Because I didn't think that.

I thought it but forgot to post it.

But I WILL take credit for saying this back when we were down by two runs and Ollie and Figgy imploded.

Clap-Clap-ClapClapClap!

This is SO a game they would have lost last year.

I lik baseball.

[Valadius]

This is a game they would have lost had Willie still been manager.

Ugh

And the Phillies lose!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

The fish are one out away from a 10-8 victory over the Phillies.

Arthur Rhodes gets Utley on an infiled pop up then strikes out Howard. Lindstrom in to face Burrell with no one on. Fly ball to left center....and the Marlins win!!

Any day that the magic number drops by two is an excellent day.

I'm looking forward to seeing the new odds on Baseball Prospectus tomorrow morning!

The way Delgado's swinging, you could move the fences back 50 feet and it wouldn't make any difference. Amazing.

Fun game to attend. Seems that Oliver's problems are usually control oriented. Tonight, he just got hit hard (6 in a row at the end). I give it an "eh" as long as he bounces back next start.

Delgado's homers were announced as 450 and 395 feet, respectively.

Luis Aguayo is almost making me long for Sandy Alomar. (Certainly Ken Oberkfell, at least).

What was up with the call at the end of the 8th inning? Seemed like the ump took forever to call Beltran out on strikes and then the interference call (?) seemed bogus.

I could grow to like generic closers.

="Fman99"] ="Vince Coleman Firecracker"]The guys in the booth were wondering who the Show looks like with the mustache. The correct answer is, of course, Todd Parker, Thomas Jane's character from Boogie Nights. Well done sir. I was thinking he looked like Jason Giambi's skinny cousin. I also had not realized that this guy was the same one who played Mickey Mantle in Billy Crystal's tedious* 61*.

His stache was not so beefy as that guy. I was thinkin he sorta looked like Inspector Clouseau.
