Montreal Expos faced the Philadelphia Phillies at Veterans Stadium on Friday, April 9, 1982.
0:14
Montreal was coached by Jim Fanning and his first full season as skipper after having
0:18
taken over the team from Dick Williams near the end of the 1981 season.
0:22
He led the team to the NLCS where they eventually lost to the Dodgers.
0:26
Dallas Green had great success as manager of Philadelphia, bringing the club to the
0:30
playoffs in each of the past two seasons, including the championship in 1980.
0:34
But following the Tribune Company's purchase of the Chicago Cubs from the Wrigley family
0:37
in 1981, they hired Green away from the Phillies to become their new general manager.
0:42
So Philadelphia hired Pat Corrales to manage the club for the 1982 season.
0:47

4:54
There were a couple of games played this afternoon for the Cubs home opener at Wrigley Field
5:03
in Chicago.
5:04
The Cubs beat the Mets five to nothing.
5:07
Ferguson Jenkins winning that ball game for Chicago.
5:10
He got relief help from Lee Smith and the losing pitcher was Mike Scott.
5:15
Bill Buckner a two run home run for the Cubs and that one.
5:18
Houston and Atlanta just underway in Atlanta's opener.
5:22
That'll be Don Sutton against Tommy Boggs and Houston failed to score in the first.
5:27
At Cincinnati the Reds lead San Francisco two nothing there in the second inning.
5:32
Dan Schatzeter for San Francisco and Frank Pass story for Cincinnati.
5:38
One game of the American League was played this afternoon and Milwaukee clobbered Toronto
5:42
in their home opener.
5:45
Milwaukee 15 Toronto for the final score.
5:48
Pete Vukovich wanted for the Brewers and the loser for the Blue Jays was Mark Bombeck.
5:54
Home run by Ben Ogilvie for Milwaukee and Ernie Whip hit one for Toronto in the losing
5:59
cause.
6:02
At Atlanta the Braves had just put two on the board in the first inning on a two run
6:06
home run by Dale Murphy.
6:08
It came off Don Sutton and Atlanta leads that one at least two nothing there still batting
6:13
in the first inning.
6:16
Larry Christensen completing his warm up tosses.
6:19
LC coming off a fine spring.
6:21
He won his last three outings and pitched outstanding baseball in his last three outings
6:28
of the spring.
6:29
In 17 innings he struck out 22.
6:34
Tim Rains the lead off the switch hitting left fielder.
6:38
Coming off a year in which he hit three oh four was runner up for rookie of the year
6:42
honors to Fernando Valenzuela.
6:45
He stole 71 bases to lead the National League in that department and only 88 games.
6:53
Tim Rains just 22 years of age until he's playing way around to the opposite field.
7:00
Here's the wind up by Christensen first pitch of the ball game is low for a ball it's one
7:06
and nothing.
7:08
Ball and no strikes to Tim Rains.
7:11
Now the one old pitch on the way fastball pop foul it's out of play and it's one ball
7:17
and one strike.
7:21
Rains will be followed by Wallace Johnson and then Andre Dawson.
7:31
Here's the one one pitch on the way to Rains.
7:33
Swing and a fly ball left field.
7:35
Gary Matthews is right there waiting.
7:38
Rains is out that's one down here in the top half of the first inning.
7:42
That'll bring on Wallace Johnson another switch hitter he won the second base job from Rodney
7:49
Scott.
7:50
Johnson 25 years of age started last season of Memphis where he had 363 then went to Denver
7:58
he had 298 at Denver and at the end of the year he had 222 at Montreal.
8:05
Coming off a good spring he had 339 in the spring training also has good speed Phillies
8:11
play him about the same way that they played Rains around way around to the opposite field.
8:17
Walter Johnson is on the outside corner at the called strike.
8:20
A lot of stolen bases Harry in the first three batters in the Montreal lineup they could
8:26
conceivably get a couple of hundred between the three of them giving Rains a hundred or
8:32
better.
8:33
Now the pitch on the way big swing and a miss and a breaking ball it's nothing in two to
8:38
Wallace Johnson.
8:41
If you project Rains production of last year over a full season he would have stolen about
8:46
a hundred and twenty five bases.
8:52
Here's the two strike pitch in the dirt Johnson has to skip rope to get out of the way of
8:59
the ball.
9:01
One ball and two strikes to Wallace Johnson.
9:13
Alarie Christensen has a sign from Diaz one two pitch breaking ball is low he checked
9:18
his swing it's two balls and two strikes to Johnson.
9:29
Wind up by Christensen two two pitch swing and a foul straight back behind the screen.
9:36
Still two balls and two strikes to Wallace Johnson with one out of no base runners.
9:40
Top half of the first inning of this ballgame just underway.
9:51
Here's the two two pitch breaking ball grounded foul into the Phillies dugout Johnson stays
9:57
alive at two balls and two strikes.
10:05
Now Christensen is set the two two pitch swing and a ground foul back behind the plate.
10:18
Still two and two to Wallace Johnson Christensen coming off the year in which he won four and
10:23
lost seven.
10:24
He was 0 and 1 against Montreal last year LC played with that injury bugaboo last year.
10:32
Pitch to Johnson sky to the air to shallow left coming out is Gary Matthews has a lot
10:37
of time he squeezes it and Johnson is out two down.
10:42
So the Phillies on the first two hitters Reigns and Johnson playing them way around of the
10:48
opposite field and that's where they hit the baseball.
10:51
That'll bring out Andre Dawson.
10:56
The runner up to Mike Schmidt for MVP honors last year when he hit three oh two twenty
11:02
four home runs.
11:04
Pitch to him is low and away for a ball it's one and nothing.
11:07
He did all that without hitting much in September.
11:09
He's been a bit of a mystery then hit in September then hit in the mini series did not hit in
11:15
the league championship series against the Dodgers and did not hit this spring training.
11:19
I only hit 240 this spring.
11:22
He takes another breaking ball away and it's two and nothing to Andre Dawson.
11:27
The two old pitch to him swing and a long drive deep left center field man.
11:32
Back out of here.
11:34
Home run Andre Dawson.
11:36
Andre Dawson in his first at bat of the 1982 season smashes a home run to left center field
11:44
and the Expos lead one to nothing.
11:47
Well that's right.
11:48
He did not miss that when Christiansen got behind on the count to an old gave him a fast
11:54
ball a little bit on the inside part of the plate a little bit up and that's the kind
12:00
that go out of ballpark.
12:07
That'll bring out Al Oliver back in the National League came over from Texas.
12:11
He takes a breaking ball low for a ball.
12:15
Oliver hit three oh nine at Texas last year.
12:18
Came over for Larry Parrish and Paul Hostedler.
12:21
The one old pitch to Oliver's swing and a base hit the left field.
12:26
Al Oliver didn't get it all but he slaps a single to left and Oliver can hit.
12:31
There is no question about that and this man in the Expos lineup gives them a very formidable
12:37
lineup gives him a very good left hand hitter which the Expos needed very badly.
12:43
He's a he's a hacker.
12:45
He is not a sophisticated type hitter.
12:47
He sees that white ball and swings away and he really gets his share of base hits.
12:52
He passed a two thousand hit mark I believe sometime last year.
13:02
There's Gary Carter Oliver at first and two down the pitch to Carter in the dirt a good
13:07
block by Bo Diaz one of nothing to count.
13:12
Larry has not been able to get his breaking ball over so far.
13:16
I don't think he's throwing a strike with it.
13:17
There were a couple of swings at it.
13:20
They were fouled off but they were bad pitches.
13:28
That hit for Al Oliver was the two thousand one hundred and fifty ninth in his career.
13:34
So he must have had his two thousand hit in 1980.
13:38
Here's the one old pitch low for a ball it's two and nothing.
13:42
Oliver is a lifetime three oh three hitter in the major leagues.
13:47
He's at first base with two down it's two and nothing to Carter.
13:52
Carter had two fifty one last year sixteen home runs pitched to him a little bit low
13:58
for a ball it's three and oh.
14:02
Doug Christensen got the first two men out here in the first and a home run by Andre
14:06
Dawson and a base hit by Oliver.
14:09
He's behind Carter three and nothing.
14:14
Here's a stretch by LC the three oh pitch called strike on the inside corner looked
14:20
like Carter had the green light but he opted not to swing at the pitch was a pretty decent
14:24
pitch.
14:30
Three balls and a strike to Gary Carter.
14:33
Here's the three one pitch inside ball for he walked in.
14:39
Carter is at first base.
14:41
Oliver moves the second with two outs it brings on Warren Crowe Marty.
14:45
Claude Osteen is coming out to talk to Larry Christensen.
14:52
His new pitching coach Claude Osteen coming out wants to settle him down try to keep him
14:56
out of a disastrous and try to keep him from digging a deeper hole for himself.
15:04
Fella coming up next.
15:06
Crowe Marty is a good left hand hitter.
15:13
Crowe hit three oh four last year from Montreal coming off a bad spring.
15:19
Crowe Marty hit only one ninety six this spring back to rally philosophy rich in the outfield
15:28
must be very similar to Cincinnati's in that he seems to punch the left and right fielder
15:34
they'll shade over a little bit but for Carter and for Oliver and for Dawson they play the
15:40
alleys and they give him the lines.
15:43
Pick off try at second base out at second base as Al Oliver the Phillies executed a
15:50
pick off play perfectly and get Al Oliver.
15:54
It goes from Larry Christensen to Manny Trio.
15:58
So the Expos are down on the first they score a run on the Dawson Homer two hits no errors
16:04
leave one and at the end of one half Montreal one Phillies coming to bat.
16:10
This Phillies game is being brought to you on WPE and 950 a.m. and while WPE and serves
16:16
as the temporary home for the Phillies we welcome you to the station of the stars as

