Phillies versus Braves!

[Boid Fink]

Rafael Soriano pitching.

Burrell up, 2 strikes.

Might as well ring him up now...

Pat the Bat is horrible with 2 strikes.

[Boid Fink]

Burrell popped up.  He is garbage.

1 down.

Helms is up, he had a double earlier that drove in the tying run.

Dribbler up the first base line, put out by the catcher.

Rowand is up. 

Ed Montague is horrible today, BTW.  He is all over the place in his "calls".

Walked Rowand, could have been a strike as well.

[Boid Fink]

Barrajas is up.

Soriano is on him, and I suspect that any second....

He will put him away...

Top of the ninth, mid of the order up for the Braves.

[Boid Fink]

Tom Gordon throws the first pitch, and Jones crushed it.  But it fell short of the wall, one out.

McCann is up.  He is down 1 strike.

Base hit, 1 out.

I hate Tom Gordon.  He is a meatballer extrordinaire.  He just chucks it over the plate and hopes and prays they don;t put it into play.

He is up 0-2 to Francouer.

The pitch....struck him out.

2 Outs.  Thorman up.  Thorman is huge.  I heard Carey saying he heard the catchers saying his swing sounded different...lol!

Gordon down 2-0.  Thorman beat out a dribbler, error on Howard, Gordon never covered the bag, and Howard did not field it properly anyway.

[Boid Fink]

Bases loaded, infield hit by Langerhans, bases loaded, 2 outs.

Pinch hitter up.

Man I hate Gordon.  He is the meatball express.  The grapefruit king.

[Boid Fink]

Struck him out to get out of the jam he created mostly.  Jesus.

[Boid Fink]

Here we go, bottom of the ninth baby!  Great game, good way to start the season.

Dobbs up, Wickman pitching.  Oh boy.

1 out on a slow roller to second.  Wickman is nasty.

Rollins up.

[Boid Fink]

Wickman and Jimmy are battling on a 1 out full count....

[Boid Fink]

STRUCK HIM OUT with nasty inside slider.

2 down, Shane Victorino is up, and he has looked bad today, IMO.

[rayfsc07]

Sounds like a good game.

Wick's my closer in one of my leagues, sucks he's in a non save sit. already.  Hopefully he gets a W.

[Boid Fink]

Double by Shane, Howard up, man at second, 2 out.

I wonder if they just load em up...cause after Howard, comes Utley.

[Boid Fink]

They are pitching to a pulling Howard.

They are definitely pitching "around" him though.  Nothing close to the plate.

[Boid Fink]

They just walked him, Utley is up now...McDowell is talking to Wickman right now.

[Boid Fink]

Utley up, first pitch strike.

[Boid Fink]

Second pitch...popped up....in play... .10th inning!
