I missed most of the game due to a Brownie Leaders meeting.
I do love the pitcher's duels though.

2. I agree totally! Give me a pitchers' duel over a slugfest |
|
everytime! I just really hate wasting a great pitching performance. Santana lost two games last year IIRC 1-0. That is inexcusable!

Did you ever read the Batgirl blog when it was up and running?

http://z12.invisionfree.com/TheBatcave/index.php?For every game, they set up a "chat" on Quick Topic. I can be found on that "chat" during most games. If you are interested I will tell you my chat name over there via PM.

Kinda embarrassing for them to be two games behind the Royals, huh?

8. In the Royals case, it is a case of the blind squirrel getting the nut |
|
I wish it were not so, but the Royals will probably take 5th in the division again this year.

:P I love my Phillies, and they're not having a good start - but I'm not panicking just yet, since they're known for their slow starts. Just remember, girl - my team has the last two years' NL MVPs! Ryan Howard and J-Roll!!!!! :woohoo:

Taken from wikipedia: 2007 season "On September 21, Jimmy Rollins became the first player in major league history to collect 200 hits, 15 triples, 25 home runs, and 25 stolen bases in the same season. Rollins also became the 4th player to have at least 20 home runs, 20 triples, 20 doubles, and 20 stolen bases in a season on September 30, securing the feat on the last day of the season with a sixth inning RBI triple.
On September 12, the Phillies were seven games behind the New York Mets in the National League East, and it appeared as if their division hopes were dashed. However, the Mets suffered an epic collapse on the likes of the "Phold of 1964," going 4-11 over the next fifteen games while the Phillies parried with a strong 12-3 record. The Phillies had defeated the Mets in eight consecutive encounters (between July 1, 2007 and September 16, 2007) and ultimately overtook the Mets by one game on September 28. The Phillies fell back into a first-place tie the following day with a Mets win and a Phillies loss, with only one game remaining in the regular season to decide the champion of the National League Eastern Division.
The Mets would lose their final game of the season. Only minutes later, the Phillies defeated the Washington Nationals, clinching the division for the Phillies for the first time in 14 years. The Phillies won the final game behind 44-year old Jamie Moyer, who in 1980 skipped a day of high school to attend that year's Phillies championship parade down Philadelphia's Broad Street.
After their historic comeback, they were swept in three games by the Colorado Rockies after losing 2-1 in Game 3 on October 6, 2007. It was the first time since 1976 that the Phils were swept in a postseason series.
On November 20, 2007, Jimmy Rollins was named National League MVP, edging out Colorado Rockies left fielder Matt Holliday by 17 votes, making this one of the closest contests since the voting format was adopted in 1938. Along with Ryan Howard, they are the first baseball club with back-to-back MVP winners since the San Francisco Giants's Jeff Kent and Barry Bonds in 2000 and 2001, respectively."Just sayin'. :)

Our softball team is named the Pilgrims, so we thought we'd use Philly's P hats! Thought you might like that. :D :hi:

The Twins play the Royals this weekend. Can we at least get the Royals OUT of first place in the division?
