So ALS Night/the Phillies' Phestival at Citizens Bank Park was pretty fun this year.  During the Phestivities, I got to...

* Meet Mr. Perfect, Roy Halladay (my dad met him, too!).  He was really nice, very down to earth, and absolutely GORGEOUS in person.  TV/photographs do not do him justice.  He's got amazing blue eyes and a seriously perfect smile! 

* Meet Cole Hamels, who gets hotter every year, and give him a hug.  He told me it meant a lot to him when I said he was my favorite Phillie! 

* Get a big hug from Phoebe Phanatic--the Phanatic's mom

* Meet Ross Gload (looooooovely spiky hair) and Chad Durbin--both of whom were very nice and VERY attractive!

* Take pictures of many of my other favorite Phillies, including CHUTTLES, Brad Lidge, Ryan "I fought the chair, and the chair won" Madson, and the Flyin' Hawaiian.  I also got a baseball signed by JC Romero in a grab bag I'd bought.  All in all, a really fun night (and all for a good cause, too!).  Now if only those Phillies (besides Doc, who was literally perfect!) could get their act together and, like, score some runs...that'd be awesome.  I know there are names for fears of crossing bridges and walking under ladders...is there a word to describe "fear of crossing home plate"?  Because I think the Phillies may be crippled by that silly fear lately...

Hamels pitches tonight.  Let's go, BILFy McBILF!!!!  Let's go, Phillies!

Chuttles

Can you tell I have no idea what to do with myself now that baseball season's over?  Except, of course, make goofy BILF-related things with Photoshop...

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 00:25:33 -0800 BILF news and notes, 11/13/09 http://thatbilfgirl.posterous.com/bilf-news-and-notes-111309 http://thatbilfgirl.posterous.com/bilf-news-and-notes-111309
Two of the BILFiest BILFs were awarded Silver Sluggers today...Chase Utley and Joe Mauer!  It's Mauer's third Silver Slugger, and Utley's fourth.  Hot and talented...I love it!

In other news, Brad Lidge underwent successful surgery for his flexor pronator tendon and the loose body in his elbow.  Here's hoping he also undergoes surgery on that godawful playoff beard/scruff he was sporting...'cause there's just no excuse for that.

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:07:16 -0700 A few thoughts on the last two NLCS games... http://thatbilfgirl.posterous.com/a-few-thoughts-on-the-last-two-nlcs-games http://thatbilfgirl.posterous.com/a-few-thoughts-on-the-last-two-nlcs-games
So Friday night, I was incredibly angry, as I'm sure most other Philly fans were.  I called my mother right after the game--I didn't even bother saying hello, and just started in with "Fuck our bullpen!  Fuck Chase Utley!"  (And no, I did not mean in the good/fun way, either.)  But what I was really thinking--and forgot to say--was "Fuck our entire offense, too."  (Also not in the good way.)

Yeah, the bullpen was screwy in the eighth inning of Friday's NLCS game against the Dodgers.  And yeah, Utley should have not made that screwy throw (anyone else wondering if this is a sign that Chuttles is hurt?).  But neither one of those things would have mattered so much if we'd had more than a 1-run lead against LA.  Hello, offense?  Were you guys napping?  (Not you, Ryan Howard.  You're awesome.)

I was in quite a crappy mood on Friday evening.  But luckily the Phillies' offense redeemed themselves in Game 3 of the NLCS with an 11-0 blowout, along with the fabulous (phabulous!) Cliff Lee.  10 strikeouts, no walks, 3 hits...and he got a hit himself?  And managed to look really good while doing all of this?  I'm in love.  Or lust.  Or something.  (I noticed he looked cold; I wish MLB would offer a job where you could apply to be the official hand-blower for pretty pitchers during the playoffs.  Cliff Lee had to keep blowing on his hands because it was so damn cold; why waste the pitcher's energy doing that when there are girls like me willing to help him out with that?  Haha.)

Tonight it's Game 4 of the NLCS.  My parents are there (soooooo jealous, Mom and Dad!).  Hopefully the offense will show up again, too.  No need for an 11-0 trouncing tonight (although hey, if they've got it in 'em, then why the hell not?)--just a win will suffice.  :)

Also: Saw Chad Billingsley (whom I call Chad BILFingsley) pitch last night...he pitched better than most of the other Dodger pitchers (for a while, anyway), but what is up with that playoff goatee he's got goin' on there?  Ugh!

And finally, if you've not already done so, the BILFalicious Joe Mauer (swoon!) is up for the Clutch Performer of the Year Award.  Click here to vote for him!

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 10:41:00 -0700 Friday night's Phillies/Mets game... http://thatbilfgirl.posterous.com/friday-nights-philliesmets-game http://thatbilfgirl.posterous.com/friday-nights-philliesmets-game
Well, I went to Friday night's Phillies/Mets game just to see Cole Hamels pitch.  Unfortunately, he didn't pitch very well, and the Phillies lost the game, 4-2.  Luckily, Hamels at least looked gorgeous...although he also looked rattled/stressed/not so great on the mound.  Sigh.  We need Hamels to get back on track soon...if we're headed for the playoffs again this year, we're gonna need him in top form if we want to do well in the postseason.

Luckily for me, I was sitting basically right above the Phillies dugout for this game, and even from the upper deck, I had a nice view of certain BILFalicious ballplayers...yeah, I'll admit that I kept my eye on a certain Cliff Lee for much of the game.  (In the photos, he's in the dugout, wearing a red warmup jacket.)  It was sometimes more fun (and much less depressing) to watch Lee in the dugout than to watch Hamels on the mound....

Wed, 05 Aug 2009 19:06:00 -0700 Happ-y days are here again... http://thatbilfgirl.posterous.com/happ-y-days-are-here-again http://thatbilfgirl.posterous.com/happ-y-days-are-here-again

Happ

I was thrilled to see that JA Happ (who is a BILF as long as he keeps his hat on) led the Phillies to snapping the Rockies' winning streak and, more importantly, snapping the Phillies' losing streak.  I've got Happ, Werth, and Utley on various fantasy teams, and I certainly can't complain about any of the numbers they put up tonight.  Strikeouts!  Runs!  A complete game! RBIs!  *squeal*

Tonight's the Phillies' first win since BILFalicious Cliff Lee pitched and won it for us on Friday night.  Thankfully, he pitches again tomorrow...hopefully he can get us another win and send those Rockies home to Colorado, swearing and sniffling all the way...  :)

Fri, 17 Jul 2009 23:26:00 -0700 Chuttles rocks! http://thatbilfgirl.posterous.com/chuttles-rocks http://thatbilfgirl.posterous.com/chuttles-rocks
Chase Utley's awesome.  Werth, too.  They made it so that the baseball game could finally freakin' end.  And not just end, but end with a Phillies win.  That's the best kind of ending to a Phillies game!  (It's also good for my teams of BILFs; I've got Utley on one team and Werth on 2 teams.)

I feel supremely retarded that I had no idea that King BILF himself, Cole Hamels, was pitching tonight.  Usually I make it a point to watch games that Hamels pitches...  But since I knew Moyer pitched last night, I figured that under no circumstances would Hamels follow Moyer in the rotation, and so I just assumed it was somebody else pitching tonight.  Oops.
