Last season's record: 92-70 (best prediction: Romey 91-71 ) - World F*cking Champions
Notable Additions:
- Raul Ibanez
- Joe Blanton - 2008 mid season pickup
- Ho Chi Min or someone of the like
Notable Losses:
- Pat Burrell
- Adam Eaton
- Geoff Jenkins
My prediction this year: 93-69, 1st place in the division.

Notable Losses:
i suppose it's only notable because it's addition by subtraction. i had hope for eaton last year. he actually started off half decent and then totally shtein the bed. good riddance.
since i wasn't around for the 2nd half of the season last year, i'd just like to point out that the phils had a winning record in april for the first time in forever. not that games in april mean anything......
94-68 1st Place NL East......again
eaton is notable because he began the season in the starting rotation last year
i assume thats what sun is doing comparing opening day this year to opening day last year...altho that doesnt explain why chan ho park isnt a notable addition
Speaking of choking, how about that Jay Cutler. What a dog.
if only those last three games hadnt happened....the end was very sudden
Eh, he's been dying for years.
so without reading through the old phillies thread, what's everyone's opinions on burrell leaving and the ibanez signing? overall, i don't really know if it improves the team all that much or not. probably close to an even swap. but i am a bit hesitant about having another lefty in the batting order since the lineup is already lefty dominant. at least jimmy, shane and dobsy can switch hit. but i think that had i known ibanez would have been the answer, i would have just preferred they re-sign burrell.
Ibanez sucks defensively but they claim they won't need to replace him in the 8th and 9th innings, so we'll see. He's a better contact hitter than Pat and can hit lefty pitching, and MLB.com projects he'll have around 25 HRs and 100 RBIs. Seems like a lot of people hate the move because the Phils spent $10M/yr and lost their 1st-round pick (plus Pat is gone) but I'll give him a chance...
I'm not expecting back-to-back titles and won't get my hopes up, but if everything goes well they should win at least 95 and be in the playoffs again...
if you thought it was unrealistic that they were going to win a title last year, then there is no reason it cant happen again
Im going back to back
Kris Benson made the Rangers starting rotation.
adam eaton is the orioles #3
no shtein
I probably should have started the season thread and then deleted it like I did last year.
jinx is over silly....they won last year

Myers wins that 15 games this year I predicted last year. :-D

I'll go with 83-79. But whatever. World Champs until proven otherwise!

Quote"When they won, I didn't know what to do," said one resident of that strange new world, 28-year-old Brian Turcich. "I was in a bar with about 20 friends. The place was packed. And when they got the final out, there was like a pause, like, Did that just happen? Then everyone started hugging and kissing and high-fiving all the way down the street. But it was just such a weird situation. No one really knew what to do, because you've got this whole generation of kids who had never won a championship."

I'm not a Phillies fan, but I'm definatly a Ryan Howard fan.
From ESPN (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?playerId=6097)
QuoteNews: Howard hit his eight home run of the spring on Saturday.
Spin: Howard is hitting .296 this spring and has stuck out 17 times in 58 at-bats. It's encouraging to see Howard hot this spring. Hopefully, he'll be able to carry it over to the start of the season and avoid another slow start like last season.
I don't know what it is about left handers and how most of them have a sweet swing, but whatever it is he's got it. He strikes out a lot, but when he gets ahold of it he crushes it.
The guy had 48 home runs and 146 rbi's last year yet he's supposed to "bounce back" from that?
Otay buhweet.
In 33 mins. The fargin world champs take the field. So everyone doggin the Phillies can suck it!!
25 mins. My boy is off the wall, he can't wait!

Especially running around the bases on his first career HR, courtesty of Brett "Meatball" Myers.
I'm going to have to watch WS Game 5 to get myself to sleep tonight.
Ya know...I'm not diggin' the gold outlines. I hope its just for today. Chooch rips a double....and Myers grounds out. Jimmy up with 2 out.
I hate the gold crap. Get rid of that shtein right now.
baserunner!!!
They signed Gustavo Chacin to a minor league deal. Low risk move if he never recovers what he had in his first year with Toronto. But he's been awful since and the Nats cut him in ST.
A RUN! :D
And a walk to Utley brings Howard up as the tying run...
And he takes a fastball for strike three. On pace for 324 Ks for the year.
i turned it on with jimmys ab in the 9th. so i guess i missed a good game. cant get mad. 5 year grace period in effect.

It was a good game... if you were a Braves fan.
Myers threw meatballs the first two innings and straightened out, but the damage was done. Lowe made the Phils' hitters look foolish.
big deal, still the world fargin champs
really would anyone care if the phils went 0-162
the gold crap is something that the World Series winners have been doing for a couple of years now, started by the Red Sox, and the Cardinals did it too....
The WS patch on the right sleeve will be there for every home game though...
Phillies suck
wtf Howard? So much for having a great spring.
Day off to rest (for us to rest). Like Geo, off to watch replays of Victorino's Grand Slam off Sabathia, Stairs fricken Monster that just landed in Sacramento and game 5 of the Selig Bowl.

Probably a little, but they always start slow in April. And it's not like the king was pitching last night. You have to take bad Myers with good Myers.
Wonder if his wife got that advice...
His wife is more of a man than Jose Reyes.
Maybe, but she obviously doesn't run as fast.
Yeah, he really legs out those pop-ups in September.
I'll bet Myers can't wait to "Dutch" her ass now that he's got that WS ring...
When you say "her" ass, are you talking about David Wright or Reyes again?
Busting Feva's balls about the Mets really never gets old.
Actually, swinging from my balls never gets old... as you guys surely can attest to.
the mets won yesterday and he's all swolled up
Nah, I blew a pretty good load yesterday, thanks... just ask FF.
The Mets better build up a 30 game lead before late August.
unless reyes gives aids to the whole team the starting rotation blows up badly or both krod and putz go down (any or all of which are very possible) the mets arent choking this year
Naturally.
Go Phils.

i saw that too....bullshtein
move out of the sticks fellas
actually on direct tv's schedule they list it...but on my tv (comcast) it didnt show this morning...i thought maybe its a comcast mix up on their schedule listing and it will be on but i dont think so because the actual mlb extra innnings website says its not on...how can direct tv be getting it then tho?...i wonder if because on comcast the mlb and nhl packages have to share channels that it got bumped
its still bullcrap but its really not a big deal for this evening anyway because the sixers and flyers are on tonight both of which would get watched over the phils anyway
Do they usually show CW57/phl17 games on EI? The Flyers are on CSN tonight. They could've shown the Atlanta feed at least...
I know that direct dedicates more channels to the MLB and NHL packages than cable usually does (cable usually has MLB and NHL channel overlapping, which will reduce both when both seasons are going on).
On a side note: check TBS. Never mind. It's on Peachtree.

i think they only show csn feeds...and that might be the problem because the atlanta feed is on that podunk peachtree network which they probably dont show feeds of either
Yeah, if I remember right the Peachtree doesn't show it either. And PHL games never are shown, which is why the Sunday afternoon games are always the visiting team broadcasts.
TBS showed nothing a "TBA" from 7 until 10...but down here the game would start at 6pm.
igy, I think you're right about the Ice package and EI sharing...but its bullshtein either way.
Is there a free preview of mlb.tv going on?
thats a good question...i cant recall if mlb.tv offers freee previews...whenever i got it i paid in advance so i wasnt even looking for it...im not gonna worry about it anyway ill have flyers sixers on last channel and dont need a game on a laptop also going
plus moyer is gonna get slaughtered anyway....what are the chances hes still in the rotation past the all star break...if he is its only because hes jamie moyer
Pregame stuff was awesome, but the game was the most boring sporting event I've ever attended. I'll try to post some high quality pics later
Yahoo has the Phils feed being on WPHL.
Direct does list the game. I'm guessing it's the Peachtree feed.

Yeah, I wonder if he can last and if he does, how long can he do it with smoke and mirrors.
Would they yank him out of the rotation fresh off a 2yr deal? Put Happ in there?
its hard for me to believe they would yank a veteran that respected and loved...its one thing to yank kyle kendrick...but i can also see moyer pulling himself...he seems like a stand guy who wouldnt want to be in the lineup if he couldnt play anymore
i read that Comcast Philly (the old CN8) has added a HD channel, 201...so when games get bumped there they won't look so terrible.

Dook is like 46. I'm still amazed he had a season like he did last year. No way he can do that again
wow how great is it to hear rem dog and orsillo, kiper and krukow, the awful michael kay, the sny guys, the smugness of chip caray....i love extra innings.
Howard? Did you see that?
Victorino looks like crap. That World Baseball Classic did him wonders.
Well...I can't watch it and it may be better that way. Larry just went yard...4-0 Braves.
Way to open up the year you big headed fargs.
how can anyone get mad. the phillies could collectively rape a paraplegic 12 year old and i would be mad at them.
you people need to stop sounding like Redsoxs fans
Pathetic.
:boo
I missed the game. Good thing, because apparently so did the Phillies.
Pitching-Meh. Could be much better but 4 runs isn't exactly pitching themselves out of the game.
Offense-farging horrible right now.
Whatever. World Champs. Season's over, time to move on, etc and so on.
Relax, fargheads:
QuoteThe Phillies are off to an 0-2 start for the fourth straight year. They'll receive their 2008 championship rings Wednesday before trying to avoid a three-game sweep.
This is not a really, really big deal.
if they go 0-18 its not a big deal as long as the mets dont win

It's the first time since 194x the defending champs went 0-2. Before that is was in the teens. So it's only about the third time in the history of baseball.
And yet, it still isn't the slightest bit interesting. Leave it to baseball to make statistical anomalies utterly devoid of interest.
ring ceremony just starting now. Burrell, Jenkins, Romero, Eaton and Kendrick are there...
Burrell being there is mildly interesting. The other four have nothing better to do.
is romero allowed to work out with the team while suspended and just can't suit up for games?
eaton got his assed booed off
(http://www.gmissett.net/ring.JPG)
Burrell got the biggest ovation of all of them. Gillick was crying like a baby throughout. Good stuff. Time to win...
shut up bostonian
i feel bad for the fans who have been down at the park to see all the ceremonies in the first series after a title and gotta watch three days of complete and utter garbage
it would be great if pro scheduling was like college.
like when unc does they thing next year theyll get unc greensboro and la salle or something to come to the dean dome for their national title party games. why couldnt the phillies sked the pirates or something now so they could get the win on top of the party.
you dont honestly believe they would have beaten the pirates do you?
well no not the way theyre playing. but you get the idea. and the better you are, the more power you have in scheduling games.
I see Joe Blanton is taking the Brett Myers approach to pitching. Long bombs to McCann.
the only good part of this series is that i have chipper jurrjenns mccann and kelly johnson on my fantasy squad
ibby!
nice shutdown inning fat ass

And horrible ass baseball. These fargs are playing like bitches. The Braves and Fish are killing the ball...the Phils can't do shtein.
Wake up you slackers.
Oh look!! Another double.
Blanton is cooked...get Happ in there.
my god what is wrong with harry...he keeps breathing all heavy into the microphone and just in general sounds like hes having a stroke
two harry calls in the last five minutes

And good patience by the Phils' hitters. Five walks and four singles. Eight runs without an extra base hit. Incredible inning.
Simpson sounded like a close relative died.
SD sent me a text saying the Phillies won.
My reply:
BULLshtein.
:-D
I got a haircut and ate dinner and missed the comeback. Idiot.
So, will Lidge blow a save in April? I say yes. Get it out of the way.
Amazing.
I left the house to go into the office and when I got out of my truck Howard had just gotten beaned. I get back in about 30 minutes later and they are leading 11-10. I about shtein myself.

dont be too tough on the big guy. hes got shtein going on, can't be on the up and up all the time. the fact that he knows ahead of time what station is carrying the phillies game on EI makes me think that easy is ready to go. come on now son.

has anyone seen this yet...how bad or good does it look
it's better than the OG, but it's awful when talking about HD channels in comparison.
uhhh, where is the game on CN8?
I have a blank screen.

Yeah, he was getting the ball up in the zone. Not sure if that was lack of command (probably) or because the home plate umpire has a high strike zone (he does - pitchers are getting stike calls at the letters but not at the knees). I think his velocity wasn't quite there, either - probably mid-80s rather than high 80s-low 90s.
Dawg hits into THREE double plays today. Happy Easter.
If Werth was playing for the Rockies today, it would have REALLY been ugly.
at least pg is happy
Can someone please tell these fargbags that 2008 is over?
Good god...
Chooch strained his right oblique...probably headed to the DL.
Marson was held outta LV's line-up today.
he was awful in spring training so why not
but really so long as their within a few games of .500 by the end of the month who cares. the starting pitching has been brutal. it should get better. calm down, theyre not going 162-0 you spoiled bostonian.
They can go.0 and 162 and I'm happy.

Ibanez with a steroid homer in the upper deck--jesus christ
ibanez is awesome.
madson is farging filthy
so all this whining and bitching and theyre 2-3. okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
I just finished watching it on the DVR...great to see all the 2-out runs. And yeah, Madson is straight dirty. He added those couple of MPH to his fastball and when combined with that change made them look stupid.
Feliz is lookin' good so far...after the back surgery and Utley doesn't even look like he had hip surgery.
Will they start Marson tomorrow?
Hopefully Ho Chi Minh can give 'em a good start.
park is going tomorrow not moyer?
me matty and a bunch of other doods are going to the nats opener vs the fightins monday...cant believe we get moyer...if theres one phils game all year i feel strongly about all year its that one

all spring park is talking about how dedicate dhe is and he skipped the world baseball classic to concentrate on starting for the phils...and you always had that sense that he would bitch and whine if he was sent to the pen...so what does he do in his first start...farging four piece in the first inning

No doubt...Howard was on the move.
Way to be Ibanez...right off Cook's ass.
Be nice toget another 2-out run here.
And agreed on Park...dude came in here spouting off about starting, and he pitched like he wanted it in spring, but comes out when the bullets are live and shteins the bed. Way to be, pal.
Come on COSTE!

Hopefully that work helps him avoid the slumps that have occasionally plagued him - especially the early-season ones.
I've been on record that J.A. Happ would be in Park's spot in the rotaiton by June. If Park pitches like this, the move could be made by May.
Park will get a couple starts, so at least they're trying him out early. Wheels with his usual gold commentary, saying it's a pitchers day because it's only in the 40's...then using the cold excuse to defend Park's 1st inning. I thought Happ would get the 5 spot all along with the thinking he could pull a Kendrick since he's still an unknown around the league.
4-1
And the Korean gives up the long ball 5-1
King - elbow/velocity issues
Myers - gopher ball issues
Moyer - age issues
Blanton - got lit
Park - shteintiness issues
The Phils staff leads the league in HR allowed (some dude named Dexter Fowler takes Park yard as I type this) with 13
They also have given up the fewest walks...so that's something positive, I guess.
Goddamn motherfarging Phillies. farg.
what the farg do you expect out of park. he won the job but barely. manuel wont hesitate to yank him if he shteins the bed again.
Phreak, take a pill.
Anyone freaking about Hamels needs tp remember that he missed a chunk of ST. Let him get his groove back in a few more innings.

Personally, I think that either Park or Happ are keeping the spot warm for Carrasco. I can see him being slotted in the rotation come June or July.
No way...I'm tired of watching these fools get their heads beat in.
And I worry about Hamels because of his workload last year. Obviously I will give him time, but until he shakes it off I will be worried.

i love the guy, we all grew up on him, but hes beyond done. the only good call he had all playoffs was for the nl east crown (that was vintage harry and it only comes out every so often). id keep him around announcing 9th innings of home games and key road games as a novelty act and give the keys to franzke.

He's young (22), but he's been in the minor league sysem since 2004 and has logged nearly 600 innings (587 according to thebaseballcube.com). I think you'll see him this year at some point. Next year for good.

Harry is lead announcer until he drops dead. Which may be soon.
I love LA as an announcer. He has some good anecdotes, and has also become a pretty good color analyst. I don't know enough about Franzke to give an informed opinion.
Sarge sounds like Mushmouth on Fat Albert. I can't make out half of what he's saying.
Anyone else hear Scott Graham on the MLB on XM morning show? He's doing a show with Buck Martinez. I know he 's been labeled as "Harry lite," but I thought he was a pretty decent radio guy, if he perhaps sounds a little like a game show announcer doing it.

He still enjoys getting pounded in the ass.
Today's game belongs to the bullpen. They've been stellar after Park crapped the bed for five.
The bullpen helped make this team World Champs, and they'll go as far as the bullpen will take them this year.
i was just gonna say how you dont really want a high strikeout guy up there in a spot where all you need is a flyball but fargin hell MATT STAIRS
hes so fat and awesome
kudos to charlie for pushing the right buttons this game as well...he could have used stairs earlier when they were down but went with dobbs instead to save the power bat for a late late game situation
they didnt need power there, they needed a sac fly. obviously the homerun is great, but thats spot is ideal for dobbsy.
but its moot, they win the game. lights out dont blow saves.
no you need a guy who hits the ball hard...power isnt just about home runs...stairs aint dribbling any balls and with the infield in you want someone who can hit it thru them as well as over them...and thats stairs
ut oh
if you dont want dobbs up in that spot over anybody on the bench youre a fool. need a long ball the yea stairs.
lidge got it done. 3-3. calm down Romes.
ill take stairs every time there to get the run home...if i want to get the tying or winning run on base i go with dobbs
so im charlie manuel and youre that old italian guy?

Nice series against the Nats coming for Moyer Blanton and King to try to get something going. Unfortunately you know at least one of them is going to get lit up even against the Nats.
moyer is going down and going down hard
might as well since both madsen and lidge are most likely unavailable for tomorrow....get blown out early and let happ go six or seven innings
Great comeback today. I was pissed when Ibanez GIDP in the 7th, but they kept getting runners on. Great job by Utley...I called that shot. In between mouthfuls of delicious Peruvian grub and beer. And I agree with PH'ing Stairs there...its all about the power. He may K, but even if he doesn't jack it, he's got an uppercut swing to get the Sac Fly.
The Nats are winless. The recipe for a Phils sweep if I ever saw one.

The dude is so nonchalant too. 41 years old, probably slammin' Molson's in the clubhouse until the 6th inning...takes a few rips in the underground cage, comes out to the dugout and talks some hitting and goes up and mashes balls 20 rows deep.

No, not even close. I'm realistic when it comes to the lower part of the order.
What's the "lower part?" Just the pitcher's spot?
Feliz, whoever is catching, pitcher...and even though Werth and Victorino can jack 'em, I dont expect them to rip bombs all the time. Everyone else can go yard at any time so its not unreasonable to expect or hope for them to do it.
Yes, but it is unreasonable to later claim you "called" it.

Damn...I heard it on ESPN Radio while on lunch. I did not get to hear the Phils feed yesterday, only the Rockies...but I am watching ESPN News and they were piping in the phone calls from 950. I just called my grandparents and they didnt know yet. This sucks.
I mean, we all could hear he was losing it, but I'm shocked to hear he's dead.
RIP Harry.
I had a lump in my throat when I heard. I immediately thought of how his voice was my summers since I knew what baseball was. All those years of listenig with my grandpop while fishing on while we were chillin down the shore.
Terrible.
Junior had the day off from school and just told me to turn on ESPN. Unbelievable. I had heard he wasn't looking to good this season. What a bummer. I missed yesterday's game due to Easter brunch but I am so glad now I watched Saturday.
FYI - actually got his start in Hawaii in the 60's calling Hawaii Islander games in the Pacific Coast League.
Wheeler showing no signs of sadness?
I can't even imagine LA's reaction on the radio.
Wheeler was tearing up pretty good on the TV broadcast.
Really PG? Is Wheels all happy and shtein?

Let's ask him if he'd rather be on the road with the putzes he worked with or at home with his family. Oops, can't ask him. Oh well, I'll just assume that I'm right again and move on with my life.
Damn shocking news none the less. Glad they won it for him last year. Earliest memories of baseball was listening to him call the games with my grand parents. Now he's with them talking Phils I am sure :'(

despite having a living drooling legend the phils are awful announcers on tv. harry is face deep in the washed up category, wheels is one of the worst announcers in the history of sports, t mac is a mets fan and sarge is only good for comic relief, hes never said anything remotely valuable.
Leave Harry alone you jew bastich
I hope you feel like shtein today
Call me a Hoyda but I had to pull over on the side of the road on my way to class. WIP was playing the 9th inning of the World Series.
Why couldn't it had been Wheels?
Please don't screw this up today Jamie. Please.

If the only broadcasting Harry had ever done had been his work with NFL Films, he would have been one of the great voices of sports. And that was just a side project.
I can't imagine Phillies baseball without that voice. I don't want to.