17:33
New Jersey Baldwin tractor and ATV center Elmer New Jersey Roark's farm supply incorporated
17:39

17:50
Now the Phillies tonight are looking at Steve Rogers the fellow that was the difference
17:53
in the division championship series last year when he won two of the five game series two
18:00
out of the three exposed wins went to Rogers pitch brilliantly in that fifth and final
18:05
game also got a base hit to help his own cause.
18:10
Rogers finished the regular season 12 and 8.
18:15
Yvonne DeJesus will be the first one to face Rogers.
18:19
Steve just signed a two year extension to his contract taking him through the 1985 season.
18:25
So he'll be around Montreal for quite a few years now.
18:31
DeJesus was 0 for 3 in the opener yesterday the pitch to him is high for a ball it's one
18:37
of nothing.
18:42
All in those strikes to Yvonne DeJesus.
18:48
Now the wind up by Rogers and the pitch to DeJesus he pops a foul back up into the upper
18:54
deck one ball and one strike.
18:57
Dave Bristow coaching at third base Darren Johnson at first for the Phillies.
19:08
All of his strike today Jesus will be followed by Pete Rose one one pitch over for a called
19:14
strike a ball and two strikes.
19:18
The Houston Astros and Don Sutton have just given up five runs to Atlanta in the first
19:26
inning.
19:27
Here's the pitch swing and a miss got him with an off speed pitch.
19:30
DeJesus goes down swinging there's one down and that'll bring on Pete Rose.
19:35
Pete had one hit in the opener and four at fast he got the first Phillies hit of the
19:39
82 season.
19:41
A game at Atlanta after one inning is Atlanta five and Houston nothing and the Braves home
19:48
opener.
19:49
The Braves are unbeaten in the young season having swept San Diego.
19:55
Here's a pitch on the way to Rose and he takes a called strike at the knees.
20:06
Expos play Peter out of the opposite field.
20:12
Now the one strike pitch check swing foul into the photographer's deck and out of it
20:17
into Dave Bristow.
20:22
Nothing in two to Pete Rose.
20:25
Montreal one Phillies nothing we're in the first inning.
20:28
Expos scoring in the top of the first on an Andre Dawson home run.
20:36
Here's the two strike pitch check swing bouncing foul into the photographer's deck.
20:43
Added still nothing in two.
20:48
Rogers although he has pitched outstanding baseball over the years for Montreal is nonetheless
20:55
just one game over the five hundred mark in his career.
21:00
Here's the two strike pitch fastball is high it's one and two.
21:08
There's only been recently that the Expos have put together really a fine ball club.
21:18
Now the one to pitch to Pete Rose high again ball to its two and two Rogers winning his
21:25
season was in nineteen seventy seven when he was a 17 game winner.
21:31
Two balls and two strikes with one out.
21:36
The two to pitch swing and a miss he struck him out two straight strikeouts for Steve
21:42
Rogers two down here in the first set will bring up Gary Matthews.
21:47
Matthews was one for four in the opener both strikeouts were on bad pitches.
21:52
DeJesus chased a low breaking ball and Rose chased a high breaking pitch well out of the
21:58
strike zone.
22:05
Two outs and nobody on base as Matthews steps in.
22:10
Another pitch to Matthews a slow curveball and this is low for a ball one and nothing.
22:21
Now the wind up by Rogers one oh pitch fastball grounded the deep short club by Spire long
22:27
throw got him by a stride and the Phillies are down in order in the first no runs hits
22:32
or errors and none left.

