Guest Johnny Dickshot Guests Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 3pm start. Two rookies who weren't even considerations when the season began oppose one another in LHP Franklin Morales and RHP Kyle Kendrick. Morales was only called up in mid-August.Clint Hurdle, asked about the benefits of winning the first game: "I don't know. I don't have any experience to draw from."
Guest Edgy DC Guests Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Nah, he's the shit and he's ready.
metirish Old-Timey Member Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Love that quote from Hurdle.In 4 games and 12 AB's Hurdle hit .417 against the Phillies in the 1980 WS.http://www.baseball-reference.com/postseason/1980_WS.shtml
Guest Johnny Dickshot Guests Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 wahhhh sez Paul Hagen in the Philly Inquirer]Umps, keep an eye on that RockieRockies closer Manny Corpas came in to pitch the bottom of the ninth, retired the Phillies in order and that was that.Or was it?TBS cameras on Corpas warming up before coming into yesterday's 4-2 Colorado win in Game 1 of the National League Division Series at Citizens Bank Park clearly showed the righthander pour a cup of water or soda on the front of his shirt before leaving the bullpen and then rubbing dirt on the area.Then, when he went into the game, he appeared to go to that spot before several of his pitches in order to get a better grip on the baseball. Since the Rockies' road jerseys are black, any discoloration on the shirt would have been difficult to detect.It's illegal for pitchers to apply a foreign substance to the baseball. That became a huge issue last October when television cameras showed Tigers lefthander Kenny Rogers with a noticeable smudge on his pitching hand during Game 1 of the World Series against St. Louis.The Phillies declined comment.Crew chief Dale Scott had left the ballpark and was not available for comment."I don't know anything about it," Rockies general manager Dan O'Dowd told the Rocky Mountain News.
metirish Old-Timey Member Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 I think the Phillies were wise not to comment , now if it's found that he used caffeinated soda then I'd watch him .
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Too-Lah-Wit-Ski and Holla-Day go back-to-back in inning #1Thank you sir may I have another?

Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Rollins hits the first pitch Morales throws into the seats to make it 2-1.All 3 HRs came on 1st pitches.Utley runs his K-streak to 5 in a row.
Guest Johnny Dickshot Guests Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Rollins with a 2-run triple, Phils take a 3-2 lead.Steve Phillips told ya to walk him intentionally.
HahnSolo Old-Timey Member Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 The Great Kazuo leads off the 3rd with a double, then gets stranded.
HahnSolo Old-Timey Member Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Atkins leads off the 4th with a double, but Hawpe and Spillborghs pop out. Torrealba up with 2 outs.
Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Good ol' Kaz hits a grand slam!
Guest Rotblatt Guests Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Holy shit! Way to be, Kaz!Stick it to those phucking Phils!
Gwreck Old-Timey Member Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Nice job by Matsui to hopefully break this one open.

Valadius Old-Timey Member Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 If he truly has finally figured out how to play here, I wouldn't be against taking another look at him.
HahnSolo Old-Timey Member Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 At least he doesn't look like he's in pain every time he runs the bases.
Gwreck Old-Timey Member Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Matsui RBI triple now makes it 9-3 Rox in the 6th.Matsui only needs the single for the cycle.
Valadius Old-Timey Member Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Remember those Kaz-Cairo debates? Seems like ancient history now.
G-Fafif Old-Timey Member Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Damn it feels good to root for a team that can beat the Phillies.I was going to say damn it feels good to root for a team that's not the Mets, but that can be taken so many wrong ways.

metirish Old-Timey Member Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 Congrats to the Rockies, first time two NL West teams will contest the NLCS.
Valadius Old-Timey Member Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 Since no one made a Game 3 IGT, I guess it can go in here - revenge is totally sweet. Phuckers go down in flames!!!
