Phillies 2010 Season Thread

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

From Stark's piece:

Madson came stomping out of the 'pen to pitch the bottom of the eighth, as "Don't Stop Believing" pumped through an electrified ballpark. Great Giants moments of 2010 played on the video board. Orange pom-poms were shaking halfway to San Jose. You could feel adrenaline shooting through every vein in the park. Just, in this case, it wasn't shooting through the veins of a guy in the right uniform.

"Great song," Madson gushed later. "That song pumped me up. When they started playing it, I got chills. It kept me loose. It took my mind off everything. I guess they probably won't do that again now that you're going to write it."

Yeah, well, it's too late now. Madson promptly became the first reliever to strike out all three hitters he faced, this late in a tied or one-run postseason game, since the Mets' Armando Benitez did that to -- guess who? -- the Giants in Game 3 of the 2000 NLDS.

JOURNEY FTW

This one will be much sweeter if they are able to come back against the Giants.  Cut out the mental errors and keep focused on being aggressive in the box.

Sorry i missed all the excitement at the end.  My wife dropped my son off to surf this evening. When she got back Victorino had just struck out to end the top of the ninth. Her phone rang and it was the lifeguard at the beach calling to say my son had hit his head on the reef and had a nasty gash. We rushed him to the ER where he got 6 stitches and 11 staples. Thank god the ER wasn't to crowded. Exciting night on all ends.

That sucks.  But sometimes I feel like smashing my head into rocks when watching the Phillies, so I feel his pain.

big difference though, the rocks lose in your case.

Wow, from the footnotes of Gonzo's article on "rally thongs":

The Giants' Wall of Fame is located outside AT&T Park. As we walked past plaques honoring JT Snow, Rich Aurilia and world-beater Kirt Manwaring - a lifetime .246 hitter - one Philly scribe shook his head. "Man," he said, "they'll let anyone be on that thing."
