there was almost no chance that we were going to have another RH pinch hitting situation the rest of the game. i love charlie and all, but that decision was just utterly inexcusable.

did not make a great deal of sense

The only bad decision that mattered was starting Colette.

I came here to say this.

Thank you.

having Bruntlett on the roster at all is even worse.

in brunt's defense, he did scorch one a good 180 feet.

Ricky Bo is disgusted, is tired of Cole's act, and wants to know why the FOX camera is hanging over the fence

Just to screw with Hamels' head. And it worked.

Dutch says Cole is cooked....shut him down for the year

Yep. Francisco couldn't have done that.

Charlie live on CSN now

If the situation comes up again (i.e Game 7), we've got a serious decision on our hands between Hamels or Happ. I really don't know who I want more.

by **JFLNYC** » Sun Nov 01, 2009 00:53:32

No GDT for me tomorrow, folks. We're badly in need of a change of pace.

by **BigEd76** » Sun Nov 01, 2009 00:54:36

Charlie said the umps told him that even though the camera is over the fence, they're gonna rule it a HR if it hits it...

I think there's no decision at all. How could you possibly run Hamels out there for game 7 of the WS?

by **mcare89** » Sun Nov 01, 2009 00:55:18

Oh, the umps decided among themselves that the camera hanging over the fence is a HR. That's good to hear. From now on, Phillies fans, start reaching over the fence, interference=homers now.

Right now, I agree with you. Shut his ass down.

I don't know if I'm gonna change my mind or not on that one.

Charlie says he wouldn't hesitate to start Cole in game 7 because the first 3 innings were OK. whatever

by **cartersDad26** » Sun Nov 01, 2009 00:56:58

ugh - of course Charlie says he wouldn't hesitate to put cole in game 7.

And we thought Charlie's devotion to Lidge was going to cost us the post season. . .

by **mcare89** » Sun Nov 01, 2009 00:57:59

Charlie says that now, it doesn't mean he's gonna do it. He's gotta leave the possibility on the table for the time being.
