495 to dead center over a wall several stories high, so the height of that blast was remarkable too...

[reese125]

its that it went to straight center...to hit a ball that far without pulling it is unreal


...just like my golf swing--without the 500 yrd distance of course.

Was the pitcher a lefty or righty?

Yep. 

They're back-tracking a bit on the distance knocking 10-20 feet off of it, but if you've ever stood there, you know what a nuclear crush that shot was.

To borrow a line from The Princess Bride... it's inconceivable that anyone could launch one over that wall into the monument section.  No way, no how.  Just incredible power.

haha...theres a guy on WIP asking king to start a campaign for the phils to have a team appreciation month...where for a one month period the fans are not allowed to boo....if they are they will be asked to leave and the stadium will have no booing signs all over...he wants to see if this will cause the team to play better

really

Two very good things happened today:

1. Hamels was promoted to AAA

2. Even though I was originally against it, Chase Utley has been moved into the #2 spot. That means Howard is moved up to 5th and Rowand drops to 6th.

Rollins
Utley
Abreu
Burrell
Howard

I'm not (too) much of a booer, but that's freaking nuts.

Phils up 5-2, they're hitting the ball all over the park tonight.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

6-4, and Abreu, Howard, and Rowand all choked on it in the 7th.  Let's see how that comes back to hurt them.

[MDS]

abreu and howard were cash money until then, i can hardly use the work choke considering what theyve down and that they were facing a left hander. rowand, bell and loserthal are combing to make one mediocre of a 6-7-8 though.

[Don Ho]

Rhodes.

Swell.

[Don Ho]

C'mon Bell!

[Don Ho]

Thank you Jesus!

[SD_Eagle5]

Lidle with 10 Ks tonight.
