[editor's note, by Rox Girl] bumped from the diaries.

A few things overheard while sitting in Section 109 in row 31 during yesterday's Rockies/Phillies game (RF line, 1 section from the Foul Pole about 30 rows from the field):

-My favorite part.  In Holliday's 1st AB of the game, the crowd chanted "Touch the Plate"....hilarous

-Philly sports talk radio on the drive back to DC was already calling for Utley to be benched in favor of Iguchi

-Holliday hit at least 1 BP HR out of the ballpark.  

-Holliday's 2nd inning foul ball was hit Really Really Really far.  Just crushed....it CLEARED the foul pole.

-Philly's fans with Helton coming up:  "Crap...just walk him."  "This guy always hits .400"

-Rockies early lead completely changed the game.  Totally took the crowd out of it.

-I hate those damn towels....but I still have one.  Need to figure out what to do with it.  

-Denny Bautista's "smile" in the Offical Program is ridiculous.  

-The Rocky theme song is played about every 5 min.  Honestly....could it be any more overdone?  The Phillie Phanatic dressed up in boxing gloves and a warmup robe to "box" some pasty white guy in a Rockies hat right in front of the Rockies Dugout inbetween innings (I think the 5th).  Naturally he was knocked out.  

-Phillies fan in the 4th inning:  "We have 1 HIT in 4 innings!!...this NEVER HAPPENS....COME ON!"

-I only hear 1 single "Rockies Suck" the entire game and it was on the way to the parking lot.  I only wore a Rockies Hat though (not my Helton jersey).....it is Philly.  I didn't have a death wish.

-What the hell was Hurdle pulling Francis in the 7th right after warmups???  I've never seen that.  I thought a wild Hawkins was the wrong choice against a patient Burrell....but Hawkins got Burrell to pop-up on the first pitch.  I think we lucked out on that one.

-Hawpe was getting an earful.  Phillie fans along the RF line were jarring at him all game long.

That's all I got.  GO ROCKIES!  I don't have tickets to today's game so I'll be home watching.  Go Morales!