26:42
Spire had to win back his shortstop job.
26:46
The Expos acquiring Frank Taveras in the offseason.
26:54
Expos have pretty good backup in the infield with Frank Taveras and Rodney Scott there.
27:01
Not only a backup infielders but they have great speed sitting on the bench.
27:09
Here's the pitch on the way to Spire and it's over for a called strike.

35:56
And not having pitch for quite some time the pitch on the way grounded fouled on the third
36:01
base side.
36:02
Rogers I think tuned up for his start last a week ago today or on Saturday.

Tim Raines will lead off for Montreal here in the third
38:25
Raines flied out the left his first time up
38:33
the Phillies against Montreal last year won four and lost seven
38:38
here's the pitch to Raines and he takes a strike called inside corner nothing and one to Tim Raines
38:45
Phillies couldn't win a game in Montreal they were 0 for 5 up there they did play pretty well here
38:50
4 out of 6 but that could not win up there
38:54
pitch to Raines he tried to check his swing he committed himself on a low breaking ball
39:00
it's nothing and two to Tim Raines
39:05
oh Raines quickly in the hole no balls and two strikes
39:11
wind up by Christensen two strike pitch
39:14
missed outside with a fastball one ball and two strikes to Raines
39:24
here's the one two pitch to Raines ground ball hit the second baseman Manny Trio
39:29
he has it in throws and Raines is out that's one down
39:33
that'll bring on Wallace Johnson the second baseman Johnson comes out of Gary, Indiana he's 25 years old
39:45
third inning baseball Montreal leading one to nothing on an Andre Dawson Homer in the first
39:52
here's the pitch to him and it's a called strike on the inside corner one strike to Johnson
40:05
Johnson a switch hitter like Raines batting to Johnson
40:09
he's got a good shot and a good shot
40:12
Johnson a switch hitter like Raines batting left against Christensen
40:24
wind up by Christensen one strike pitch in the dirt for a ball it's one ball and one strike to Johnson
40:40
here's the one one pitch it's low ball two two balls and a strike to Johnson
40:59
here's the two one pitch swing and a bouncing ball tap down the first base side foul two and two
41:06
here in Atlanta is now in the third inning Braves five and the Houston nothing in the third
41:13
Cincinnati leads the Giants three nothing at the end of four innings
41:20
that giant ball club traded their entire starting rotation
41:27
hard to believe here's the two two pitch swaying at a high fly ball center field
41:34
Mannox shading him to left center waits and makes the catch Johnson is out two down and that'll bring up Andre Dawson
41:43
Dawson Homer his first time up
41:47
Billy's in the infield playing around the pole also in the outfield pitch to Dawson is a breaking ball outside for a ball one and nothing
42:04
following those strikes to Andre Dawson one old pitch to him low for a ball it's two and nothing
42:21
here's the two old pitch just missed again ball three three and oh to Dawson
42:30
Al Oliver waiting on deck
42:38
real pitch to Dawson he has a green light and slams a base hit the left field Matthews takes it on two hops and Andre Dawson at first with his second hit of the ball game
42:50
at number three for the Expos off Christensen and that'll bring on Al Oliver now Dawson's had two swings he's hit a home run and he really smoked a line drive on a pretty good three old pitch it was a borderline strike
43:06
but he was going to swing he did and shot it over DeJesus's head here's the pitch to Oliver fastball is inside for a ball it's one and nothing to Al Oliver
43:22
Billy's outfield now moves more straight away they have been playing him to the opposite field Oliver uses all fields
43:35
here's the pitch on the way to Oliver and a breaking ball misses and it's two balls and no strikes to Al Oliver Dawson at first base two down
43:45
Dawson has to be watched he stole 24 bases last year Christensen does go that way and Andre Dawson gets back
43:56
now the stretch by Christensen and the pitch on the way to Oliver hard ground ball knocked down by P. Rose picks it up tags the bag and Oliver is out so are the Expos in the third no runs one hit no errors in one left
44:16
we go to the bottom half of the third inning with a score Montreal one Billy's nothing what's this revolution all about America's new car revolution well if you want a well-built car that gets good gas mileage it means you've got a lot more than imports to choose from

