A quick programming note: If you're a regular on our weekly Philly.com Fantasy Football chat, today's discussion will start at 11 a.m. instead of 1 p.m. to accommodate our Phillies coverage. . . . That was an awfully long triple by Jayson Werth, but does anyone else think he probably should have scored on an inside-the-park homer? Looked like he Cadillaced it a little bit coming out of the box. . . . If you're attending Game 2 today and you want to work out some pent-up frustration, an outfit called the Asian World of Martial Arts is holding a tailgate party in Lot K at Citizens Bank Park. Starting at 11 a.m., they'll provide a grappling dummy (complete with a Rockies jersey) for fans to kick, punch and tackle. . . . An interesting memo on protocol from the Phils to the media included this line at the end: "Should you have any questions or concerns, please do hesitate to contact [us]." I don't think that was a typo. . . . Last year, Geoff Jenkins was a Game 5 (Part II) hero. This year, he threw out the ceremonial first pitch in the division series. Maybe next year the Fightin's can find a spot for him on the grounds crew. . . . It was pretty windy at yesterday's game (maybe you heard). A lot of trash ended up getting blown onto the field, but despite the fact that the wind was pushing the ball out to right, most of the refuse seemed to get swept into the Rockies' dugout. Seemed fitting somehow. . . . So much for the inconvenient afternoon starting time: Game 1 attracted the largest crowd in the history of Citizens Bank Park. Give yourselves a pat on the back. You earned it.
