Think they were in 2nd a day here and there. Not quite wire to wire. Then the Marlins lost about 30 games in a row. They are an awesome team... in May.

If Ryan Howard can knock in 17 more runs by the end of the season, he would become just the seventh major leaguer ever to total 800 RBI over a six-year span.

We're looking at a veritable R6 lovefest with all the SABR-cult guys in Wisconsin this weekend. :shock:
Those RBI have nothing to do with the 5 straight division titles Jeags.

Interesting look at Vanimal on why he deserves ROTY consideration. Kimbrel is good, but pitching out of the bullpen doesn't even come close to comparing to being a starter. It just doesn't.
OK, with 42 saves, a 1.62 ERA, and one of the highest strikeout rates of all time for a relief pitcher, Craig Kimbrel will win the NL Rookie of the Year Award, perhaps in unanimous fashion. Kimbrel hasn't been perfect -- he's blown five saves -- but he has dominated opponents and has a good chance to become the 12th pitcher to record 50 saves in a season.
But I've been more impressed with Phillies rookie right-hander Vance Worley, who won again on Thursday to push his record to 10-1 with a 2.85 ERA. Here's a fun statistic courtesy of Elias: The Phillies have won 13 consecutive Worley starts, the third-highest total in the NL in the past 15 years (the Cardinals won 17 straight Chris Carpenter starts in 2005 and the Braves won 15 straight John Smoltz starts in 1996).
That ERA is no accident, as Worley has struck out 7.8 batters per nine innings with a nifty strikeout-to-walk ratio of 90-to-33. The big surprise is that Worley has developed into a good strikeout pitcher despite a mediocre fastball that averages 90 mph. It was that lack of a big heater that had Baseball America rank Worley as just the 11th-best prospect for the Phillies heading into the season. It made sense: Two years ago, Worley had an ERA over 5.00 in Double-A. He lost weight last season and improved, but with 119 strikeouts in 158 innings between Double-A and Triple-A, he hardly had numbers that screamed future major league starter. "Worley profiles as a back-of-the-rotation starter," wrote Baseball America. "With no plus pitch and his reliance on command, he may be best suited for a middle-relief role in the long term."
Injuries to Joe Blanton and then Roy Oswalt opened up a rotation slot for Worley and he took advantage. In 17 starts, he's allowed one or no runs 10 times. His somewhat jerky motion is a little deceptive, but he's pretty simple in his approach: He's thrown his fastball over 65 percent of the time, gets ahead of the hitters, paints the outside corner to left-handers and tries to get righties to chase his slider low and away. He does a great job holding runners (he's allowed just two stolen bases all season, and both of those came in one game). Maybe he's been a little lucky in his home run percentage on flyballs, but there's nothing that indicates his season is a total fluke. And it will be interesting to see who Charlie Manuel gives the ball to as his No. 4 starter in the playoffs, Worley or Oswalt.
So, yes, Kimbrel has all the saves. But Worley, who has pitched nearly 40 more innings, deserves top rookie consideration.

i was helping someone move last night. They were up 4-3 (was checking my iphone for scores). Then i checked it about an hour later and they lost 8-4? Bullpen blow up? Looks like Hamels was doing pretty well.

hamels was good but not unhittable as he has been at times. bastardo walked 1st 2 so charlie took him out and put herndon in and he got absolutely rocked. 3 moon shot homeruns in a half inning. he is dreadful.
Based on set lists I think the Spectrum shows blow away the PJ20 shows. TOTD reunion without Times of Trouble??? :?

without being there to get the vibe of the weekend i'd have to agree with you after looking at the set lists. althought I think seeing TOTD reunion would have been cool (once maybe not twice) there are probably 50 or 60 PJ songs I'd rather see/hear. And unique songs doesn't make it interesting (education meh and help help is probably the worst song PJ ever has put out in my opinion).
anyone else notice that that Franklin Institute is playing the PJ20 movie for like 5 or 6 straight nights? i think it's the 23rd to like the 27th or something so if you can't make the 20th at the Troc (ill be at phils game that night) plenty of time to see it in the ensuing days.
as for phils again what is the fascination with getting a baseball? losers like that should be banned from stadiums for like a year for reaching over. oh at least one had a jersey so i guess that sort of makes him a fan. what dbags.
going to be an interesting 7 game stretch if the weather cooperates. going to be a long 3 days with the braves as i think they are going to try and get those games in even if they have to wait all night with no off days. should be fun.
Philly shows blew these shows away,not even close. Msg 2 blew these shows away. Had a great time but the guests killed the mojo imo. Awesome time glad I went but I can't wait to be home. Something tells me I saw the fixer in buffalo wild wings wearing an utley shirt.
Would it be possible to call a truce before this week's series and just split with one another? That way the Cardinals and their drunk asshole of a manager, and soon to be 1/2 billion dollar man can just go away. Or, if you decide to get us back for the near sweep at the Bank, just go ahead and destroy the Cards while you're at it.

Not sure how the pitching matchups will shake out. Brewers are a really good home team. Phillies, of course are really good at home and away.
Just glad there's a dome so there won't be any more rain delays.

