The season's well and truly on, with a full day of games either finished or wrapping up right now. The Phillies look like they're in good shape again, as much as you can tell anything from nine innings of murdering the Nationals. A six-RBI day for Placido #$%!ing Polanco is just weird, but I'll take it.

Now you're on track for 50-odd wins. Yay, statistics!

Liking the Phils so far, but let's see what happens when they play a team that belongs above AA.

What the hell.

Also glad to see my common fantasy picks of Brian Matusz and David Price working out so far.

Fantasy baseball? Good lord, Kilga. You can't hate life that much.

Needs more fantasy golf.

Philadelphia leads the major leagues in almost every offensive category and has allowed the fewest runs in baseball. I know, this isn't going to last, but still, it's pretty badass.

In fairness, the Phillies have defied their own suckage for at least 2 seasons in a row. So I wouldn't hold anything as a given!

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #9 on:** April 16, 2010, 06:39:22 PM »

Stay classy, Philly fans.

Baseball is the best fantasy sport. Takes more actual thinking and commitment than anything else. <3

Police identified that individual as 21-year-old Matthew Clemmens from Cherry Hill, New Jersey.

That explains everything.

Well, things started good for the Giants this year, but everything is back to normal now. Sanchez and Romo combine to throw a 1 hitter and the Giants lose 1-0. (Sanchez did give up 3 walks, but still.)

Scar · « **Reply #12 on:** April 24, 2010, 05:17:54 PM »

Forget about last night's performance and you could say the Rays have one of the deepest pitching squads in baseball!

Shale · « **Reply #13 on:** May 30, 2010, 04:30:39 AM »

PERFECT! Holy shit.

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #14 on:** June 03, 2010, 02:38:15 AM »

Homicide watch for Jim Joyce officially in effect.

Shale · « **Reply #15 on:** June 03, 2010, 02:52:51 AM »

So, talent-wise, we had three perfect games in a month. Wow.

Sir Donald 3.2 · « **Reply #16 on:** June 04, 2010, 07:52:06 PM »

I read that at the time, Joyce did not think that Galaragga (or whatever the kid's name is) had control of the ball. And in the pros, ties to the batter-runner.

So let's just call that play an E-1 and give Gallaragga a No-Hitter.

Then again, I didn't think that Halladay's 1st Baseman had his foot on the bag for #27 when I saw that live on ESPN.

I just say, put the entire half of the 9th in question under Review when you have a potential Perfect Game or No Hitter. History needs to be defended from Judicial Error!

Dunefar · « **Reply #17 on:** June 09, 2010, 01:58:27 AM »

So this Strasburg kid might be a bit real.

Shale · « **Reply #18 on:** June 09, 2010, 02:15:37 AM »

Uh yeah. Fourteen fucking strikeouts in seven innings is WTF.

Dunefar · « **Reply #19 on:** June 09, 2010, 02:30:29 AM »

Set the Nats record for Ks in a game. Crazy shit.

No. If it's historical, you have to deal with the same conditions you dealt with before. Treating it special just because it's OMG history is stupid. If you can't seal the deal without it, you don't deserve it. Period. Even ref foul-ups like this one are totally within the confines of it. In the perfect games in the past, there were a few close calls that went in the pitcher's favor too.

Dunefar · « **Reply #21 on:** June 09, 2010, 04:20:42 AM »

Ah, bullshit. The ref fucked up, there's nothing wrong with correcting that. The kid deserved the game, he was screwed with a terribly botched call.

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #22 on:** June 09, 2010, 05:24:54 AM »

A friend of mine was at the Strasburg game (she actually works as a school reporter for her college so she gets plenty of access to O's and Nats games). She said the place was like they had a rock concert going with how raucous it was.

She's snagging me a Strasburg shirt, too. \m/

And holy moley does that kid have some movement on his pitches. Those sweeping fastballs were nuts.

Shale · « **Reply #23 on:** June 09, 2010, 05:28:16 AM »

Yeah. I knew he threw heat, but from what we saw today (against the Pirates, granted) he could be a pro pitcher on touch alone. Those breaking balls were brutal.

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #24 on:** June 09, 2010, 05:35:09 AM »

Yeah, Pirates or no Pirates, no one was catching up to some of those fastballs, and if he can throw his curve consistently, no one's going to be touching that either.
