Phillies Fans’ Response To Dan Uggla’s Grand Slam

Phillies Fans’ Response to Dan Uggla’s Grand Slam.

Yes, I viewed this game.  Dom Brown hit a 3 run HR to go ahead in the 8th, 6-5.  Rosenberg  had just gave up 3 back to back HR’s in relief in the 8th.  No pitcher since 1914 had allowed home runs to the only three batters?

Papelbon wasn’t available to close since he pitched 3 previous games. Really, making $13M in 2014, can’t close? He only pitched 3 innings in 3 days. Enter Diekman. He loads the bases.

The Braves Uggla (the Phillie killer) hits a Grand Slam to ruin the Phillies win.

Braves 9-6.

Enough said, but this game hurt this Phillies fan. ( I was texting my cousin Marjorie during the 8th until the end of game, another die-hard)

Bring back Charlie.

MLB Philadelphia Phillies Pull Out Win 5-4 Against First Place Atlanta Braves, July 5, 2013

MLB Philadelphia Phillies Pull Out Win 5-4 Against First Place Atlanta Braves, July 5, 2013.

My cousin Marjorie (another die-hard Phillies Fan) and I decided to do a mental health break and attend a Phillies game.  It was an unbelievable event as Howard took one deep when we were walking late into the Citizen’s Bank. Score was 5-0 in 5th. Then, the Braves started creeping back in the 7th as Lee was having a meltdown. 5-4, Oh no, as Marjorie and I started yelling to the field to our beloved Phillies. Papelbon ( the matador, For Whom the Bell Tolls) and Chooch came in  the 9th and closed down the first place chop chop tomahawk, Atlanta Braves.  ( I always despised that chant)

Praise the Lord for little things in life.

Hope still lies in the Phiilies as they have a long home stand before the All Star Break July 16, 2013 ( BTW, that day is my Birthday)

Excellent seats, great time.  Then we headed to Xfinity Live for Chickie and Pete’s famous Crab Fries.

Below are some photos from the game. Everyone likes their picture taken. ( even the Mets fan sitting with the girl next to us.  He was rooting for the Braves because he hates the Phils. But that was OK. )

All was well at the Ballpark last night.  The Girls (women) didn’t have their children with them. We could yell, yell and yell some more.  They tend to sublimate our limitless amount of energy.

Lee, Phils pick up crucial win over first-place Braves

Atlanta Braves 6-3 loss to St. Louis Cardinals, Infield Fly?

Posted in News by Donna, tagged , , , , , , , on October 5, 2012| 3 Comments »

MLB Atlanta Braves 6-3 loss to the  St. Louis Cardinals one game wild card playoff. Questionable infield fly in 8th inning you bet.  I started watching the game in the 6th then with 2 extra umpires on the field, then they blow this call?

Game is under protest.  But it doesn’t matter.

Major League Baseball must adapt to current technology and submit themselves to review. Watch the tape.
