Hamels Bests Cain 2-1

Sun, 07 Aug 2011 00:35:48 +0000

Pablo Sandoval ruined a shutout for Cole Hamels. Hamels had a shut out going into the ninth inning, but the Giant’s slightly less portly third baseman pulled a 2-1 fastball into the left field seats. A Giants fan donning a Will Clark jersey caught the home run ball and proceeded to run around like the Giants just won the game. (more…)

I am having a difficult time writing anything resembling coherent, rational thought after tonight’s game. I can not really put my finger on it, but losing to a team like the Giants renders me a cursing, angry, belligerent mess.

So I was choking down yet another bowl of instant spaghetti when about 30 things happened regarding the Phillies yesterday afternoon.

1. J-Roll is back.

Phillies Nation threw up some Jimmy Rollins + the Phillies stats after this news. You know what the best thing to do with a recovering injury is? Don’t put a lot of weight on it. So, let’s all make a note not to heave our collective despairs of the past few months on Jimmy’s back and assume he’ll take us to the Promised Land.

Yeah, I’ve already done it too.

2. Chooch is gone.

Now who is going to eat all the ice cream?! See #4.

3. Greb Dobbs has been jettisoned into outer space.

Wha… what?! But what if me and the Phillies wind up on a time traveling adventure back to 2007-08?! Who will be the best hitter in baseball?! What do you mean that’s highly unlikely? I guess I’m the only one who hasn’t given up on my 7th grade dream journal.

4. Mike Zagurski recalled

It took maybe two minutes, but certainly less than three, for the fat jokes to come raining from the skies. And yes, they are hilarious. And yes, it is because he is fat. And YES, when he fields the ball he looks like a tractor trailer trying to swallow a bird. We need a second lefty.

5. Oh shit I dropped all this pasta on my keyboard.

Its a huge mess.
