October 08, 2009
Today will be a memorable day for Cole Hamels but not for anything he did on the mound. Hamels, who everyone hoped would magically be the 2008 shutdown pitcher once again, had a poor performance in Game 2 for the Phillies, giving up 4 runs in his 5 innings of work. The Phillies eventually fought back into the game but the runs Hamels gave put the Phillies in a hole that they never...

Scenes From An NLDS Game 1: Ubaldo Jimenez Makes An Early Exit
Young Ubaldo Jimenez looked like a pitcher possessed his first time through the Phillies lineup. Out of the first eight batters he faced, only one of them managed to get on base, and he (Jayson Werth) was quickly erased after Raul Ibanez grounded into a double play. Jimenez was changing speeds masterfully, hitting [...]

Video: NLDS Game 1 Slideshow
This is a video slide show of assorted photos, both by me and from the AP (I think you'll pick up on which ones are mine).The choice in song was inspired by the recent news (HT: The 700 Level) that Jimmy Rollins and the Phillies listen to Jay-Z's album, The Blueprint 3, in the locker room everyday.Look for more video slide shows in the future.
Werth Whacks
Jayson Werth hits a two-out, solo home run to right-center in the bottom of the eighth off Rafael Betancourt to cut the Rockies lead to 5-4. That send the reliever to the showers.
Update: The Dodgers game will start on TNT if you’d rather watch that one. Franklin Morales enters to try to get [...]

Helton ‘charms’ media as only Helton can
PHILADELPHIA – Today’s Todd Helton show was a combination of smart-aleck wit, boredom and Helton’s aw-shucks Tennessee charm.
Helton likes sitting in front of reporters and TV cameras about as much striking out, but he took one for the team today as the Rockies pre-game spokesman.
Here is a sampling:
