2009 NLDS: Rockies @ Phillies

[a700hitter]

MLB.com is already showing game 3 as postponed. Is that right?

[a700hitter]

They've just posted an article confirming the postponement.

This is a pet peeve of mine. I don't know why all stadiums built in this day and age don't have retractable roofs. If small market teams like Toronto and Milwaukee have them, why were two new stadiums built in NY without roofs at tremendous expense to the taxpayers? Corruption.

Why would it be postponed!?

[a700hitter]

Why would it be postponed!?

Game time temperature is expected to be 31 degrees with snow. Rather than reschedule the game tomorrow afternnon when it might be a little warmer, they have scheduled it for 10 p.m. EDT. f***ing idiots!

10 PM eastern tonight??

No, tomorrow. The Dodgers-Cardinals is now the only game tonight.

Works out well for the Rockies. Now they can pitch Jimenez in Game 4 and Cook in Game 5 (if needed) on 4 days of rest instead of 3.

It's amazing to think that the new stadium in Minnesota will not have a roof.

Parks should all be uniformly constructed anyways. Same dimensions everywhere. Is it fun? Maybe not. But it's logical (which is why it will never happen).

I understand your point about eliminating variables, but hell to the no. I like the fact that parks are different. Just another thing that separates baseball from other sports.

[redsoxrules]

Pedro no longer throwing game 3 . Happ will pitch game 3 , Lee game 4 and Hamels game 5

[Cocos Disciples]

f***, that blows.

[redsoxrules]

Yup

 

I was looking foward to that game

Same here. One of the coolest things about baseball I think.

If the Rockies knock off the Phils, then the two worst teams would advance IMO. And any world series would be a gift wrapped win for the AL

Awesome game going on right now. Betancourt just K'd Ruiz and Stairs, stranding the runners on 2nd/3rd.

[Lester82]

I love playoff baseball. Unfortunately I'm a Red Sox fan and Papelbon blew some game today, from what I heard. Now, I have to watch other teams, the horror!

[Jasonbay44]

Ryan Howard hits a sac fly. 6-5 Phillies in 9th.

[Lester82]

yeah. go phillies. we just can't have the rockies being in the NLCS, not good baseball....

 

plus they are having football weather, ugh.

[msubulldogs21]

Phillies hang on 6-5.

[Lester82]

brad lidge can make any philly fan uneasy, but thankfully they won

[Cocos Disciples]

Jimenez v. Lee going in Game 4 tonight, in the only series left.

[RWTP24]

The umps won game three. That was a f***ed up call.

 

Also, I know that does not mean the Rockies would have won, but there has been a lot of messed up call this October.

[yankees228]

Well that's a first, a good call on a close play.

 

EDIT: Wow, two huge Ks, and he finishes it with a ridiculous 3-2 change. I'd really like to see a fifth game here.

[yankees228]

I feel like Tulowitzki has been coming up small lately. He did get the sac fly to tie the game last night, but it was a great pitch to hit, and you could make the case that he should have done more with it. Then, in the ninth inning, with the tying and winning runs on, he gets a great pitch to hit and pops it up. In the first inning today he struck out with a runner at third and less than two outs. And now, after getting a big RBI double, he makes an awful base running mistake on a ball hit in front of him.

[yankees228]

Why would you intentionally walk Werth when you have a pitcher on the mound with suspect control? Managers really tend to overuse the intentional walk in my opinion.

[jacksonianmarch]

The Phillies are going to be a pretty stiff roadblock in the world series.

[yankees228]

Huge escape by Betancourt.

 

EDIT: This is probably Lee's last batter.

 

EDIT 2: Wow, I don't remember the last time I saw something like that. Rollins has to catch that ball.
