Not sure if we should go game-by-game or series-by-series with the NL threads, but I figured I'd throw this out there with the hope that people who can actually watch will keep us poor shmucks who are stuck at work entertained.

Hamels vs. Francis today in Game One, in what could be the only low-scoring game of the series. Should be fun.

Um, win? Or something?

[RedSoxinIsrael]

Game 2: M. Redman vs. K. Kendrick

Game 3: J. Moyer vs. J. Fogg

Game 4: K. Lohse vs. U. Jiménez

The best these teams have to offer...Mark Redman! Wow. He wasn't even signed until August.

Phillies in 4. They win today and take 2 of 3 slugfests following.

Kinda sad that the Rox and Phils had to meet in the first series like that. One heroic last-minute championship story dies here.

Well at least you guys got the teams right. Rox are starting Franklin Morales in game 2, though.

And there's Orsillo. Weird. It's like a warm-up for the Sox game.

Yahoo said (says) Redman. Whoops.

Wow, Phils fans in it already.

[bball831]

TBS looks terrible today. I fell like it is on 1x fast forward or something. Just doesn't look right. Anyone else have that problem?

[hunter05]

I like TBS so far, no gimmicky shit, the announcers are pretty good and the pregame was okay as well.

[BS_SoxFan]

Wow, Phils fans in it already.

Are you surprised? It is the playoffs.

[twototango]

You gotta be kidding me with the Terrible Towels.

Funny, I was just going to say that I was liking TBS's video quality. Are you watching in HD?

The broadcast clearly has very high production values, and is a refreshing change from Fox.

[mbarrett]

I'm liking TBS so far too. Is it really that they're good, or that they're not Fox?

Anyone knows who's announcing the Sox game?

Dick Stockon and Ted Robinson.

[twototango]

Jimmy Rollins had 716 at-bats during the regular season - a major league record. That's just amazing. He played all 162 games.

[twototango]

Jeff Francis dealing - he strikes out the side in the first inning.

[Pork Fried Jim Rice]

Wow, that's an impressive group to strike out too. This is probably gonna be the ugly game with under 10 runs unless they make it to a game 5.

[mr guido]

Francis with 3 balls to start the game, then 9 consecutive strikes to K the side. Impressive.

Triple by Helton now. 3's are wild.

[Effa]

Francis strikes out the side--in order.....

[twototango]

Hamels getting hit around in the 2nd inning - a triple and then a double.

[mandurro]

Jeff Francis really could become a household name in these playoffs.

[jschip1]

I'm not sure Todd Helton gets too many triples, but it opens the flood gates. I really hope this is a high scoring series.

[Foulkey Reese]

Wish I could be watching this

Watching Hamels is fun with that change up of his

[86spike]

Hole Camels in trouble early.

You can't stop the Rox!

[twototango]

Not today. His changeup is hanging and he can't command his fastball.

2-0 Rockies.

we'll have more fun watch Buchholz do the same thing from the right side next year.

[86spike]

swing away Francis!

[Foulkey Reese]

Fark yea

Buchholz has a better haircut too!

[SoxFan58]

Tulowitzki with a shot to blow it open right here....

by the way, if anyone wasn't aware, you can listen for free on espn.com.

so far, this is not good, especially considering that this is the kid on whom the city is hanging its playoff hopes.

good thing the phils have an offense that never quits.

[ham_sandwich]

It might just be the tv I'm watching but I have no idea, by the diamond graphic TBS has, whether or not anyone is on base.

[twototango]

Hamels walks in a batters. 3-0 Phillies.

Almost a grand slam by Holliday. Foul ball ground slam.

mlb gameday has that 3-2 itch belt-high right over the plate. Where was it?

[86spike]

Tulowitzki!

[SoxFan58]

Hamels nearing 60 pitches....

and K's Holliday to end it.

Edited by SoxFan58, 03 October 2007 - 02:41 PM.

[theproductis7776]

Wow, that was nearly 7-0.

Men on base are yellow.

i don't know how foul that was. seemed to go straight over the top before curling.

No, it gotten much better, don't really know what the problem was.

[86spike]

Hole Camels at 56 pitches through 2.

of course Francis could easily set himself on fire at any moment,

[E5 Yaz]

Holliday's karma did a 180

[jschip1]

You have to think the baseball gods will rob Holliday of some thunder this series to even things out.

[tizzle fo shizzle]

Francis is doing his best Jesse Litsch impersonation

[socal_soxfan]

Is it just me, or does it suddenly seem like instead of the Braves, TBS has now become the official station of the Colorado Rockies?

[SoxFan58]

Francis is dealing

[sass a thon]

...except to Hamels.

[jschip1]

Did I just hear that the Rockies had the best fielding pct in the history of baseball this year? I had no idea, that's pretty amazing.

[pvg44]

Not what the Phils were looking for. The gameday Phillie batters look tight.

[SoxFan58]

...except to Hamels.

Shallow single to left notwithstanding, 5Ks through that lineup in three innings is damned impressive.