Monday, April 13, 2009
By Rob Maaddi
The Associated Press
Hall of Fame broadcaster Harry Kalas will always be remembered by Phillies fans for his signature "Outta here!" home-run calls, singing "High Hopes" during post-game celebrations and his long, smooth delivery behind the microphone.
Here's a Top 10, in no particular order, of some of the most memorable calls Kalas made during his 39 seasons in Philadelphia:
1. Oct. 29, 2008: Brad Lidge strikes out Tampa Bay's Eric Hinske for the final out of the World Series.
"One strike away, nothing-and-two the count to Hinske. Fans on their feet, rally towels are being waved.... Brad Lidge stretches ... the 0-2 pitch ... swing and a miss! Struck him out! ... The Philadelphia Phillies are 2008 World Champions of baseball!
"Brad Lidge does it again and stays perfect for the 2008 season, 48-for-48 in save opportunities and let the city celebrate!
2. April 18, 1987: Mike Schmidt hits his 500th home run off Pittsburgh's Don Robinson.
"Swing and a long drive... there it is... No. 500, the career 500th home run for Michael Jack Schmidt and the Phillies have regained the lead at Pittsburgh 8 to 6."
3. Oct. 13, 1993: Mitch Williams strikes out Atlanta's Bill Pecota for the final out of the NLCS.
"Swing and a miss! Struck him out! The Phillies are the '93 National League Champions! Mitch Williams, a 1-2-3 save and this place is bedlam at Veterans Stadium."
4. Oct. 12, 1980: Dick Ruthven retires Houston's Enos Cabell on line drive for the final out of the NLCS.
"The 3-2 pitch ... Swing and a drive to right-center field.... Maddox is there. Garry Maddox catches the final out of the game.... The Phillies have won it in 10 and they're being mobbed. The Phillies are in the World Series."
5. Aug. 9, 2006: Chase Utley scores from second base on a routine bouncer back to the first-base side of the pitcher's mound against Atlanta during a 9-3 victory.
"A high-chop to the mound.... Chase Utley keeps on running. Chase Utley, you are the man!"
6. Sept. 30, 2007: Brett Myers strikes out Washington's Wily Mo Pena to clinch the NL East title.
"Curve ball, struck him out. The Phillies are National League East champions. Look at the scene on the field. Look at the scene in the stands. This is incredible. The Phillies are National Leagues East champions and going to the postseason for the first time since 1993. Wow!"
7. Sept. 27, 2008: Brad Lidge retires Washington's Ryan Zimmerman on a double-play grounder to clinch NL East title and improve to 41-for-41 in save situations.
"The pitch to Zimmerman... ground ball up the middle... J-roll dives... to Utley one.. relay... double play. The Phillies are the National League Eastern Division champions on a spectacular double play by J-roll to Utley to Howard. What a play by J-roll!"
8. July 2, 1993: Phillies closer Mitch Williams delivers a game-winning RBI single at 4:42 AM EST against San Diego in the second game of a rain-delayed doubleheader.
"Line drive... left-center field... Incaviglia scores and the Phillies win it on a base hit by Mitchie-poo!"
9. July 10, 1993: Mickey Morandini hits a grand slam off San Francisco's Dave Righetti in the eighth inning of an 8-3 win.
"Righetti stretches.... 1-2 pitch... swing and a well-hit ball to deep right.... this ball is a grand slam, a grand slam home run Mickey Morandini and the Phillies have broken this game wide open."
10. April 12, 2008: Kalas' last call the day before his death. Brad Lidge retires Colorado's Troy Tulowitzki for final out of a 7-5 victory.
"One ball, two strikes.... Bouncing ball to Chase Utley... should be the game.... Chase throws him out and that will be it as the Phils win two out of three here at Coors Field."

Thanks for posting the CSN tribute...if anyone else has video or audio of stuff please post it.
The tribute got to me. I've been sad all day. I DVR'd the rest of the game and came home to watch it. I simply can't believe that Harry is gone. :'(

Andersen really got to me. :'(
Steve and I met Harry a few years back in NY after an Eagles Giants game...such a nice man. Mets fan or not, I'm heartbroken. I was just saying yesterday that the only good thing about me living in Philly during baseball season was that I would get to listen to Harry for a full season. :'(
lots of videos, stories and pics on 6ABC (http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?section=news/sports/pro/baseball&id=6758241) and NBC10 (http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/sports/baseball/phillies/Harry-Kalas-Dies.html), including Moyer recalling the last time he saw Harry this morning......said he came into the locker room, looked around, didn't say anything, and walked out. There's even a second where Eskin had some tears...
Thank you for all the links guys. I am glad I'm not the only one who felt like crap today. I was watching Sportscenter with my wife and son tonight and almost lost it. When they play his call from game 5 last year and show Lidge go to his knees, wow. One of the greatest moments of my life. My son still goes around the house now and than and will yell out "swing and a miss, struck him out!". Thank you Harry!
From the Honolulu Star-Bulletin tonight:
Quote
Aloha, Harry Kalas
Harry Kalas died today.
You've heard his voice.
If you're a youngster, you know it from NFL Films and the Chunky Soup commercials.
If you're from Philadelphia, you know it because he was the longtime voice of the 2008 World Champs.
If you work at the Star-Bulletin, you've heard Jerry Campany's impersonation of Kalas' staccato baritone "Outta .. Here ... Home Run ... " anytime one of his fantasy players knocked one out of the park.
But if you're a Hawaii sports fan in your late 50s or older, you and Harry Kalas go way back, to the early 1960s when Kalas was the Islanders' first play-by-pay guy. Before Al Michaels, before Hank Greenwald, before Les Keiter even. His success also helped pave the way for guys of the next generation, like Larry Biel and Neal Everett. Hawaii became a cradle for sportscasting greatness, with Kalas among the pioneers.
Kalas also did high school and UH games while here, and always got the local names right.
I'm a little too young to remember Kalas (I was born the same year as the Islanders, 1961), but everyone I know who knew him said he was a great guy ... and they said it before he died, and no one talked stink about him, as often happens in the sports media business that is often cursed with over-inflated egos and petty professional jealousy.
His death today (on the job, by the way) is clearly a huge loss to baseball and football. And he will be missed by many sports fans in Hawaii.

Conlin's article:
http://www.philly.com/philly/hp/sports/42947122.html
QuoteI am certain that Rich Ashburn was lining up a putt on the 18th green of some perfect golf course, muttering over the cruel injustices of the only game to ever beat him when his best friend materialized, still wearing the windbreaker the broadcast crew was issued for raw, windy days.
"Hard to believe, Harry . . . "
"Believe, Whitey, believe . . . Hard to believe you were gone almost 12 years. And I missed you terribly, pal, every day of those years . . .
"Well, now we're back together. Think you've got nine holes in you?"
Stark:
Good luck keeping your eyes dry (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/story?columnist=stark_jayson&id=4066189).
Great stuff by Stark. I heard him on Mike & Mike today and he's absolutely right about not believing something happened until you heard Harry call it.
Being out of town a lot over the years, I would always wonder how Harry called certain plays while listening to some average broadcaster of an opposing team or on a national telecast.
When I moved back in '03, I loved the fact I would be able to hear him every night.

I can relate to this. Living out of the area from 1990-2000, I always wondered the same thing and I hated that I never got to hear him during that time, except if I was home for visiting or summers in college.
Last year, I had the privilege of hearing Harry a few times on EI - for the first time (before, it was alway the other team's crew) regularly since moving down to Florida back in 1993. During the intevening years, I would try to catch a game any time I was in the area, but it was few and far between. Harry WAS Phillies baseball.
I am 38 years old, and Harry has always been the lead announcer for the Phils since I first became a baseball fan in the late 1970s.
I can remember listening to Harry and Whitey on my grandpa's old chestnut-colored dial radio in his garage. It only got AM, and the station always had a lot of snow, but I was able to get the game. With Harry, you didn't need the picture on a television. His words painted a sharper picture than any modern HD televison can manage.
He's been there through everything baseball-wise - the wins and losses, highs and lows. From Steve Carlton and Mike Schmdit through Joe Cowley and Juan Bell through Cole Hamels and Ryan Howard.
I feel like I lost a member of my family.
RIP Harry.
In 1991 I was living in Kansas and I was grounded for a weekend. I was bored and trying to find something to waste away the time. So I'm in my room cataloging my baseball cards and listening to a Royals game. Obviously this was the days before nightly saturation of the game. ESPN Sunday night, the Braves and the Cubs were the only time I got to see the Phils.
So in one of my card boxes was a Phils program and I read it and at the end was the broadcast section and all the 1210 affiliates. I said what the farg and started playing with the radio.
I put it to 1210 and lo and behold I could hear a baseball game. Very faint, loaded with static but a game. I left it there and after about 20 minutes the static finally gave way enough to hear the calls. It was Harry! In Kansas!
I ran to the kitchen to get some tin-foil and I loaded the antenna up with it, opened my window and sat the radio on the ledge...and I was able to listen to the final 4 innings of the game.
I'll never forget that. It made me feel close to home and made me forget about being grounded.
So, you guys are all pretty gay for radio announcers huh? Weirdos.
He was a tv announcer too.
Hott.

What the heck are you talking about this time?
If Ryan Howard dies, I'm sure people will have a similar reaction. Maybe not quite as strong because Howard's been here 5 years as opposed to Harry's 38, but very similar.

The Kalas family and the Phillies have announced that a memorial tribute for Harry Kalas will be held at Citizens Bank Park on Saturday, April 18.
An opportunity to pay respects to the Hall of Fame broadcaster will be given on a first come, first served basis to as many fans as possible from 8:00 a.m. until 12:45 p.m. At that time, all fans in attendance will be directed to seats for an on-field tribute that will begin at 1:00 p.m.
Additional information will be made public as details are finalized.
Funeral services and burial will be private and held early next week.
Uniform Patches
Beginning tomorrow, players will wear HK uniform patches for the rest of the season. The black circular HK patch will be located on the front of the jersey in the area of the heart.
Friday Night
The Phillies return home on Friday night to play San Diego at 7:05. The Phillies will also pay tribute to Harry prior to the game. Fans are urged to arrive early. More details will be forthcoming.
what are the odds the eagles would do anything remotely close to this when merrell dies? im guessing a quick word before the first game after he dies (preseason counts) and maybe a plaque at the linc headhouse.

tonight's game is rained out
Blanton will go tomorrow, with Cole on Friday back home
nice...i was skipping tonights game because of the flyers
and now its only last channel on tv instead of last last channel
Damn...I wanted to watch the game tonight. Flyers and watching the Mets get stomped will be good though.
tv
t mac and wheels, 1-3
t mac and sarge, 4-6
t mac and wheels, 7-9
radio
franzke and la, 1-9
and this sucks.
farging awful.
franzke and la should be the new harry and whitey
yea they should. but that change def. wont happen until at least next year and most likely wont happen until wheels hangs it up. which will be never. believe it or not enough people like wheeler, so the reaction isnt 100% negative to him even though he is basically the worst announcer in the history of philadelphia.
yeah they arent bumping wheels...but this is a perfect transition time to work franzke into the tv rotation...have everyone do some radio and some tv
Is it true that LA was relegated to radio because he was too critical?
Wheels is locked in. TMac is terrible...I suppose I will look forward to the visiting announcers now.
Gimme Franzke and LA all day on TV.
wheels runs the show
his bff's were vuk and monty.
Harry memorial stuff:
-- TV broadcast booth will now be the "Harry Kalas Broadcast Booth" (Ashburn has the radio one)
-- Todd/Brad/Kane will throw out the first pitches
-- Kane will sing the national anthem
-- Harry's signature on the field and a black drape in front of the booths for all 7 games of the homestand
-- crowd will sing "High Hopes" during the 7th-inning stretch
-- CN broadcast will have no PBP in the top of the 1st
-- billboard on the outfield wall
-- HK patch on the chest of the uniforms the rest of the season
-- all HRs at CBP will have Harry saying "OUTTA HERE" on the PA system

High Hopes = just Friday

Somehow, I can't imagine the Eagles honoring someone like this.
Classy move by the Phils....all around the board.
What are you talking about? Once Spadaro dies I'm sure they will honor him by continuing to publish barely-legible drivel on their website.

I'd like to see it for good. 'High Hopes', sure it's a gay song but no gayer than Take me out to the Ballgame. Plus it would be different than the traditional 7th inning stretch which every team does. Love the 'Outta Here' after every homerun and would love to see that stick.
High Hopes = just Friday
OUTTA HERE = rest of this season

it's amazing how things change over time. how would you answer these questions say 5 or 6 years ago:
who will win a championship first, phillies or eagles?
which has better ownership, phillies or eagles?
which has better front office management, phillies or eagles?
which is the overall better organization to work, play and/or root for, phillies or eagles?
just a few short years ago, the overwhelming response from everyone would have been the eagles. now, i can't say that i would choose the eagles to answer even a single question.
Next question.

Blanton getting roped in 1st inning. 3-0 Nats.
There must be less than 10,000 people at this game.
Nationals uniforms are awful.
SP's getting raped in the early innings? Check.
Jimmy's ealy season struggles? Check
Leaving RISP? Check.
Yo..Lou Marson is 2-2 with a single and a double. Chooch and Coste are about to get Wally Pipped.
Blanton has really settled down...and they tacked on a run to make it 3-2, but Feliz dribbled out to the pitcher with a RISP last inning.
Come on, offense. You're facing Sharon Martis.

it's amazing how things change over time. how would you answer these questions say 5 or 6 years ago:
who will win a championship first, phillies or eagles?
which has better ownership, phillies or eagles?
which has better front office management, phillies or eagles?
which is the overall better organization to work, play and/or root for, phillies or eagles?
just a few short years ago, the overwhelming response from everyone would have been the eagles. now, i can't say that i would choose the eagles to answer even a single question.
No doubt.
What an awesome tribute.
And Durbin comes in and gives up a bomb to Willingham.
If Ibanez had more than a 2" vertical then he robs the HR...he barely missed it.
farging Durbin....
Holy shtein! Marson just made a helluva play!!
Hard slider that dives in the dirt at about 57 feet and in the LH box...Lou scoops it and guns out the dude at 2nd.
how old is that kid? 15? He looks like a baby.
Yeah, he looks young. I watche Jaramillo play today too...judging from the small sample size so far, looks like they made the right call on Marson.
Aaaand it looks like the Nats are gonna get in the win column.
At least the Mets are losing.
Dukes, the POS that he is, just unloaded on Taschner.
Why oh why was a LHP facing a righty?
Comeon Charlie. farg.
god you are not in good shape jassy. its april.
Motherfarging Charlie Manuel....all RHs coming up and he leaves Taschner in.
Dukes - yard
Gonzalez, who just hit his 2nd MLB HR, yard...
Over.
Because they mailed it in, Toddy.
7-2 now and Torchner is still in the game.
Asshats.
sometimes the 6th guy out the pen is gonna give up a bunch of runs. theyve won like four of five or whatever. calm down silly.

If anyone (Ed) has the Kalas tribute could you post it. Games on CN8 locally.

I turned the game on as Coste ht his double. Did they play "That balls outta here" on the PA?
if they did i didnt hear it
that's right Cole, "farg!"
what is ibanez doing..get on the base to give yourself at least a shot of tagging up...if the ball drops you get home easily
Phils up 7-1 after 4, now losing 8-7. Cole w/ 3 more HRs...
phils and flyers gagged at almost the exact same time...my last channel button told me so
awesome
Stupid call to send Dobbs. He was still in first gear as he rounded third. Stupid.
Replay confirms what a dumb ass move that was.
to many third base coaches in baseball go by the book and have in their mind before the ball is even hit that they are going to automatically send the runner in a close late inning game...and probably 95% of the time its the right call but you have to give yourself the option the other 5% of the situations that call to hold him
that play was one of theose times
Good, get this shtein out of your system now Lidge.
wow bases loaded no outs and gets out of it
Dawg K's 4 times. Miller time can't get here fast enough.
matty ballgame trying to do it again
no way he sees a fastball here
#1 how does he not have the green light 3-0
#2 that strike two call was beyond bad
choke one for harry
That was ball 4 but Stairs needs to swing at that 3-2 pitch.
I just realized who the home plate ump was. That a hole Diaz. He was terrible last year.
and the Mets just won. kick to the balls for Philly today. thanks Eagles
hard to implode when you dont play
thanks sixers
Sorry, I was out of town for the past week and just heard the news...about Kalas...but R.I.P. to Harry. I don't want to know what baseball is like without those types of announcers. Damn. It's a farging era that who knows if our children will ever understand or come to experience anymore. Radio is like a dying dinosaur.
That truly is a loss to baseball and for the masses. Sad.
The Phillies have allowed 23 home runs through the first nine games of the season, the most in major league history.
Quality shtein right there.
Last night was terrible. Way to follow up the lazy effort in Washington with a choke job yesterday!!
I'm still worried about King...he's gettin smoked, has lost some of his fastball zip and basically is using real starts as extended spring training.
Wake up, slackers.

actually theres really nothing you can rip them about these days...you can upset at an one play or game sure...but overall they won a title six months ago...did everything they could have in the offseason and have been flawless in celebrating a great thing (the ws) and a horrible thing (rip harry) to start this year
they have carte blanche to lose as many games as they want for the next few years
Igy speaks the truth. I never thought the day would come when the phils are the model for all teams in this town. The HK stuff today was amazing
my english in that post is amazing
game's on MLB Network for the out-of-towners. Ibanez just hit one opposite field
damn thanks easy....i was watching it on a horrible feed on the package....this is lovely hd...altho now i will mute the tv and listen to some beats while i watch because i cant take wheels...what innings does he not do tv
4-6. Sarge does those
how did they score their last run...i missed it
check espn pbp you fag
im not good at the internets and i like a real person perspective...where is j when you need him he would set it up by telling me what the previous three batters did leading up to the run...you on the other hand are worthless
now last two runs please
easy?

their pitching is unbelievably bad
i guess it kinda should be expected...last year was just magical...myers will never duplicate what he did in the last two months...nor will blanton...cole will never be healthy again...and moyer used all the gas in his tank...so many people like madson and lidge apicthed over their heads it was even funny...but thats what it takes to win a title and they did it...think about that rather than this year...i mean did you really think the marlins were going to go longer than 12 months without having more titles than the phils
Seeing the Yankees get blown out by Cleveland cheered me up until I saw the Mets won and that the Marlins are still playing out of their minds.
Watching this game today on my blackberry was excruciating. Watching the screen go from 5-5 2-0 count 2 outs to 8-5 was suicidal. Funny thing is I was picking up my wife at the Hospital visiting a friend when Lidge got worked. I was ready to check in after that.

AAA righty today. He'll probably dominate for 7 innings...
Lidge's streak was eventually going to end, but damn that was brutal. Time to shake off the Harry K stuff and start concentrating on winning baseball again...
manuel blew that. playing the infield back with a runner on 3rd and 1 out. moronic strategy. if choke is up like he should be they got a shot to get the runner at home.
but still lidge can blow 3000 saves if he wants. this season is a victory lap, calm down.
I can't buy that victory lap stuff...at least not while I'm watching it happen. They should have won the last two games...but Madson/Hamels got lit and then Lidge crumbled.

Knew it was only a matter of time, the location of his fastball has been horrible and his slider is lacking bite. I have confidence he'll get back on track but right now he's not good. Madson been equally brutal.

Ibanez has been very good. Other than the one farg up today, his defense hasn't been too bad.
Howard's defense has been stellar. He really did improve there. Two great diving stops today and the over the shoulder grab was great.
Way to pull one outta the ass today because they wee making Mr. AAA look good, like they always do.

no way burrell makes that catch...because he wouldnt have even entertained the thought of getting to the ball....it would have dropped in front of him for a single...as bad as burrell was in the outfield he did at least know his limitations

You all honestly think the Marlins will stay this hot?
Just as the Phillies won't stay this terrible, the Marlins will not stay this hot.

Out of 7 career starts, including this game, this will be the first time Bush gets a decision
Oh man, Billy Hall just made a helluva play.
They're gonna get no hit. In no-no's there is always great plays like that made.

incase of emergency, use stairs.
In case of emergecny, use Stairs.
Bomb off the foul pole. no-no and shutout gone.
They'll still lose though

14 games into the season and they've trailed at some point in all 14 and gave up a HR in all 14
they still haven't won a series at home either
Myers/Park/Moyer at the Marlins this weekend. Saturday's game is on MLB Network and Sunday's is on TBS for the out-of-towners
not to defend them because they have been atrocious... but they have only had three series at home...its not like they havent won a home game
didnt they just win the world series or something?

They all draw my ire, but doesn't it bother you when you're watching a Phillies game and every first inning they're down because the SP's give up bombs?
Or how about when they can't hit a lick?
That bothers me.
You sound like a Dodgers fan.
it slightly annoys me but i cant bring myself to get mad since they just won the world series. also its so early.
they have good team, this will get turned around. if its like this in july and theyre 20 out then we can start the hate patrol again.
it is early and yes there is time to turn it around but i would like to point out that the phillies had a winning record last year in april for the first time in forever. and they won the world series. coincidence?

QuoteAsked if he'd ever broken up a no-no before, Stairs said, "Yeah...in the first inning."
I saw on BBTN last night that the Phils have set a record for consecutive games with allowing a HR to begin the year.
Yay.
they will never a world series in citizens bank
Phreak, really?
You think the offense is going to be this silent all season? Stop, please. Think about what you are saying for a second.
Last season, there were swings of, "OMG, the pitching SUCKS!" to "OMG! this offense is WAY too inconsistent, they SUCK!"

Your blind hatred of lacrosse players is pretty entertaining. Did you get raped by one when you were little? Do you genuinely dislike the sport, or do you just prefer to watch fat men standing around scratching their balls?

Way to much going on. Phils on the desktop, Sixers on the TV, oh and trying to get some work done.
Matt Stairs is the fire starter for this team as of late. He seems to get things started/prevents embarrassment.
The offense, much like last year, is just inconsistent. Either everybody hits or nobody hits. That's fine as long as championships result, but it does get bothersome when 11 run games are followed by 1 run games and the like.

Anyone else not getting this on the MLBHD channel?
My Comcast says that I am not authorized to watch that channel. I called them and they said it shows the same message on their TVs, but its on the standard def MLB channel/
Howard crushed one to center
And then Park gives it back. And they play a little beanball too. I didn't see who the Fish hit, but Ho Chi plunked Maybin and when I turned back from the draft they were talking about warnings being issued.
Hey look...a Rollins base hit :o
motherfarger...
0 outs and they are loaded and Howard grounds into a DP...but he looked safe.
They get one run...still 4-3.

tell him charlie!
after the flyer debacle small consolation prize but ill take it
farg the Flyers.
Solid first day for the Eagles, Phils taking it to the Fish 2 days in a row (while playing wiht their heads both nights) and a Sixers win last night?
Its a good weekend if you can forget the messy shtein the Flyers' took on their own home ice today.
being eliminated from the playoffs in the fashion the flyers did is one million times more bad than an april baseball win is good
sixers win tomorrow night = good weekend
sixers lose tomorrow night = bad weekend
phillies dont even enter into the equation
The Sixers don't even rate as a team much less a Philly team. Want proof? 11,000 tops at the Wach.
People got more excited over Beermonkey's presence at Disney On Ice.

