FRANK TV!

[Andrew]

FrankTV was mildly humorous the first time I saw it. 6.9 million views later? Not so much.

[Andrew]

Wow! Gordon is still in? That's a suprise. What's going on here?

I can't decide if I'm happy or sad that we don't get Frank TV in Canada

[twototango]

He might be the only player Red Sox and Yankee fans alike hate seeing in a pressure spot.

Agreed. To his credit, he really sacked up today.

JC Romero is coming in

[CaptainLaddie]

Hmmm.

JC Romero.

They love him here in Philly.

I say the wheels fall off here.

[Jnai]

JC Romero is coming in

I just got back, heard that and thought: HAHAHAHA


off topic:
btw, Laddie, is that gameday screencap of the HR last night? I can't quite make it out.

[Andrew]

C'mon, Helton, you still have only 1 post season hit.

[zzzgilliszzz]

Edit- or single

Wow, that's terrible. That was a catchable ball. He's supposed to be a defensive replacement.

[axx]

Romero has been pretty good since coming over to the NL.

Well, you do have to be lucky to be good.....

Yes.

Right-click it and hit "View image"

[CaptainLaddie]

Great play by Utley to stop that from entering RF

[FoulketoMinky]

Crappy defense shaping up to be the end of Philly's season.

[zzzgilliszzz]

Theres the REAL JC Romero

[twototango]

Rockies lead 2-1.

Diamondbacks vs. Rockies NLCS - YAWN

And the real J.C. Romero rears his ugly face.

Phucking Philles. Phuck them all to hell.....

RBI!!

I'm not smart.

JC Romero just sucks.

[Effa]

ya know?

[FoulketoMinky]

One batter too late Gump Jr.

[NYCSox]

So explain to me again why Manuel pulled Gordon for Helton when Atkins was the next hitter. And then he lets Romero the LOOGY pitch to Baker instead of using his closer when the season is on the line. What a moron.

[Average Reds]

This run brought to you by J.C. Romero and Chase "Alligator Arms" Utley. And frankTV, of course.

[MidnightC]

Romero picked the wrong time to regress to the mean. Or something. Call me crazy, but given the choice, I'd rather have Javier Lopez for a LOOGY.

Edit: OK, Romero's not a LOOGY technically. But he still sucks.

I still can't believe the 1999 Indians coaching staff. It included Grady Little, Charlie Manuel, and Mike Hargrove.

Talk about the triumvirate of suck.

[Jnai]

JC Romero-
You never were any good.
It's too bad, really.

Romero has been way better than Gordon this season and he is not a LOOGY. He's faced more RHB and has fared very well:

Much as it makes no sense, J.C. Romero had a 1.24 ERA with the Phillies, in 36.1 regular season innings. Not a LOOGY.

[Imgran]

Should have gone to Myers earlier with elimination on the line

Man I agree with that. I was pulling for the Phillies this game, but if you are going to play that timidly you deserve to lose.

[NYCSox]

There was NO reason to pull Gordon. He was pitching well. At least let him pitch to Helton and Atkins.

And Romero's ERA and BAA are the result of pure luck. Nothing else.

Think of the level of discourse among those three intellectual midgets.

This is ..... unbelievable. Like a lineup from the Legion of Doom or something.

Hargrove was actually pretty good with the M's.

Either that, or he had the sense to retire before they ran into real competition.

[CaptainLaddie]

The same JC Romero who walked 25 guys and allowed 15 hits in less than 40 innings.

He really sucks. He just had a lucky couple months.

No. He sucks. He's an awful in-game manager.

For what it's worth:

BABIP 1st Half: .329
BABIP 2nd Half: .158

[CaptainLaddie]

Looking.

[Obscure Name]

What the fuck are you looking at, Howard?

[FoulketoMinky]

If I was Charlie Manuel I would stay away from Philly for awhile if the score stands up.

[axx]

Frozen!

[zzzgilliszzz]

Corpas is nothing short of impressive...

[FoulketoMinky]

What the fuck are you looking at, Howard?

You can't take that pitch with 2 strikes.

[Innocent Bystander]

It's surprising how meekly the Cubs and Phillies have rolled over in these playotts.

At least the Phils are putting up a fight in the 9th......

[FoulketoMinky]

Rockies D-Backs is going to be a great series

[juicyfrys]

Looks like I will be seeing the Rockies in Phoenix and rooting them on with the sister!

Congratulations Rockies!

[Obscure Name]

Awesome.
