What a comeback!!! Look up "clutch" in the dictionary, and you'll see a picture of Chooch.

And how about Broxton choking on a Phillies Frank once again!!!

Thanks to the Phillies for beating the hated Dodgers, even though they gave you the game. They're just about out of it now.

If you look up the definition of choke, you'd see a picture of Jonny Broxton. He makes me appreciate Brad Lidge!

No, I'm pretty sure the Phils worked for that win. How do you assume they gave away the game?

Might not be in very good taste but my dad told me

"Johnathan Broxton is to Philadelphia what Donnie Moore is to Boston"

Agree a great comeback for the Phils, but gotta give LA some credit as well, at least in the 9th - Broxton with 2 walks and 1 HBP, 2 runs score on the Blake error - not sure what else they could have done to give it away. I'm not complaining though.

I admit I felt bad for Broxton, even before he gave up the hit to Ruiz. Ever since Stairs, the Phillies have set up a permanent residence between that guy's ears. Great to watch as a phils fan, but I'd hate to see the guy pull a Donnie Moore. Plus, they need him to pitch well against the Braves now

Broxton is a good pitcher, but the Phillies are in his head....he's still haunted by the ghost of Matt Stairs.

It's already been mentioned, but the HBP, then the walks, then Blakes error.

Four runs on one hit? C'mon.. Broxton, Blake and the hated Dodgers gave one away. Your Phillies were the recipient.

Fine with me though. I realize the Phillies are a Wild Card contender, but all good Giants fans hate the Dodgers more than anything.

I have to admit I cut the TV off in the 8th inning.

Woke of this morning turned on ESPN...The ticker went by the Phillies come back and won the game.

CHOOCH is our Yogi Berra!

Its never over until its over with this team....I'll bet all the people that left after the 7th are kicking themselves in the arse!

I actually didn't get home until the 8th and turned the game on just in time for the comeback.