Louis Cardinals Lonnie Smith and company will be on Friday night April 23rd at 8 0 5 Saturday afternoon the 24th of 115 Sunday afternoon the 25th at 135
46:19
leading off for the Phillies is Bo Diaz the catcher and he takes one inside for a ball one of nothing he has had one hit and four at bats yesterday Rogers pitch to him is low for a ball and it's 2 and 0 to Bo Diaz
46:36
he has to be followed by Manny Trio and then Larry Christensen
46:44
there's a wind up by Rogers in the 2 0 pitch swaying he had a cut and he fouls it back to the screen it's 2 and 1 to Diaz
46:55
Rogers is retired all six that he's faced four of them by strikeouts
47:04
here's the 2 1 pitch to Diaz high fly ball right center field right there is Warren Crowe Marty and the right fielder makes the grab and Diaz is out one down
47:16
that'll bring on Manny Trio Trio Hitlers in the opener and four at bats
47:24
one down third inning
47:30
Rogers in his career has had four one hit games
47:35
two of them coming against the Phillies
47:41
one of them early in his career
47:44
broken up by Jose Pagan the pitch to Trio is over for a called strike
47:50
and a couple of years ago by Dave Rader in the eighth inning
47:55
pitch to Trio has popped foul over the screen Rogers in front of him nothing in 2
48:06
the American League Canadian contingent did not have a very good day today and their opener at home they lost the Milwaukee 15 to 4
48:18
pitch to Trio fastball inside for a ball it's 1 and 2
48:30
ball and two strikes to Manny Trio
48:33
1 2 pitch slider missing outside for a ball it's 2 and 2
48:41
we're in the third inning at veterans stadium Montreal leading 1 to nothing on a Dawson home run
48:50
but 2 2 pitch to Trio is swaying and a bouncing ball tapped a second Wallace Johnson can't handle it Trio safe at first base
49:01
Wallace Johnson the second baseman charging the ball
49:05
should have made the play and it'll be an error on Wallace Johnson
49:10
it was really a routine play the ball bounced right up to him about waist high and
49:16
just flipped it out of his glove they say if Wallace Johnson is going to have a problem in the major leagues it would be with his fielding
49:26
so Trio is the first Phillies base runner on the air on Johnson here's Larry Christensen
49:33
the stretch by Rogers LC down to bunt takes a strike called one strike to Christensen
49:43
Christensen got a couple of hits to win himself ball games in Florida in spring training but he's up there to bunt here on the first pitch
49:53
Rogers stretches he's down to bunt again and he drops a bunt out in front of the plate fielded by Carter throws the second for a 4-son Trio
50:03
so the sacrifice is not good as Christensen is safe at first on a field or his choice
50:09
Carter goes the spire for the 4-son Trio at second for out number 2
50:15
Larry Christensen at first base with 2 down it'll bring on Yvonne de Asus
50:19
that was not really a bad bunt but it was bunted up in the air just far enough so Trio had to hold a little bit at first
50:27
see that nobody would catch it and that cost him the play at second
50:31
here's De Asus with Christensen at first base and 2 outs
50:42
third inning of a 1-0 game Montreal leading the pitch today Jesus breaking ball strike called at the knees
50:50
Yvonne struck out his first time up
51:00
here's a stretch by Rogers and the pitch today Jesus ground ball hit the short club by Spire flips to Johnson for the 4-son Christensen
51:09
and the Phillies are out of the third with no runs no hits there was one Montreal here and one man left
51:15
the end of 3 innings Montreal won and the Phillies nothing
51:21
here's De Asus with Christensen at second base
51:40
here's De Asus with Christensen at third base
51:52
here's De Asus with Christensen at third base
52:20
baseball action continues tomorrow at the Phillies meet the Expos at Vets Stadium
52:25
the action begins at 6.35 right here on the CAU Phillies baseball network
52:32
baseball's best mascot the Philly Fanatic celebrates his fourth birthday on Saturday afternoon April 24th
52:39

