Game 36 Thread: May 14 @ Phillies, 10a

MANNYWATCH: 44 GAMES

Chad Billingsley (5-1, 2.45) vs. Cole Hamels (1-2, 6.17).

COMMENTS: Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey! Did we need that one last night or what? Even better, the rest of the division lost, leaving the Giants 4.0 games behind the Dodgers, with the Rockies, Padres and Diamondbacks a collective 23 games under .500.

Now that old friends have had their way—former Dodgers Chan Ho Park and Jayson Werth, and former Phillie Randy Wolf—today's getaway-day rubber match is about (flips coin) settling scores. Billingsley wants to stick it to the team that rocked him in last year's playoffs, and Jonathan Broxton wants another shot at Matt Stairs.

In the other dugout we have Hamels, so dominant in October but off to a rough start this year. He pitched solidly in his last start, however, so his performance today will determine which team will be getting its mojo back. Call me biased, but I vote for us.

Booger said...

Our Dad would have wanted it that way!

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

Nothing can keep up with the Tron!
His pitches are like light cycles.

Actually, I'm just peaking at the score on Gameday. So that's all conjecture and hyperbole.

Broxton is a winner and a loser!

Steve Sax said...

2-1 vs. Phillies--this is HUUUUUUUGE for the team.

Stop the "Dodgers will die without Manny" presses!

Stop the "Dodgers will suck against the NL East" presses!

wow, I need a drink.

Steve Sax said...

Colorado, SD both losing, though SD by much much worse.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Only bad thing is that Chad didn't get the win and Brox gets the undeserved win.

Other than that, like I said early in the season, it's all about winning series, not sweeping series.

Good win nonetheless.

Booger said...

Florida, here we come!!!

Booger said...

Which client should I bill for all this time spent on the message board?

Booger said...

whoever it is, i'm sure they will understand.

karina said...

This team, with or without Manny, has a lot of heart.

Go Blue!
