    We had to bail after 10 innings with a tired babysitter at the house waiting to go home and sleep. :cry:

    I stayed up and watched 18 innings, then went to bed, couldn't sleep, and turned TV back on to see the bottom of the 19th, and didn't realize until this morning that I missed Exxon pitching. :evil:

    we jetted after the 13th. the wife gets up at 5 every day so that is understandable. wish i could have stayed to the end though.

    got home, cracked open some more beers and watched the rest of the game with the dog. :lol:

    amazing night.....how about taking the series today?! :mrgreen:

    my last two games i've been to have been a combined 34 innings. last night and the sunday night bin laden Mets game. this team is playing 2 1/2 hour games on the norm and i get the two longest games by far. i was also at the Orioles 16 inning fireworks game a few years ago. crazy stuff. at work with about 4 hours of sleep does suck. will hit me tonight i'm sure. so far so good though. win today and its .500 for the tough stretch with the lousy teams coming up again. hard to argue with that.

    love the fireworks games. can leave after the final out and don't have to worry about traffic.

    Homer Bailey today - 2.08 ERA! :shock: Go Phils!

    he was a top 10 prospect. took him a while to figure things out, but he's good.

    I hope Lee is ready to throw 8 innings today

    Why do I feel like this team will lay up today? Just seems like they would.

    Good chance you will see the B team out there after the marathon last night.

    sardina is a definite
    could see howard/rollins/polanco out (i'd wait til sunday to rest kong since there's a lefty going then and he can't hit them)
    utley will be in

    Hopefully Lee pitches well. Need him to throw some innings

    What I liked about that article is that there's a Shawon Dunston Jr.

    nice start...

    he made up for dropping another little league pop up.

    he has looked better at the plate this week.

    RH'ers are terrified to pitch to him. Extra runner on base for Raul HR.

    heating up...almost looking like hittin' season :mrgreen:

    also-- i hereby apologize for ripping ibanez earlier this year. i thought he was done. but dude has been ripping the cover off the ball for a month now. hopefully he just levels out once this hot stetch is over and doesnt go through another of his prolonged slumps.

    gotta give charlie credit for sticking with him.

    I confirmed my understanding that Dusty Baker had two more pitchers in his bullpen last night. He is absolutely horrible. Now today Homer Bailey was removed after 4 innings for some reason.
