Tex Said Yes! Live Blogging Phillies!
My boss, “Tex” said YES!
I’m at the Phillies, my second live blogging sports event of the week.
Working at FOX 29 is AWESOME!
Ok, back to the game…
I’m here, so come talk to me. Rollins just stole second… GO PHILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7:29pm
Oh my gosh! These Phillies fans are SOOOO nice. Two guys behind me said, “Hey Kerri!”
I turned around, and they showed me my website on their phone… hilarious! Then this awesome other Phillies fan and his wife said, “We thought that was you!” I told them to be prepared to tell “Tex” that I was really working, and not just eating hotdogs and hanging out.
Here’s my seat– behind home plate, great view.
Beautiful night here at the ballpark, thanks Johnny B (aka Bolaris) More coming…
7:54
Have I ever told you how much I love Cole Hamels?
Didn’t think so…
Anyway, driving here? NBD (no big deal) since one of the guys I’m with (Paul Morrissey) came up with an AWESOME idea– take 4th. We did, it was perfect. There were naysayers in the car who are biting their tongues now, no names mentioned (Jay) Anyway, perfect night at the park, hey Phillies, top it off with a WIN!
Stay tuned…
Here’s Van watching the game.

Comment by Matty on 15 May 2008:
Chucky James is money tonight too… He’s Atlanta’s Brett Myers giving up the long ball…
Comment by Kerri-Lee on 15 May 2008:
Ha ha, Matty that is hilarious!! Really? That would be soooo great…
Comment by Kerri-Lee on 15 May 2008:
Johnny Cash– you are money. Sorry, couldn’t resist. Anyway, seats are good, and Cole Hamels is one of my favs…..
Comment by Kerri-Lee on 15 May 2008:
Nice homer Howard. These guys are hot tonight!
Comment by Kerri-Lee on 15 May 2008:
Hey Tex! Look! I’m at the park but I’m still doing tv.. you know you are psyched
Comment by Matty on 15 May 2008:
Chucky needs 1 more home run hit off him to reach his home run quota for the night haha…
Comment by phanatic on 15 May 2008:
Those look like great seats … Tex, It is nice that you let KL out for the night
Comment by Johnny Cash on 15 May 2008:
Ha HA! Yeah his ERA is awful 7.58
Comment by Johnny Cash on 15 May 2008:
Howard is back!
Comment by nova on 15 May 2008:
KL … You must be good luck … Howard hit a homer … You should get out more often
Comment by Jason Roberts on 15 May 2008:
How is the Phillies doing? I am watching the Flyers and they are doing great.
Comment by Johnny Cash on 15 May 2008:
3-0 phils
Comment by Jason Roberts on 15 May 2008:
Flyers are 3 to 0 FLYERS AHEAD
Comment by Matty on 15 May 2008:
Ok… Chuck James just met his quota of 3 home runs… Time to go back to his winter job installing windows for Lowe’s…
Comment by Kerri-Lee on 15 May 2008:
Jason, it’s so weird, I knew the Flyers were going to do well tonight! I hope they keep the momentum going and beat those doggone Penguins. I mean, Penguins? Whatev. The Phillies are in homerun heaven tonight, great game so far 5-0 Phillies.
Comment by Johnny Cash on 15 May 2008:
I think victorino swings for the fence to much. Do get me wrong Ill take a homer any day but I think he needs to play more small ball.
Comment by Kerri-Lee on 15 May 2008:
Cash, Roberts, Matty, so glad you are hanging out with me
Did I tell you that?
Comment by Phil Lee on 15 May 2008:
Watch for a foul ball!
Comment by Kerri-Lee on 15 May 2008:
Oh, you too Nova and Phanatic!
Comment by Kerri-Lee on 15 May 2008:
Hey Phil Lee! Welcome!
Comment by Johnny Cash on 15 May 2008:
It’s tough to lose to those pittsburgh teams. The fans out there are the worst.
Comment by Matty on 15 May 2008:
You can thank Miss Aikens… She pointed me in your direction and it just so happens yall are playing my Braves, so I’m very interested haha
Comment by Johnny Cash on 15 May 2008:
To bad you can’t buy us a beer KL.
Comment by Phil Lee on 15 May 2008:
Tell that young man to get some nachos-is he old enough to eat peanuts?
Comment by Kerri-Lee on 15 May 2008:
Just heard someone yell in the stands, 3-0 Flyers, true?
Comment by Kerri-Lee on 15 May 2008:
Matt– so glad to have you, I’ll even forgive that you’re a Braves fan
Comment by Kerri-Lee on 15 May 2008:
Ha! Phil Lee, are you at the game? LOL
Comment by Kerri-Lee on 15 May 2008:
Do you think the web department is going to get mad that I’m getting peanut debris in the laptop? (Scott, I didn’t say that, seriously)
Comment by Johnny Cash on 15 May 2008:
Just was the peanuts out of the keyboard with some beer. They won’t mind
Comment by Johnny Cash on 15 May 2008:
That was wash not was sorry..
Comment by nova on 15 May 2008:
Are those fox’s seats?? What a view!
Comment by phanatic on 15 May 2008:
its a big night for philly sports!
Comment by Kerri-Lee on 15 May 2008:
Nope, the beau’s law firm got me these. FOX has a box, but I want to be with the peeps tonight.
Comment by Kerri-Lee on 15 May 2008:
Going to buy a “toy” for the young Philly fan in our group. Back in a moment, surprise me with a bunch of awesome posts. KL
Comment by Phil Lee on 15 May 2008:
The view is ok. I like watching the game from Tony’s Baltimore Bar and Grill in AC.
Comment by Matty on 15 May 2008:
They just told a funny story on Braves radio about Philly fans… You guys cheered Chase Utley in his 1st major league at-bat when he hit a grand slam, then booed him and told him to go back to AAA when he struck out in his next at-bat… that’s hilarious…
Comment by Chris B on 15 May 2008:
Love the first pic of you in the glasses!
Looking GOOD!
Sorry you are missing the Flyers!
UP 3-0 after 1!
Comment by Chris B on 15 May 2008:
Watching Phils now during intermission.
Comment by Chris B on 15 May 2008:
HE WAS SAFE! BS!
Comment by Johnny Cash on 15 May 2008:
Coste runs as slow as pat
Comment by Matty on 15 May 2008:
I think that was the 1st player Diaz has ever thrown out…
Comment by Chris B on 15 May 2008:
KL - are you getting a beer? This connection is dragging!
Comment by Johnny Cash on 15 May 2008:
I can’t believe that waved him on.
Comment by Matty on 15 May 2008:
Matty Diaz is our worst fielding outfielder… That was a 1 in a million throw for him
Comment by Matty on 15 May 2008:
Watch out for frenchy here… he’s due for a HR
Comment by Chris B on 15 May 2008:
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz………….
Is this a blog?
Or am I just talking to myself?
Comment by Johnny Cash on 15 May 2008:
Left field ball girl is HOT!
Comment by Matty on 15 May 2008:
Big Mac has some wheels!!
Comment by Johnny Cash on 15 May 2008:
yeah he does. I bet he goes back into the dug out to puke.
Comment by Chris B on 15 May 2008:
Sorry, I just noticed your trek for a ‘toy’ post…
I’m sure you stood in line for 20 minutes, then another 20 to find something to satisfy the child!.. Been there, done that….
Good luck!
Comment by Kerri-Lee on 15 May 2008:
I’m back, posting new pics from gift shop
Comment by Dadeck on 15 May 2008:
both Philly teams pitching shutouts!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Comment by Kerri-Lee on 15 May 2008:
Deck, Chris B– hi! I’m sooooooo excited you are all here
Comment by Dadeck on 15 May 2008:
Sooooo…..
everyone in your section is like…
who is this chick with the laptop…
I mean, really, who brings a laptop to a ballgame???
LOLOLOL
Hamels lookin’ good tonight!!!!
Comment by Chris B on 15 May 2008:
Riddle me this Batman……
When you start a statment with the word “WHY”, isn’t it ALWAYS a question?
So, when they gave out the tshirts at the Flyers game on Tuesday night that said, “WHY NOT US!”, of course I was the first to say, “Yep, that’s Philadelphia”..
Where the heck is the question mark?????
It’s not a Statement when it starts with WHY!!!
They could have put “WHY NOT US?!?!?!?!” That would be ok.
I would rather have tonight’s shirt.. “The most Intimidating Fans in the NHL”..
Comment by Johnny Cash on 15 May 2008:
Hamels curve ball is lousy good.
Comment by Kerri-Lee on 15 May 2008:
I’m a dork, the guys behind me were like, “What? Laptop? We’re in a WI-FI hot zone.”
LOL
Comment by Chris B on 15 May 2008:
Edit that please, I meant STATEMENT.. Misspelled.
Comment by Chris B on 15 May 2008:
BTW - nice gift shop pic.
Feel like emailing it?
Comment by Kerri-Lee on 15 May 2008:
Chris B, not a Philly sports game without you here in the stands
Comment by Chris B on 15 May 2008:
3 minutes left in the second period, still 3-0 FLYBOYS!
Comment by Matty on 15 May 2008:
Hamels’ changeup is even better… but I have noticed him throwing that curveball this year
Comment by Chris B on 15 May 2008:
Oh, like Tuesday? Yea, thanks for the heads-up.
I could have bought you a beer, or the world. Your pick!
Comment by Matty on 15 May 2008:
KL, are you going to do a live blogging session during the NASCAR race in Pocono in a few weeks?
Comment by Chris B on 15 May 2008:

Comment by Dadeck on 15 May 2008:

Comment by Kerri-Lee on 15 May 2008:
Hamels at bat… cross your fingers
Comment by Chris B on 15 May 2008:

Comment by Kerri-Lee on 15 May 2008:

Comment by Kerri-Lee on 15 May 2008:

Comment by Matty on 15 May 2008:
My thoughts are I knew we wouldn’t hit because Chipper Jones was hurt tonight… He had a rough interview with Erin Andrews on ESPN after the game last night…
Comment by Chris B on 15 May 2008:
Yea, I don’t recall too many criticisms lately.
Comment by Kerri-Lee on 15 May 2008:
Nova, are you are the game?

Comment by Chris B on 15 May 2008:
KL - Use your CREDS to get into the Center for the third period!
Do double-duty tonight on your blog!
Comment by Chris B on 15 May 2008:
Flyers had 8 shots thru 2 periods on Tuesday.
Tonight, they have 26 already!
Comment by Chris B on 15 May 2008:

Got ourselves a new game now
Comment by Dadeck on 15 May 2008:

the curse is back?
Comment by Tex on 15 May 2008:
I am concerned about the Flyers. They seem to be skating with less intensity than earlier in the game.
Comment by Chris B on 15 May 2008:
That was just a bad goal….
No worries tonight.
Protecting the lead - don’t do anything stupid (or get caught in and odd-man rush)…
Comment by Chris B on 15 May 2008:
Ugh, another misspelling.. AN odd-man rush..
Comment by Matty on 15 May 2008:
I wish the Pens still had Billy Tibbets…

Comment by Chris B on 15 May 2008:

I owe you a beer (or two)..
Comment by Daphne on 15 May 2008:
KL I had to miss the live part of this thread but OMG this is incredible how many people showed up to talk Philly sports with you. Thank you Tex for letting us use KL as an outlet to vent and celebrate. Penguins it’s not over yet. Braves? Go back to Atlanta
Comment by Brian on 20 May 2008:
