Ben Francisco's Official Baseball Postseason Thread (No. 10)

Time to get it started all over again.

ADD: The only active No. 10 I could find on any team roster still alive.

 

Halos in 6...then in 6 again.

 

Nice to see someone told Chase Utley the playoffs started.

 

Hammel was so good early... Sigh.

At least we got to the Phillies' pen. That's certainly their weak point.

 

UMPIRE: "Hey, Tracy... Normally we give you 27 outs in a game. That cool?" TRACY: "Nah... I'd like 26. Cool with you, Manuel?" MANUEL: (No sign of a pulse).

 

it'd be funny if the yanks and rocks made it to the world series and the rocks kept alive the yanks' inability to beat the most recent expansion teams in the series (d'backs, marlins).

 

How are you posting and playing at the same time?

 

I'm really glad you pointed that out. Otherwise, I would have continued to use the term "we" and nobody else in the world would have given a shit.

Ass.

 

Man, do the Rockies have a bunch of clown pitchers. I think half of them were designated for assignment sometime this season.

 

Ron Mahay needs a job.

 

Colorado and the Angels and no one will watch... GO ROCKS GO (and me, a Phils Phan...)

 

Bringing this over from the other thread because it's worth mentioning. It's almost the same for the Phillies. Counting Victorino (a Rule 5 guy) and Werth (signed as a mediocre 26-year old free agent three years ago who has blossomed with the Phils), there's seven "homegrown" players in the lineup. Ibanez and Feliz are the only ones who spent the best years of their career elsewhere.
If you want to count signed/drafted guys, and include the pitcher, five of tonight's starting nine fall in that category.
Four of the Dodgers' eight regular position players were drafted by the team. Two of their starting pitchers, too.
Seems there's lots of "good guys" still left.