52:54
to get your tickets now and plan on coming to the Fanatic's fourth birthday party on Saturday afternoon April 24th
53:02
the end of three innings of play Montreal are running three hits Phillies no runs and no hits for more play by play in the fourth
53:08
here's Rich Ashburn
53:10
okay Harry Gary Carter will lead it off for the Expos he'll be followed by Cromartie and Wallach
53:17
Andre Dawson hit a two out home run in the first inning for Montreal that's the only run on the board
53:23
Carter walked his first time up
53:28
Phillies have only had one base runner and that was Manny Trejo on Wallace Johnson's error
53:42
Christensen ready with a first pitch to Gary Carter fly ball broken bat DeJesus back under the ball makes a catch
53:52
Christensen sawed Carter's bat off with a fastball and Carter's out on one pitch a little pop to Yvonne DeJesus
54:02
one down the batter will be right fielder Warren Cromartie who fly the left his first time up
54:09
this is the Expos first game of course they sat in Pittsburgh for four straight days couldn't play there
54:17
this is the Phillies second game Cromartie takes low and inside ball one
54:29
Christensen right back with a pitch bounces up there to and over the count
54:36
Phillies like to throw Cromartie a lot of off speed pitches which is alright if you get them over but if you don't you drop behind in the count
54:45
that's what Christensen has done here probably have to come in with a fastball he does and a base hit in the left center field
54:54
Matthew's up with a ball Cromartie takes a big turn by first and goes back he'll hold with a single
55:01
probably could have made second easily because the throw from the outfield was way wild
55:07
let's pause here for station identification on the CAU Phillies baseball network
55:14
Joe Niagara, Maggie Lee, Andy Hopkins, Frank Sinop, Brady and Hurst, Tommy Dorsey, Kim Martin, Tony Bennett, Great Stars and Great Songs All Day Long on 950 WPN Philadelphia
55:25
third baseman Tim Wallach to batter Cromartie on first one out Christensen out of the stretch goes to first Cromartie is safe
55:34
Wallach fly to deep right his first time up big strong right hand batter Tim Wallach
55:41
pitch to him is high and inside ball one Cromartie single the fourth Expos hit
55:49
they have a run on four hits Cromartie now is called time and he must have an equipment problem maybe a shoe
56:01
what it is his left shoe probably one of the cleats or spikes
56:11
what he's going to do he's walking around down there with just one shoe on trying to borrow a shoe I think somebody can get the right size
56:23
somebody has given him a shoe
56:36
Phillies will play the Expos tomorrow night at 7 0 5 and then a Sunday afternoon game at 1 35
56:47
Cromartie can't seem to get his shoe tied and hard to tie it with those batting gloves on there he goes
56:59
ball one to count to Tim Wallach Cromartie is at first one down we're in the top of the fourth inning with the Expos leading one to nothing
57:13
Christensen goes the first Cromartie is safe
57:20
Eric Gregg the first base umpire making the call Eric out of Philadelphia
57:37
Christensen the first again Cromartie is safe Amos Otis has just hit a grand slam home run against the Detroit Tigers they're leading at least four to nothing now in the first inning that was off Jack Morris
57:53
Wallach a hot shot base hit inside third into the outfield extra bases Matthews comes up with a ball Wallach will go into second with a double and Cromartie stops at third
58:05
Wallach really smoked the ball between Mike Schmidt in the third base bag and Christensen is in a little fourth inning trouble here with runners at second and third one out
58:20
and the batter shortstop Chris Spier who walked his first time up there is a base open they may walk Spier to get to the pitcher Steve Rogers will see
58:34
I think they're going to pitch to Spier and they're going to bring the infield in tight that's what they're going to do
58:41
Spier never hits too much but he seems to hit well against the Phillies Christensen's pitch fly ball right field deep enough to score the run Vukovic is back under the ball makes the catch tagging at third is Cromartie
58:55
he will score easily and the Expos lead at two to nothing Tim Wallach moving up from second to third with two men away now a sacrifice fly and a run batted in
59:12
for Chris Spier and the Expos lead at two to nothing
59:19
pitcher Steve Rogers the batter he struck out his first time up Wallach's at third two outs
59:29
Christensen will pitch out of a wind up to Rogers ground ball to Rose he backhands goes to first beats Rogers to the bag by a step and that will retire the side but the Expos one run two hits one left on
59:44
Phillies batting in the home fourth with the Expos leading two to nothing
59:49
compare Girard IRA Steve Candel did
59:52
as a financial plan I would definitely recommend the Girard IRA account to my clients in fact have done so I had checked around in the various banks and various alternatives and found that Girard on that given day was paying the highest fixed interest rate in town
1:00:05
one of the things I was concerned about was the security of my investment and I chose Girard because of its security there is really no comparison
1:00:13
Girard's fixed rate is fourteen point five five percent substantial penalty for early withdrawal member FDIC
1:00:24
the trees are green and everywhere flowers break and bloom signs of spring are in the air each day feels so new and with the cold fresh taste of milk I'm up and on my way today feeling good so refreshing I love to feel this way
1:00:45
yeah that milk is a fresh air refresher so pure so good so fresh this day milk is a fresh air refresher feeling good and I love to feel this way with the cold fresh taste of milk bring feelings here to stay yeah milk is a fresh air refresher
1:01:05
feeling good and I love to feel this way
1:01:17
sponsored by American Dairy Association your local dairy farmers
1:01:22
the Phillies batting here in the home fourth it'll be Pete Rose Gary Matthews and Mike Schmidt the first three batters against Steve Rogers who has not given up a hit as yet and only one base runner when second baseman Wallace Johnson bobbled many
1:01:41
treels easy ground ball for an error Rose struck out his first time up Pete has one hit and five times at bat here in the early going hits the ground ball towards second Johnson has this on one hop fires the first and roses out on one pitch
1:02:03
Rogers is really mixing his pitches well going fastball slider slow curve change up
1:02:14
Gary Matthews steps in he grounded out to the shortstop his first time up Gary is one for five on the season
1:02:25
first pitch to Matthews line drive center field base hit a clean line drive single by Gary Matthews and that's the first Phillies hit of the ballgame Matthews on first one down in the batter Mike Schmidt who grounded out to the pitcher his first time
1:02:45
up he's still looking for his first base hit he's over three here in the first two ballgames Expos lead to nothing we're on the bottom of the board
1:03:04
he's had a good spring he broke that toe on his left foot in a game against the Yankees the last game the Phillies played in Florida Schmidt takes a called strike
1:03:31
Rogers with the next pitch he misses high for a ball one and one to count
1:03:42
Matthews at first one down a ball and a strike on Schmidt Rogers checks the runner at first the pitch Schmidt takes a call strike perfect pitch just catching the outside corner
1:04:00
a ball and two strikes on Schmidt can't believe Steve Rogers can be this sharp this early
1:04:11
he's ready again the one to pitch swinging in this Schmidt strikes out on a bad pitch this time chased a high fastball that's the fifth strikeout for Steve Rogers
1:04:25
so two outs with Matthews on first and the batter right fielder George Vukovich who struck out his first time up
1:04:36
opposing pitchers throw Vukovich a lot of off speed pitches but Rogers struck him out on his first time up
1:04:47
Roger steps off the pitching rubber time is called
1:04:56
Expos play George Vukovich slightly to pull and play him pretty deep Vukovich takes a breaking ball over for a called strike
1:05:08
Vukovich is home run that sent the many series into the fifth game last year
1:05:18
Roger sets the pitch breaking ball is high and outside a ball and a strike on George Vukovich
1:05:27
Expos lead to nothing were in the bottom of the fourth
1:05:36
Rogers with a pitch bounces up there good block by Gary Carter to win the count to Vukovich Rogers is thrown Vukovich three off speed pitches
1:05:54
Matthews leads off first two outs
1:06:02
Rogers sets the pitch left side Carter can't reach it wasn't hit high enough it bounced right in front of the Montreal dugout
1:06:15
and wasn't hit high enough in the air for Gary Carter to catch up to the ball another off speed pitch to and to the count to Vukovich
1:06:30
one way to get pitchers to stop throwing you those kind of pitches is to start hitting them
1:06:41
Matthews might try to steal a base we'll see here's the pitch line drive right center field base hit Matthews rounding second he'll go to third and
1:06:53
George Vukovich lines a single and a right center field that was off a Steve Rogers fastball Rogers through Vukovich one fastball
1:07:07
and Vukovich did not miss it he smoked it in the center field for a single
1:07:14
so runners on first and third two down in the batter center fielder Gary Maddox Gary struck out his first time up Maddox two for five here in the first two ball game
1:07:30
one of those hits a home run in the game against the Mets two on two outs Rogers out of the stretch the pitch is low and outside ball one
1:07:43
that Maddox calls time he wants the pine tar rag
1:07:52
so Steve Rogers and a little too out trouble here for the first time in the ballgame Matthews the first runner to reach second base and also third
1:08:08
Rogers ready low and outside ball to two and 0 the count to Maddox
1:08:18
Rogers shaking his head on the mound he missed the strike zone by a lot with his first two pitches
1:08:28
Matthews leads off first Vukovich off first
1:08:37
two old pitch by Rogers pop foul behind home plate and out of play two and one to count to Maddox
1:08:52
quite a few people here for this kind of weather to one pitch strike called Maddox did not like the call by Paul Runge
1:09:05
is saying something to Runge don't see Gary Maddox squawk about too many pitches the count is now two and two
1:09:17
Rogers ready again the pitch fly ball hit well right center field Dawson going over makes the catch
1:09:25
Maddox hit it hard but Andre Dawson making the play and not a retire the side no runs two hits two left on
1:09:33

trail takes a called third strike and he doesn't like to call by Paul Runge

1:23:04
remember Montreal batting here in the top of the sixth inning it'll be Al Oliver Gary Carter and Warren Cromartie to face Larry Christiansen Christiansen has pitched a pretty good ball game Steve Rogers has pitched a better one and we have a full moon sitting over the stadium tonight
1:23:34
it's cold night but it's clear Oliver is one for two with a single he takes a breaking ball high ball one Oliver singled his first time up grounded out in the third pitch to him is a called strike catching the outside corner a ball and a strike on Oliver
1:24:03
one pitch change up over for a call strike to Oliver says he's happy to be back in the National League of course he was with the pirates for years and went to the Texas Rangers he swings and misses at an off speed pitch Christiansen gets a strike out his third of the ball game
1:24:26
one down the batter will be catcher Gary Carter who has walked and popped out
1:24:40
Carter loves to hit in this ballpark and he ropes one the left field Matthews right there fights the lights and makes the catch
1:24:51
a ball hard but right at Matthews and left two outs and will pause for station identification on the CAU Phillies baseball network your tune to 950 WPEN Philadelphia the only place to hear the 950 club with gradient Hearst 4 till 6 p.m. weekday afternoons WPEN 950

