[Fman99]

Forgot about it till now but this is the weekend that the Jays/Phillies will play 3 in Philadelphia with Toronto as the "home team," due to the G20 summit in Toronto.

Horseshit.

Nah, means the Phillies will get a taste of their own medicine in how easy it is to come back, and walk off, at that place. Especially with a DH. And the Blue Jays will get a taste of playing in front of fans, and see that they cheer a tad more than empty seats.

[G-Fafif]

Prediction: Fans at a Blue Jays home game to set new franchise standard for bad manners.

[Frayed Knot]

It means that Toronto - already the ML leader in HRs - will get to tee off in CBP

[TransMonk]

Will Toronto wear white and get last ups?

Yes and yes. They will also use the DH.

[seawolf17]

The Phillies should also stay in the visiting dugout/clubhouse, eat shittier clubhouse food, and have venomous spiders in their bullpen.

[Ceetar]

Do the Blue Jays get to use binoculars?

Yah, but they don't get custody of the Phantic and he's the guy who relays the stolen signals.




btw, the AL lead in IL is down to 110-100 (52.3% - or about that of an 85 win team)

[Frayed Knot]

And I wouldn't want all of you forget what this IL weekend is really about: why it's the Yanx vs Torre of course!!
First time since he left them (or they left him, or whatever) and I almost wonder if the Yanx requested (and by 'requested' I mean 'demanded') that this series be played in LA where MFY mgmt wouldn't have to hear ol' Joe getting cheered on the hallowed grounds.

Michael Kay has gone out of his way recently to talk about how he and Joe aren't about to have any pow-wows. Was never real clear on what caused the split between them - maybe Kay thought Joe was stealing his credit of all those WS championships. I did hear him the other day talking about how he can't wait to get to LA so he could see and talk to his old friend -- [pause for effect] -- Don Mattingly. I guess we can add MK to the list of talking heads who wear as a badge of honor how disliked they are by some of the guys they cover(ed) or even even don't cover on a regular basis. M&MD were frequently big on that; "oh _____ wants no part of this show" - at least to the guys they weren't sucking up to. Benigno gets that way too on occasions; "I'm so tough on the Jets that their whole front office hates me"

Save your ego trips guys. Report the stories, don't become part of them.

Meanwhile, in Chicago, Carlos Zambrano went after another teammate in the dugout following a four-run first. Trade him for Ollie straight up.

lol, they switched announcers on the Phils local broadcast.

Buck Martinez is working the booth.

GMS went to their booth.

Thats pretty funny/kool.

[Willets Point]

The Phillies were actually known as the Blue Jays for a few seasons in the 1940s. They should do a turn-back-the-clock night and wear Philadelphia Blue Jays uniforms and really fuck with everyone's minds.

That would be classic.

Phils up 1-0 in the 4th.
Braves down 1-0....says in the 1st.

[Zvon]

Phils up 9-0 in the 8th.
Braves up 2-1 in the 6th.
Carp.
Looks like that kid who's pitchin the no-no for the Dbacks will not last 9. Maybe, he's in the 8th, but up to 117 pitches.

[Frayed Knot]

Edwin Jackson - still hurling for Arizona despite closing in on 140 pitches - gets the 1st out of the 9th with his no-hitter intact.

[Frayed Knot]

FO to LF - Wily Aybar to block

[Frayed Knot]

Walk - the [u:mb48cfb9]8th[/u:mb48cfb9] of the game
Jason Bartlett now to try

[Frayed Knot]

GO to SS - on pitch #149, Edwin Jackson gets his no-no !!

[Frayed Knot]

A Brooks Conrad HR (sounds like he belongs in a British spy novel) pads the Braves lead to 3-1 - bottom 8

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Still one walk short of Burnett's ugly-ass no-no.

Good on you, 'Dwin.

Wow.
What a season for pitchers, huh?

On to the 9th in Atlanta so we get to see Wagner try and protect a 2-run lead.
The save, if he gets it, will be his career 400th.