They had over 17,000 last night.
IGY, I know what you're saying but I am really just over it. I didn't expect them to crawl out of a 3-1 hole anymore than you did.
I agree with igy. In retrospect I wish the Flyers just got blown out in Game 5.
Up 3-0 at home and then laying down letting the Pens just rape you for the rest of the game is despicable. I'm gonna hear about this game for the next six months minimum every time I am out in Pittsburgh wearing my Philly gear.
Phillies taking two from the Marlins in comebacks is nice, but it's April baseball and they're the WFC anyway.
todays game had nothing to do with climbing out of that hole...i didnt expect them to win the series but once youre up 3-0 in the second period of a home elimination playoff game
and you lose it becomes completely unacceptable and sours the weekend unless (http://wuggawoo.com/images/aug-dec/avatars/snoop.gif) wins tomorrow
I am not saying that the Phillies game is making me forget about the Flyers.
But the combo of the first day of the draft, Sixers win last night AND the 2 Phils' wins....make it hurt a lot less.
Sixers win tomorrow and the Eagles have another good day and I'm even more over it.
are you really that happy about the eagles draft?
i have nothing bad to say about it but damn it doesnt even put a dent in the side of the flyers choke car
I'm happy they didn't draft Mr White fat Mormon OLman after trading up.
I'm happy they addressed 2 needs with high quality players.
I'm happy with it. Yes.
so uh.....how about that Lidge guy
Moyer vs a AA call-up lefty for the sweep at noon
has souderton ever lost in miami easy?
nope. never lost to the marlins until last year at CBP
So whats the deal with Lidge's location? He looks very beatable this year. That little midget Ross got a nice hanger and just missed it.
i actually thought lidge for the first time this year had really good stuff tonight but the marlins put some great at bats on him
He was off on his location, I thought. Ran a lot of deep counts.
I guess he made last year look so easy that this years "struggles" look worse than they are.
actually last year he had a lot of close calls
tonight he threw some balls no doubt but it was always in at bats where a marlin was fouling great pitches off to stay alive...watch his inning again if you still have it on dvr...his shtein was right
I'll go back and check it out. I saw some of his tight sliders, but the long counts bugged me.
Whats up with Rollins? He's a normal slow starter and he's got that long ass swing going again...he looks terrible at the plate right now
i dont even know what to say about him...hes the leadoff hitter version of choke this year...hopefully he turns it around next month...i mean it is still only april...but youre right when he doesnt have that compact swing where hes powering his hips thru then hes done...all poke grounders to ss or yoke pop ups
Quote from: ice grillin you on April 26, 2009, 02:20:42 AM
actually last year he had a lot of close calls
this. last year, lidge was perfect on paper but far from perfect on the field. there were quite a few games where he came in with a 2 or 3 run lead and gave up a dinger or a couple of hits before settling down and getting the final out. i really thought all of those close calls last year were going to bite him in the ass come playoff/world series time because he nearly blew a couple in the postseason as well.
he was money when absolutely need be though and that's really all that matters.
Lidge has been off on location this season so far. Can't say I didn't expect it - last year was so miraculousy good, he was due for a come-down of some sort.
I'd expect him to be around a 3.00 ERA when the season is over.
oh yeah, Lidge made you bite your nails 2 out of every 3 closes.
Even in the save that won the WS.
2/3 is being over dramatic. which is shocking coming from you.

Raul Ibanez has turned out to be a badass.
After Eyre decided to give up his ass to any Nat who wanted it, I thought it was over.
Now...can they please stop with the Cardiac Kids act?!
They won that game after pissing it away twice? lulz.
And Madson had to come on for the save.
Lidge has an inflamed knee, had an MRI today, and is listed as day to day.
ruh-roh.
And David Murphy of the DN said that he had an MRI a week ago too.
same knee he had surgery on twice the last two years. Charlie didn't sound worried though
and Jay.....check into some xanax :-D
:-D
Xanax and beers is probably what I'm gonna need with this pitching staff.
By the way...Tom McCarthy is horrible. Not like we didn't know that, but he was creaming himself when the Nats were going home run derby on the Phils.
I read on the Phils board that LA called it "just pathetic" and I'm stuck listening to McCarthy sound giddy.
good times people
nm
QuoteIbanez and first baseman Ryan Howard drove in eight of the team's 13 runs on a pair of grand slams, the first time two Phillies have hit bases-loaded home runs in a game since Sept. 9, 2003, when Tomas Perez and Jason Michaels did it against Atlanta.
:yay
I'll never forget driving home from the first game and listening to wip and 950, fans were crying over Burrell leaving. Now nobody gives a shtein, Ibanez is by far the team MVP up to this point.
its actually sickening how loved burrell became
fraudulant high school/college aged south jersey phillie fans
Ibanez will cool down soon enough, and those idiots will start whining again.

I don't have CN8 but how bad did it look?
Looked like he rolled it pretty good. :-\
Looked pretty bad when he first did it. Then I felt better when he pretty much hopped right up. Then he tried to throw a pitch... :-\
said after the game it looked worse than it was
anyone whose ever played basketball in their life has done that at least four times...hurts like a mother right when it happens...hurts worse the next day is usually completely gone within two weeks
yeah, there's been quite a few times where i've been playing ball during lunch or something and i'll roll my ankle, walk it off and keep playing. then i take my shoes off to hit the showers and it swells up so bad that i can't fit my foot back into my boots so i end up wearing one combat boot and one tennis shoe for the rest of the day. it makes me look sexy.

Never played basketball but from gymnastics, I know it well. Completely fine in 1-2 weeks. Blows up like a grapefruit, bruises, hurts like a bitch the first couple of days.
you've never played basketball? can't imagine why.
That douchebag Scott Olsen is mowing the Phils down. After Vic's early bomb, i thought they would tag him.
Myers is a little wild tonight too...finish these iceholes off and get the sweep.
Man, Choke can really move now.

Not unless I have your blessings, Todd.
jay you got whatever you want big guy. im just here to observe.
Thanks, buddy!
Jimmy just got picked. farg.
And Coste missed a slam by a foot. Then he hits a grounder that hugs the 3B line, Zimmer has to make a great play on it and he still beat Coste by 6 steps.
Olson still mowin' 'em down.
Phreak,
I for one enjoy your venting as I am right there with you. My neighbors think I'm a nut case screaming in my office at some dudes named Jimmy, Shane, farging Choke Dag, etc.
:-D
I scared the shtein out of my girl when Ibanez hit the slam on Monday. She thinks I'm nuts.
Aaaand, just like that its 2-1 Nats.
The last inning Olson got 3 outs on 5 pitches. Keep on hackin, iceholes!
Allow me,
VENT, VENT, VENT, VENT, VENT, VENT, VENT
How many pitches has Meyers thrown?
Meyers (sic) threw 109 pitches before exiting the game.

Given how the pitching has been god awful and all the distractions with HK's passing, I'd take an 11-9 start (especially considering all the games they've won late, it could be much worse). Would have liked a sweep of the Nats but if the Phillies dump on the Mets all is forgiven.
New York Times Article about how the Phillies can come back in games and the Mets can't
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/01/sports/baseball/01phillies.html?_r=1&hpw
my favorite part:
QuoteOne statistical measure of clutch hitting is how players do in close and late situations, which is defined as at-bats in the seventh inning or later when the score is tied, one team is ahead by a run or the tying run is on base, at the plate or on deck. Utley (.714, 2 homers), Ibanez (.583, 3 homers) and Matt Stairs (.500, 1 homer) currently have three of the top six averages in the N.L. in those situations. The Mets do not have anyone in the top 25.
Well with the Korean Misguided Missle on the mound they'll once again be playing from behind.
This yobo sucks. Sucks like kim chee.
farg Ho Chi Minh.
Way to come out playing ball tonight, slackers. I shouldn't even be shocked that they are ONCE AGAIN in a big icehole.
He is so farging bad. It could easily be 10-0.
Nice stop by Coste. Ball just took a zesty bounce as it got to the plate.
Thank god for Ibanez!
1-2-3 for Ho Chi Min? My god.
Dobbs is a retard
That's why Dobbs will always have a home on the bench.
The pitching is brutal.
Greg Dobbs has no brain.
lol Phillies, gag.
i havent read the papers yet today but if happ hasnt already been announced into the rotation he better be by the end of the weekend...what a blowhard loser park is
oooooooh i skipped the world baseball classic just because im so determined to start this year

1-0 phitins.
damn! ruiz swung at what looked like ball 4 and popped out to 2nd and left the bases loaded.
good inning though. phils mostly showed alot of patience at the plate (except feliz) and made perez throw a lot of pitches. he's gotta be around 32-34 pitches after 1 inning. :-D
i don't know who the hp ump is today but he's got a strikezone that's tighter than a 2 yr old. he's giving nothing on either corner.
Oliver Perez doesn't make it out of the 3rd.
and Moyer pulls a Dobbs

A few names off the top of my head, Adam Dunn, Manny Ramirez, Ryan Braun, munson
Blanton is dealing and pitching out of jams tonight against a good lineup. Hopefully this builds some confidence for him so he can have more consistent outings.
Howard tied Schmidt's franchise record for slams already (7)
Forget where I heard it from, but there was a hitch in his delivery. Dubee spotted it and worked with him this past week to correct it.
holy s*** Ankiel
Wheels is the biggest dumbfarg in the world: "I think he tripped on something". No he didn't retard, he was running full speed ahead while concentrating on catching the ball and didn't realize the wall was so close.
Yeah that was a pretty vicious collision. I did not like the way his neck was contorted to the side and how his legs just went limp. That was not a pretty sight. Hopefully he is OK.
He looked like Ricky Hatton

Howard with the granny to make it 6-1.
I still think he's going to kill someone one day. Who else hits the ball as hard?
A few names off the top of my head, Adam Dunn, Manny Ramirez, Ryan Braun, munson
I couldn't hit for shtein....I was always more of a defensive substitute/pinch runner.
Ankiel was a hell of a collision. Looked like he was able to move his arms. Hopefully nothing more than getting his bell rung a bit.

This is not surprising.

Well, at least he got the call. That shouldn't have been a catch.
did they give him credit for the catch? looks like he held onto the ball long enough. freddie answered that for me.
i didn't see it until this morning but man, that looks vicious. aaron rowand, eat your heart out.
the ankiel story is pretty awesome too. pitchers are often overlooked when it comes to natural athletic ability and for this guy to go through the crap he did back when he was a reliever and then come back a few years later, not only as an everyday centerfielder, but a damn good one at that is pretty freaking amazing. hopefully he's able to get back out on the field sooner rather than later.
Quote from: FastFreddie on May 05, 2009, 10:28:40 AM
Well, at least he got the call. That shouldn't have been a catch.
that absolutely should have been the call. once you secure the ball in your glove, it's an out even if you drop it during the transfer from glove to hand, which he clearly did. the ball was in his throwing hand when he hit the wall and didn't come out until he hit the ground.
the only time a player is required to "maintain possession" is when tagging out another player.
Josh Hamilton was a great pitcher too.
Quote from: FastFreddie on May 05, 2009, 10:28:40 AM
Well, at least he got the call. That shouldn't have been a catch.
I thought he had it plenty long enough to be called a catch. He had it in his glove, had switched to the throwing hand before hitting the wall, then dropped it. "Transition" doesn't really apply since there were no base runners, but he had definitely switched hands.
even with out the switiching of the ball to his hand its still a catch...for it to not be catch because of the wall you have to hit it immediately or simeultaneously

Only saw the first two innings and had to leave. What did he do now? I did see the highlights where he flung his bat after striking out when trying to go for the cycle.
he fell for the little league trick where you fake a pickoff attempt to third hoping the guy on first will come off the bag to far and wheel to get him out
then on a throw home with no chance to get the runner he completely threw it over the cut off man head allowing the batter to get to second base

1. Fell for the fake-to-third-throw-to-first pickoff move.
2. Airmailed a throw home when the runner didn't go. The throw allowed the hitter to advance to second.

So how bad is Ho Chi Minh gonna get smoked tonight?
lets just say my fantasy team is going to get a win out of this game and not a save
Nonsense.
Yohan is gonna get pimped tonight.
Tonights kind of win/win: Park sucks I can't see him making another start, he pitches well he gives them a chance to win.
Bottalico is on DNL at Citifield park. He said it's really dark, they showed some footage from it and it's a nice park but for the loot they spent on the place I'm kind of unimpressed.
The lower level infield concourse at CBP is dark as shtein as well. It's the nature of the beast.
Santana vs. Chan Ho?
This game may be comic gold. May as well sit back and enjoy the ride.
Is the weather that bad in NYC? Place does not look that crowded for the Phils being in town.

Werth's hesitation didn't help, either. I think a strong, quick throw gets Delgado. For some reason, Werth's really been struggling in the field tonight.
Of course, Feliz should have eaten that ball. Tatis was well beyond first base as the ball was skipping past. Horrible decision, worse throw.
Yeah Werth hesitated way too much, Feliz should have just held that ish.
That guy just fargin hustles all the time.

According to SNY, that was the first unearned run the Phils have allowed all season.
Bad time for it, but that's damned impressive.
Is that Feva prancing behind home plate? :D
No, he's the douchebag talking on his cell phone with two out in the bottom of the ninth.
Piss poor RISP + Feliz being stupid + Werth triple clutching a throw with old man Delgado running all the way from first = bums.
the sky is falling
Catch it, Todd.
at least cy young park pitched fairly well.
you mean chan ho eaton?
They wasted the only good start they're going to get from Park.

Moyer shouldn't be allowed to pitch against the Mets. Every hitter that came up had a .300 or better average against him.

At least they did nothing against the bullpen and everyone before K-Rod is suspect, but getting swept by the Mets sucks..
It really doesn't feel like a sweep when it's only two games. Besides, the Mets really have to catch up if they want to blow another massive division lead later on, right?
Moyer is done. Wheels tried to blame it on Angel Hernandez being behind the plate. Yeah, ok Wheels.
Feliz first pitch swinging down by two...dumb
Jimmy Rollins swinging at eye high fastballs and popping out TWICE when he should have walked instead...dumber
Carlos Ruiz...nice day at the plate, icehole.
Why is Miguel Cairo on this team?
The SP is straight trash.

Exactly. Actually had an argument with Don Jr. about that tonight. Little prick said "Hey, they lost the series. 1 game, 2 games, 3 games, whatever they lost." I'm taking his birthday gift back. But of course beating the Cardinals in two was a sweep.
Remember that time the Phillies won the World Series and the Mets choked away a seemingly insurmountable divisional lead for the second straight year?
Yeah, good times.

but i want 2-1 odds
ill put up $10 or $20 for your $20 or $40
In, and not because I'm confident in Moyer or that I think Park will suck (based off what I saw in spring training I thought Park might win 10-12 games), but because it'll give me something to root for and talk shtein when Moyer does pitch well.
I'll give you 2-1 odds.

I win: $10

2 for 9 w/risp
ish happens. i can deal with that from time to time. what really pisses me off is first pitch swinging, especially when you're down 2 runs in the bottom of the 9th and facing a pitcher you haven't seen all game. it never ever ever ceases to amaze me when professional ball players will step in the box against a reliever/closer just brought into the game and swing at the first pitch.
everyone slumps. i can tolerate that. but i just can't stand it when players literally give away at bats with first pitch swinging.
Lidge looks absolutely awful right now. It's incredible how the pitching staff has done a 180 since last year. It really does look like a lost season right now. There's still time but they need to get it together because sooner or later the Mets or the Braves are going to get shtein hot and leave them in the dust.
mets are already hot

Lidge is terrible in non-save situations. Even last year when he was ridiculous he still sucked when he wasn't closing a game out.
im up for a mets phillies bet if anyone is down
Come on over here IGY... they ALL float! When you come over here, you'll float too!
good article on Raaaaaaauuuuullllll on SI.com http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/joe_lemire/05/11/raul.ibanez/index.html
but this lil tidbit illustrates how bad the pitching has been:
QuoteAdd in the star-studded infield and the Phillies have scored the league's third-most runs -- welcome offense, considering Philadelphia is the only team in the majors not to win a game while scoring fewer than five runs.
theyve also lost games:
4-2
1-0
4-1
3-1
4-0
4-1
as bad as the pitching has been....the offense is as usual maddeningly inconsistent
getting shut out twice by division rivals in the first 30 games is awful

I have it - Phils feed, even. Makes me miss Harry. :'(
Incredible steal of home by Werth. Totally on the Sydney-Crosby-like throws by Russell Martin back to the pitcher.
All in tonight's game:
-- Werth steals 4 bases (first Phillie in 103 years to do it in a 9-inning game)
-- Werth steals home on a throw back to the pitcher
-- Feliz walked 4 times
-- Park has a quality start AND a win
-- Howard steals a base
-- Jennifer Love Hewitt was there
and Lidge allowed his usual run + 3 hits
Right now, Park has the 2nd lowest ERA (6.00) in the Phils' rotation. Myers is first (4.81). Hamels is 6.17, Blanton is 6.82 and Moyer is 7.26.
I'd better start warming my arm up. I may get the call any day now.
lol @ easy hating on lights out
the guy is clearly hurt and can blow 3000 games for the rest of time and would still never leave god status in this town.

dam thing hung up there for 7 days, it was fair for 6 1/2.
At least Ruiz is hitting the ball. 7-1 against the Dodgers is going to be tough to come back on.
worst part about this is that happ pitching probably means kendrick pitches one of the games saturday and ill be there to witness it
start drinking now!

Unreal. Fire Dubee, hire Moyer as PC.
lol phreak you are great
Dubee said Moyer isn't losing his job in the post game presser.
moyer will obviously get a longer leash than anyone else because of his tenure and the respect he garners but i cant imagine he makes it to the end of the year in the rotation
13.87 ERA in his last three starts.
happ IS pitching the night cap saturday
Unless they skip Moyer with the off day, it looks like Hamels is going to miss the Yankees series next weekend while the Phils get Burnett/Pettitte/Sabathia. awesome
Jimmy's back in the leadoff spot today. I guess a HR in a forgettable night means he's back to normal...

Yankees suck. Burnett has a 5-something ERA, Pettitte is almost like Moyer and Sabathia can be hit.
Jimmy's looking like he's about to come out of it these last few nights...leadoff double down the line today. Batting now with runners on 1st and 2nd...and he promptly pops out to 3rd.
Ruiz is stinging the ball.
Nice error Jimmy...now its 1-1. King almost worked out of a leadoff double....shtein
they were due....first unearned run by a starter all year....pretty amazing
Quote from: ice grillin you on May 14, 2009, 01:59:16 PM

that is pretty impressive. J roll's little pause of disgust looked as it almost allowed Blake to score.
it would be even more amazing if the starters hadnt already given up 27 thousand earned runs
Actually, the fact that they have given up that many runs and that none of them were unearned is really the remarkable thing.
Unfortunately I'm watching this on Dodger's Prime Ticket. Steve Lyons is nauseating. Second day in a row no Vin Scully. Yesterday got so bad I had to turn on mlb.com and listen to LA and Franzke.
oh dear.
Are you farging kidding me?
King almost got picked when Rollins K'd....but Martin threw it into RF. Ruiz goes to 3rd and its 1st and 3rd with 1 out for Vic. Vic strikes out and Hamels was caught off the base again!! Run down ensues and Ruiz is eventually caught between 3rd and home.
farging iceholes
Russell Martin should have stayed in bed this morning.
King's gonna get hung with a L because these shteinbags can't hit.
It seems like every day game they shtein the bed...whats their record over the past few years in home day games?
Stairs just missed one. If he pulls it, its gone. But a shot to CF falls into kemp's glove.
Aaaaand that was their only shot to win.
bad move Raul. Lucky as shtein they didn't get a run there but you know one's coming.
My bad, good job Madson.
OK, here we go 1-2-3 due up.

lidge is ridiculous
utley is also an absolute joke the last two weeks...both in the field and at the plate
hes got to be hurt, but obviously that god awful throw from chase helped nothing
more importantly madson got the hold and if he becomes the closer i will be untouchable with him, jenks and hella heath bell
fine i was being sarcastic....sort of
farg so wait a second.....does happ still get the start tomorrow
Lidge needs to be DL'd. His knee is keeping him from getting consistent footing, and his shoulder is flying open on some of his pitches. I'm worried that he'll hurt his arm if he keeps going like that. Knee probably needs scoped.
Igy, I can't believe Happ will be starting tomorrow after pitching tonight. Carrasco, anyone?
Happ looked damn good in that inning, though.

Can Kendrick do worse than the Moyer-Blanton-Park suckfecta?
Howard managed to not swing at a ball in the dirt. I'm impressed.
Never mind.
Alright: Credit for the walk. Good discipline, K-man.
obviously they are not stretching out happ again tomorrow
paging one pitch kendrick....please report to nationals park...look for the stadium with half phillie fans
got to make a roster move to get kendrick here. does happ have an option so they can send him down for a few days? or do they dl lidge?
they can send taschner down and use erye tomorrow if they need a lefty
Both Lidge and Utley are in trouble. It's painful to watch both of them right now. Toss in Jimmy's pathetic AB's too.
Choke obviously made up for it with the 3R shot, but his AB after being up 3-0 after Utley got plunked was horrible. Maybe his worst AB ever. Up 3-0 and you check swing? 3-1 and then hack at a slider. 3-2 and hack at another slider.
igy...can Kendrick be any worse than Moyer and Blanton right now?
Andrew Carpenter up
Useless ass Miguel Cairo DFA'd
Quote from: PhillyPhreak54 on May 16, 2009, 12:57:20 AM

absolutely
We'll never know...since you'll be taking in Andrew Carpenter, who has sucked in AAA.
But at least Cairo is gone. Maybe they will call up Mayberry after they send down Carpenter....
the 25th man on the roster really is irrelevant....with lidge and moyer done and the mets having shored up the back of their pen i dont see how the phils win the divison...perhaps a wild card depending on how the rest of the league shakes out
So you're calling it on May 16th...NL East goes to the Mets?
That team is gonna wilt again. I thought I read that JJ Putz has a bone spur in his elbow...will it hold up? He hasn't exactly been lights out in the 8th. Will Parnell keep it up? Will they have any arms left after Gangsta Jerry runs their asses into the ground? That manager is terrible.
im not calling it for sure....im just saying...phillies are minus lidge and moyer....a 41 for 41 guy and a 16 game winner and the mets have mad imporved their one weakness from last year....the back of their pen...that imo will be the difference...phils could win the wild card but mets are winnign the division
The Mets have no shot to win the division assuming the Phils starting pitching doesn't pitch with a 432.79 ERA for the rest of the season. Their offense isn't good enough to carry them with their poor starting pitching. Their bullpen is playing well, but it won't hold up the entire season. Plus K Rod chokes majorly in big games. Just like he did last year when he choked away that game to the Red Sox.
Assuming the Phils at least get their pitching to a respectable level, their offense is great, Romero will be back in the pen in about 25 games, and they have proven they will turn it on down the stretch when needed most. Plus and most importantly, they are a better team than the Mets on pretty much all levels. Including manager.
I got the Mets finishing 3rd behind the Phils and Marlins.
To summarize:

when igy pulls the its over, rival wins act, you know the season has really begun
I think he started around March 7th this year.
May is the new April
Lidge will get his shtein together, if he doesn't Madson can close.
After that 2-run single last night, Ibanez crushed 2 HRs already, including the 2nd deck in right-center. wow
Ibanez is a farging badass. 2 bombs and 4 RBI so far
pedro martinez is still out there and had a very solid showing in the wbc. have the phils even attempted to reach out to him? he's certainly not what he used to be but he's undoubtedly better than park/happ/kendrick or anyone else the phils choose to run out there as the 5th starter.
Lidge gets through a save situation without allowing a run, but Madson got hit around and gave up 3. Andrew Carpenter starts tonight...

Hot.
(Pretty sure I saw Sunny Sun there too although it could have been Matty.)
And evidently they called the game. Phils win 7-5.
What's wrong with Dobbs this year? .125, and he looked awful tonight.
My guess is not enough ABs...with Feliz swinging well and obviously the better choice defensively, its hard to sit him. Also, last year when Burrell would struggle Charlie could throw Dobbs in left for a game or two. Now with Ibanez tearing the cover off the ball, he can't play there.
Other than RF on occasion, and maybe giving Ruiz a day off here and there...there isn't many guys who you can sit.
Howard's bomb was one of the hardest hit I've seen in awhile. And Ibanez is amazing.
Carpenter was ok...a little wild on his control, but at least he didn't totally implode.

schmidt and boone were both intentionally walked 2x each.
schmidt had 2 hits, both home runs.
both starting pitchers recorded just one out before getting yanked.
phils had 15 lob and still went 10 - 26 w/risp
The dogs in the crowd in Cincy will be the second time the Phils have played a game on doggy night; they faced the Marlins earlier this year.
Where do they shtein? On the concourses? Whose the poor souls who draw pooper scooper duty? Or do they make fans scoop it up with plastic baggies? Can Chan Ho Park sit in the crowd with them and eat milkbones?

Great, so who is going to replace the other choking bungholes in the rotation?
The phrase 'choking bungholes' is making me giggle.
wtf shane? dumb move - again.
Come on Lidge...don't farg around
lights flickering
King threw 117 pitches in only 6 innings?
Yikes.
Nice win, though.
Has Lidge had a 1-2-3 inning yet this year?
It doesn't really feel like a 5-game winning streak when 4 of the wins are against the Nats.

It doesn't really feel like a good season when 1/3 of your wins are against the Nats.
1/3 of Florida's wins are against the Nats too but look where they are....
im not sure what that even means mr super sensitive phillie guy
yo lay off easy. he be in his lilly white suburb doin hard time you know
listenin to em as I roll with my windows slightly cracked to avoid disturbing the neighbors
What I meant was the Mets, Fish and Braves only play the Nats 18 times too. The Phils are in first because they're the best road team in the majors and they've been scoring 6+ a game without JRoll for most of the season while the Mets are hilarious to watch and the Fish can't beat anyone besides Washington...
Also, the Phillies are the defending World Series champions, and the Mets are a bunch of choking ass pirates.
Bums.

Moyer wasn't great, but much better than his past few starts. Werth should have caught the one hit that knocked in a run.
Bats were terrible. Other than Ibanez' one AB. Especially Werth. He just looked horrendous.

I took an infinite moratorium - well, more like a promise - on ever calling them the bums again. Once they actually won the WS that phrase went out the window. I'm sure in 5-10 years I'll forget all about it but for now they lose the tag. Not to mention they're still in 1st place. The city has many other worthy candidates as it is (in order)

Blanton sucks....and he may still get the win today
Good win today...Blanton was cruising until the 5th. First pitch strikes, working ahead and all that good stuff. Brandon Phillips pimped his shot...and I thought when Howard hit his he turned out to talk a little shtein...but they said he did it because he thought he hit Hanigan.
I like the Escalona dude...he's already better than Taschner.
I hope they DFA Taschner and call up Mayberry so he can DH this weekend.
Mayberry is hitting .280 in AAA with serious power and is pounding lefties. Why isn't he on the team as the RH bat off the bench?
Tomorrow's FOX game is pretty much national except Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana
saw a commercial for it last night......very nice. i'll be watching on my back patio by the pool.
Yankees announcers saying how CBP has helped Howard amass more HRs than A-Rod in their first 611 games is funny considering the farging launching pad that the new Yankee Stadium is.
Great outing by Myers tonight.
Ibanez is out of his farging mind.
Mayberry called up; Escalona sent down to LV.
I wish they would have gotten rid of that bum Taschner.

it's not that funny considering that a-rod has only played a handful of games in the new stadium. but it's hilarious considering that a-rod did get busted for using a banned ped.
I know that, but they were saying how much of a bandbox CBP is as balls are flying outta NYS like its LaGuardia.
That place makes CBP look like a pitchers park. Half the homers hit lastnight would have stopped at the warning track.
I actually thought most of the homers last night were legit. Ruiz HR probably would have been an out at another park, and I didn't see Jeter's, but the rest were hit pretty damn far. Ibanez/Werth/Arod's were long gone. Rollins' was about 10 rows deep so I'm pretty sure that would have been gone too.
Jeter's went into the bullpen. Ruiz's one is questionable because it was up and in on his hands and it landed in the first row.
Ibanez's dinger would have gone out of any stadium in the Majors. He hit it over the bullpen in right-center about 15 rows up.
Crushed.

Is that Todd peeking around the hot girl's ass to see the game?
hmm
Werth is in LF and will be batting 3rd
Ibanez is the DH and hitting 5th
Mayberry gets the start in RF and will be batting 8th
Why wouldn't they just leave Ibanez in LF and bat third, Werth DH bat 5th, and Mayberry in RF batting 8th?

i don't know if lidge is done or if he just needs time to get healthy, but like LBI said, not being able to throw your fastball for strikes is only going to lead to trouble and lidge's fastball today wasn't anywhere near the zone.....except the one a-roid hit out.
According to the post game press conferences it is going to be business as usual. They aren't putting Madson as closer and Lidge will continue to close games.
Hard to argue with a team that won the WS. They proved to be smarter than all. We'll see.

He looks to me like his knee is really bothing him. There just is no consistency in his follow through, which leads to an inconsistency in the placement of his pitches.
It wouldn't surprise me to see him get a few weeks off to get his knee scoped and some rest. Should have probably been done in March or April, IMO.

[Munson]Whatevs[/Munson] your reasoning, to suggest trading Lidge is crazy.
he should be done here.. can he bounce back? yeah, its probably just the knee messing with his mechanics. but when you have madson and romeros coming back.. and starting pitching and closing are your two bigest weaknesses lidge becomes expendable with the way he's playing. with lidge gone, its addition by subtraction and while trading him by himself obviously wouldn't net you a starter, its not a bad piece to put in a package. granted he was good last year, but he wasn't perfect.. you can agree he had some luck on his side. he was great in the playoffs, but again i think madson was better anyway. i think madsons ready to slide in and its time to trade lidge while you can still get something for him.
So after an amazing year last year where its obvious that something just isn't right, you wanna dump him? He should be done here?
How about DL'ing him if something is physically wrong with him or letting him work out his mechanical problems? You don't dump stud closers.
i don't want to dump him for nothing... but when getting rid of him can upgrade two needs you should pull the trigger. realistically the knee is going to bother him all year whether he's DL'd or not. he had a phenominal year last year that wont soon be forgotten but him duplicating that isn't likely. madson should be ready to slide in.. DL lidge and let madson do his thing and find a trade for lidge. don't dump him for nothing (which they wont anyway).. but having a bad stretch isn't going to diminish his trade value all that much.
Teixeira just hit a home run on a pitch that shattered his bat. :-D
This stadium is a f**king joke
i've never seen a broken bat HR go so far.
Getting rid of Lidge might be the stupidest idea I've ever read here. And considering reese, munson and king cole post here on the daily, that's saying something.
ok, and how confident are you with lidge coming in this game.. if it gets that far?
dude hasn't looked right all year. get something for him like the starter you need so bad now before his trade stock drops too far. his knee problem isn't going anywhere. if you put him on the DL madsons closing anyways.

And right now they wouldn't get much for him. Teams know his knee is bad and that he hasn't been effective. They would try to fleece the Phils. Are you looking for a #3? That isn't what the team needs - they have enough of those. They need at least a #2, and that isn't coming back for Lidge.
Someone (maybe here, maybe PSF boards, I can't remember) said that maybe he'll get DL stint when Romero comes back. I'd rather they bite the bullet now and get him right for the stretch, but that sounds about right.
you wouldn't be able to get a top of the rotation starter with just lidge anyway. you'll need to package him with somebody else. anyways here he comes now.. buckle up.
blown save #4
lol....
this guy needs to go away. dfa, dl, trade who cares.
maybe he can do what he didn't do yesterday and at least keep it tied.
Go away? No. He needs to get healthy.
They need to sit him down and figure out just wtf is wrong with him.
When Romero gets back, Madson at closer, JC as set up man.
Period.
right, in other words get off the field. he doesn't belong out there.
Why do I feel a wild pitch loss coming?

Quote from: LBIggle on May 24, 2009, 04:18:18 PM

I agree to a point. Right now, he isn't effective and is hurting the team. The Phils need to give him the time to heal. Last year, they did the knee procedure at the beginning of the year and brought him in a little into the season. This year, for some reason, they thought it wasn't as bad and tried to get him through the season without a procedure. It seems obvious to me that was a mistake, and it's showing in his pitches. He can't get consistent footing, which is making his location inconsistent (and getting his pitches up), and we're seeing the unfortunate results.
I say forget waiting for Romero. Lidge is trying to gut it out, but it's obvious that he's incapable of pitching in his current situation. Heck, Trash-ner is even more effective at this point. Get him the time he needs - get the scope and give him the 4-6 weeks he needs to get his legs back under him. The sooner, the better.
I agree with you Geo. They need a healthy Lidge for the late season/playoffs. Get him better now.

i don't think lbi is anti-lidge as much as he's pro-addressing other needs. his points are valid in the sense that madsen could close and romero could be the setup man, so moving lidge to add a quality starter would make sense. but there's a couple holes in that plan:
1. what exactly is lidge+prospect(s) going to get you in return that will undoubtedly improve the starting rotation?
2. the phils will still need another arm in the pen.
3. romero would be a great set up man if he's the same pitcher he was last year. he got 50 games for taking a banned substance so there's no way to know if he's going to be the same pitcher he was last year until he steps out on the field. if he was on ped's, then maybe he's not quite the same without them. and if that turns out to be the case, then it doesn't matter who the closer is if romero can't hold a lead in the 8th.

you can have a slump when its not directly costing your team wins. i'm not blaming it all on him.. the coaches also need to realize he's abysmal right now and do something about it.
1st and 2nd, no outs. yeah, this game is over. phils easily should have swept this series.
playing with fire right now. yeah they should've definitely swept this series.
wow.. wtf is up with ruiz? he's nuts right now.
way to pull that one out fellas. good road trip.
There's obviously something wrong with Lidge but the guy was dead perfect last year. When he's right he's one of if not the best closer in the game. You don't ship guys like that out just because they're in the middle of a rough patch.
And nice way to pull it out after the meltdown in the ninth. Two of three from those douchebags is fantastic. All in all a phenomenal road trip.
Quote from: Rome on May 24, 2009, 05:17:28 PM

perfect in save opportunities? yes. but game by game, the guy had a lot of close calls last year so he was hardly automatic. to his credit, he made the pitches when he had to so that's all that really counts, but i don't know how many times the guy came in and let the tying or go-ahead run get on base before he finally put the nail in the coffin.
and kudos to them for pulling it out today and saving lidge. should have been a sweep but 2-1 from the yanks ain't half bad.
i thought happ pitched well yesterday too. sucks he didn't get the win.
(http://blog.pennlive.com/patriotnewssports/2008/10/large_LIDGE.jpg)
Perfect.
Bitching about Lidge when his ERA is close to 10.00 is justified this late into the season. I don't care if he's perfect for the rest of the season, but for the love of god put him on the dl and let him heal up and get his shtein together. He's bad bad right now, not just bad.
Lidge was really good today. Just a lot of shtein luck. Gave up two hits that had no business being hits, then got out of the inning okay.
Manuel is going to continue to throw him out there and I'm good with it. He knows his players.
His slider was all over the place but the location of his fastball was better. Against the same hitters he faced yesterday they lose.
sarge is dead right.. he had a few close calls that he was bailed out of. the one i think of off the top of my head was victorinos strike from CF to home for the last out of the game i forget against who. now obviously his stats were perfect but they don't always tell the whole story as everyone knows. i'm not saying he's cooked or anything else.. i'm just saying he's not irreplacable. if your going to DL him or bench him or whatever and have madson close and romero set up.. then why not package him up and ship him out for a starter. they need one of those just as bad as they need batters to stop hitting over .300 against lidge.
I'd be thrilled to ship him to a team for a starter, but there's only a handful of teams that would take on his contract. And virtually no one is going to give up a #2 for him right now.
Teams aren't going to give up a quality starter for a closer with health issues. And the Phillies would be stupid to give up Lidge in any event. If he's hurt put him on the 15 day DL. Madson can close for a couple of weeks. But don't just cut him loose because he's had a few bad outings.

1. What are the other parts of the package?
2. What starter are you aiming for?
they don't have to give up anyone..
adam eaton is available.
but seriously speaking, pedro is still available and didn't look bad in the WBC. its late enough in the season where he probably won't wear down.
if not go after peavy.. he likes the NL.. and while he seems to like it in SD he might like the chance of playing for the champs.
and for peavy just about no ones untouchable.
if not then bedard or penny.
penny probably wouldn't require lidge in a deal. and any package deal would obviously depend on the team their trying to make a deal with.
They aren't going to trade Lidge, and if they trade for a starter it will be prospects. They'll probably go after Bedard.

Pedro is available without a trade.
Peavy isn't coming to Philly - and certainly not for Lidge alone.
Bedard is too young and still has #1 potential, so Lidge wouldn't get him.
I don't see the Red Sox trading Penny - they have starting pitching issues with injuries to Matsusaka and Lester being inconsistent at best.
So, you're losing Lidge, and most likely Carrasco... though teams may make a play for Drabek.

He's not right, that's obvious. But suggesting getting rid of him is crazy talk.
Carlos Ruiz has been on fire. I love that dude.
Going back to Lidge after reading the other comments on him. Yes he is not right and yes it is fine to bitch about him because he needs to get right. But to suggest trading him is crazy. You let him fix his shtein and watch him dominate; you do not throw him on the trash heap.
And Pedro Martinez? Please.
It's Memorial Day Weekend. Maybe all the shoobees on LBI have been keeping him up and the lack of sleep has made him delusional?
I dunno; but SD seemed to be in favor of dealing him too.
SD molests collies.
Lassssssie! Lassssssssie come homeeeeeee!
I lurve drinking allday
so they won 2/3 and had a good road trip. shut the farg up you whining bitches.
peavy ain't happening. he loves socal and wants to stay as close as possible. he's got a fntc
i really don't know why the phils haven't reached out to pedro. i said it a few pages back and there's virtually no risk in signing him. give him a one year deal and if he pitches well, then that's awesome. if he sucks it up, then the move has no long term effect.
not sure boston would trade for lidge either....unless there's something going on with paplebon i'm not aware of.
and for the record, i'm not in favor of trading lidge. at least not unless some blockbuster deal came across the table like peavy or halliday or some crazy ish like that. lidge needs to go on the dl, get better and then come back. with romero coming back in a week or so, the pen should be deep enough to hold things down for a couple of weeks. the big benefit to having lidge is that he helps keep madsen and romero fresh come sept/oct.
its memorial day. the phillies arent pulling the plug on moyer or blanton for a guy (pedro) that quite possibly will perform about the same.
moyer i get the feeling will eventually even out and come back to what he did the last few years. blanton is an average pitcher who might be having a below average year. hell even back out later on, but for now, that would be the spot to look to replace.
corrasco isnt pitching all that well in aaa, so yea, youd like to see them make a move by the deadline.
and even with the way ruiz is playing, id be open to trading marson if it can bring in a top notch guy like peavy, who you then sign long term. with the way ruiz calls a game and the defense he offers, a solid bat is just a huge plus. marson is one of the best catching prospects in baseball if not the top one, so you would figure he could be worth something
Moyer pitched well tonight but was jobbed on the missed 3rd strike call on that shteinbag Helms. Next pitch gets cranked for a 3-run shot by a guy who hasn't hit one all year.
Again the offense disappears at home, except for Choke.
And what in the farg is Vic thinking running in the 9th? Goddamn.
That non-strike on Helms pissed me off.
Jason Marquis? Please don't trade prospects for some run of the mill guy like Marquis.
This is from Ken Rosenthal.
QuotePhillies in search of starter
The Phillies' rotation appears to be stabilizing, but club officials still will be aggressive in their search for rotation help.
The team, which already has made an inquiry on Rockies right-hander Jason Marquis, plans to investigate every available option, recognizing that ace left-hander Cole Hamels is their only starter with electric stuff.
Financial flexibility might be less of an issue for the Phillies than it is for other clubs. While their payroll is a record $132 million, the Phils already have sold more than 3 million tickets. The club's entire nucleus is signed long-term, and the organization has prospects to spare for trades.
Excluding Peavy, who probably would not his waive his no-trade clause for the Phillies, Mariners left-hander Erik Bedard represents perhaps the most intriguing fit.
Bedard, unlike fellow M's lefty Jarrod Washburn, is a difference-maker. As a potential free agent, he would have every reason to be on his best behavior. But his prickly makeup could be an issue, particularly in Philadelphia.
Peavy wants to go to a National League team that has contended for several years and the Padres won't trade him to LA. If he won't waive his NTC to come to the Phils or Mets, I'd question what he really wants...
peavy is such a Hoyda
I thought Bedard was pretty great when he was coming up for the Orioles. Me still likey
I'd be thrilled with Bedard assuming he stays healthy. He has 1 stuff when he's on but is a 2.

Watch the game at McFaggans.
Eagles game starts at 1, Phils make up game is at 8:05. Problem solved.
So I set the DVR before I went to the gym and forgot to put it past 9pm. I got home and started watching it on DVR and it stopped right after Durbin got the first out. I come to the computer and see that it got realllly interesting. Was that Choke's first error on the year? Did he airmail a throw or something?
Blanton was deadly with his slider tonight.
Werth almost farged it up in the 8th with another dumb baserunning mistake. Lucky the throw back into second sucked or else Pete Happy doesn't drive him in.

why Did you capitalize 'Did'
Is there any way we can put a filter on 'MA'? I think it has been sufficiently beaten into the ground.

no Hanley and they're facing a righty that hasn't started in a year and a half. loss?
As usual the Phillies are making a guy who should be selling insurance for a living look like Cy Young.
2-0 Marlins, bottom of the fifth.
The wife-beater ain't pitching bad, though.
Choooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooch!
2-1 fishguts.
5-1
loss
Pathetic display.
oh my mathew
Howard swings at a ball two feet out of the strike zone to end the rally.
that pitch Howard swung at was headed for the third row :boom
iceholes
do they like losing home series?
Caring about baseball games in May!
Caring about lacrosse games at all!
Game, set, Todd.
What the hell is up with these jitbags at home? The Marlins come into town sputtering at a 9-24 clip after 11-1 to start and they take 2/3.
Ibanez has cooled a bit; his AB in the 1st was bad. Then all the RISP left out there was maddening.
Myers left with hip inflammation.
Nats come to town...the best medicine to help up the win totals.
QuoteScottLauber - MRI scheduled for Brett Myers tomorrow. He seems very nervous about it. Hip problem has been on-again, off-again for the past month.
farg. >:(
QuoteBrett Myers is nervous.
Myers left tonight's game against the Marlins in the sixth inning with what the Phillies are terming "right hip inflammation." But the pain, which Myers describes as a "sharp pinching that runs from my hip down to my knee sometimes," was more persistent tonight, especially when he pitches from the stretch. He's scheduled to undergo an MRI exam tomorrow, and minutes ago, Myers expressed concern that it may be something serious.
"Today was the worst it's been in the whole month," he said. "It was pretty bad out of the stretch. Sometimes it'll kind of give way. It's kind of hard to finish pitches when you don't have your back leg pushing off. Against the Yankees, I was feeling it, but it wasn't too bad. It was maybe once an inning. But tonight, it was every second or third pitch that it was bothering me. Hopefully, there's nothing serious with it, and there's some treatment I can do to get rid of it.
"For the past couple of years it's bothered me, but it hasn't been that bad. It was hard to put pressure on my back leg out of the stretch. It usually will come on one pitch and go away for a while. I felt it probably in the second inning in warm-ups, and it kind of went away. I felt it again in the third inning, and in the stretch, it got pretty bad. I was going to try to get through it and keep the ball down. But stuff started flattening out in the stretch. You've just got to try to power through it.
"I'm kind of nervous because I've never been hurt really bad. I don't really like needles either. It's when I put pressure on it out of the stretch or when I push off. More than anything, I feel it as my leg is following through. It was doing it probably every two, three pitches tonight, which it hadn't done in the past. It's kind of hard [to diagnose]. It's not like I can put my finger right on it, unless I feel it. You can tell the trainers anything you want. I've been doing exercises for a month trying to get rid of it. Tonight it was acting up.
"It usually happens every year about a month after we get into the season. I've always thought, 'Fine, it locked up one time. I'll get over it. Just keep pitching.' Tonight, it was doing it every couple pitches, and I knew something wasn't right. Today was definitely the worst it's been."
Keep this in mind: If Myers has to miss a start or go on the disabled list, Kyle Kendrick pitched tonight for Lehigh Valley. He allowed three runs on nine hits and didn't walk a batter in a victory at Buffalo, and for the season, he's 4-3 with a 4.25 ERA.
Some Charlie quotes...I like the one about him asking the fans to get on them...my boy Chuck.
Quote"You know when I came to that conclusion?" Manuel asked. "When we took over Yankee Stadium on Sunday. We did. [Phillies fans] were louder than [Yankee fans] were. We took over Yankee Stadium. We were talking about that on the bus coming home."
Quote"Of course, they love us and everything, but maybe they should get on (our players) a little bit,"
only in philly could the fans get criticized for booing to much and not enough
what is so hard to understand that fans arent going to be as tough after you win a title...its natural
not to mention the fans at philly games now are mostly johnny come lately 20 year old bandwagon girls from marlton and out of town college students
Brett's MRI revealed "jaggedness" ???