1:25:28
pitch just misses inside one and one the count Expos lead to nothing Christiansen's pitch foul left side Matthews going towards the line still going it's a fair ball and it's in play bounces off the fence
1:25:47
Cromartie just got the first he didn't run the win must have really carried that ball back Cromartie hit it it looked like it was in foul territory Matthews almost ran right by it he didn't come close to it and Cromartie stood at home plate and watched it
1:26:06
stood there and watched it and he gets a single even though the ball was about six feet fair it bounced up off the fence and Cromartie has a single unbelievable would have been an easy double had he run maybe a triple the way the ball bounced around
1:26:24
here's Tim Wallach who's one for two with a double Christiansen out of the stretch here's a pitch inside ball one that ball really fooled everybody it fooled me it fooled Matthews and it fooled Cromartie
1:26:43
pitch on the way it's low ball to the wall like
1:26:51
looked like when Cromartie hit the ball it would go into the seats actually
1:26:58
to old pitch is a called strike to and when the count to Tim Wallach Cromartie is at first two outs expose lead to nothing or in the top of the sixth inning
1:27:17
Christiansen out of the stretch checks the runner here's the pitch strike to called to into the count
1:27:34
Christiansen ready to to pitch is low ball three full count Cromartie will be running on this pitch

getting some action now in the Phillies bullpen
1:27:51
here's a three to pitch strike three called and Wallach doesn't like that one but he's out of there on strike
1:27:59
fourth strikeout for Christiansen and that'll retire the side no runs one hit one left on Phillies batting in the home six the Expos lead it to nothing
1:28:11
Gary Matthews going to get killed in that field this year that ball almost hit him in the head

1:30:07
DeJesus is 0 for 2 in the ball game the Phillies trail 2-0 bottom of the sixth DeJesus Rose and Matthews the first three batters against Steve Rogers
1:30:18
here's a foul ball off the end of DeJesus is about to count as one and one he's swinging for Mike Pearson in our daily news payoff inning Mike Pearson from Norristown PA
1:30:33
DeJesus still looking for his first base hit on the season takes high and inside 2-1 the count
1:30:46
ball two and a strike on DeJesus Phillies trying to get something going here in the bottom of the sixth inning DeJesus fouls the pitch back
1:31:08
two and two the count to Yvonne DeJesus Steve Rogers has only given up two hits both singles in the fourth inning by Matthews and Vukovich
1:31:20
DeJesus takes outside full count to the leadoff hitter
1:31:30
Rogers getting his sign from Gary Carter here's the pitch low ball for DeJesus walks and the Phillies get their leadoff runner on nobody out
1:31:41
first walk given up by Rogers will send four tickets along to Mike Pearson in Norristown PA and the batter will be Pete Rose
1:31:52
Rose is struck out and grounded out Pete is 1-4-6 on the season he'll be swinging for Anthony Anthony P. Mazza here in Philadelphia in our daily news payoff inning

DeJesus at first nobody out DeJesus with a good leadoff first Rogers out of the stretch here's the pitch Rose takes high ball one Rose faked a bunt took the pitch
1:32:28
Rose swing for Anthony P. Mazza here in Philadelphia in our daily news payoff inning ball one the count to Rose getting some action down the Expos bullpen
1:32:45
Rogers sets checks the runner here's the pitch high and outside ball two all of a sudden Steve Rogers has lost the strike zone 2-0 the count to Rose
1:33:02
Rose will probably look at a pitch here we'll see Rogers walked DeJesus on a 3-2 count now he's 2-0 to Rose Rogers goes the first DeJesus dives back in he's safe
1:33:21
this is no time to get picked off Rogers ready again out of the stretch goes the first again DeJesus is safe
1:33:48
don't think it's getting any warmer here's a 2-0 pitch Rose swings fouls it back 2-1 the count to Rose
1:34:07
DeJesus at first nobody out here's the 2-1 pitch Rose takes outside ball three just missed outside 3-1 the count to Rose
1:34:24
Dave Bristol the third base coach going through a series of signs Rogers behind in the count 3-1
1:34:40
Rogers with a pitch Rose fouls it off on the left side Rose swinging on the 3-1 pitch and it's a full count
1:35:00
DeJesus will probably be running on this pitch Rose is swinging for Anthony Mazza of Philadelphia in our daily news payoff inning Rogers ready goes the first
1:35:12
close play DeJesus safe DeJesus leaning towards second almost got picked off like he might have slipped a little bit trying to get back in the first
1:35:29
count to Rose Rogers is ready Rose is ready here's the pitch Rose check swing foul ball back a home plate DeJesus was running we'll go back to first
1:35:53
the wind above the stadium must be blowing pretty hard those flags are flipping around up there hasn't seen that windy down here inside the stadium
1:36:05
Rogers goes the first DeJesus is safe Rogers trying to keep DeJesus close to the bag checks the runner again goes the first safe again
1:36:31
DeJesus is calling time Rogers is throwing the first base and DeJesus is calling time he wants to dust himself off
1:36:46
these die hard fans haven't had much to cheer about so far they're trying to get something going Rogers ready here's the pitch Rose ground ball to the shortstop Spire grabs goes the first they get Rose DeJesus running on the pitch safe at second base
1:37:07
so DeJesus on second one down as Rose hit the ball sharply but right at Chris Spire will send four tickets along to Anthony Mazza in Philadelphia Gary Matthews the batter he's swinging for Jack Sermon in Philadelphia
1:37:26
Matthews one for two with a single hitting at three thirty three DeJesus a long lead off second the pitch to Matthews strike called fastball right through there Matthews swinging for Jack Sermon Shelton Avenue in Philadelphia in our daily news payoff inning
1:37:50
Philly's trying to get on the board here Rogers out of the stretch here's the pitch Matthews takes a called strike to two fastballs right through the heart of the plate oh and to the count to Gary Matthews
1:38:17
DeJesus with that long lead to strike pitch strike three called breaking ball right through the heart of the plate so Gary Matthews looked at three straight call strikes as Rogers picks up his eighth strikeout
1:38:35
will send four tickets along to Jack Sermon in Philadelphia Mike Smith the batter Smitty has grounded out and struck out he's swinging for Larnie Davis North 18th Street in Philadelphia DeJesus at second two outs now
1:38:59
Rogers ready Schmidt takes low and outside ball one with a base open Schmidt probably will not get too much to swing at Mike is looking for his first base hit on the season he's 0 for 4 so far in the first two games he's swinging for Larnie Davis in Philadelphia in our daily news payoff inning
1:39:24
Rogers with a pitch outside ball to Rogers hasn't come close to the strike zone with his first two pitches on Schmidt to an old account
1:39:39
Schmidt gets on George Vukovich with that
1:39:48
Rogers ready to old pitch is high ball three way out of the strike zone three you know the count the Smith he'll probably get a green light on the three oh if Rogers will come anywhere near the strike zone
1:40:09
Schmidt walked a couple of times in that first game against the Mets three old pitch by Rogers strike calls many evidently was not swinging at that pitch because that was right through the middle of the plate three and one to count the Smith
1:40:33
DeJesus leads off second three one pitch strike to call slider caught the inside corner.
1:40:44
Full count to Schmidt so Rogers has not backed off on the three old count. He's thrown a couple of strikes.
1:41:01
Rogers gets his sign from Gary Carter.
1:41:05
Three to pitch Schmidt he fouls it back out of play
1:41:14
at three to pitch to Schmidt might have been a little high but it was borderline and Schmidt fouled it off.
1:41:25
I just goes through all kinds of
1:41:30
premises and contortions out in the mound
1:41:35
three to pitch to Schmidt ball for way low and outside Schmidt walks
1:41:42
two on two outs and the batter George Vukovich will send four tickets to Larni Davis in Philadelphia.
1:41:51
Vukovich swinging for Peter a Murasio Alastin wrote in Springfield P.A.
1:42:00
DeJesus at second Schmidt at first they represent the tying runs
1:42:07

1:42:34
The runners lead off
1:42:38

1:43:27
both DeJesus and Schmidt with long leads
1:43:35
Rogers gets his sign
1:43:38
pitch on the way ground ball foul pass first
1:43:43
once again
1:43:46

1:44:23
for the Phillies no runs no hits two left on after six full innings at the Expos to the Phillies nothing

seventh inning baseball with the Expos still leading two to nothing
1:45:49
Steve Rogers getting out of a little sixth inning trouble after walking a couple of batters
1:45:55
Larry Christensen is pitch strong baseball but he's given up a home run in the first inning to Andre Dawson and then a fourth inning run
1:46:05
and that's the scoring in the ball game
1:46:07
Harry Callis for seventh inning play by play, Harry
1:46:11
I thank you Rich leading off the Expos will be Chris Spire he has walked and hit a sacrifice fly to drive in one of Montreal's two runs
1:46:20
so Spire does not have any official at bats he leads off Montreal's seventh he'll be followed by Steve Rogers and then Tim Rains
1:46:31
Harry Christensen has his sign from Diaz and here's the pitch to Spire fastball on the inside quarter it's a called strike
1:46:40
one strike to Chris Spire
1:46:46
here's a wind up by LC and the one strike pitch checked his swing it's low for a ball and it's one on one
1:46:56
first game in a three game set with the Expos the mile nine at 7.05 Dick Ruthven and Bill Gullickson
1:47:03
here's the one one pitch to Spire strike it's called a ball and two strikes to Chris Spire
1:47:09
Sunday afternoon at 1.35 it'll be Mike Kruko for the Fills and Ray Burris for Montreal
1:47:16
one two pitch in the dirt for a ball it's two and two
1:47:23
Montreal with two runs and six hits Phillies no runs and two hits in the seventh
1:47:29
two two pitch to Spire and missed by much a little bit low for a ball a full count to Chris Spire
1:47:43
here's the three two pitch swing and he popped him up behind third Yvonne DeJesus the shortstop is there and he makes the grab
1:47:51
Spire is out one down that'll bring out a pitcher Steve Rogers he is struck out and grounded out
1:48:00
one down the seventh inning Phillies have left hander Sparky Lyle and right hander Warren Brewster up in the bullpen
1:48:08
might be Christensen's last inning he is scheduled to be the fourth batter in the bottom half of this inning
1:48:18
pitch to Rogers he checks on a low breaking ball the appeal goes down to first base umpire Eric Gregg and Gregg says no swing
1:48:26
ball and no strikes to Steve Rogers pitch to Rogers swing and a pop up down the first base side
1:48:34
Pete Rose coming in he waits he puts it away and Rogers is up
1:48:39
two quick outs for Christensen on a couple of pop ups and that'll bring on the top of the order Tim Raines
1:48:45
Raines is flying out to left he's grounded out to second and he is struck out
1:48:55
Christensen has kept the speed burners for Montreal off the bases Tim Raines and Wallace Johnson
1:49:02
but Andre Dawson has hit a home run
1:49:07
and a sacrifice fly by Chris Spire
1:49:11
produced the Expos second run here's the pitch to Raines he takes high for a ball it's one of nothing
1:49:24
wind up by Christensen in the 1-0 pitch missing outside and low for a ball it's 2-0
1:49:32
Christensen has picked up four strikeouts he is walked two
1:49:38
the 2-0 pitch swaying he had a cut and he fouled it straight back it's 2-1 to Tim Raines
1:49:46
Phillies play Raines way way around to the opposite field
1:49:54
two balls and a strike to Tim Raines with two outs
1:50:00
the 2-1 pitch to Raines is high for a ball falls behind Raines three and one
1:50:08
Raines is a guy you want to make hit his way on
1:50:12
3-1 pitch to him swaying and he lost the foul it's out of play it's a full count to Tim Raines
1:50:25
now Christensen looking down for the sign from Bo Diaz
1:50:31
here's the 3-2 pitch low ball for he walked him so Raines is a base runner for the first time tonight
1:50:39
and watch him Bo Diaz trots out to talk to Larry Christensen
1:50:46
we'll get a chance to see Raines try to steal we'll get a chance to see Bo Diaz try to throw him out I guess
1:50:55
it's going to depend on how well Christensen can hold him to the bag I think Raines was only thrown out three times last year
1:51:02
and I'm wondering how they got him three times the Phillies didn't throw him out once
1:51:07
he stole 71 bases and Tim Raines at first base taking the lead
1:51:18
here's the stretch by Christensen Raines starts and stops and the fastball is a called strike on the outside corner of Wallace Johnson
1:51:27
Johnson is nothing for three
1:51:35
a throw to first base Tim Raines gets back ball drops out of the glove of Pete Rose
1:51:50
Tim Raines runner at first base two down here in the seventh
1:52:00
now the stretch by Christensen he starts and stops drive to deep right field but Vukovich is back near the warning track makes the grab
1:52:09
Wallace Johnson is out and so are the Expos in the seventh no runs no hits no errors they leave one
1:52:17
we go to the bottom half of the seventh inning the score Montreal two and the Phillies nothing
1:52:24

