David Wells
you caloric abomination….he just called Rick—-in his heyday—a “pretty good” pitcher. Uh…as far as rookie pitchers go, Rick was about as promising as they come. Give him some credit, fatty
wells was kind of busy when rick came up

JD drews career year
btw…that is why i love holliday so much….dude can take a 93 mph off his hand and the next day come back and crack a homer….holliday was hit by 9 pitches this year……drew’s career wouldve been over if he took this hbp’s

i'd like to take full credit for the win
not glaus or ankiel…
at approx. 10:57 central time i said “the braves look as hopeless as the cards against the astros”……….that was the 180 turn…..

Wow!!
From starting the season with the Royals (and on the DL for most of that time) and me thinking his career was just about over because of injuries….to hitting a homerun in the playoffs to win a game for the Braves!!
The feel good story that is Rick Ankiel has just added another chapter.

but yes. the legend grows.

I swear they are going to make a movie about Rick at some point
Disney should be all over this story. His career has been a wild rollercoaster ride.

They already did; it was called The Natural
and he is just that guy reborn.
If I wear all white and stand up in his line of sight every time he comes to bat, will that fix him? Or will people just throw beer on me and tell me to “sit the fuck down, crazy lady”

its weird seeing fontenot, farnsworth, lee
in the playoffs…….guys i always associate w/ the cubs
and is it just me or does the braves uni instantly make Lee look like a better ball player?
he looks like heyward's big brother
same kind of height

i think lee as a brave is fitting
also, i can come out of the closet about liking him now that he’s not a cub

who had
the website that had an excitement rating?
this is why baseball is the greatest game…..u go from a boring hopeless game to a momentum swing of a double play to the bomb in the pond
also i just realized that my comment about the hopelessness of the braves is equivalent to the cards playing the ’stros……..may have had deeper meaning…….GOB realized that they needed more games like the 05 nlcs where the Pujols beat Lidge in the 9th….eh? im on to something

should i correct the reds fan
on RR that said that last night’s no hitter was the first since ’67?
it was actually ’56

you only have 8 innings to score
against the Yankees, that’s for sure. Oh, if that were true for the Cards…
You know
I can remember some of La Russa’s teams (2000-2002 & 2009) playing “too tight” in the playoffs and probably losing because of it….but they have nothing on this Reds team. They looked brutal out there. I almost felt sorry for them…..almost. From being no-hit to all the errors….yikes.
Boy a frosty cold Budweiser would be great about now"…long pause…then an "aahhh". --Mike Shannon
i hope they win one
just so that the series is kind of interesting and so that the phillies don’t get a ton of momentum or whatever

I do too
Would like to see the fans in Cincy enjoy one win.

they didn't look tight, though
the bullpen did
some of the fielding errors were flukey
on the other hand, Ryan Howard got his fill of righties with lefties available, and then there was an inexplicable IBB, so it’s not like it was all ’tude…

Once Rolen made his error
you could just feel the tightness on that Reds team….at least I could. From that point something got in their heads….and they were really shakey all around….more so the bullpen like you said.

oh. oh.
“I was just looking for a pitch to drive, and got lucky and put a good swing on it,” Ankiel said. “And I can’t explain how I feel right now. … I can’t even explain it. I’d say this is the pinnacle of everything I’ve ever done. To win a playoff game with a home run, I mean, that’s where it’s at.”

One thing is for sure
The National League series have been hell of a lot more exciting that the AL 4-hour game borefests thus far. Watching a few innings of some of the AL games have put me to sleep…but I have really enjoyed the NL games.

okay i just watched the CG of the reds/phils
okay in 7th it looked like utley didnt get HBP…looked like he was out at 2nd… and it looked like he missed 3rd base on rollins hit to bruce…and reds didnt appeal….that is one crazy inning for utley….who played about as shitty as oilspill…..not a good game for 2basemen
I noticed that too
Seemed like the umps were giving the Phils a few breaks….but the Reds shit their pants so hard at that point it didn’t even matter. But that “HBP” on Utley was a big break for Philly for sure. i just couldn’t get over how wild the Reds bullpen got. Their nerves really got to them….which can happen to a young team with very few players with post season experience. To me when Rolen (their veteran leader) made that costly error…I think it shook them up.

sheesh
yea its a lil hard to get a feel for the flow of the game on the condensed version
but i just noticed Rolen’s boot on Polanco’s grounder…Arroyo wouldve gotten out of the inning unscathed, o well

in dusty’s postgame interview he talks about learning from mistakes…
in all seriousness……it will be interesting to see how dusty talks to his team now…after all he has been through this before