Awesome.
Edit: Official statement from the Phillies says an Xray last night showed possible bone spurs...seeking a 2nd opinion....."may miss his next start" hah
So now they need 2 starters.

3 if you dont trust happ....the odds of him pitching well enough to stay in the rotation the rest of the year are 50/50
just wonderful
Good news: they'll probably re-sign him on the cheap. I don't wanna lose him to the FA market.
As far as this season goes....sonofabitch. :boom
why would you not wanna lose myers....hes a hot headed slightly above 500 wife beating home run pitching machine...i mean if they brought him back so be it but if he left next year i dont think a single phillie fan would care and many would cheer it
Hot headed is good sometimes...I like guys who have some attitude. And besides that, when is the last time he's done something to be described as hot headed? When him and Charlie got into it last year in the dugout?
He is a good pitcher and in a day when pitching is an absolute premium you hold onto guys like Myers. He's a good #2/#3 guy to have..
every other time he gives up a homer or has a ball bounce not his way he loses it...look i dont really care either way...i just dont know how you can be worried about whether he stays or not..especially in may
kind of like i could give a shtein about durbin. icehole is farging up again.
Looks like Myers is done, Escalona called up (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4216460)
QuotePhillies team doctor Michael Ciccotti said Myers could return to mound to begin throwing 10 to 12 weeks after the operation and it would be another three to six weeks before the pitcher would be ready.
"We're pretty concerned about it, obviously," Amaro said. "We don't know how rehab will go but we have to operate under the assumption that he'll miss a significant amount of time, if not the rest of the season."
Said Myers: "I told [Kelly] I wanted to be back in September, but he said it's a long shot."

Penny? Meh. I don't think he'd be a good match with CBP.
I'm intriqued with Bedard, but I think Seattle wants a king's ransom, and I'm not sure his mental make-up is a good fit with Philly.
Oswalt would be a fantastic addition... 3 years ago. Today, I would be interested at the right price.
Peavy would be a great pick up, but he's not coming here.
At this point, the Phils probably need two starters. Even with a trade, there may be a call to Pedro.
Get me Bedard and Pedro
Amaro said yesterday that he won't be contacting Pedro and the immediate solution will come down to one of Carrasco, basticho, Carpenter, or Kendrick. I know what I'm getting with Kendrick and Carpenter and it's not good, so I'd rather roll the dice with CC and basticho, both of whom are very promising prospects.
They aren't getting two pitches because they aren't removing Moyer anytime soon and Happ has pitched well. I'd rather just let one of the kids pitch then trade a prospect for the likes of Brad Penny.
lol basticho
gotta love the filter
cant have four lefties in the rotation...basticho is out
Kendrick sucks and Carpenter is worse. I'd rather take my chances with AB* or Carrasco, even if AB is a lefty.
im saying its not an option because hes a lefty...ill eat a piece of my own poo poo if they put four lefties in one rotation....has there ever been a rotation with four lefties in the 130 years of pro baseball?....if there has id like to know how many times its happened
and hes not ready anyway...i wouldnt wanna take a chance on setting him back or wrecking him
go with chan ho till they can swing a deal
The Mariners are doing four lefties right now.
well there you go
actusally no they are not

Moved to bullpen. Four lefties.

funny tho if they bring rowland smith up after olsons start they actually will have four lefties
Quote from: ice grillin you on May 30, 2009, 01:03:16 PM

Most likely person to replace him is Ryan Rowland-Smith, another lefty.
Four lefties happens every once in a while, but mostly on zesty teams like recent vintages of the Royals and Pirates, and generally not for most of a season.
The '81 Yankees lost the WS with four lefties; might be the last time a really good team had that situation. A couple years later the Yankees had an all-lefty rotation and posted a winning season.
yeah i can see it happening on zesty teams who are looking at individual pitchers rather than the big picture of the team winning....but i wonder how many times an acvtual rotation has been set up that way like coming out of spring training with four lefties...or having a guy go down and trading for a fourth lefty in your rotation or having two equal options to go with and taking the lefty for the rest of the year
i think if basticho was a righty he wouldnt be the choice...the fact hes a lefty makes him not an option imo

If the options were truly equal I don't see why a team would go with a lefty over a righty if they already have three in their rotation.
The early 80s Yankees wanted to get righties into their rotation but couldn't. In '83 they came out of spring training knowing they had four lefties and went 20 games over .500 with lefties pitching 127 games, so it's not like it killed them. They were definitely a team looking to contend, not just try out guys. They kept sporadically putting in different right handers who sucked because of the aversion to having an all-lefty club.

I might agree with that, but with Lidge the mental part is so big. Get him some confidence and he might start pitching more like he did last year. I'm not expecting perfection, but this year has been as bad as last year was good.
I still think his knee will require some cleaning out before the all-star break.
i think it's more physical than mental myself. it's just that a less that 100% healthy lidge is still way too much for the nats lineup.
i'd still like to see him put on the 15 day dl to get himself right physically.

Father Time finally got his 250th.
And what's this about Jake Peavy evidently holding up a trade to Philly because of the ballpark dimensions? Does it really make a difference if you win a game 6-4 instead of 5-3 because that's really what this amounts to. If he's as good as everyone says he is then the ballpark dimensions shouldn't matter.

Quote
On Baseball: For Phillies, hurdles to a Peavy deal
By Jim Salisbury
Inquirer Baseball Columnist
Even before Brett Myers limped off the mound Wednesday night, the Phillies were looking to improve their starting pitching rotation.
Myers' hip injury, which will require surgery and likely end his season, makes the search for pitching more urgent, and the need to improve it more imperative.
Jake Peavy, the National League Cy Young Award winner in 2007, is the people's choice. It's no secret that the San Diego Padres are trying to unload their high-priced ace.
The Phillies have been in contact with the Padres, but team insiders say it's a long shot that a deal would be struck between the two clubs. The $63 million remaining on Peavy's contract is a big hurdle. About $8 million of that is due over the rest of this season, and the Phils' payroll is already $133 million, up $30 million from last year's World Series championship season.
Peavy's no-trade clause is another hurdle. The 28-year-old righthander would like to stay in the NL, with a contender, but staying closer to the West Coast seems to be his preference.
There are other impediments to the Phillies' landing Peavy. The Padres are likely to ask for catcher Lou Marson and pitcher J.A. Happ in the deal.
The Phils might listen on Marson, but Happ is cheap and under control for five more years - there's great value in that - and the Phils need him in their rotation now.
There is something else that would likely thwart the Phillies' pursuit of Peavy:
Citizens Bank Park.
Peavy is a critic of the place. We've heard it - firsthand.
In August 2007, during Barry Bonds' quest to break Hank Aaron's all-time home run record, this scribe participated in an interview with Peavy at San Diego's Petco Park. Peavy spoke of how Bonds would have to really hit the ball to get it out of Petco Park, and how that stadium differed from so many of the bandboxes that had sprung up around the league.
Here's what Peavy said:
"You won't hit cheap home runs here, but if you square it up, it will go," he said. "If you hit a home run here, you have hit a home run, and that's the way it should be.
"Hitters will say this is a terrible place. They think it's a graveyard. But it's fair."
Peavy then launched into an entertaining rant about the dimensions of some other more hitter-friendly parks in the NL.
"Arizona, Colorado," he said. "Are you kidding me? Cincinnati. Look at the parks in the Central [Division]. Houston. You stand in the outfield shagging and you feel like you're at deep short."
Then Peavy moved eastward.
"That new Philadelphia park might be the worst in baseball," he said. "Look at Shane Victorino. I love Vic to death. He's a great baseball player. He's got 11 or 12 homers [already]. He's not a 20-homer guy."
Victorino finished with 12 homers that season - six at home.
Again, Peavy made these comments two years ago. He has never officially said he would not come to Philadelphia. But judging from those words, it doesn't sound like a place he'd want to be.
So whom might the Phils pursue to pick up Myers' innings? Here are some ideas:
In-house candidates
Kyle Kendrick - He's got experience on his side, but has he learned to keep the ball down enough to earn another shot?
Carlos Carrasco - The growing pains he has experienced at triple A say he is not ready, but he has major-league-quality stuff.
Drew Carpenter - The steady righthander won't wow you with his stuff, but he has good "pitch-ability"' and won't be intimidated.
Antonio basticho - The lefty, who will start for the Phillies on Tuesday, has racked up big strikeout totals at double A and triple A, but he's essentially a two-pitch guy (fastball, change-up) who needs to throw his breaking ball for strikes. His best fit ultimately might be in the bullpen. Opposing teams have asked about him.
Rodrigo Lopez - The veteran righthander knows his way around a big-league game.
Kyle Drabek - It might sound crazy to pluck him out of the Florida State League, but he's got some of the best pure stuff in the system and enough toughness to deserve to be mentioned.
Free agents
Pedro Martinez - A five-inning pitcher, he could wear out a bullpen. He's been out there for months and the Phils have shown no real interest. Citizens Bank Park could be a bad fit.
Ben Sheets - He's recovering from elbow surgery, but seems ticketed for Texas.
Aiming-high trade possibilities:
Peavy - He would give the team a co-ace with Cole Hamels, but he can call his own shots and doesn't appear to want to pitch in Philadelphia. The Cubs or Dodgers might be better fits.
Roy Oswalt - He's a great competitor who has been a tremendous pitcher for many years. But he turns 32 in August, his ERA has been trending upward, and scouts say his stuff, while still good, isn't as dominant as it once was. He is owed about $47 million, $9 million of that to come this season. Could the Phils afford that? Would GM Ed Wade do business with the Phillies again after Brad Lidge helped them win a World Series? The cost would be significant and might start with Marson and a top pitching prospect like Houston native Drabek. He's untouchable. So is outfielder Dominic Brown, the best position player in the system.
Roy Halladay - A true No. 1. He can be a free agent after 2010. The Jays are in the race. It's way too early for them to consider moving such a good pitcher. Later in the season, maybe, but the cost would (and should) be huge.
Brandon Webb - Reasonably priced at $8.5 million for next season. His power sinker would look good in Philly. But he's out until July with a strained shoulder. Could be worth watching around July 31 if he comes back healthy, but D'backs won't give him away.
Cliff Lee - The defending AL Cy Young winner is signed at a reasonable price through 2010. The Indians think they can get back in the AL Central race, but if they don't they might listen on Lee - if they are blown away.
More-realistic trade possibilities:
Erik Bedard - The Seattle lefty has a reputation of being a poor clubhouse presence, but talent rules and the Phillies like him. He can be a free agent at the end of the season. Seattle would look for a big prospect grab after getting fleeced by Baltimore for Bedard. Watch this guy.
Brad Penny - Boston would move him, but is top infield prospect Jason Donald too high a price?
Aaron Harang - His name has been thrown around, but the Reds are in contention and need to keep him to stay there.
Jason Marquis - A hot name, but the Rockies and Phillies have never had an easy time making deals. If they could come together, Marquis would make some sense. He's owed about $6 million for the remainder of the season and would give the team innings. Colorado might have some interest in Kendrick.
Chris Young - Be careful, much of his success has come in San Diego's spacious home park.
Bartolo Colon - The White Sox tried to get Peavy. Some scouts believe they could dangle Colon if they land a pitcher.
Doug Davis - Arizona would listen on the 33-year-old lefty.
Jon Garland - He'd rack up some innings, but Arizona won't give him away.
Zach Duke - Some scouts say the Pirates will make the lefty available.
Quote from: Rome on May 31, 2009, 05:12:11 PM
Does it really make a difference if you win a game 6-4 instead of 5-3 because that's really what this amounts to.
It matters if you care about stats other than winning the game (and how those stats might translate into money as a free agent). Also if you are psychologically bothered by batters hitting homers off you.
Those aren't concerns that you'd
want a pitcher to have, but it's safe to assume that some pitchers do indeed have those concerns.
peavy's home and road splits are damning. he's basically a soft-batch bitch who doesn't want any pressure and wants to play in a big yard to relieve him of actually having to pitch

As far as the game, I just caught the tail end of the top of the 3rd...Phils scored twice, but left the bases loaded.
havent you learned by now not to get involved with sub human northeast trash?
Bums should have killed the Padres tonight. Still a good showing.
Sure looked like Rollins pushed him off the bag but hey............
Just watched the highlights. I think there were more Phillies fans there than Padres fans. And Howard's bomb was ridiculous. Dude's heating up just at the right time. Nice outing from Blanton too.
yeah there were so many phillie fans there is was insane...they were loud as farg too
phillies definitely got a gift with that rollins call

I can only hope he rips off your head and shteins down your throat.
Great effort by basticho. Has a funky delivery, but hard stuff.
Looks like Ho got pimped again.
As tremendous a pickup as Ibanez has been, Park has been as big a disaster. God, he's awful.
And Bastrado has some skills, no doubt. He looked pretty impressive last night - although the Padres are fairly inept at the plate as a whole.

i didnt realize he was 37.

He was gonna retire last year too, until the Phils called when Chicago sent him packing.
They get Romero back today and have to make a move. I hope they send Taschner down and leave Escalona up.
Next week they can DFA Park and get a RH bat off the bench.

As Victorino offered a convoluted mea culpa for trying to steal second two runs down in the ninth inning during a recent homestand, Matt Stairs walked by and said - with a smirk - "Dumb ass."

Happ looking good again so far. :yay
happ's line:
7IP, 4H, 2BB, 4K, 0ER

Happ looked awesome.
Great seeing JC out there.

No other team has lost fewer than 12 games on the road. The Phils are 19-6.
The Phils@Dodgers series features the two teams with the highest winning pct. in baseball. The Dodgers are 20-6 at home, so something has to give.
are these west coast games killing anyone else?
im so friggin tired
nah, they're finishing up right around my bed time.
ass
So Victorino left the game with a hip strain last night. He's going to be examined in LA today. I hope it's nothing serious....because with the way Rollins is (not) swinging, they need the spark at the top of the line-up. He's been hitting well lately.
If he goes out for awhile, we are looking at Werth in CF and a platoon of Dobbs/Stairs/Bruntlett in RF unless they recall Mayberry.
What's up with hips on this squad? Utley, Myers and now Vic.
Hips and oblique strains are the new chic injuries in baseball.

Article said that gun was probably wrong and that he was hittin 95 on another gun. Still impressive, he's got #1 potential. I think Carrasco has moved from #1 pitching prospect in the minors to #3 behind Drabek and basticho.
not bad for a guy coming back from Tommy John, and someone that the scouts thought had more potential at SS
its weird to me how someone can throw 95-99 and only strike out four at the AA level
and before you freaks flip and and say that im hating im not...i think he can be a frontline pitcher and i fully expect him to strikeout 11 his next start but that immediately jumped out at me when i saw the box score last night
if he pitches when reading comes down to bowie in a couple weeks im gonna go see him
4so's and 3 walks isnt impressive, but 7 innings is pretty damn good. What ever happened to Scott Mathieson? He was the next billy wagner until his elbow blew out according to baseball nerds
Pretty sure you just answered your own question.
he had another tommy john and i believe is out again for this whole season

Velocity isn't everything, I'd rather throw 90-92 and have great movement on my fastball.
I'd rather you did that too.

in double a it normally is...you can throw 95-99 on a tee in AA and get more than four strikeouts...and he will
not to mention when you throw that hard it makes your off speed stuff that much nastier...at least it should
i suspect he was throwing well below 95 last night
how can you throw something on a tee? are you throwing the whole tee with the ball? if so, i would think that is much more distracting than just a ball coming at you, and i doubt you can throw a tee 95 mph.
how about you throw yourself on a sharp stake

cole's dealing.. rollins probably shouldn't be leading off right now, and definitely shouldn't when victorino gets back.
howard forgot to run home.

Werth's bat seems to be coming back.
yes, that is a good sign.. now they can use him to protect howard with a righty.. or to move him up so they can drop rollins until he finds his swing (hopefully soon).
looks like cole is going for the complete game shut out.
Cole's dealin.
Good to see Jimmy's still got warning track power.
CGSHO at Dodger Stadium in under 100 pitches :yay
no HR's.. man this offense is in a slump.
but seriously.. 4 games up.. keep on rollin on the road boys.
great game by king. 90some pitches in 9 innings. dude was absolutely dealing.
this is the first time i've ever heard vin scully call a game. i've heard playbacks of individual calls before, but never heard anything more and the guy is amazing. the dodgers do the broadcast right too because it's all vin, all the time. no color guy, no analyst. so all of his commentary is directed straight to the viewer. it made the game even more enjoyable.
How true. Scully is amazing. He tells it like it is and is a wealth of knowledge. The Dodgers at one time had one of the best crews ever with Scully, Rick Monday and Jerry Daggett. They were so far from being homers you had no idea who they were the announcers for. I guess Scully doesn't travel much if it all with the team as we had those two other clowns on Fox Sports West when the Dodgers were in Philadelphia last month. Steve Lyons was one of them and he is just pure awful. I assume Charlie Steiner is just doing radio for the Dodgers?
Hamels just continues to show that when he's physically right he's the best starting pitcher in baseball. If he ever finds a way to stay healthy and on his game, he'll be a perennial 20 game winner.
And Scully is great. It's a pleasure to listen to someone just call the game rather than hearing non-stop bullshtein that has nothing to do with the game being played on the field.
White people are so lame.
I hate them, they all smell like American Eagle and Cool Ranch Doritos
And Parliament Lights.
I've also heard the opposite on Scully, that he rambles on and on and should've retired years ago. I remember him from NBC Saturday Game of the Week and the World Series with Joe Garagiola and thought those two were pretty good. Haven't heard a lot of Vin lately though, and yeah he doesn't do road games anymore...

first loss due to victorinos injury coming up right here
moyer pitched a beautifully ugly game. typical effective junk. he was dealing tonight. rollins is struggling something fierce.
things i've learned from vin scully tonight:
- jamie moyer's college coach at st joe's was his science professor.
- moyer is married to digger phelps' daughter.
- ibanez came to the us as a fetus and was born in manhattan.
- rollins and werth both own a hyperbalic chamber.
- werth comes from a very athletic family. his mom was a 100m olympic runner, his dad played football at illinois
and his step dad and uncle were both major leaguers.
- howard played the trombone in his hs band and his grandfather played against willie mays.
- bruntlett got 1460 on his sat and recieved his bachelors in economics in 3 1/2 yrs from stanford.

