MLB.tv has this handy little feature that allows you, the viewer, to choose from up to 8 different camera angles to watch each postseason game on. It’s actually annoying as hell, but if you tune in to “Home Dugout Cam” whilst the Phillies are playing in Citizens Bank Park, you will notice that Charlie Manuel spends the entire game with both hands shoved down his pants chewing on Dubble Bubble. Observe:

A sad first post…..terrible pitch by Cole
October 8th, 2009 at 3:53 pm
Yorvit Torrealba? Really?
And did I see fucking ROCKIE FANS? Better have been someone’s family…
October 8th, 2009 at 3:57 pm
We REALLY need to run on this guy. Stop with the goddamn double plays…
October 8th, 2009 at 3:58 pm
i agree…stop the the goddamn double plays.
October 8th, 2009 at 3:59 pm
Fuck all this noise. I wanted a 3 or 4 hit shutout from Cole. Good Call by Cholly to start Clifton in game 1. Maybe Cole can’t just flip the switch like he thinks he’s can. Some one bring me some whiskey. I’m at work. Kthx
October 8th, 2009 at 4:06 pm
Cole was pitching fine until that home run……I’m really pissed at him right now.
October 8th, 2009 at 4:14 pm
who gives a damn on how many runs cole gave up? i know he’s a sinker baller, and the phils are doing their normal “close your eyes and swing as hard as you can” routine again.
October 8th, 2009 at 4:15 pm
There’s the walk. Aaron Cook DP in t-minus 2 minutes…
October 8th, 2009 at 4:21 pm
what the fuck. im about to throw my tv out the window. time to hit the booze
October 8th, 2009 at 4:22 pm
and why the FUCK is blanton in?
October 8th, 2009 at 4:32 pm
victorino was grinning like a crazy man before that base hit + error. love it.
October 8th, 2009 at 4:32 pm
…no questions asked.
October 8th, 2009 at 4:33 pm
Nothing wrong with Blanton pitching. Cole is off his game today. Blanton starts on Saturday, so this is a scheduled ‘throwing’ day.
October 8th, 2009 at 4:34 pm
Is this announcer saying ‘Utley’ or ‘Ugly’?
October 8th, 2009 at 4:38 pm
Tony, I never noticed until just now. It sure does sound like UGLY.
(By the way, loved your comment yesterday about the 2 C***S who grabbed at shane’s double. I featured it in the game chat)
October 8th, 2009 at 4:39 pm
Welcome.
And finally, THE BIG MAN~
That run’s worthless unless Utley scores from third. Or WERTHLESS? TOTAL-LEE WERTHLESS? hurrr
October 8th, 2009 at 4:43 pm
RRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 8th, 2009 at 4:43 pm
PhilaDEL-phia! FUCK YEAH!!!
October 8th, 2009 at 4:45 pm
feliz navidad!
October 8th, 2009 at 4:46 pm
oh well
October 8th, 2009 at 4:51 pm
Come on, stop trying to be so fancy, guys! Just get the out.
October 8th, 2009 at 4:59 pm
…You’re kidding me.
October 8th, 2009 at 4:59 pm
If Wheels were doing the game, he would say, “Ah Jeez. Let’s look at the replay to see where it hit him.” (Ball hits Happ on the knee) “Looks like it hit him in the ankle. Nope. Just above the ankle. You hate to see that.”
October 8th, 2009 at 5:07 pm
EYRE FORCE ONE
October 8th, 2009 at 5:07 pm
only one run. WHEW!
October 8th, 2009 at 5:07 pm

October 8th, 2009 at 5:11 pm

October 8th, 2009 at 5:19 pm
Ah, if nobody else plays my Name-Cole’s-Baby game, I’m going to feel stupid.
October 8th, 2009 at 5:23 pm
Maybe they will name it after Wheels….Muffin Hamels? Not sure about the middle name…
October 8th, 2009 at 5:28 pm
Ah, if nobody else plays my Name-Cole’s-Baby game, I’m going to feel stupid.
Cole Hamels Jr.

