinner?

I don't know what that means
But I’m fairly sure it’s illegal in at least 10 states.

Advertising really does work!

I have to admit I decided to try the taco based on the commercial
not impressed but hey they got my money so what do they care.
[DELETED ZOMG NO POLITICS]
It looks like a regular taco with black food coloring.
FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS!
This was my thought as well
It looks like a normal corn tortilla to me
I have found that Taco Bell tacos
Pretty much all taste the same, regardless of how they try and fancy them up.
"Let this big fucker come in and walk the world here." - Dave Niehaus on JJ Putz
I usually go for burritos
If I’m letting Taco Bell drive my car, I might as well let ’em run me off a bridge.
"Let this big fucker come in and walk the world here." - Dave Niehaus on JJ Putz
I wasn't hungry enough to justify a burrito
but normally I with you on that.
[DELETED ZOMG NO POLITICS]
Racist.

They already do!
In the utopia that is my belly.
You have discovered my secret shame.

Oooo!
I had noodles. LLLJ, I know….

I thought this game was on at 6.
Oh well. Go Phillies!
FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS!
What the happy horseshit was THAT, Raul?!
"Let this big fucker come in and walk the world here." - Dave Niehaus on JJ Putz
Yeah that was a pretty uncharacteristic fielding blunder

I realized after I wrote it that someone would say something
But that’s not really what I meant.

Well shit
PUT THE BALL OVER THE PLATE DUMBASS!
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
One more!
God no clutch hitting tonight, by either team.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
The Philly announcers
“How about you wait until he throws a strike to swing.”
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Another opportunity wasted for the Phils
LETS ROX IT!
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Lee sending a message there
Get the fuck off my plate.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Almost a Coors field special
There…Dang it, Raul you HAD to make that play.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Stfu Charlie
That was a clean play, your guy fucked it up.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Wow,
Rollins had a .990 field percentage in the regular season, but makes an error there.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Charlie's smartest move of the game
Raul being taken out in LF.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Hopefully someone on Colorado
Can actually get a RISP.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Holy crap
That was amazing. No way Ibanez makes that catch.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
DAMMIT
Although I do love the Raul bashing on the broadcast
"There's no way Raul Ibanez gets to that ball. NO WAY!"
FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS!
Dammit
You took my post! haha!

I don't have that much Phaith...
"Let this big fucker come in and walk the world here." - Dave Niehaus on JJ Putz
I like this series going a little longer...
Fills the void for the week, more Raul chances for hilarity, and how else are you going to get your fill of “men of a certain age,” ads?
"Who else? Yorvit Torrealba!"
Really? I know he’s been hot, but that’s a little much.
In the broadcasters defense, Yorvit appears to have been radioactive death to the Phillies
in the postseason, both this time and in 2007.

And done.
I went to a Rockies game this summer and their fans seemed very arrogant and obnoxious. Thinking of them being sad does not bother me all that much.
by Craig Powers on Oct 12, 2009 6:27 PM PDT up reply actions
From my own interactions with them, they do seem to have alot of arrogance for a franchise that hasn't really done much.
FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS!
Wow Huston Street blows.

I have a friend who loves Coors light, despite my many attempts to convince him otherwise.
And his dog loves it as well. Every time he says, “Code Blue” the dog runs over to take a sip.

Really?
That’s kind of cool, aside from the whole not-supposed-to-feed-animals-alcohol thing.

Ok
That made me snort.
"Let this big fucker come in and walk the world here." - Dave Niehaus on JJ Putz
Yeah.
It is pretty funny. The dog seems to know when you are finished with your beer and he will bark at your to let him lick the bottle. I think it may have a problem.

I had a kitten who drank beer once
But she only did it like twice. Perhaps my other cats had an intervention.

The lady that I got my dog from trained him with cheese.
He goes insane every time I take it out of the fridge, even though I’ve had him for 8 months and never given him any.

HEY COLORADO!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Suck it Rockies.
FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS!
Uh, what happened?
I dozed off with 2 outs and Philly down 4-2. Wake up and the Phillies up 5-4. My goodness.
According to gameday, Street threw all fastballs to Howard
Now, I know you’ve gotta keep the hitter guessing, so you’ve got to do that sometimes, but really? Is Ryan Howard the guy you want to throw nothing but fastballs to?
Huh. I did not know that CarGon has been quite good for Colorado.
This distresses me.
FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS!
But CarGon can take you away!
"Let this big fucker come in and walk the world here." - Dave Niehaus on JJ Putz
The best part about this is that Philly isn't using Lidge.
FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS!
Well thats what I get for opening my mouth.
Brad Lidge in with the game on the line?
OH NOES!
FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS!
I'm with the Rox fans
TULO TULO TULO!
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I'm rooting for the Rockies, but Brad Lidge blowing yet another game would be hilarious.
FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS!
MLB History tonight
With the Rockies choke job in tonight’s game 4, it is the first year since 2000 that neither wild card won their division series and only the second time since the wild card was added.

ahh -- a post-surgery (pre-infection) note from Karen M
“We both wonder how incredible it is that this is his first surgery of his very long career.
The surgery went very well – performed by one of the leading specialists in the country, out of Philadelphia. In fact, he’s avoiding pain killers because he doesn’t have any pain! He is thrilled that the doctor saw no reason why he wouldn’t be ready for spring training.
As his wife, it has been my job to keep “Superman” down! That has been more difficult than taking care of our 8 kids! "
FUCK HUSTON STREET!!
There is now officially NO ONE left to root for in the playoffs!
Huh
You know, champagne celebrations in the clubhouse are just a teensy bit…gay…ish…

They still have to shake it in a way that makes me a little uncomfortable to watch. It’s like that Wii sketch with Alec Baldwin.
