Better late than never

[PhilliesFan13]

Phillies beat the Marlins 4-0. Back-to-back complete game shutouts from Cole Hamels!

[Baseballking888]

Cole Hamels is the third Phillies pitchers in the last 20 years to throw back to back shutouts. He joins Cory Lidle (2, 2004) and Cliff Lee (3, 2011).

I feel a tough luck loss coming on for Vogelsong.

[GiantKing]

Well...not a tough luck loss, just a loss.

I guess Zimmerman thinks the Giants could come back.

I wonder which position player will pitch tonight?!!!! *crosses fingers*

[SPTO]

Well I think it's fair to say Carlos Villanueva has pitched well enough to be a major contender for a starting spot in the rotation next year

I"m really impressed by Moises Sierra the guy has the profile of a power hitter though the power stroke hasn't come yet despite him hitting one out tonight. He's a guy that you can't really play to pull as he uses the whole field and is actually more of an opposite field hitter.

David Cooper has been hitting a pretty good bat as well too. Depending on what the Jays do next season I could see him at DH/1B or as a bench player with a good bat to bring into the game.

If the season ended today, the Angels, Tigers, and Red Sox would miss the playoffs. That would of been inconceivable back in March.

Up here in Boston, the Red Sox missing the playoffs this year isn't exactly 'inconceivable'.

Kuroda of the Yankees with a no hitter through 6...


Yes, I'm trying to jinx the hell out of this right now...

[Baseballking888]

Kuroda pitches one helluva game.
