2008 Philadelphia Phillies Season/Playoff Thread (Die Mets Die)

From Peter King's MMQB:

4. I think Ronde Barber may have 33 career interceptions, but his 34th, if made, would have been the most memorable one of his career. Barber was at Tropicana Field for Game 1 of the World Series the other night, sitting in row two, just beyond the first-base dugout. In the fifth inning, B.J. Upton hit a high foul pop near the stands, and Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard chased it. As the ball fell, Howard leaned into the stands and plucked it out of the air -- with Barber sitting there watching, his wife clinging to his shoulders with a fearful look on her face. Barber showed off the photo of Howard's catch, with him clearly visible, Saturday, and I asked him where the ball would have landed if Howard hadn't caught it. "Right at my feet,'' he said. He said Howard glowered at the crowd after making the catch. He'd have glowered a lot more if Barber had battled him for it

Thanks for something finally, Ronde.

[Butchers Bill]

Great start!

[QB Eagles]

C'mon Chooch! Kill the Rays.

[Don Ho]

Pat Burrell is without a doubt the slowest human being alive.

Way to go Shane!!!

[QB Eagles]

I can live with 2-0. The way this game is looking so far, the Phils will have the bases loaded up again. 24 outs is all that separates Philadelphia from a championship.

[QB Eagles]

Peña can't even bunt his way onto base.

[Rome]

Awesome start.

The Hawaiian without sleeves on tonight puts 'em ahead and Cole is on cruise control.

LETS GO BABY!

[QB Eagles]

[QB Eagles]

Nice at-bat by Werth. Not sure if it makes up for that double.
