This talk of tiebreakers makes my head hurt. Win three and the rest will take care of itself.
Here’s the plan: On offense, hit the ball toward Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder. On defense, keep the ball away from those two. Also, say nice things about Chris Capuano; then he can’t hurt you. Go Padres!
Way to strand him at third, Mad Dog. Let’s get the lead back with the top of the order…
Rockies’ season is slipping away – down 4-1 in the sixth with Webb on the mound and only at 64 pitches…
TIme to get someone up in the bullpen…
That was a horribly bad call. If that keeps us out of the playoffs…
Good thing Froemming is retiring at the end of the year. That’s the worst call I’ve seen this season.
MLB seriously needs to fire that ump. What an awful call.
horrible call.
That call was total B.S.!!!
If there was ever a sign that the umps had it in for us this series, that was it
Kharma coming our way
Way for Mad Dog and Khalil to rescue Froemming from his screw up.
Great DP to get out of the inning and let Froemming off the hook.
Wow… not even close. this could freaking hurt.
Did you just see how Adrian showed Bruce the ball to make sure he saw that one?
Unbelievable how bad that call was. Between Maddux getting screwed at home and that call, things do look a little suspect.
or not… whew.
5 innings, tie game, withstood the onslaught, and into their bullpen. I like the chances. Go Pads
KG Baby.
Who says Khalil is over-valued?
there.
I really hope Bell is availible tonight, after 2 innings last night…. this looks like a nail-biter.
Khalil giving a clinic on how not to run the bases…
Rockies score in the bottom of the seventh – down 4-2
Glass half dude, who are you pulling for in that DB v. Rockies game? T. Gywnn makes a good point that if we win tonight, Rockies drop behind by two.
Talk about him in the paper this AM — explosion at night.
If that doesn’t hit Dillon, it’s tied.
That was about the worst baserunning you could possibly do there by Greene. Turns it probably wouldn’t have mattered but he should have been on 3rd with one out there. Getting thrown out on the bases wasn’t great either.
Ned Yost seems like he’s taken managing tips from Bruce Bochy. Not getting Corey Hart 600 at-bats probably cost them the division. Interesting that Prince Fielder is a better baserunner than Khalil.
OK it wasn’t an explosion…..my bad.
Go Padres….let’s go get ‘em.
Cla needs to DP this
Phills win 6-0.
Cla DPed this
Good call, Eric!!!
Let’s end their season now.
73 – that’s a tough call, but there are too many in the WC race to guess at which one should lose. Webb loss tonight and a Padres win? … get the division.
Webb’s out of the game for the DBacks
How huge was that DP?
I root against the DBacks because I feel their success is a pythagorean injustice.
Not necessarily a Webb ‘loss’.. just a D-Backs L tonight.. Micah’s already pitched. Rockies could win out… If the Padres win (and they will), i’m pulling for the Rockies right here.
If not, i take it back
Rockies down to their last three outs to save their season.
Hello Scott
Linebrink still has that annoying habit of throwing fastballs right down the middle. Kouz just missed his.
Linebrink is throwing crappier for them than he did for us.
Linebrink actually hasn’t been that bad for the Brewers. His strikeout are way up — 24 in 24.2 for the Brewers, 25 in 45 innings for the Padres. He’s given up 37 hits and walks in those 24.2 though so his low ERA (2.96) is probably a mirage.
90: That was the whole point, wasn’t it?
KG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Khalil should be traded, right?
All the comments yesterday got KG going….
I guess the fastballs down the middle aren’t annoying if you’re on the other team, though
Linebrink’s fastball just isn’t good enough to throw by batters anymore. Fastball on the outside part of the plate and Khalil just hammered it.
94: I apologize for the snark, but man, I get really frustrated when people tear him apart here.
KG == Kane Gardens.
Good Guy & Good Player.
At this rate, we clinch a tie for a play-off spot with a win today – Mets and Rockies would be 2 back, with 2 left.