really?....cause that nugget is on some jerome bettis is from detroit shtein
i didn't know it. of course, i'm sure most of that info has been peppered in and out of various phils games over the years, most of which i don't get to see.
the point i was kind of getting at is that since scully doesn't have to carry on a conversation with or give up air time to another broadcaster, it gives him plenty of space to fill with all the important information that's been missing from my life.
i think even the phillies announcers mention it every night
there are some gems on your list tonight from scully tho
hes something else and hes farging 82!
farg you dobbs
very rarely do i ever get the phils broadcasts though. usually only if i'm back in the area, but even then i'll try and go to a game instead which means i don't hear any commentary.
i'd have preferred to see stairs ph first. then either the dodgers have to pitch to him or they put him on intentionally and load the bases with 1 out.
rollins needs a slump buster. i'm going to text him chuggie's mom's address. he can be in and out by midnight.
well i was saying EVEN the phils announcers talk about it all the time...its a guarantee that road announcers are going to talk about it...its their go to filler material during every phils game that he pitches...i thought you had the package
i think stairs was getting walked no matter what there...so it didnt really matter who batted when...charlie was probably thinking if dobbs walks then they have to pitch to stairs
this move having romero in is pretty gutsy by charlie...i understand jc vs lefties but madson is the best set up man in baseball and you go with a guy coming off a 50 game suspension here
nah, i've never had the mlb package on tv and this crappy california economy along with the ladyfriend being cut back to roughly 20 hrs a week at her job has really forced another tightening of the belt over the last couple months so even the mlb.com package is out of the question right now.
and dobbs then stairs or stairs then dobbs is really just a coin flip. not really calling charlie out on it, but flipping them around would have been my preference.
howard vs broxton (lifetime): 0-7, 5k
this appearance will show if lidge is truly back
what a great back door slider that was
come on you farging jerk off
are you kidding me...of all people pete happy...and why the hell is he throwing it with a guy rounding third
lidge is a farging POS
lol
feliz didnt help but lidge went single, walk, sharp grounder, double after 2 outs. farg him.
So I get in from the airport, go buy a hoagie and come home in time to see the 9th. Way to get after it, Feliz...you farg.
good.. now those iceholes know they can't just show up and win.
rollins is an ass.
bruntlett is an ass.
feliz is an ass.
wtf was that jumping, flying icehole move ibanez.. yeah your an ass too.
farg you and your farging mole too, lidge.
come back victorino.. thanks.
one bad half inning and out comes the anger. even after seven straight wins. really?
Scully is the farging man.
On Saturday, June 3, 1989, Scully was doing the play-by-play for the NBC Game of the Week in St. Louis, where the Cardinals beat the Chicago Cubs in 10 innings. Meanwhile, Dodgers were playing a series in Houston and Scully flew to Houston to be on hand to call the Sunday game of the series. However, the Saturday night game between the teams was going into extra innings when Scully arrived at Houston, so he went to the Astrodome instead of his hotel. He picked up the play-by-play, helping to relieve the other Dodger announcers, who were doing both television and radio, and broadcast the final 13 innings (after already calling 10 innings in St. Louis), as the game went 22 innings. He broadcast 23 innings in one day in two different cities.- wikipedia
Rollins and Lidge do need to get their shtein together at some point if this team is going to defend, but that can wait until after early June.
Another ugly outing from Lidge. They should have been out of it, though, if Fay-lease does his job.
Meh.
And I hate West Coast games. HATE.
it's easy to pin that game on lidge and feliz but i'm not going to. yeah, feliz booted a routine grounder but the phils had plenty of opportunities to tack a few extra runs on the board throughout the game and didn't. they were horrible w/risp from start to finish. rollins better pull his head out of his ass with the quickness. this was a team loss.
way to blow a very good outting by moyer. dicks.
oh, and as far as ibanez's kind of fruity looking swan jump on that fly ball at the wall, there is about a foot and a half of padding that sticks out towards the bottom of the wall and it looked to me like that's what threw him off. i think he knew it was there but since he's a career american leaguer, he probably doesn't have any, or much experience playing in dodger stadium and it looked like he had to take his eye of the ball for a split second so that he could locate that padding. otherwise, if he's just running full speed and doesn't see it, he's going to go into that thing right around his shins and probably would have ended up going face first into the wall.
I don't know if this can be pinned on Lidge, even though he had three straight guys 1-2.
The Blake hit was one where he threw his bat at the ball and dumped it into the OF. Then he walked a guy, which is a problem. But when he gets a routine grounder to one of the better defensive 3B in the game, he has to make that play.
Come out today and keep up the good SP and knock Kuroda around and it'll be all good.
Rollins has been putrid. Come on, Jimmy...pick your shtein up, cuz.
was watching the game at the bar last night, when rollins came up with the bases loaded scully goes "two things happen here with rollins at bat, he can't hit worth a lick, but on the other hand he's due."
Lidge could have picked up Feliz but instead he threw a meatball down the middle and Ethier crushed it.
It's on Lidge.
4 tries to get the last out.
and rome's right.. he threw a farging beachball right down the middle to ethier.
its not all on him.. but he's the closer. you get the job done. simple as that.
rollins is putrid.. he shouldn't see the top of the lineup again until he proves he can hit.
Last year Furcal's wallscraper would have been caught by Werth.
Lidge used up two years' worth of luck last year, and has none this year. Snakebit.
Those laid-back Dodger fans sure hate Victorino. :-D
he aint snakebit he just hurt. or worse. time to pull the plug.
he can ride the bench next to rollins.
he's done. injury.. luck.. inability to pitch against anybody but the nationals, who cares.. he should be done costing this team wins.
the offense isn't clicking on all cylinders like it was right now.. it needs the pitching to pick it up and everyone has except farging moley.
im not sure who you are but im pretty sure all this pent up anger about a first place team that won the world series last year isnt really healthy
If Lidge can bounce back from this it will be just short of a miracle. No one has any confidence in him right now. Safe to say none of us felt good when he took the mound last night and tonight with a one run lead. The saves he had against the Nats and a struggling Padre team didn't show us much.
im not sure how u tell the tone of a typed message, but ok. its not anger.. just frustration of watching the same thing night in and night out already knowing the outcome. lidge isn't lidge of last year and something needs to be done about it. yeah they won the series last year. yeah their in first place. neither will be the case at the end of the year if their closer situation isn't taken care of and their leadoff hitter can't figure out that popups are bad. lidge is obviously the bigger problem because he's directly costing this team wins.
rollins' career numbers indicate he will turn it around. he probably should be dropped in the order but hes the shortstop, for better or for worse.
lidge yea, either dl or hes off to middle relief. something aint right with him.
but the nl east title is more or less locked up. the mets are a total joke and the braves and marlins cant compete even with a depleted phils squad. so chill there buddy.
Damn, down a remote.,
just great.
Yes, it is frustration. Bums should be up 3-0 in this series. If the Dodgers were beating the living daylights out of them, ok we can deal with it. Two days in a row of watching Lidge implode is beyond frustrating. Phils need to address this immediately.
I still love the half empty stadium on a Saturday afternoon with 2 of the best teams in the National League. My hatred for Dodgers fans is rapidly equalling that of my hatred for Lakers fans.
Thank god it's only June 6.
Quote from: MDS on June 06, 2009, 07:28:28 PM
he aint snakebit he just hurt. or worse. time to pull the plug.
I still think his knee is the main problem. It's keeping him from being consistent in his delivery, and he's been getting his pitches up.
But last night and tonight was some bad luck for him. Feliz' error (from a usually sure-handed third baseman), and Werth being this close to catching that homer from Furcal.
I would still put him on the DL to give the knee some rest. But what do I know?
I don't even know what to think. What a terrible game.
"Last year's last year and this year's this year," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "He's got the same stuff he had last year, but that's baseball. Right when you think you've got this game whipped, it can jump right up and bite you. But he'll always be my guy. If you do something else with him, I think that could hurt his confidence."
Charlie usually don't lie so Lidge it is. Hard to turn on the guy but the results are putrid.
lol at all you fools trying to defend lidge after last night...cept romey who was spot on it...lidge is a pos disgrace and needs to not be on the roster
7th eyre/madson
8th ceasar
9th madson
thanks for last year bradley but youre finito
A POS disgrace?!
So the guy is struggling a year after being perfect and helping to deliver the WFC...and now he's a POS disgrace?
Exhibit A of Philadelphia sports fans turning on players (IGY and much of the phillies MB for their remarks)
guess you havent watched the phils this year yet....theres no reasoning or validation to have him in the closer role right now...he is pathetic and needs to earn his way back in...its not like we are in the second week of the season.....the guy has been the hindenberg for 3 months now...its time to go
harsh words from the mets fan but in no way shape or form should lidge be closing. he goes to middle relief and madson closes. he wants the job back he needs to win it back.
He'd be terrible in middle relief right now too.
He needs to go on the DL, plain and simple.
lololololol at hating on lidge. calling him a pos and saying he's done is rediculous. his problem right now is location which is obviously being affected by his knee. because it's not like his slider has lost movement or his cutter doesn't tail in on hitters. the movement is still there and if cholly would just dl him for a couple weeks then he may actually start being more effective.
There's no reason for him to be pitching right now. Romero pitches the eight and Madson closes. Enough is enough until he gets himself straightened out.
basticho is pitching for you guys today. That's awesome. Maybe Pinche and Puto will pitch for you guys next week as well.

Rollins back in the lineup tonight, hitting 6th
Well they used to have a Punto; does that count?
As for Lidge...what is he going to go on the DL with? Is he hurt? If the Phils put him there without being hurt and he objects then its a problem.
He will be ok, I think. Its still early and even though he has single handedly (with an assist from Feliz) cost them two games in the standings and their win streak, he is a premier closer still.
i dont think id call june early
we are 1/3 of the way into the season
people were destroying choke one month into last year...now we are over 3 months...its not early for lidge or jimmy
phreak was ready to kill someone in april now hes all luvy duvy two months later. boy dont make no sense.
Your only option with Lidge is to ride this out or DL him for 30 days and hope he gets his head on straight (or knee fixed). Romero can set up for Madson for a month without a problem if they want to go that route.
why are the guys in the booth touching each other
bout time something was done to jimmy
i seriously will lose it if they give another good pitching performance away...they should farging be going for a sweep right now
I hope lidge is in street clothes right now. IGY's right we should have swept them. 2-2 split against the team with the best record at home and in the league so far. I'll take it and fargin get ready for the choke artists tomorrow.
i know a rookie isnt going to get it but that 2-2 pitch to loney was a strike
he did look safe
choke thought it was the third out
farg you joe
Farg Yeah, now get that Park chump out the game!!
jockey what!
dook has turned himself into a bonified major league hitter...and hes already one of the best if not the best manager behind the plate in the ml's
Feliz and Ruiz have been $ at the bottom of the lineup this year. Go figure.
trade marson
the more runs they score the saltier i get thinking what this series could have been without that witch mole motherfarger lidge
lol hate on the mvp from the only title of your lifetime you ungrateful piece of northeast trash

its repeat time now...you dont get a pass for losing games now because you were great last year
whats wrong with you...you sound like an la angels fan or some shtein
aint no pass, just a little respect. dont be hating. yea hes bad and shouldnt be closing right now. ok. but the hate from you is like an angry repub sittin his MA stoop whining about how the Romes gettin to marry is ruining america
worst analogy ever
how about you lighten the farg up and realize this team already won the nl east and we can go back to being a happy couple
ill lighten up and not care when they lose two of three to houston or someone i dont give a shtein about....but on the road going against the current gold standard in the league with a great winning streak and an opportuinity to start to bury the mets i am furious with lidge giving away two games...a four game sweep this weekend would have been ridiculous and gotten them all kinds of run on espn and the like
not to mention a 7-0 west coast trip
good points but farg if i care if espn praises the phils. they are in the playoffs, will have a home game against probably the weak ass team from the nl central. so really let the nlcs do the talking.
wow madson is dirty
yes he is. good win to even the series but the phils were the dominant team and this should have been a sweep. nice to see the bats wake up a little bit though. maybe jobu finally got his rum.
the starting pitching was rock solid against a very good dodger lineup.

I agree...but the potential is there. If this is the current Dodgers lineup 'bottom'...then I will take it. I was expecting the Dodgers to completely fall apart. I'm glad to see there is no quit in them. I was amazed to hear that Dodgers Pitching was up top with the leaders of the lowest ERA.
Im glad the Phils are out of here...see you guys in the NLCS.
i dont hate thier lineup i just dont think its anywhere close to second in the league in runs scored...their pitching is frontline tho...and torre is a great farging manager...and that will keep them at the top of the nl all year
Dammit! Should have been a complete sweep of So Cal. Lidge was just awful and I have a hard time blaming Feliz for that Friday loss. Lights On had two outs, Blake gets a lucky hit on the softest swing we'll see all year, walks the next batter than that French queer rips one into right field. I don't even want to think about Saturday's meltdown.

dodger lineup is crazy overrated imo...the fact that they are second in runs is amazing to me...but i think over the last month they are starting to show their true colors
farg this should have been a four gamer
i don't think their lineup is as good as the stats indicate either, especially without manny in the lineup. but at the same time, they've been swinging fairly hot bats all year so to go in and shut them down offensively is still an accomplishment.
ha....Rollins is leading at shortstop for NL All-Stars. what a joke
Ibanez is the #1 outfielder (and Victorino is #6 and Werth is #8)
Utley is over a million ahead of 2nd place for 2B
Howard is #2 at 1B (Pujols)
Feliz is #4 at 3B
Ruiz is #5 at catcher
you love all star games dont ya
The baseball one, yeah. The other sports, I'll check out a few minutes but that's it...
The mlb all star game is by far the best of all sports mostly because they still play defense just the same as they would in a regular game. Diving catches, going over the wall to grab a would be hour, etc etc. The only thing that players really ease up on are take out slides at 2nd and collisions at home plate.
Quote from: Sgt PSN on June 08, 2009, 02:07:01 PMDiving catches, going over the wall to grab a would be hour, etc etc.
Nothing pisses me off like when an outfielder lets an hour go by.
especially when they have to go over the wall to do it.
the nba is the only watchable one. mlb all star game is awful when you have a 9th inning match up of random pirates all star vs. random orioles all star deciding the game. maybe if they had free substitution or kept the starters in it would be good.

Why is Rose about to slap him square in the hiney?
And why does he seem so happy about it?
Little history lesson for the whippersnappers:
The picture is the last play of the 1970 All-Star game. Rose bowled over Fosse to score the winning run for the National League. Fosse suffered a seperated shoulder and was never the same player again. Rose caught hell for the rough play in an exhibition game, and of course you wouldn't see that kind of play in the All-Star game today. Bunch of Hoydas.
by rough play, do you mean rape? because it looks like rape.. and if thats what you mean.. i'm all for it.
per David Murphy on twitter, Lidge is going to the DL
Good. Either he's injured, or shellshocked.

Quote from: ice grillin you on June 09, 2009, 02:07:01 PM

i have no doubt that his knee is giving him problems
So, Wingspan was right but a year early. The good news is that Lidge had one perfect season and that little "World Series" victory in between.
Replaced by....
a pitcher? no
Marson? no
Mayberry? no
3rd-string catcher Paul Bako
Do they have a prospect named shteinheado? That would be neat.
Bako? WORLD CHAMPIONS!
i guess the DL is for broken heads too. bako? cuz they really dont need anymore right handed power other then jayson werth. i understand they want mayberry playing every day.. but it'd be nice to at least have him for the mets series to put up a little more distance. and especially against johan.
Bako?
What the hell for?
maybe hes got a big cock or something and we just dont know it
lets them use coste as a RH PH
heard about lidge on the radio and i was very happy to hear that they put him on the shelf for a couple of weeks. hopefully it's enough time for him to get his knee and his head right.
not really sure i understand the move to bring up another catcher. thought for sure they'd bring mayberry back up to get him some more big league exp.

Baseball draft tonight, everyone got their mocks in?
This game tonight is going to end up rained out, isn't it?
i thought the phillies only hit home runs in CBP...
what an awful pitching change that was....i dont get it at all
Chase just hit a rocket off Santana that chased him. He's still up 6-5, though.
So what does Santana do? He curses at Manuel on the way off the mound, gets into the dugout and then throws a tantrum throwing his glove and hat and then walking into the clubhouse.
And of course the Romes on MLB Network (Mitchypoo included) are applauding him calling him a competitor and whatnot.
:-D
theres no chance im watching the last inning of this and have to sit thru this douchebags over the top celebrations....someone post if they get a man in scoring position
7 home runs and a 6-5 final. Interesting. I hate the farging Mets.
seriously, how the F do you let Santana smash an RBI double off of you to tie a game?
BTW the Phils' first draft pick was from Notre Dame HS in cali. Notable alumni: GILLICK, Jerry "Beav" Mathers, Kirsten Dunst and Ogre from Revenge of the Nerds
blame that on charlie...there was no need to make a move there and happ should have had an opportunity to finish the inning...it wasnt like wright and beltran were coming up...or it was the 8th inning and you went to romero or madson...clay farging condrey was your pitcher of choice
the guy the phillies picked first in the draft at #75 was rated the 76th best prospect in his state by baseball america and #236 overall
the kid they picked is this guys son if anyone knows who this guy is a buddy of adam sandlers apparently
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0240797/
their 3rd round pick from Washington is committed to Oregon State for both baseball and football and somehow hits worse than Hewitt did
mlb draft is signability. talent is secondary.

Pretty much. He's been a bitch all year at the plate. His only significant contribution was the running catch he made in RF in SD.
That punk bitch Rodriguez was giving him fastballs and he could not pull the trigger.

Chan Ho just saved his (and the Phils') ass in the 9th on a grounder up the middle with two on and two out. Extra innings.

the mets are an after thought. focus should be on the dodgers.
I was hoping Utley would charge the corn fed shteinbag from Kansas. All he did was step out and "Pelf", as Hernandez calls him, got all zesty.
The Mets crew is annoying. Well, the PBP guy and Hernandez are; I like Darling.
Great catch by Werth....I thought that was a gapper for sure and with Martinez on first, a sure game-winner.
King was terrible tonight. But the BP was pretty good despite allowing a lot of baserunners.

they won a close game? awesome. take 2/3 and go home feeling pretty good about their road trip.. even though they SHOULD have taken the west coast 7-0. and then they get to play the sox.. hahaha. i hoped they enjoyed those games vs the nats. bring it home old man.
they have the second best record in the majors you idiot. theyve won plenty of close games. thats why they have the second best record in the farging major leagues. wake up.

I'm confident he'll start hitting again but I wouldnt' expect anything like we've seen the past 2 seasons. Good niche pinch hitters like Dobbs don't last long. Shortly someone will come along and give me a career pinch hitter that lasted 10 seasons, but that's the exception not the norm. They're interchangable parts otherwise they'd all be starting.

Ibanez bringing the heat to some douche blogger
QuoteRaul Ibanez of the Philadelphia Phillies is bristling at the suggestion in a blog that his offensive numbers could be the result of performance-enhancing drugs. And he's perfectly willing to be drug tested to prove it, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
"I'll come after people who defame or slander me," he said Tuesday night before the Phillies played the New York Mets, according to the report. "It's pathetic and disgusting. There should be some accountability for people who put that out there."
Raul Ibanez
#29 LF
Philadelphia Phillies
2009 STATS
GM
56 HR
20 RBI
55 R
47 OBP
.384 AVG
.327
You can have my urine, my hair, my blood, my stool -- anything you can test," Ibanez said, according to the report. "I'll give you back every dime I've ever made" if the test is positive, he added.
"I'll put that up against the jobs of anyone who writes this stuff," he said, according to the Inquirer. "Make them accountable. There should be more credibility than some 42-year-old blogger typing in his mother's basement. It demeans everything you've done with one stroke of the pen.
"Nobody is above the testing policy. We've seen that."
Ibanez, the leading vote-getter among outfielders on the National League All-Star ballot, was responding to a post on the Midwest Sports Fans site. In that post, the site's managing editor, Jerod Morris, using the pen name "JRod," tried to make the case that Ibanez's numbers were a result of several factors -- but added that given recent baseball history, speculation about performance-enhancing drugs could not be ignored.
Ibanez, 37, is off to a career-best start in his 15th major league season, his first season calling hitter-friendly Citizens Bank Park home.
Entering Wednesday's games, Ibanez is first in the National League in four offensive categories, with 55 runs batted in, 47 runs scored, a .682 slugging percentage and 152 total bases. He's second in home runs with 20 -- just three behind his career average. He's hitting .327, a full 39 points higher than his .288 career batting average. His career slugging percentage is .491 and he's averaged 96 RBIs a season.
But Ibanez is playing in the wake of the steroid era, where big statistical leaps raise eyebrows and elicit whispers. He's also playing in the Internet era, where those whispers can take on a life of their own.
"Unfortunately, I understand the environment we're in and the events that have led us to this era of speculation," Ibanez said, according to the Inquirer. "At the same time, you can't just walk down the street and accuse somebody of being a thief because they didn't have a nice car yesterday and they do today. You can't say that guy is a thief."
In the original post, Morris, who says he's 27, detailed a number of factors that could explain Ibanez's hot start, including the hitter-friendly parks where he's homered and some of the poor pitching the Phillies have faced.
But Morris also acknowledged that in the current baseball climate, "It's time for me to begrudgingly acknowledge the elephant in the room: Any aging hitter who puts up numbers this much better than his career averages is going to immediately generate suspicion that the numbers are not natural, that perhaps he is under the influence of some sort of performance enhancer."
While Morris said he wanted to give Ibanez the benefit of the doubt, he also said the suspicion could not be dismissed outright.
"Maybe the 37-year old Ibanez trained differently this offseason with the pressure of joining the Phillies' great lineup and is in the best shape he's ever been in," he wrote. "And maybe that training included ... Well, you know where that one was going, but I'd prefer to leave it as unstated speculation. However, if Ibanez ends up hitting 45-50 homers this year, you can bet that I won't be the only one raising the question."
On Wednesday, Morris posted another entry and offered a partial apology. He said he felt more secure about Ibanez's numbers, noting Ibanez's improvement with men in scoring position, and said he had no ax to grind with the outfielder.
"I'll accept some level of accountability and offer a sincere apology to Raul Ibanez for advancing a public debate that, in his specific case, is very likely unfair and perhaps even unnecessary," Morris wrote.
"However, I'm not accepting complete blame and accountability for being the person who started this. I just tried to do my homework and write a cogent response to speculation I had heard from other sources," Morris continued.
"If Raul Ibanez, or any other player who is speculated about for putting up great numbers, is upset at the speculation, the majority of their anger and venom in my opinion should be directed towards their past and present peers who used steroids and PEDs," Morris added.
how was the trip Doc Brown?
1.21 gigawatts?
I hadn't seen the OTL video of the discussion
in this day and age, it's pretty much impossible to not look at a guy like ibanez and think he's on/was on something. you'd really have to turn a blind eye to completely ignore his numbers. at the same time though, he faced better pitching in the AL, played on teams that didn't have this good of a lineup so there he didn't see as many good pitches and hit in parks that weren't nearly as hitter friendly.
having said that, ibanez is gawd. i questioned the move to replace burrell with him. didn't think it was a bad move, just didn't think it would be a great move either. oops.

You have some simple truths. You have one team, the Phillies, the defending champions of the world, who have earned an advanced degree in the complicated art of winning baseball games. And you have another, the Mets, who simply seem bent on making things complicated, period.
If the Mets ever figure out how to win and actually get players who aren't choke artists, and get a manager who doesn't manage games like a crackhead, and get fans who aren't the worst human beings on earth, and rid themselves of their retarded mascot, and move to a city that isn't a complete toilet, they'll have to be reckoned with.
-- Bobby Wine's son and Amaro's nephew were drafted by the Phils today. Wine was Penn State's 1st baseman, and Amaro is heading to Virginia.
-- Pablo Ozuna was suspended 50 games for a substance violation
-- Moyer vs. Redding in the "who sucks less?" matchup tonight
-- Stark says Bedard is the pitcher heard the most for Phillies trades but doesn't think he'll fit in with this clubhouse. He also says Happ, B*stardo, Drabek, Dominic Brown and Jason Knapp are off-limits in trade talks and Carrasco and Donald would require an All-Star in return, but Marson and Michael Taylor will likely be used in a trade.
What team would be stupid enough to give up an all-star for Carrasco & Donald?

