Hatfield Dollar Dog Night

Watching the Phils play the Braves in the epic pitching matchup of Tim Hudson v. Cole Hamels. Its bottom 4, Victorino and Howard just got out, Utley's up, Imma liveblog it up for a minute. all times eastern

8:03- We got Harry the K in the house. He was extremely amused by "Happy the Pig" and "Frowny" the Phanatic. Old people are just like little kids and stoners. oooo ... shiny.

8:05- Utley flies out to end the inning.

8:06- Check out all the Phils batters' entrance music -- pretty good stuff over at the 700 Level. No more Holy Diver? Thats one more strike against Burrell. number 7 by my count.

8:10- Hamels is fucking dealing. Tim Hudson will be his 6th K of the night.

8:13- Bottom 5 now, still all bagels. We have a new Phillies announcer this year. None other than Gary Matthews Sr. Sarge in the house and not on HGH!

8:15- Aaron Rowand clearly has head injuries. Just look at his stance. Fucking Sped

8:16- Chris Wheeler just said that Phils catcher Carlos Ruiz is "deep in the box." And while I was typing that he just went yard. First hit of the night is a HR. CARLOS! RUIZ!

8:18- mmmm PBR

8:20- Yes, those managers do play hunches, sarge. Is sarge the replacement for Harry(soonly dead?) Just a hunch.

8:22- Hamels is a pitching god. Imagine Tom Glavine with Trevor Hoffman's change-up.

8:23- I smell a future "So bad its good: The Reaping." It smells like BO.

8:25- Rollins up, trying to make up for getting picked off earlier. You know J-Roll makes it rain. but not this time, 1 away. VICTORINO!

8:28- Fuck you and the horse you rode in on, Tim Hudson. Where's Mike Hampton?

8:31- This game is flying by. End of the sixth less than an 1 1/2 hours in.

8:33- It would be awesome if the final was 1-0 with the only run on a HR by Carlos Ruiz. He's no Chris Coste, but what can you do. And typing that caused Andruw Jones to single.

8:36- Harry and Sarge are repeating each other. Terrible. Sarge tries to recover by talking about how much it hurts the catcher when the ball hits him. Hamels is unfazed by the commentary, striking out Francouer.

8:38- Clearly Cole needs a fanclub. If we can have the "Padilla Flotilla" and the "Wolf Pack" not to mention "Sal's Pals" he deserves one. Suggestions are welcome.

8:40- Holy shit Burrell is getting booed for not getting to a texas-leaguer in left. IT'S ONLY THE SECOND GAME OF THE SEASON PEOPLE. Burrell needs to be traded, unfortunately.

8:43- Cole just had a web gem. Decision time, Harry? Shut up, Charlie is totally leaving him in. AND he gets out of the jam.

8:46- Dodge Stump the Fans -- Who was the was the winning pitcher when the phils clinched the 1993 NLCS in Game 6?
Tommy Greene

8:48- Base hit Burrell. Michael Bourn Identity in to pinch run. No Dice, Wes Helms hits into what will be one of many many his DPs this season.

8:50- Hamels is at 114 pitches -- doubt he's coming back. Four pitch walk to for Sped, I mean Rowand.

8:52- And yeah Hamels is clearly done as he is being interviewed in the clubhouse right now. WTF. The phils are still at bat. Sped just stole 2nd.

8:53- "Hamels' Whores?" sorry

8:56- The latino David Bell is in as a defensive replacement at third base. Niiiiice.

8:59- Who the hell is pitching for the phils? Lefty? time to peruse my 2007 Phillies media guide. Ahh Matt Smith. Best 10 bucks I ever spent on a drunken impulse.

9:02- Its Geoff Geary time. Top eight in a 1-0 game. My god the Phils bullpen is weak. This is your setup man? Really? When Flash gets hurt it could get Sam Cassell ugly.

9:04- I am praying right now. Fuck you ump that was a strike.

9:07- Still the same at bat. Chipper needs to break his face right here.

9:09- Chipper walked, but Andruw grounded out on the first pitch. Geoff Geary scares me.

9:10- Holy shit grindhouse looks fucking epic. As my co-worker told me her son said, "I'm glad Jesus was resurrected so I can go see Grindhouse."

9:13- Insurance run? Anyone? Victorino?

9:16- Rollins steals second, goes to third on the shitty throw. Victorina lines one into the left field corner. ahhh 2-0 thats nice.

9:17- Victorina gets thrown out trying to steal third with Ryho up. That was stupid. Flyin' Hawaiian my ass.

9:19- Ryho walks, only to get thrown out at home when Utley hits one off the right field wall. Garbage, but its time for flash gordon. Honestly what kind of nickname is that?


9:26- While I posted that Brian McCann just hit a game-tying home run. Fuck it I'm done with this. Something coming when the game ends.


Sped struck out to end the game in the eleventh. Ryan Madson already has 2 losses out of the pen. Its only the second game of the season. I am numbed up by the 4 PBRs. Adam Eaton is the next phillies starter.

I'll post some of the best lines in predator to cheer myself up.
RUNNNN -- GET TO THE CHOPPAH
What's the matter? The CIA got you pushing too many pencils?
