Phillies V Rockies Game 1
So sitting here at Cob central (i.e on my couch)
I'm sitting here watching Rockies @ Phillies, it's the bottom of the 7th and it's been a game that looks more like a AA game rather than a pro game. The announcers are blaming it on nerves and high wind. Tell me Phillies fans does it really get windy there? I'd like to think you guys don't have a difference in weather than I do here in Indy...just saying I'm not buying it.
The nerves I buy. Both teams seem to be having a day. (more so the Rockies of course since they are losing 5-0)
The leader of this Phillies lead has to be given to Cliff Lee he's pitching the game of his life. I mean come on it's now the 8th inning only 80 pitches in and no relever warming up in the pen. This is what hardcore pitching is about.

*Thanks ESPN for not copy protecting your box scores!
Howard, Werth, and Ibanez by far and large are the ones producing and directing the game.
Still kinda crazy that we are this far along with the wind and all with no homers.
Top of the 9th and the Philles are still going strong 5-0 and Lee is one strike away from a shut out.
The crowd is going nuts! I can't help but wonder if that really helps Lee or not. I know it's fun for the crowd, but those towels can be distracting.
And he lost it.
Hit to center and now the score is 5-1
What a great story it would have been if they were able to hold on to it. A complete game by Cliff Lee is still nothing to sneeze at, they did a great job.
The next batter is the out.
MVP by Cob: Cliff Lee by far. Pitching, stolen base (according to the announcer as the first stolen base by a pitcher)
