Running 2011 Baseball Thread, Vol. I: Dedicated to spnited

That's terrible. Looks like James Shields doesn't have to worry about Price poaching the "Big Game" title from him.

 

Yes.

 

MC, the only reason I can give, and I'm not going to begin to say it's good enough, is that the Phils want to try to ensure that Atlanta's not one of the teams they're facing in the playoffs.

Given that, one would wonder why they didn't start Hamels if that's the case.

I'll advance this theory if Halladay comes in for the fifth, Lee for the seventh and the Vancinator for the ninth.

 

The Phillies did something like this in last year's finale.

Hamels for two, Oswalt for one and then a parade of relievers.

 

Also, if Hamels won't be pitching until early next week, this is a good chance to get him some work before then.

 

What an exciting day. The Cards are rolllllllllin. Then again, it's the Astros.

 

Hey Joe you might want to yank Price now. Christ.

 

Who's the better manager in this game?

 

Girardi is finally outmanaging someone. Oh Maddon.

 

This is a calamity.

Yanks have to put him in the pen for the ALDS.

 

With some of the garbage TB has in its lineup, Maddon and everyone should be amazed they are tied for the wild card on the final day of the season.
