What kind of speed does Colvin have on the basepaths?
ie, should he have been looking to steal 3rd with Lee batting?

he's average.
They’ve used him as a pinch runner before…but only cause we didn’t have anyone better available at the time. He does hustle.

They run against all teams.
They’ve gotten caught this series but their aggressiveness is part of the reason why they are such a great team.

For anyone that has Time Warner Cable,
they’re doing a free preview of the extra innings package so you should be able to get the game.

They call him exxon on the Philly site for some reason.

And they are hitting him some…hopefully they can break through eventually. Good idea to run up his pitch count as well.

I haven't watched a game for about a month
Nor have I paid much attention to the team. Has something happened to Bob Brenly? Why is Todd Hollandsworth doing the color work opposite Len Kasper?

he misread the ball, or that's what Pat said

Yeah, but that was quite extreme.
He took two full steps to his left when the ball was going to his right.
Why do they always wanna run on our outfield arms?

DRINK MORE KOOLAID !!!!
All the beer is good there
Seemed like every pub had their own house brew. It was awesome!
+6000...
If I recall correctly, that was the approx number of breweries in W. Germant when I was there
I'm just upset that
I was only 18 when I was there and I didn’t have the appreciation for good beer that I do now. At that point I was just excited to legally drink any kind of alcohol at a bar.