After giving away Rollins and Utley already, they were about to give away Burrell tonight when they were slapped with a cease-and-desist from the Tampa Bay Rays, stating minor league teams aren't allowed to promote other major league teams within a 60-mile radius. They aren't going after Dunedin and the Blue Jays though. Sore f'ing losers. You don't hear about the Phillies going after the Thunder or Blue Rocks...

i never thought id say this but the phillies are actually taking to many pitches tonight...three times in the last three innings a batter went 3-0 and took the next two pitches...youre not stringing together walks and hits against this bullpen they are to good....you gotta swing and hope for a bomb or an extra base hit to at least get a man to third with less than two outs
Lucking out with Papelbon not being available. Hope they can take advantage of it.
werth is just brutal at the plate this year
CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKE!
Big shot by Howard there. Be nice to see Rauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuul end it here.
never thought Id see Ryan Madsen feared at the plate this much making heads look silly swinging the bat
Madson is a farging machine at this point. Going from a 98 mph fastball to a perfectly located changeup? Good luck.

its funny watching Facebook right now. I know about 50 Mets fans on there (old college friends from NY and biz associates) and all of the sudden, after he dropped it, about 25 new posts popped up like, "HOW THE farg DO YOU DROP A ROUTINE POP UP?"
i bet it wasn't as funny as actually watching it happen.
i win.

this game pissed me off big time.
A win would have made the Penguins winning a little less nauseating.
But no, Kendrick has to be a big fat vagina like Cindy and farg it all up.
Now this piece of shtein on the mound hits Ibanez after almost hitting Werth up high.
SOmeone is getting beaned tomorrow.
that hurt.
what the farg was that shane?
let's hope we don't see Kendrick again.

I'm definitely in a pissed-off mood too. Surrounded by Penguins fans at PNC Park all night and I come home to this shtein. Not to mention that the Lakers are gonna win this weekend.
At least the Mets embarrassed themselves again. That goes a long way.

Quote from: MDS on June 12, 2009, 11:24:58 PM
seasons over
No one is saying that, but this game hurts because of all of the other shtein that is going on.
And because its the farging Red Sox and I hate them.
The arrogance shown by MLB umpires amazes me. They act like they never make mistakes. Hello, Jim Joyce...that is a textbook reviewable call and you don't even take a look?!? And then tell Charlie that you were on it all the way and you will not review it? Unreal. That was a HR.
And...the HP umpire was all over the joint tonight. How many K's were there tonight? 35?
The 2-2 pitch to JD Drew prior to his HR was a goddamn strike.
My first inclination on Dobbs' hit was that it was foul, but I thought it was close enough to warrant a check.
I missed most of the game because I was working on an emergency at the office. The first part of the game I get to see is the Dobbs "HR". Stupid foul poles not being high enough. Should've hit it lower....ha. Oh well....get em the next two. They had no shot with Lester on the mound anyway, and three demoralizing losses in a row by the Mets makes things OK. btw the magic number is now 100. Yes I know it's June.

#1 mets fan even wearing a phillies hat to support his mans son....something i certainly would NEVER do
but turning it backwards so theres no conclusive evidence that he ever had a phillies hat on
why are people ripping kendrick so bad...he came out the minors into a game against the best team in baseball in extra innings and got the side out on 7 pitches...yeah two innings was asking to much from him but he did fine....the offense has to score a run
as for the home run call it was the correct call and even if reviewed would never have been overturned so im not mad about that...what is so ridiculous is the rule that its up to the ump who made the original call as to whether they are going to go to replay...its a massive conflict of interest...someone from a booth somewhere needs to make the call to go to replay
i would have to think that Joyce was the crew chief and that's the only reason why it was his call
paul blart is a total sellout. on what planet should a mets fans ever wear a phils cap.

easy kendrick was sent down more so because they need a fresh arm, but his continued crappiness certainly didnt help
bums. a lot of veteran pitchers will have a hard time compensating for 3 errors, let alone a rook in his 3rd start.....especially since he couldn't throw strikes.

They still need to add another starter, basticho needs work and lastnight was a sign of things to come.
if there wouldn't have been the rain delay, i would have liked to have seen how he responded to getting beat up so early in the game just to see where he's at mentally. obviously the dude isn't ready to be a full time addition to a major league rotation. you could tell that even in his first 2 starts primarily because he still has control and location issues. but if he would have been able to get right back out there and pitch a few more innings it would be a great indicator of whether or not he's a mentally tough pitcher which is more important than control imo. coaching and practice can fix control. strong mental make up is something you either have or don't. and since he got pretty good run support and solid defense in his first couple of starts, it's not a great measuring stick for how well he handles adversity. dude's got some talent though, that much is evident. and his name rocks.

i don't even like having replay, but if it's going to be part of the game then you are spot on. baseball umps are arrogant enough that the thought of possibly making a mistake won't enter their minds at all. the league needs to have a replay official type person at every game to make the decision. either that or there needs to be some sort of "challenge" system in place for the managers to use at their discretion. give each manager 1 challenge a game.

Werth's been sizing him up pretty well, though. One homer, and one that would have been if hit anywhere else in the park.
High inside's been called all night (particularly on Ibanez and Howard) - now it's been low and away. Damn inconsistency.
oh joy
Dammit, Madson, you have to get that pitch across the damn plate on 3-2.
:boom
oh look the real Condrey showed up
Toronto was 0-27 when trailing after 8 innings...
Great job tonight offense & bullpen...

Just about lost a remote on that pitch. Absolutely idiotic to not groove a fast one on that pitch. Make the batter hit it.
His change up is his best pitch, not really surprising he'd throw it when he needs a strike.

He took advantage of a rookie GM. They need to add two new starters by the start of next season. One will suffice for now.

this is the best day of my life.
easy is going to kill himself now you piece of white trash matty
the stupidity of this team is amazing
-- After 5 balls in a row, Utley swings and flies out to left with 1st and 2nd, no outs
-- Rollins tries to steal 3rd with Howard up, 1st and 2nd, 1 out
-- Blanton down 3-1 to the catcher with 2 outs and a no-name pitcher making his ML debut on deck gives up a 2-run HR
-- with a depleted bullpen, Blanton has 50 pitches after 2 innings already
it really is amazing that this team actually won a ws last year. how they managed to go through the postseason without their usual boneheaded mistakes is beyond me.
and now they just allowed Scutaro to reach 2nd on a walk :-D :-D

but dont question it...just be happy that they won one and know that they will probably never win another in our lifetimes
looks like another bullpen day. both pitchers have 70 pitches through 3
3-2 Jays
i don't understand why the phils are having such a hard time with toronto. it's not like they still have joe carter.
2-out walk to Blanton then Rollins HRs
yay?
i thought for sure park was going to serve on up to hill.
Good job by Romero to not walk that run in...although Merriweather's always terrible zone helped him.
Come on asshats....how about not getting swept.
By the way...they have only won two series at home, both against the Nats. Great job!
here's what the bottom of the 6th and 7th innings looked like:
rollins stuck out swinging
victorino struck out swinging
utley struck out swinging
howard struck out swinging
werth struck out swinging
feliz lined to right
5 consecutive swing and miss strike 3's.
These farging punks look like shtein.
Condrey is getting smashed again and its 7-5. After Feliz booted a dead double play ball. Rolen drives the dagger in deeper too...
farging bums.
lol...their pen is shot and its june
this is the one thing i wasn't expecting this year......a complete debacle out of the pen. no one coming out of the pen has been anything close to automatic this year. madsen has probably been the best of the bunch but he's been a little inconsistant as well.
it's like i'm watching the phillies circa 2004 all over again. total inconsistancy from top to bottom. offense, defense, sp and relief. it's been all over the map this year.
its not a debacle out of the pen...they have been more than good this year...but they can only make so many appearances in two and a half months and they have now gone past the tipping point
So wait the Phillies need pitching? Weird.

toronto isnt bad at all...they are just in a sick divison
they got swept at home by Florida and came into this series missing all 5 starting pitchers from the beginning of the season.

btw they're 4-8 since that fun winning streak against Washington and San Diego and had leads in 6 of the 8 losses. They're also 8-18 at home against everyone except Washington...

long SI article on Charlie (http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1156768/1/index.htm) (which means igy won't read it)
Quotedetails collide to the point that diagramming one of his sentences would require several of the Penn English department's best men and an oversized blackboard. "That's what always freaks people out," says his longtime companion, Missy Martin. "He can have times when he's talking and he gets distracted and it's not clear what he's saying or he doesn't complete sentences or he doesn't complete a thought, and that's when you think, 'Geez, this guy just doesn't have it up here'."
But when the subject turns to hitting, the stammer disappears and he gets locked in and it's almost as if you're listening to Warren Buffett on investing or Mario Batali on pasta.

Manuel's Orlando Twins were getting pasted 7--0 at home by the Charlotte O's early in a one-game playoff to decide the 1984 Southern League Eastern Division second-half race, and he had to do something. As the storm clouds rolled in, Manuel called [groundskeeper] Big John down for a talk. A short while later the heavens opened. The game hadn't gone five innings, so a rainout meant they'd have to go back and start all over. In the O's dugout manager John Hart was hollering for the tarp. One problem: The grounds crew was nowhere to be seen. "What Charlie did," says Hart, "he gave the groundskeeper a hundred dollars and a bottle of Jack Daniels, and the grounds crew disappeared."
Not true, says Manuel, "I gave him $50 and told him to go buy him some wine."
.
.
.
In 1983 he was hired as the manager of the Single A Wisconsin Rapids. "I knew nothing," says Manuel. ... His bunt sign entailed squaring around and saying, "Bunt." A typical pregame talk consisted of Manuel pointing to the cowboy on the giant cigarette ad out in deep right center and asking his players, "O.K., who's gonna knock the d**k off the Marlboro Man today?"
.
.
.
On Aug. 28 Philadelphia was a half game behind the Mets and had a 4-1 lead on the Cubs at Wrigley Field. Manuel brought in setup man Ryan Madson to pitch the eighth inning, and the 28-year-old righty gave up three runs without retiring a batter in a 6--4 loss. Afterward Manuel summoned Madson into his office. "I thought, Oh, man," says Madson. But instead of getting ripped, he got this: "Sometimes those Louisville Sluggers are going to talk to you a little bit," Manuel said with a chuckle. And that was it. From that point until the end of the season, Madson had an 18-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio, and his ERA was 0.63.

overshadowed stat with the pitching woes that have been prevalent lately
phils hitting .190 with runners in scoring position last 30 games
Yea they've been pretty unlucky lately.
When the Orioles make you look bad, you're pretty awful.
They made 5+ ERA Rich Hill look like a stud...which is the what the Phils prior to 2008 did. Some shteinbag toes the rubber and they flail and hack at every hunk of trash heaved up there.
Why Jack Taschner has a job, I don't know. And why Charlie left him out there, I don't know either. Unless the BP had been ground into nothing from the 1-5 week of starting pitchers not getting into the 7th.
1-6 start to a homestand first time since 2004
The horrible road Orioles were something like 7-20....need help? Come to CBP where the champs can't play for shtein.
farging terrible week.
I'm still not worried and they've been playing like shtein.
Drabek with another solid outing. Scattered 4 hits through 7. Pitched a shutout.
yeah good to see drabek come back last night...he hasnt been very good since his debut...his bb/k ratio is still pretty bad
i dont know if anyone mentioned it...im sure easy did...but lakewood won their first half division sal title the other day
I'd usually be furious about how the Phillies are playing right now, but I can't seem to get all that upset over it. Occasional World Championships seem to help in that regard.
this phils went into a slump about this time last year. i remember they were on a roll going into st louis for father's day weekend. they had that 1st game blow out where they plated 20 and then they went into nearly a month long stretch of average/below average ball. so i'm not really worried about how their playing right now, but i'm very annoyed with it because you'd think that after winning a championship this team would be able to take a step forward mentally and play smarter ball.
The hitting will come around. I have no doubt of that. I am concerned about the pitching, though, because they're closing in on the midpoint of the season and it's only gotten worse. And all around, too, not just the starters although they've been exceptionally putrid.

You have got to be farging kidding me.
Absolutely embarrassing.
god I hope Lidge is ready to go when he comes back
madson can't handle the pressure. He's shaky on the mound...he doesn't have that shutdown closer mentality
I think we've proved that Ryan Madson is not the closer. Hopefully Lidge comes back ready to go. Otherwise, this team could be in big trouble.
Absolute clutch by Choke.
Absolute garbage from Madson this week.
What bunch of farging shteinbags.
funniest part of this was the 9th inning lineup of coste, feliz and bruntlett. seriously.

the thing no one talks about is how farging pathetic their bench is
madson made the worst 1-2 pitch in the history of baseball last night
Mitch Williams would beg to differ.

At least hearing Harry's voice on some of those clips cheered me up. I couldn't believe Wheels going on and on last night about what a tough a job being a closer is. Hello. There was no defending Madson last night. Just a plain old zesty pitch.

still no choke, same lineup as yesterday cept ruiz is catching not paul farging bako
Howard was evidently in the hospital overnight for flu-like symptoms,
Six in a row for the champs. Not a damn one of them playing worth a crap.
Hamels was pretty good today, though. He deserved better than he got from the lineup.
Lets hope this is rock bottom
1 positive: the Mets are 3-8 in their last 11 too
well this aint be good

Also thank you for the attention I so crave. I'll put off suicide another ten or so.
6-0 Phils before they got their 2nd out
Phillies?
I hate Price. FOX had their head almost as far up his ass as they did Joe Madden during the WS.
10-0! Holy crap.

22 ABs into his career, Mayberry is hitting .318 with 3 homers.
Great start for Moyer, the amazing performance on the road continues, and it looks like the Mets are about to lose. Back on track.

22 ABs into his career, Mayberry is hitting .318 with 3 homers.
i've only actually seen him in 2 games so far, but he hit a hr in both games, played solid d and looked very comfortable and patient at the plate. as long as fox doesn't keep picking out random black dudes in the stadium and claim he's mayberry's dad, i think he'll be ok.
i think at best mayberry is gonna be a skinny black matt stairs off the bench...but you could turn out to be worse things than a RH power bat off the bench and get the occasional start against a tough lefty
most likely though hes a career minor leaguer...i just cant see him ever batting above .250 at the major league level while getting real playing time
And all the positive play you've seen from him since the grapefruit league tells you that. I see.
I don't know how you can't be impressed with Mayberry, one criticism I did hear about him though is his swing is too long. I was at the game last thursday when he threw the guy out at home plate, it was amazing.
If he develops into a platoon-type guy who can hit 260-280 with 15HRs that would be fine. Considering they got him for Greg Golson.

yeah he has so many holes in his swing that it would be almost impossible for major league pitching to not abuse him over time...hell he has never been able to hit minor league pitching
He can't hit righties. He's at best a poor man's jayson werth.

Racist.
he should at least last on the roster when ibanez comes back. well i mean its either him or the illustrious paul bako, so...
He's better than everyone on the bench outside of stairs he shouldn't go back down at all.
Mayberry is a decent bench option but he's not their long-term solution for a corner OF spot. It's gonna be Taylor as long as they don't trade him for 2 months of Jason Marquis or some bullsh** like that...
Brown>Taylor
Brown might be at least 3-4 years away though...
Haha. Burrell just annihilated one to left-center off Blanton.
2-0 Gays

Way to be tonight, shteinbags.
Blanton pitched well and they get no offense. The Phillies of old, score 10 one night and scratch and claw for a run the next.
And why on earth was Jimmy Rollins not throwing to first with that plodding farger Burrell walking down the line?
Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Once again glad I went surfing and missed this one. I did unfortunately follow the bottom of the eighth on my blackberry. 2-1, :boom 3-1 :boom :boom, 7-1 :boom :boom :boom
Putrid effort from the offense (again) and a ridiculous eighth from the bullpen.
Why am I going to see these miserable corksuckers tonight?
I'll pay you good money if you take those cowbells and shove em up their fans ass.

Very extreme. Totally agree, sit a game and move him down in the lineup would wake his ass up.
he must have done something off the field or is hurt....no way you bench someone three games for a hitting slump and if hes being benched for his bonehead play last night then werth needs to go for a week and victorino released

None of the above. They were talking about it pregame and said Charlie just wants him to get away from the game for a little while to clear his head. He wouldn't even let him practice at SS during warmups, instead he was shagging flies. Say what you want about Manuel, the guy knows his players and what they need.

you've outdone yourself with this post
They did what all WS champions did during the playoffs, they tightened things up and raised their level of play. Every team that's ever won the WS in the history of baseball has done retarded things at some point of the 162 regular season games.
and the phils will go down as one of the worst to ever do that...not the worst but their team is a very forgettable (not for us but in general) ws winner
Every WS team is forgettable with the exception of the Sox or Yankees and that's because the major sports networks won't let you forget them. I mean do you really remember the Cards winning the WS, or the White Sox?
well i would put the the white sox in that group with the phils as worst winners ever
cards werent a great team by any means but they had a HOF manager who willed them to win by at least playing the right way....the phillies are an atrocity for a good team playing the way they play
yeah they're awful
igy's amazing.
This team, right now, is horrid. They can't hit consistently, their BP reeks of piss and shtein and every last one of them has their heads jammed up their asses.
When Tyler Walker & Jack Taschner are integral parts of your BP---it ain't good.
Jesus christ what a hyperbolic idiot.
of course havas gives the cardinals a pass because la russa jizzes in his mouth and not in his face on he blows him
swallowing counts that much for you ay mikey boy?
I've convinced myself that Rollins has AIDS
homer wig out time
i dont see why you cant enjoy the hell out of the world series and say it was special and all that comes with it but still admit the phils are what they are
hell they dont even make the playoffs last year without the mets bullpen collapsing...as i said earlier this year with franky k that aint gonna happen this year
any team with that manager...that club IQ...that rotation....jesus their number two pitcher got sent down to the minors last year...has to be considered one of the weaker ws teams ever...doesnt mean they didnt have a magical playoff run tho and they deserve huge props for that
Who gives a shtein where they rank of all time WS champs? It has nothing to do with homer wig out time, it has to do with you always finding a scenario to point out what helped them do it and trying to justify your point by point out things like the Mets bullpen collapse.
i give a shtein...i want a team that is well thought of...that isnt going to be considered a joke afterthought of a ws champion...it was already anticlimatic enough with that atrocious rain out split game crap...miss the playoffs this year and two years from now no one even remembers that the phillies won the title...id like to be at least semi respected around the country
all you need to remember is the night of and the parade you miserable son of a bitch
Greatest Philly sports moment in the last 25 years...
(http://blog.pennlive.com/patriotnewssports/2008/10/large_LIDGE.jpg)
You had a perfect season from a closer, a great bullpen, one of if not the best lineup in the league, a great defensive team, Cole farging Clutch Hamels...but igy isnt satisfied. Since I was stationed in SD for 10 years and everyone in the Navy is from somewhere other than Philly, I received a shteinload of text messages and emails congratulating me. Not one of them has gotten back to me since and said "yeah that ws was a mirage, you're only in 1st place this season despite Myers/Lidge/Ibanez missing significant time. That you wait till they're struggling a year later to bring this up is typical hilarious you. Repeating is tough in any sport, but in baseball it's probably the toughest.
What a disgusting display last night. I have photos but I'm still too hungover to post them.
And IGY has indeed surpassed himself with that "worst champion evar" post.
Good God, just stop, bro.
ONE of the worst...unless they can turn it around this year gain some self respect and at least win a playoff series or two
obviously most ideal would be another title and would solidify them as a long lasting champion...that would be ridiculous
Quote from: MDS on June 26, 2009, 12:07:45 PM
all you need to remember is the night of and the parade you miserable son of a bitch
no thats all YOU need to do...i understand that the pressure is off as far as the championship drought and i feel that as well..if they miss the playoffs this year i certainly wont lose any sleep...but at the same time i want last years team to have some staying power
you cant homer in on one thing and tunnel vision it up...im looking at the big picture...i want some real lasting status in the sports world...not a fluke fly by night joke of a champion who caught magic in a bottle for a month and beat an expansion team for the title
They lost a total of three games in the entire playoff run.
Stop.
This Phillies team will be considered just fine by history. A home run bashing team with a starting pitcher WS MVP who went perfect in the playoffs, a season-perfect closer, and just a fun collection of personalities... it was a team that was fun to watch. They are diminished by having beaten the Rays, but that was out of their control.
They are not an all-time great team with 120 regular season wins or anything like that, but they are legitimate World farging Champions who definitely won't be considered any kind of joke or fluke. Ridiculous after 25 years of no champions that someone would be upset that the team somehow weren't good enough champions.
Plus, they have the capability and the young core to remain a competitive team for a while, and they could always win again.
Larussa is literally one of the five worst managers in baseball. The only manager I'd rather have larussa than is dusty baker.
Apparently he Jedi mind tricked all of the superior teams into sucking that year. Or the cardinals just got hot at the right time with some luck. Nah igys right it was larussa.
vince lombardi sucked too...only person id rather have him over is no one...he was the WORST
VORM?
Larussa is the best because he won championships...however, Torry Holt does not get the same respect.
I see.
Ummm...
how does that exactly fit in the....

Following the game n the phone...said Hamels was ejected...WTF?
ejected after he was yanked...as he was leaving the field he gave the ump some lip...i dont know why he didnt turn around and go off on the ump...youre out of the game anyway why mumble some words as you walk to the dugout...get your moneys worth pusssssie
so glad charlie switched the rotation so cole could pitch tonight instead of against the mets next week
I'm watching the NHL draft instead of the Phillies game, and the Flyers don't pick until sometime in August. That's how bad they suck right now.
they are basically impossible to watch right now
Good to see Lidge is back in pre disabled list form
The past few games, I've been finding other things to do. Heck, I'm even turning off the TV completely rather than watch the travesty going on out on the field.
Maybe I gave up the wrong sport on DirecTV.
1 run on 3 hits.
I ended up fast forwarding most of the game.
What in the farg is wrong with these punks?
QuoteThe Phillies' clubhouse remained closed for roughly 20 minutes after the game, about twice the usual length. Finally, general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. made a brisk exit. For the first time this season, Manuel refused to meet with reporters after the game.
The locker room was quiet and nearly empty. A scowling Ryan Howard pushed a folding chair out of his way while leaving. Cole Hamels, the losing pitcher, passed through the room several times before saying, "I can't gather my thoughts to say anything good right now," and promising to answer questions today.
Finally, Shane Victorino spoke.
"Whether we're trying too hard to make things happen, I don't know," he said. "I can't put my finger on it. What do you do? You just keep playing . . . we're not going to make any excuses. Maybe we need to relax. Maybe we need a gut check."
After several more minutes of silence, while players kept their eyes on the floor while leaving, Chase Utley appeared in front of his locker.
"Right now, we're not playing very good baseball," he said. "There's no one thing we're doing bad. We're just not playing together as a team."

