Uncle needs to put one in the LF stands right about now.

These guys are all afraid to bunt for a hit. Drives me nuts.
Yep, clearly outside. But when you're dominating like Hamels is right now...you're gonna get those calls.
And with that, Stubbs k's to end the inning. 1 more chance boys. Walk off 3 run dinger anybody? :O)
Depressing.
We will learn from this series
Stubbs needs to play some winter ball and work on his contact issues...

I wonder if Hamels will get to complete his domination of the Reds or if Lidge will be given a chance to choke.
This series has made me feel like I'm in AA.
Game 1: Helplessness
Game 2: Frustration
Game 3: Acceptance.
Phillips, Votto & Rolen up to start the ninth.
I'll be interested to see whether the Phillies let Hamels start the 9th. Phillips is the only guy that's had some good cuts against him all day. It will be interesting to see if they start with Lidge or let Hamels go.
