Please Get It Right This Time

PLAYERS: Chad Billingsley,  Cole Hamels
TEAMS: Los Angeles Dodgers,  Philadelphia Phillies

If the Dodgers don't clinch today, I think i'm going to lose my mind.

*******************************************************************************************

I know I addressed this before, but can I once again take the time to mention that Chad Billingsley is doing better than Cole Hamels?

Dodger fans would rather eat their first born than let Chad Billingsley start a playoff game. Phillies fans anxiously await Cole Hamels' postseason appearance.

Game 158 Thread: Sept 29 @ Friars, 7p

Via Sons of Steve Garvey  |  September 29, 2009
Chad Billingsley (12-10, 4.07) vs. Cesar Ramos (0-1, 1.69). COMMENTS: The Dodgers need one win in their last five games, or one Colorado loss in its last six games, to clinch the NL West. 11 opportunities, and only one has to go the Dodgers' way. And this one won't be it. No, not with Chad Billingsley on the mound, after his last performance which had a promising start...

September 28 Game Recap: Astros 8, Phillies 2

Via The Fightins  |  September 28, 2009
What happened? The Phillies failed to reduce their magic number as the Astros tagged Cole Hamels to take the first game of the series. Who did what? Cole Hamels (L, ) allowed six runs on nine hits in six innings. He walked three and struck out five. Yormin Bazardo (W, 1-2) allowed two runs on two hits in five [...]

Delays, Delays: Padres 3, Dodgers 1

Via 6-4-2: Double Play Blog  |  September 30, 2009
The Dodgers delayed clinching the division on a night the Rockies kept their faint division hopes alive with an 11-inning 7-5 win over Milwaukee. Chad Billingsley failed to get out of the sixth again, and once more, the chants of "Beat LA" from opposition seats. The Padres are 16-9 in September, so assuming they'll just go away is maybe just wishcasting; I have a feeling...

Preview Game 156: Phillies vs. Astros

Via Macho Row  |  September 28, 2009
The Phillies return home to wrap up the 2009 regular season and they could be clinching the NL East title as early as tomorrow night. Nothing will come easy for the Phillies though as bullpen struggles continue to plaque the team's chances of winning and the offense continues to be hit or miss.The Phillies will also have to look to find a way to beat the Houston Astros, who swept...

Phils Continue to Sputter Towards the Finish Line

Via *D Phillies Nation  |  September 28, 2009
The Phillies dropped another important game down the stretch.  This was not another blown save, nor did a Phillies comeback  fall short – they straight up lost.  Cole Hamels pitched poorly and the offense was anemic in front of their increasingly frustrated home town fans. Hamels cruised through the first three innings, allowing just a single [...]

Miggy Tejada Supports Bazardo As He Outpitches Hamels

Via MVN  |  September 28, 2009
Yorman Bazardo outpitched Cole Hamels. I can't believe I am writing that, but it is true. So I am gonna say it again: Yorman Bazardo outpitched Cole Hamels. Yorman threw 5.2 innings, gave up only TWO hits - a leadoff single to Rollins (which led to a run) and a double to Victorino which SHOULD have been an out, but it bounced off the first base bag and took a bad hop and Berkman...

Ed Wade Reminder Series Starts Tonight

Via 700 Level  |  September 28, 2009
We've heard how Ed Wade spent the final minutes of the 2008 World Series, sleeping in his Houston apartment while many of the players he drafted and refused to trade during his tenure in Philly poured champagne and Bud Light on one another, as well as Pat Gillick. Because so many of the guys who rode parade floats down Broad Street were from Wade's era, history may be kinder to him...