The faculty and administration of Widener University share a belief that has made the institution one of the most sought after private universities in the Delaware Valley.
2:06:41
The belief is simply that higher education while presenting the theoretical knowledge to broaden personal horizons should also be practical.
2:06:48
Widener's 10 master's programs and its curricula at the Delaware Law School leading to the Juris Doctor degree are all designed for the person seeking career mobility.
2:06:57
If a master's degree in engineering taxation industrial management or health administration won't serve your needs perhaps the combined degree programs leading the master of business administration and master of engineering degrees or the master of business administration and jurors doctor degrees will.
2:07:15
Widener also offers the master of education and three separate master of science and nursing degrees in oncology nursing nursing administration and the unique burn emergency and trauma program.

2:22:46
The
2:22:49
We go to the bottom half of the night setting and still Montreal to fillies nothing.
2:22:56
You know whoppers is where the whoopie is that's a fact because there's whoopie and every whopper molded milk candy you know it that great tasting chocolatey coated molded milk crunch right on.

People who compare IRAs choose Gerard I compared banks savings and loans money market mutual funds and I found that Gerard's IRAs were the most convenient and the highest interest rate at the time the Gerard IRA was extremely simple to set up.
2:23:38
I made an appointment and was able to start my IRA account at lunchtime and still have time for lunch call for an appointment to set up your IRA today Gerard's fixed rate is fourteen point five five percent.
2:23:52
Substantial penalty for early withdrawal member FDIC.
2:24:22
We go to the bottom half of the ninth inning the last chance for the Phillies it'll be Gary Matthews Mike Schmidt and George Vukovich to pay Steve Rogers.
2:24:40
As we move to the bottom of the night will pause 10 seconds for station identification of the CAU Phillies baseball network.
2:24:48
The station of the stars 950 WP and Philadelphia with Andy Hopkins from 10 in the morning until three in the afternoon.
2:24:57
Tell a friend Gary Matthews standing and he has one of the two hits surrendered by Steve Rogers.
2:25:04
He is grounded out single and struck out Rogers pitch to Matthews is low for a ball one and nothing.
2:25:13
Matthews the only Phillies runner to reach third base tonight.
2:25:20
Wind up by Rogers 1 0 pitch to Matthews line drive left field there range he misjudges it.
2:25:28
It goes over his head. Matthews on his way to second he is there with a double.
2:25:35
But Tim Ray should have caught that baseball he stood in his track and never moved back until the ball went over his head.
2:25:44
I have a feeling Harry that he didn't get a good look at it at first and then I guess he had trouble with the lights.
2:25:51
He never came close to catching the ball. He seemed to be looking at it.
2:25:57
Seemed to lost it tried to pick it up and I think when he did pick it up it was it was just too late.
2:26:03
That was a break regardless.
2:26:07
Matthews at second base with a double on a ball that soared over the head of Tim Ray.
2:26:14
There is Mike Smith. He is grounded out struck out and walk.
2:26:22
Mike looking for his first hit of 1982.
2:26:28
Here's a stretch by Rogers and the pitch to Schmidt. Swaying he chased a low breaking ball and he missed it one strike to Schmidt.
2:26:38
Rogers tough on Schmidt. He's one of the few pitchers that Mike has a lot of trouble with.
2:26:44
Last year Schmidt was 2 for 17 including the division series.
2:26:51
Off Steve Rogers.
2:26:57
Here's a stretch by Rogers and the pitch to Schmidt. High for a ball one ball of one strike to Mike Schmidt.
2:27:07
Gary Matthews at second base nobody out ninth inning. Exposed lead to nothing.
2:27:24
Here's a stretch by Rogers and the pitch to Schmidt swaying in a pop foul it's out of play and Rogers in front of Mike Schmidt one ball and two strikes.
2:27:41
Exposed keep Jeff Reardon and Woody Priman up in the bullpen.
2:27:52
Gary Matthews at second base nobody out ninth inning.
2:27:59
Here's the one to pitch to Schmidt swing and a man he struck him out strike out number 10 for Rogers one down here in the ninth inning and that'll bring on George Vukovich.
2:28:12
A perfect pitch in that with that count of a ball and two strikes it was a little outside but it was borderline. Schmidt chased it too close to take.
2:28:24
Vukovich has struck out singled and popped up to the mound.
2:28:36
Here's the stretch by Rogers the pitch to Vukovich is a bit low for a ball one and nothing.
2:28:43
Ninth inning Matthews at second base and one down.
2:28:58
Rogers OK is the sign the stretch and the pitch to Vukovich swaying and a fly ball right center field Dawson on his horse he's there makes the catch.
2:29:09
So Vukovich is out that's two down and it's up to Gary Maddox to keep the game alive.
2:29:18
Maddox has struck out lined out sharply to right center and struck out.
2:29:25
Matthews fill at second base with two down.
2:29:42
Maddox stands in here's the stretch by Rogers to the pitch to Maddox bouncing ball the third should be the ball game wallach throw Maddox is out it's all over in the Montreal Expos went at two to nothing on the brilliant three hit shutout pitching as Steve Rogers.
2:30:00
For the Phillies in the ninth no runs and one hit nowhere is leaving one final two nothing Montreal back with a final total is in a recap right after these words.
2:30:13
