Whoa, Lara Croft action figure.

Anyway hopefully this means Halladay has settled back into God mode. Also known as "after first inning" mode.

Oh my god if Howard swings at that curveball at his feet one more time I will seriously drive down to the ballpark, force my way in, and start heckling him.

i don't like the city of detroit so i won't cheer for it's teams, but if detoit won the world series it'd be a "huh, that's cool, good for them" kinda thing for me and half the country probably wouldn't give a damn/acknowledge it

Domonic Brown knows how to take a pitch.

Charlie Manuel tried to beat it out of him. By god he tried to make him swing. But Brown refused to swing, bless his soul.

It's gotten to the point where, if we could DH, I'd DH Polanco.

He is literally a worse at-bat than Ryan Madson.

A few pitches earlier, he stood completely still as another pitch nearly hit him. Love that.

And then Pence and Howard make outs on one pitch each. Thank god Utley breaks up the DP so well.

Jimmy keeps trying to make Carpenter run out his at bats, which is as devious as it is ironic.

if Rollins were a Red Sox or Yankees player he would've held that until Carpenter started running

Utley

What the **** are you doing?

That's Yadier Molina behind the plate, if you haven't noticed.

And why is Pence not check swinging or putting his bat out there at all to distract him?

He looked out to me, but either way that was a very ill-advised steal attempt. We have to treat runners on base like the rarest diamonds right now.

There would seriously be nothing more agonizing than losing this game 1-0. Losing I can handle. We have a long, proud tradition of losing. But losing 1-0 with the best pitcher in all of baseball on the mound for us is completely unacceptable.

--

I just can't see how we win this now. I just can't see it. Utley is the only worthwhile at-bat who'll make another plate appearance at this rate. He'll need to, like, hit a solo home run or something.

I cannot believe we're going to lose this game 1-0. With Roy Halladay on the mound. At home. Against the god damn Cardinals.

I was wrong. There'd be one thing more agonizing than losing 1-0.

Losing 5-0 because of a Berkman Grand Slam.

Or a Halladay Slam.

And he strikes out and gets on first I don't even know what to say.

At least they're against a legitimate ace pitcher, not making some slightly above average guy look like Cy Young.

I'm glad you're feeling our pain. I love how the announcers are saying 'BUT RYAN HOWARD GETS TO HIT IN THE BOTTOM OF THE NINTH."

How is that supposed to be comforting?!

If all goes as planned, this game is going to end with Ryan Howard.

Most likely with Ryan Howard striking out.

All hail the $125million Howard contract era.
