Great game!! Too bad 6 people in Philly saw it!

Lee vs. Jimenez is great game 4 match-up, but I think Phils win close one and get Weds. off.

I can't believe it went past 2 AM EST.

I hope you're wrong about game 4, as I'll be there rooting for the Rox. Philly sure is tough, though. Great lineup.

I'm still thawing out from sitting at that game for over four hours last night. It was a great game and it is indeed too bad that it was on so late. Heck, I'm on Mountain Time and I didn't even get home until 1:30.

Either way you cook it though, four hours for a 9-inning game is an abomination. Nobody was throwing strikes consistently last night.

And I have to admit, I didn't see much of Philly this year, but that's one helluva good baseball team.

I remember seeing Brandon Webb calling them an All-Star lineup earlier this year. But, Jimenez is due to for a great outing, especially at home.

Should be fun!

Almost every pitcher was throwing strikes consistently.

The umpiring I saw last night was some of the worst I've seen in a long time. Utley clearly was hit by the foul ball, and the strike/ball decisions were ridiculous.

I take no responsibility for this slideshow of last night's game.

Your comment on the umpiring might very well be fair. However, I wasn't close enough or at the correct angle to be able to judge the balls and strikes. I'm just going by the numbers on the board which showed 146 balls being thrown out of 339 pitches.

It took less than a half inning to get yet another blown call that extended the inning for the Phillies...simply terrible.
