He feels threatened because he might not win the "funniest Talksox poster of the year" award again.

Well who comes close? Maybe Yazman or WhiskeyBreath. I think he wins pretty easy.

[Youk Of The Nation]

I will. I have no doubts as to that.

[yeszir]

yeszir

[Youk Of The Nation]

You know why I will? Because my sense of humor, combined with my rugged good looks, charm, and limitless intelligence, make everyone love me.

 

...but mostly, it's my modesty.

[Youk Of The Nation]

yeszir

 

You may be funny, but looks aren't everything.

[italstallianion]

If unintentional humour counts, then I'm voting for Suns.

[yeszir]

I vote for twilight campfighter because he just made me laugh by asking that guy if he was going to win a stay at embassy suites

[Cocos Disciples]

I vote all the British posters for some kind of award.

[Cocos Disciples]

Yay!!!

 

Well I meant everyone who has joined in the past few days but I guess you can have it too.

[Flynnatic10]

congrats roy!

[Keeper]

First time in the postseason and he tosses a no-no. What a stud.

[BSN07]

Watched the game last night. So sick. That was ridiculous. Congrats Halladay!

[jacksonianmarch]

That is how you cut the heart out of a young, inexperienced team. The Phils are gonna sweep now

[Station 13]

Lead off HR.

 

make this interesting.

[italstallianion]

At least the Reds won't get no-hit again.

[yankees228]

They just said this is the biggest game of Arroyo's life. Not sure how it's bigger than Game 3 in the 2004 ALCS.

[italstallianion]

They also said that Polanco wasn't there during Halladay's perfect game as well as his no-hitter, and that Manuel probably should have benched Polanco after Cincinnati led off with a HR.

Haha I missed that. Good stuff.

 

Anyway, I'm definitely hoping the Reds can make this somewhat interesting.

[italstallianion]

I want the Phillies to win the series, but I'd like to see Arroyo do well tonight.

[yankees228]

Oswalt looks vulnerable here early on. Reds have to take advantage, although it likely won't happen with Hanigan and Arroyo.

[yankees228]

Reminiscent of Utley's throwing problems last October.

Reminiscent of Utley's throwing problems last October.

 

 

I'm going to defend Utley a bit here. On the first one, he made a great play just to get to the ball, so while the throw was off, I don't think the play normally gets made by many 2b's.

 

On the 2nd one, Utley was hit as he was beginning to throw. It wasn't a hard hit (yet), but the runner (Stubbs I think) had made contact with Utley as he was releasing the ball. In addition, Howard didn't move his feet to get the ball. Howard just moved his arms, but since his foot was on the middle of the bag, he could have moved his foot to the end of the bag and stretched and he likely would have gotten the ball, since the play as it was had the ball just hit off of Howard's glove.

I agree, they weren't awful errors. But they're still two throws that you expect him to make.

[italstallianion]

Agreed, but that's because Utley is (normally) a very good fielder. I wouldn't expect most 2b to make both plays, but Utley is generally a good enough fielder that I had thought that both plays would have been made.

[yankees228]

That could prove to be a turning point.
