Rockies vs. Phillies, Citizens Bank Park, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - August 10, 2004
The game.
Aaron Miles bats in the first for Colorado, facing Vicente Padilla.
[2048x1536]
Jeromy Burnitz in right field.
[2048x1536]
Jim Thome. Fan favorite.
[2048x1536]
The Padilla Flotilla celebrates a strikeout.
[2048x1536]
Thome bats against Joe Kennedy.
[2048x1536]
The shift is on. Look, no one on third.
[2048x1536]
[2048x1536]
Mike Lieberthal on first, with Todd Helton sort of keeping him close.
He's not going anywhere.
[2048x1536]
A very unenthusiastic 7th-inning stretch.
[2048x1536]
[2048x1536]
And now it gets interesting. Jason Michaels hits one out to tie the
score at 2.
[2048x1536]
[2048x1536]
[2048x1536]
The Phanatic enjoyed the home run.
[2048x1536]
[2048x1536]
Pinch hitter Doug Glanville.
[2048x1536]
Amaury Telemaco on in relief.
[2048x1536]
Thome with a chance to give the Phillies a lead.
[2048x1536]
[2048x1536]
The Phillies have a lead going to the 9th, and the overconfident fans
run for the exits.
[2048x1536]
Rockies rally in the 9th off Tim Worrell.
[2048x1536]
[2048x1536]
[2048x1536]
Rockies pinch-hitter Vinny Castilla with the tying and go-ahead runs
on base.
[2048x1536]
His double off the right field wall drives them both in. Rockies 4,
Phillies 3. The Rockies would add another on a bizarre Sac Fly
double play, where Castilla would score on a routine Sac Fly, but the
runner on first rounded second, but didn't touch up on his way back to
first, and was called out. So the Rockies have a 5-3 lead heading to
the bottom of the 9th.
[2048x1536]
Shawn Chacon coming on to try to close it out for Colorado.
[2048x1536]
Jimmy Rollins bats.
[2048x1536]
Bobby Abreu.
[2048x1536]
Phillies got one, and have the tying and winning runs on base for
Abreu. But he flies out to end it.
[2048x1536]
Rockies scorecard. The "OUT?" for Charles Johnson in the 9th is the
strange double play described above.
[2048x1536]
Phillies scorecard.
[2048x1536]
Happy Rockies.
[2048x1536]
