It’s even better when Roy Halladay’s on the hill straight mowing dorks down like my neighbor’s kid (who I offered a beer to the other day upon his cuttering my grass only to have him be all, “I’m only 16″ and then I was all, “Ayden, that was a test- and you just failed”). AP Photo, taken with melt-proof lens “But ZWR I know it’s SRHPY and you’re extra unfocused on Fridays as it is but the topic du jour is Chooch so before you get any further maybe tell us how #VOTEFORCHOOCH did we didn’t watch the game or read about it before coming to the bolg so basically you’re our source on the matter!” Oh, you know Chooch went 4-5 with 3 RBI.

The lower seeded teams in the League Division Series in both leagues will get to host games one and two this October, with the higher seeded teams getting to host the final three games if needed.

Yes, he has the closer mentality we speak about all the time.

Donkey Nation + Roy- I’m the man who loves you! You rule (pot kettle black). No worries, they were able to quickly move on to their reservations, and weren’t impelled to watch HLHIII’s entire work-out, which surely would have left them scrounging for some after-hours dive in the poor places (last night). Jesus, etc.

Yeah, that’s right- stare in amazement at THE CHOOCH. Getty Images Think on that- offensive hero, team leader, and shepherd of the Kendrick – Contreras victory flock

The Phillies got off to a fast start by scoring seven runs in the top of the first inning, only to give up six runs in the bottom of the inning. And we were off.

Photo: Getty Images  I tweeted toward the end of the Phillies 9-2 victory in Wrigley Field last night that this was the kind of win where we would wake up the next morning and wonder aloud if the Phillies got their swagger back. For the first time all season the Phillies have won four consecutive games, thanks to a more than adequate performance by the much-maligned Kyle Kendrick on the mound, even in the face of adversity.

Here he is enjoying  a beverage with Mike Schmidt for a Sports Illustrated photo.  Placido Polanco’s first home run of the season sure was a memorable one. Polanco’s two-run homer to left center field last night in the eighth inning of a damp game against the Houston Astros pushed the Phillies lead to 5-1 , taking the game out of a save situation and making victory just a little more certain for a team that has struggled to close games out.