October 8th, 2009 at 5:52 pm
Feather Haired Hamels
October 8th, 2009 at 5:57 pm
We need some 9th inning magic. Madson was ELECTRIC.
October 8th, 2009 at 6:08 pm
Why wouldn’t Cliff Lee pinch run????
October 8th, 2009 at 6:08 pm
Clifton!
October 8th, 2009 at 6:11 pm

October 8th, 2009 at 6:14 pm
Yeah, I can barely take this kind of thing anymore
October 8th, 2009 at 6:16 pm
ARG!!
October 8th, 2009 at 6:17 pm
Doh!
October 8th, 2009 at 6:21 pm
No biggie, we’ll pick it up on Saturday! Pedro. Coors Field. Sub-freezing temps. Should be fun.
October 8th, 2009 at 6:29 pm
Ahh, at least Uncle Cholly post-game press confrences always cheer me up…
October 8th, 2009 at 6:37 pm
@Tony is Dynamic: Believe it or not, there are Rockies fans in the world. Yesterday, there were 5 of them about 4 runs below me in 133. Everytime the Rox got a hit, they’d stand up and dance like they just won something. It earned them a whole bunch of heckling. They left, presumably on a beer run, after the 6th inning. Surprisingly (not), they never came back.
Going into the bottom of the 9th, I said that if someone stepped up and prevented Colbert from taking the first loss of his playoff career, they should name the kid after whoever did it. Would have been hilarious had Francisco gotten on, and Matt Stairs been Matt Stairs. The kid’s name could have been Ass-Hammered Francisco Hamels.
October 8th, 2009 at 6:37 pm
I know I can check this other places but is Tyler Walker on the NLDS roster?
October 8th, 2009 at 6:48 pm
No, the Sweaty Yeti is not on the roster.
October 8th, 2009 at 6:57 pm
Lynnie that is the best anecdote I have heard all week.
October 8th, 2009 at 7:13 pm
I’m not one to advocate physical abuse of out-of-town fans, but honestly, if one (or more) of those Rox fans had taken a beer to the back of the head, I’d have laughed. And I would have laughed so hard I peed myself if said beer had been Coors Light.
October 8th, 2009 at 7:27 pm
Clifford Phifer Lee Hamels
October 8th, 2009 at 7:30 pm
It’s CLIFTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 8th, 2009 at 7:51 pm
Charlie also managed with his head up is ass today. Using starters as relievers in playoff games does not seem to work for Charlie. See Loshe, Kyle.
October 8th, 2009 at 9:30 pm
@Lynnie – Rox fans are a different breed. I worked in Denver last year for a bit and got to some Rox games. Wore my Tug McGraw jersey and didn’t receive any negative comments and in fact, received a few positive ones. If these people were from Denver, it’s no wonder they were happy-go-lucky – people out there are different
October 9th, 2009 at 7:54 am
I don’t think Coors should be allowed to be served at games in the post season against the Rockies.
ANyone else see that ball hit Holliday in the nuts? It seems appropriate, just 2 years too late.
October 9th, 2009 at 8:44 am
@lebowski: I just cannot take any baseball fan seriously when he or she is wearing purple.
@Watrick: I saw Holliday’s 2-base junk error, too. And laughed. Hard. Then I saw Ryan “I took steroids and still sucked, then whined about not wanting to be in the bullpen and now I’m a closer” Franklin blow the save and lose the game. And laughed. Harder.
October 9th, 2009 at 8:55 am
Charlie is going to be digging down to his elbows on Saturday night. That is going to be one cold-ass game to be in attendance.
October 9th, 2009 at 12:17 pm
Moyerismyhero….is my hero….
Floofykins Backpack Hamels is the one!!!!
October 9th, 2009 at 12:17 pm
And no one made an Al Bundy comment?
Too easy?
