Phightins

Ernie Johnson is brutal as play-by-play guy. He has no clue what is going on.

Oh, I wasn't even talking about this game. Just in general. It's a total fraud and it's amazing that some people actually think they are accurate.

TBS' Pitch Trax needs to die...right now. As does Fox's...and ESPN's....and any other station that has one. Biggest farce in pro sports.

Whoever had "final out of the top of the 1st" in the "when will we have our first blown call in game 6" pool, you are a winner! Took just as long for Ernie Johnson's first terrible call, too. Even if that throw would have somehow rightly gotten Granderson out, the ball Molina threw was hardly a "strike", EJ. EDIT nevermind he was out! Still a terrible call by EJ though!

Is he still rocking Gaston the lumberjack?

All I know is that if a certain guy that wears orange and #13 did that, he'd be sitting for a lot longer than 6 games. Same goes for a lot of guys, probably. Pretty sad how biased the league is with this stuff. I know track record should play into the decision, but not this much.

Only 6 games for Rypien. Wow...I was expecting way more.

Bloody groin > bloody sock

So Doc pulled his groin in the 2nd inning and pitched through it. Wow.

You are right, I didn't realize it was this bad though. Supposedly 20,000 total tickets still available for games 6 and 7. Good lord.

Wow....that's a bargain for this close to game time.

That was just the 32nd homerun to right field hit by a right handed batter ever at AT&T Park. Kind of remarkable. So sad watching this guy kick [expletive] and take names only to know there's a 0.5% chance he is back next year .

And there you have it...

That contract does not kick in for 2 years. But yes. Speaking of Ryan Howard. So ironic that his 2 best swings this series have come against Jonathan Sanchez and Javier Lopez, lol. Of every pitcher on the Giants staff, those are the last two you'd expect it against.

Also, I think everybody has their answer about why Doc did not pitch last night. Dude is worn down.

I was actually surprised to find the Giants have a slightly lower hitter BABIP (as of 2 innings ago...with such a small sample size it is changing rather drastically with literally every batter). If you want the up to date BABIP, here is the formula... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BABIP Anyway, I will eat my crow about the BABIP line, but I stand by everything else I said about the Giants being a bit luckier.

You are a troll. Have you read any of my commentary throughout this series? I have given plenty of reasons for why they are down 3-1. Luck is a big one, but certainly not the only one. They have brought much of this on themselves. Cannot deny the Giants luck this series though (up until this inning anyway).

But anyway...up until this point in the series, the Phillies and Giants have virtually identical offensive numbers across the board. Yet the Giants lead the series 3-1. Why, you ask? Learn the meaning of "BABIP" and get back at me. Of course, Charlie's gaffes last night played a big part in that.

Beat you to it. Kingfish/Flash sarcasm fail.

OK, I take back that [expletive] about the Phillies not getting breaks. The tides may be turning (fingers crossed). Triple post FTW

And Jeff Nelson has introduced himself to this series...

Hey, a runner on 2nd with nobody out. I have seen this script play out before....ugh.

Sometimes you can just tell when it is not your night (or series). And, well.....yeah.

They rarely hit and run, the one time they do it works perfectly, and Doc induced a tailor made double play that Utley botched. Again, breaks all going to Giants. As for Halladay...I guarantee you he was staring at Jeff Nelson. Pat is just an oversensitive prick, and always has been. (Loved him for that when he was here, BTW).