They were great shows but I relieved after these shows just how spoiled I truly am by the shows I've seen already. These were my 18-19th shows and I felt like I didn't get my pj fix. Loved the totd,but it took away from pj and that's what its all about imo.

i watched the whole show last night on that webcam. never done that before. it was cool commenting with people in here and on that site about the show as it was happening. video was bad but audio was good. i thought it was a very good show up until all the totd stuff. they should have left for night 1 and focused on nothing but pearl jam all night long. kinda dozed off during reach down which felt like it was 15 minutes long.

ha it's hamels v. narv-dog, Halladay v. Marcum, Lee v. Wolf, Worley v. Gallardo...two series and you don't ever see Grienke and we get Lee and Halladay both times. Oh well rather win against the best to get there I guess. I just want the Cards out of here.

OK, with 42 saves, a 1.62 ERA, and one of the highest strikeout rates of all time for a relief pitcher, Craig Kimbrel will win the NL Rookie of the Year Award, perhaps in unanimous fashion. Kimbrel hasn't been perfect -- he's blown five saves -- but he has dominated opponents and has a good chance to become the 12th pitcher to record 50 saves in a season.
But I've been more impressed with Phillies rookie right-hander Vance Worley, who won again on Thursday to push his record to 10-1 with a 2.85 ERA. Here's a fun statistic courtesy of Elias: The Phillies have won 13 consecutive Worley starts, the third-highest total in the NL in the past 15 years (the Cardinals won 17 straight Chris Carpenter starts in 2005 and the Braves won 15 straight John Smoltz starts in 1996).
That ERA is no accident, as Worley has struck out 7.8 batters per nine innings with a nifty strikeout-to-walk ratio of 90-to-33. The big surprise is that Worley has developed into a good strikeout pitcher despite a mediocre fastball that averages 90 mph. It was that lack of a big heater that had Baseball America rank Worley as just the 11th-best prospect for the Phillies heading into the season. It made sense: Two years ago, Worley had an ERA over 5.00 in Double-A. He lost weight last season and improved, but with 119 strikeouts in 158 innings between Double-A and Triple-A, he hardly had numbers that screamed future major league starter. "Worley profiles as a back-of-the-rotation starter," wrote Baseball America. "With no plus pitch and his reliance on command, he may be best suited for a middle-relief role in the long term."
Injuries to Joe Blanton and then Roy Oswalt opened up a rotation slot for Worley and he took advantage. In 17 starts, he's allowed one or no runs 10 times. His somewhat jerky motion is a little deceptive, but he's pretty simple in his approach: He's thrown his fastball over 65 percent of the time, gets ahead of the hitters, paints the outside corner to left-handers and tries to get righties to chase his slider low and away. He does a great job holding runners (he's allowed just two stolen bases all season, and both of those came in one game). Maybe he's been a little lucky in his home run percentage on flyballs, but there's nothing that indicates his season is a total fluke. And it will be interesting to see who Charlie Manuel gives the ball to as his No. 4 starter in the playoffs, Worley or Oswalt.
So, yes, Kimbrel has all the saves. But Worley, who has pitched nearly 40 more innings, deserves top rookie consideration.

The ONLY thing better than a glass of beer is tea with Miss McGill
A protuberance of flesh above the waistband of a tight pair of trousers
3 straight days and in the playoffs Herndon would never come into a close game.

hamels was good but not unhittable as he has been at times. bastardo walked 1st 2 so charlie took him out and put herndon in and he got absolutely rocked. 3 moon shot homeruns in a half inning. he is dreadful.
Marlins????? :x
hey i'll take a 5-2 road trip any day of the week.
the umpiring in baseball right now is absolutely atrocious. that call should never have been allowed to be reviewed.

without being there to get the vibe of the weekend i'd have to agree with you after looking at the set lists. althought I think seeing TOTD reunion would have been cool (once maybe not twice) there are probably 50 or 60 PJ songs I'd rather see/hear. And unique songs doesn't make it interesting (education meh and help help is probably the worst song PJ ever has put out in my opinion).
anyone else notice that that Franklin Institute is playing the PJ20 movie for like 5 or 6 straight nights? i think it's the 23rd to like the 27th or something so if you can't make the 20th at the Troc (ill be at phils game that night) plenty of time to see it in the ensuing days.
as for phils again what is the fascination with getting a baseball? losers like that should be banned from stadiums for like a year for reaching over. oh at least one had a jersey so i guess that sort of makes him a fan. what dbags.
going to be an interesting 7 game stretch if the weather cooperates. going to be a long 3 days with the braves as i think they are going to try and get those games in even if they have to wait all night with no off days. should be fun.
Not sure how the pitching matchups will shake out. Brewers are a really good home team. Phillies, of course are really good at home and away.
Just glad there's a dome so there won't be any more rain delays.

Well now we hear it from somebody who was there. I mean, Times of Trouble is the best TotD song. Not to play that at THE TotD reunion? :roll:

i watched the whole show last night on that webcam. never done that before. it was cool commenting with people in here and on that site about the show as it was happening. video was bad but audio was good. i thought it was a very good show up until all the totd stuff. they should have left for night 1 and focused on nothing but pearl jam all night long. kinda dozed off during reach down which felt like it was 15 minutes long.
glad you had a good time though dude.
