September 24, 200916 yr Nice to see the team has some fight left in them. And the Phillies are f*cked with Lidge in the playoffs.
September 24, 200916 yr Awesome comeback! Suck sh*t, Lidge. Kudos to Fredi for making the right moves - pinch hitting Gaby, Gload and Carroll at the right times.
September 24, 200916 yr Nice win. I didn't see it all but I did see the good parts. We need a couple more like this and we'll need some help.
September 24, 200916 yr That was awesome. Pure and plain awesome. Bad umpiring? No problem, we did that sh*t. Man, it was so great I started laughing out of happiness.
September 24, 200916 yr I think Hanley showed great character and patience in that last at-bat. I mean his calls were terrible and he just stayed in there. Well done team. :thumbup
September 24, 200916 yr what a great win for this team. show that they wont go down without a fight. and i dont care what anybody says, you gotta love brett carroll. #25 in your programs, but definitly near the top in your hearts. (atleast in mine)
September 24, 200916 yr Closers role overrated :lol What happened to him anyway? Has everyone just figured him out? He had the umpire in his pocket and he still blew it.
September 24, 200916 yr Closers role overrated :lol How does that prove that it isn't? If it had been Lidge in the 8th and he blew the game then, would it matter? A bad pitcher is a bad pitcher.
September 24, 200916 yr Author Also, take note ESPN. Marlins games are full of excitement. Maybe you'll reconsider how many Fish games you want to show next season.
September 24, 200916 yr Closers role overrated :lol What happened to him anyway? Has everyone just figured him out? He had the umpire in his pocket and he still blew it. Remember, he was "Light Out Lidge" until this before sucking for a few years in Houston. He then went to Philly, had a good year, and then reverted right back to Lidge. He's got a case of the nerves, I think.
September 24, 200916 yr That was awesome. I said "thank you, Cantu" over and over. They really needed to get past those bad strike calls, and they did. And then the walk off hit... wow, that was great.
September 24, 200916 yr Ok, so when Cantu batted in Gload and got Hanley to 3rd and Hanley pointed at Cantu and he pointed back........I may or may not have teared up.....
September 24, 200916 yr Also, take note ESPN. Marlins games are full of excitement. Maybe you'll reconsider how many Fish games you want to show next season. Good point! =] I voted for BC just because that last hit was amazing, it made me happy and me jump around like a lunatic!
September 24, 200916 yr I like lidge (cuz he went to notre dame) but this makes me sooo happy. Sorry Brad, but you just owned, and i love it.
September 24, 200916 yr Author Ok, so when Cantu batted in Gload and got Hanley to 3rd and Hanley pointed at Cantu and he pointed back........I may or may not have teared up..... You are not the only one
September 24, 200916 yr Man i am so glad i at least got to see the 9th, what a win! I really liked the fact that Freddi went out there and stuck up for Baker, and BC coming up huge for the team is always a pleasure to see.
September 24, 200916 yr Closers role overrated :lol How does that prove that it isn't? If it had been Lidge in the 8th and he blew the game then, would it matter? A bad pitcher is a bad pitcher. Oh, I don't know Rab because he blew the save and lost the game when they should have won. He didn't pitch the 8th so it doesn't matter. Just goes to show you that perfection one year doesn't equal perfection the next....could that mean that players are human? Either way good win and the closers role wasn't overrated tonight, that is if you were a phillies fan.
September 24, 200916 yr Sorry if this is a bit off-topic but this thought just popped into my head thinking about his game-winning at-bat and his other clutch hits for us this year. Is anyone else really excited about the prospect of Brett Carroll winning the RF job out of spring training next year? Assuming Coghlan switches back to the infield: Ross - LF Maybin - CF Carroll - RF Best defensive outfield in the league? He has had some amazing clutch hits for us this year, and he's starting to show his power too. Really hopeful that he gets a shot and puts it all together.
September 24, 200916 yr That was an awesome ending. I remember being laughed at for suggesting Brett get some playing time instead of Cameron Maybin early in the season. I guess all your saber metrics didn't help because Brett is one day going to be an everyday player and Cameron is STILL a bum.
September 24, 200916 yr Carroll should have already been in the starting lineup all year this year. Its the same thing with Ross a few years ago. They are afraid to play him everyday or something, i dunno.
September 24, 200916 yr Carroll should have already been in the starting lineup all year this year. Its the same thing with Ross a few years ago. They are afraid to play him everyday or something, i dunno. It's because the fans and management have some sick love affair with bums with "potential". Meanwhile it's been forever and guys like Hermida still stink it up all season long.