I was seated right behind the Phillies bullpen and the fans are literally right next to the players. Some icehole Rays flag started shtein with a group of Phillies fans and kept it up until his Rays security got tired of his shtein and tossed him. The security down there is like the gestapo.
This is where I ended up after we left the upper deck:

what a great place to watch a game.
The best thing that can be said for that place is there's never a rainout. And they had a stand selling Guinness directly behind the section we snuck into. Other than that, it's a total toilet.
Adam Eaton?
QuoteAfter players brushed him off, Eaton said he called out to Romero, something to the effect of, "How about you get me some juice?"
Romero was recently reinstated from a 50-game suspension for violating baseball's policy against performance enhancing substances. The pitcher claimed the test resulted from a dietary supplement he bought over the counter.
Romero snapped, Eaton said, telling him to "shut the f---- up" and that he didn't know what he was talking about.
Eaton said he replied that Romero was the one who'd been suspended recently.
"He reared back and kinda grazed my chin and grabbed me by the neck and threw me back," Eaton said. "I was in shock."
Eaton's lawyer, James Magazine, said he was retained late Friday afternoon and hasn't had time to investigate the case.
"I don't feel what I said was wrong," Eaton said. "I feel if you cheat the game you're going to hear it from people. He brought that on himself. I just can't believe that a professional athlete would cross the line."
Tampa Bay Hoyda.
Now we are going to hear about emotional distress and all that shtein
I wonder if it was the icehole who got tossed?
Next time you see this loser, he'll have a neck brace and a cane.
what a total twat. enough with this fans can do no wrong bullshtein. if someone says shtein the player should punch him in the face and the maybe that Hoyda wont do it again.
only hope is that he dies in a car accident on the way to the first hearing if this pathetic case even makes it that far
better buy some more of those free jc shirts
Really? I mean....REALLY?
If that nutcase sues Romero or the Phillies over this, he needs to have the shtein beat out of him for real this time.
Hoyda.
So wait, a juiced up roid monkey came after a fan who was heckling him? I for one and stunned.
Difference between TB and Philly is this type of situation. Look at the Domi fight at the FU center

Good comeback by the Fightins, but I'm getting a bit tired of Howard coming up with runners in scoring position and striking out.
Catcher trying to steal third with one out and the best hitter on the team at the plate, who is a lefty? Smart move.
ive had no problem with him this year....and you know my history with choke
wtf farg was that double steal?
or did utley miss a sign
why would you double steal with your catcher as the lead runner
unbelievable
It's Ho time!
jesus that catch was even more ridiculous than on first view
its going to get underplayed cause he didnt dive or run into a wall but that was insane and one of the best catches in years
btw can i say again how amazing brian tallets mustache is
awesome stairs ovation....canadiens love their canadiens...much like philly but a whole country
come on werth big two out hit here
awful at bat by utley

wang has been brutal but a change of scenery plus the al pitcher changing over the nl is basically moving down a level so he would be worth a shot.

I know we're desperate but oh my god please no. please no.
I guess they could get him for probably next to nothing.
yeah id definitely take a shot at him...if he can even be half of what he was the last three years hed be a great pick up
If they get him for nothing he's worth a shot...basticho needs to be replaced like a month ago
jimmy rollins replacement so far 1-15 with a huge error yesterday...way to go chuckles
That sit down was for Rollins benefit, when he comes back and starts hitting like the Rollins of old then we'll know it was a smart move. This wasn't about a weekend series vs. an AL team, it was about getting one of their most valuable players back on track for the rest of the season. I thought it was a great move.
I thought sitting him was wise as well...its a last ditch effort to get him to snap out of it. Unfortunately Amaro has not provided a viable back up there. Bruntlett is a disgrace and the fact he has a job is terrible. He does nothing well, as evidence by his appearances as a pinch runner last year for Burrell...he could not even do that right.
Wang is worth a shot if you give up a C-level prospect for him. Anything more and its a waste
They sat Rollins and the team won 2 of 3.
Yep - horrible move.
2-2...hes sat the last four games
yeah 1-15 with terrible fielding screams great move
anytime you put eric bruntlett in over jimmy rollins its a horrible move...to do it for more than one game is a joke
He was playing horribly and needed a break. You've been posting horribly and could use one too. If I were Charlie I'd sit you for a week.
one game break on thursday....moved down in the order fri-sun...his fielding and speed alone make him a better option than garbage ass eric bruntlett
I'm the manager and I told you to sit down and keep your mouth shut. Sunny... Dio... help this guy find his seat.
Kawakami was skipped tomorrow night after taking a line drive in the Yankees series, so the Phils get Lowe/Jurrjens/Vazquez instead. yay!
Still no word on Thursday's starter, but it might be Carrasco...
As for Rollins, I would've brought him in as a defensive replacement in that 8th inning, especially the way Madson and Lidge have been lately. 80% chance Jimmy pops or flies out in his first AB tomorrow night, so it's not like he learned anything from a 4-game break...
carrassco has been real good lately...i think quality starts in seven of his last eight..and as bad as his record and era have been hes still around a strikeout per inning pace
that said i think chan ho eaton kendrick or carpenter come before him
hes not being called up anytime soon but scott matheison had a real good couple innings in clearwater last week
Carpenter dominated on Saturday, so he's definitely in the mix. Drabek was also mentioned but I seriously doubt he sees the majors this year. Kendrick...I don't think he'll see the majors again unless they're desperate...
Quick minors note: the LV reached .500 for the first time in their 2-yr history (not counting 0-0). Progress...
that would make for an awesome watch on sat if a carrasco or drabek got the start....be the second time this year a phillie youngster debuted in the rotation this year on sat afternoon fox game of the week against a big apple team

Nice to see a pro athlete not going ape shtien about getting benched.
QuoteSo Rollins hasn't taken batting practice during the break, though he has worked on his swing by taking soft toss and hitting from a tee.
"I'm getting the right stroke down, which is good. I've been doing very well," Rollins said, according to The Delaware Daily Times. "It's like, 'There it is, you dodo brain ... it took you so long to remember that?'"
2.5 up and a chance for them to put some distance between them and atl and NY a bit this week. What a fargin absolute train wreck they are.
Quote"When you have this many teams in the race it's very thin," Amaro said. "It's always thin. Again, there were three teams who got pitching last year. Three teams out of 30. That's 10 percent.
"We can say, 'Pretty please can we have a pitcher?' but that doesn't mean one will become available."
I didn't think it possible but evidently Joe Banner has now been surpassed in the Philly Sports Executive Douchebag category.
I think the crown is still Joe's. Amaro needs to prove he's a major douchebag for more than one year to challenge for the crown.
Dodo brains and Pretty Please, oh shtein. Season over.

LOL...you crack me up after ever loss. I have to log on just to see you get all warped.
I don't expect the '27 Yankees or anything like that, but these iceholes have been pitiful. I hate stupid baseball and these guys do nothing but play stupid.
Madson has been an abortion in June.
At least the Mets have matched them suck for suck. The Marlins could be in first before the end of the week.
well i won $20 off my roomate in nba live 09 so farg ya'll stillupfront's moms
that would've been a simple 3U in the 8th if Madson hadn't nailed Blanco in the back with the throw. Stupid Madson...damn
madson actually made a real good 0-2 pitch to prado it was just a real good piece of hitting
dont be surprised at all with the mets injuries and the phillies idiocy for the marlins to win the division...their pitching is really good
there is a 0% chance the farging marlins win the nl east
put your money where your mouth is
i get the marlins you get the phils
20 bucks
done. add it to my fantasy baseball winnings.
just to be clear the phils or marlins have to win the divison for there to be a winner
if the mets or braves win the division its a push
Nothing rev's IGY's engine like betting against Philly teams.
its a no lose scenario baby
either my team wins or i make it rain up in this bitch
or the mets or braves win and nothing happens you stupid ne philly pos
chill on the fish. They can't beat anyone except the Nationals either...
still got the best record against the east...i feel good about this bunch of young studs...you dont have to be great to beat the pathetic teams in that division
closer is a big concern tho
phils are in the same stop now at this time that they were in last year.
they have won back to back crowns. the mets are a joke. the marlins are .500 at best. the braves are an after thought. easiest 20 bucks i ever made.
i hope youre right
i give the three teams an equal chance to win and id put the mets with them if they can get healthy before they get buried to deep
ill bet you another 20 spot the mets dont make the playoffs.
its like a team made up entirely of chris webbers and dan marinos.
no.....money lover
so says the guy from the part of philly thats slightly better than kensington
you will be that much more sad when the fishies win it all
youre a sick human being

I switched it off and started watching Pitchmen. Dead people are more entertaining than these bums right now
Hamels will be fine. He's not as good as people thought he was though, that's your fault for being morons though, not his.
He's upped his Krate and lowered his BB rate. Things just aren't breaking his way yet. Lester has had pretty much the exact same problem. It happens.

apparently i was wrong. the phillies poor play is still more entertaining that your same old song and dance. because there is a limit to the amount of suckage the phils can do out on the field, but at a certain point, they will improve. meanwhile, your douchebaggery knows no bounds. keep raising the bar, son.

oh im not upset...and ill always love to death last year...the parade is a top 3 moment in my life
and even with a great team they werent repeating most likely...its way to tough...im just sickened by how they are completely urinating on any respect their championship team had
Season's over. Time to move on.
i dont find that funny in the least
look at it this way, the phillies are the only team in mlb history to win a ws after losing their 10,000th game.
and the cubs are the next closest to 10k in the loss column with 9561 losses and it will probably take them about 7 years to get there and another 100 to win a world series so it looks like the phils will be the only team with this glorious distinction for quite some time.

It's better not to acknowledge his disgruntled ramblings. Don't you know every team that's ever won a title in any sport is judged on what they did the next season, not the season they actually won. It makes perfect sense.
Worst championship team ever!
7-0 Phillies, bottom of the third.
Seriously.

Gotta love the Mets
paul bako getting a hit tonight ruins any credibility this offense performance might've had

Oh and great job showing Manny's first at-bat, Fox. Get caught cheating and reward him with 24/7 attention. Awesome!
Don't you find the past three hours of All Star games from the past conversation riveting.
The Mets are horrendous right now. Can't hit, can't pitch worth a damn, their defense is a mess and it looks like they're sleep-walking all around.
And Lidge looked the best he's looked since last season today. His slider was devastating and he had pretty good command of the fastball. Nice.
The Mets are fortunate the Phillies have been experiencing their annual suckfest summer. There is no way they should only be a few games back.
Chase coming up on the All Star Selection Show on TBS.
Utley, Ibanez and Howard are in, and Victorino is on the Final Vote ballot
Excellent start by Fat Joe. That's three in a row by Phils starters - Lopez, Moyer and Blanton. They must love the Mets more than Feva and Die-Hard.

It was against an injury-depleted Mets team, but Lidge was dominant today, and excellent yesterday as well. Hopefully it's the beginning of a great second half.

I'm sunburned and hungover as farg if that makes you feel better. The worst part was we stopped at some little Mexican food joint called Tijuana flats in NE Philly. They don't label their hot sauce hot, mild, etc., so I doused my nachos with the hottest shtein I've ever eaten. My mouth was on fire and it feels like I'm shteinting hot coals every time I take a dump. I've eaten some hot shtein that one drop makes you tear, but this shtein was on a totally different level.
Considering you sent your first photo at 7:30 yesterday morning, I'm shocked you're hungover.
And Tijuana Flats is a chain restaurant too. Chains suck!

QuoteThe Phillies have decided to scout free agent pitcher Pedro Martinez, according to a source with direct knowledge of the situation. It is not clear exactly where or when they will take a look at Martinez, but indications are it could be in the Dominican Republic today, with other teams also watching. The pitching-starved Phils, who were not previously interested in the veteran, have changed their mind and decided to consider him, though that does not mean they will ultimately sign him.
Martinez, 37, is 214-99 with a 2.91 earned run average in 17 seasons, and last pitched for the Mets. Last year, he was 5-6 with a 5.61 ERA for New York.
While past his prime, Martinez is, of course, one of the top pitchers of his era. The Phillies have explored trades for starting pitchers for most of the season and intensified their efforts after Brett Myers was likely lost for the season with a hip injury. General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. has not yet found a trade partner, and will now consider Martinez.
money is irrelevant so basically its if pedro vs. anyone they can get in a trade
and its lookin like that answer is pedro

Let's hope this years St. Louis game from last year where they scored 20 runs was the game in Tampa when they roughed up Price last month. Remember how dead the bats went after the St. Louis game.

jays willing to trade halladay
i think it goes without saying that the phils have a 2 year window here to win a few titles and if they have to sell the farm to win a few more so be it. in my view its worth a 3-4 year set back to win another title or two.
hamels/halladay gives them a great chance to beat the dodgers in the nlcs again, which at this point is a forgone conclusion of a matchup. getting halladay could poss. even help them get homefield.
marson, corrasco, drabek, whatever. who knows if any of those guys will pan out. what we do know is halladay is cy young winner and could get a few more parades down this way.
that goes without saying. i don't think amaro has the ability/cojones to pull it off though.
Not sure what brought the tears to my eyes. The hula girls, hearing Hawaii 5-0 in the background or seeing Madson on the mound.
Utley just saved nimble foot Madson with that effort. Awesome play.
non-save situation for Lidge = automatic loss
they had a 3-0 lead with the bases loaded and no outs and didn't score again the rest of the game. Pretty much knew it was coming after last night though....
Ha--fantastic.
According to ESPN.com's Jayson Stark, the Phillies are "more interested" in free agent Pedro Martinez "than they're letting on."
The Phils sent special assistant to the general manager Charlie Kerfeld to the Dominican Republic Tuesday to watch Pedro throw. The club won't hand Martinez the $5 million he's seeking, notes Stark's sources, but their offer could be around that.
pro-rated. he's not getting $5M for half a season
Yeah, Pedro is exactly what this team needs!

I'd like to think of Drabek as untouchable, but they have a ton of prospects to get it done. I just hope a team like the Red Sox doesn't blow them out of the water with talent. Halladay would be unreal.
http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/20090708_Jim_Salisbury__Phils_should_take_a_shot_at_getting_Halladay.html
you can't make both Drabek and Taylor untouchable, and i'm not sure which one i would chose, i guess you have to say Drabek because you always try to keep pitching, but Taylor looks like he could be an absolute monster.
it would take one of Taylor or Drabek, plus Carrasco, Brown, and probably Donald or Marson
Trade everyone in the system for Halladay.
Pretty much; getting Halladay would require a lot, but it would be worth it.
And then in true Philadelphia style he'd blow his shoulder out two starts into his career here
Yeah but those two starts would be breathtaking.
they would be the most awesomest 10 innings ever!

Viva la Filis de Filadelfia
Now if I could only say it in Hawaiian.
BRAN TORINO
ugh
well they won. yay
So does this mean no trade? Meh.
no, it means they can give up happ in a trade for halladay
Meh.
now the site says it's a done deal and he's flying up for a physical and possible announcement tomorrow (http://candeladeportiva.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1882:pedro-ira-a-filadelfia-manana-al-examen-fisico&catid=19:grandes-ligas&Itemid=68)
and supposedly the $4M is pro-rated, not for 2 months
(http://rlv.zcache.com/shane_victorino_tshirt-p235487608098211245afm02_525.jpg)
Pedro. Whatever. If they let Halladay slip by I'll shtein. Hamals, Halladay, one of the young prospects be it Happ or Drebeck or whoever is left makes me happy inside.
What's the word on Lopez?
Victorino won with 15.6 million votes.
I cast exactly 10 of them or about the same as FF voted for Bush in 2004.
Pedro says his agent is working out the details but nothing's done yet.
Get here soon. Moyer stinks again...
Utley just hit an easy standup inside-the-park HR :yay
Any idiot who still doesn't believe that Utley is in the upper echelon of defensive second baseman just look at Phillips. Awful.
?
Rollins is playing like he did the year he won the MVP. I don't know if there's a manager that knows his players better than Manuel. His in game moves are questionable, but the guy knows which buttons to push.
Paul Bako with the speed that inning
8-6 after 5. This one's probably gonna be double-digits....
wheels: "the spectrum just held so many memories...stanley cups!...lots of good basketball"
lol
literally had no clue the sixers won a title there...if he even knows who the sixers are
It's starting to come together, pepper. It's starting to come together.

wheels hatred has gone down over the years. not to say hes gotten better but the "hes actually pretty good" brigade has gotten louder, especially after harry died.
hell always be top 5 worst announcer hof but i think hes been around so long that people are just used to him
How about Wheels pulling out an Eddie Vedder reference. I bet he couldn't name one PJ song....
The Phils became the second team in major league history (2000 Blue Jays) to have four guys with 20+ HRs before the All-Star break....
so, ESPN is creaming at the thought of the phillies getting both Pedro and Halladay, as am i.
bill conlin who when it comes to baseball i trust with my life was on wip today and said they are not getting him (holladay)
would him be halladay
also conlin is not the ballpark all that much and doesnt know whats going on like he used to. not saying hes not awesome, he still is and will always be, but it aint 1990 anymore mikey boy
They are not getting Halladay
They will get Pedro's 5.1 IP a night with an 86mph fastball ass and he will take Lopez's spot in the rotation and they will let Moyer's ass stay in there.
two nights outta five the Phils will hold live BP sessions for opponents.
better hope the offense keeps it up. farging Pedro...are they serious?
Another thing...Werth has put together a helluva year. But I don't think I have ever seen someone like him in the sense that he can look soooo bad against RH's at times but mash the hell outta the ball. He bails and goes to his knee so much that its hilarious.
Pedro was just brutal last year. He may have 1-2 adrenaline-type solid starts to begin but after that he's gonna get lit up.
At least he'll provide some fun soundbites. And it would be great if he pitched in Queens.
Still farging amazes me how the phillies have taken over. At a bar in MD last night, every tv had the phils game on, people clapping and cheering the phils.

hehe at Phreak's complete and utter overreactions. Again.
bill conlin is a senile old idiot and has no clue what's going on
so you trust him with your life as well?
conlin is a god who has more friends in the inner workings of baseball than munson has cut offs...if he says they arent willing to part with the players to get holladay then unless toronto lowers their ridiuclous demands they arent getting him
im eerily at ease with this tho....if this was last year id be going bonkers and killing the team for not giving up reading and clearwater for him...but this year if they get him id be super happy...if they dont it will be like eh whatever
its unbelivable what a title does for you
Wow, that is eerie.
I don't think anything I said was overreaction.
Pedro is done. He is going to tax the bullpen because he cannot go 7. When this team has Moyer and Pedro in the same rotation that is going to tire the bullpen. His velocity is down.
I hope he comes in and blows out his arm. That will save Amaro from himself.
Halladay is a pipe dream.
The fact that they should be signing Pedro, and are is good enough for me. Hell, Pedro could very well get hurt or suck, but they are doing everything they can. The owners got a taste of that playoff money and royalties, and are spending money now to get money.
Pedro from 1997-2004 ain't walking through that door
Is he better than Lopez?
probably not...the fact that lopez is in the majors and pedro is not tells me that pedro is done...i mean he has a HOF resume is available to the entire league and is essentially free yet isnt on a team?
that said i think hes worth a shot for a start or three...what do they have to lose
basically yea, its around $4 mil they would pay him and they are printing money over a citty bank these days
I prefer Rodrigo Lopez.
If he falters, then you call up one of the kids. Or hope that Ricciardi doesn't want the entire farm for Halladay.
Spend the money acquiring a RH bat who doesn't shtein the bed.
Bruntlett is horrible and Chris Coste is not much better. Mayberry needs to stay when Ibanez returns and they need another RH bat
Beltran's replacement......Werth
the whole outfield is going. ha
woohoooo! Werth's an ALL STAR!! :evil
poor bobby and pat
pour a 40.....Coste was waived and claimed by Ed Wade
Maybe he'll write a book about Houston.

he was the next highest vote getter correct...charlie didnt name him did he?
I think Chuck did pick him.
And Rob Neyer is all pissy about him not picking 'Kung Fu Panda'...who I didn't know was Pablo Sandoval until I read the thread on PhilaPhans.
Werth was around 8th or 9th in the regular voting and Manny was ahead of him. I think Victorino was 5th....
what does that mean.....charlie picked him?
because the mlb press release says the spot goes to the next highest vote getter on the player ballot whatever that means
Charlie can pick whomever he wanted for the injured Beltran, from what I read.
I don't think it's solely Charlies choice but I think he has the biggest influence on who goes. Not 100% sure though. Didn't think Werth deserved a spot over Sanoval but who cares what I think.
The manager gets to choose injury replacements, so yeah this was Charlie's call. There should be more outrage from Giants, Dodgers and Diamondbacks fans, but the west coast doesn't matter anyway....
Cholly is a God for picking Werth.
:yay
PS: farg the Giants and that fat donut eating corksucker.
I'm sitting in the best seats I've ever had for a Phillies game...section 111 row 13.

soccer definitely >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> baseball
I watched the next generation of Phillies cast-offs tonight. Don't know the dude's name but he hit the farg out of a home run to left. It went at least 475 cause it hit the second parking lot. The only other player I've ever seen hit that area was some dude named Burrell.
its a huge deal when the mets yankees or red sox dont lead the sportscenter baseball highlites....phils actually led the entire show tonight
interesting stat too...first time since 1998 phils have won a game down 4 or more in 9th at home...last time was the buccos as well
so i drove back from nj while this was going on but since they were down 7-2 when i left, i elected to let the music run instead of the game.
damn.
It's fairly amazing how awful the Pirates are. I remember when I was a kid that going to a Phils/Pirates game was huge. They had epic battles back in the day and now it's just ho hum.

Puss.
Whats the deal with King? He's been terribly inconsistent this year and it maddening to watch.
Couple other things...
The Pirates crew talked all game long about how Howard has struggled against the Pirates no matter who pitches, who coaches the pitchers or who manages...and he kills it in the 9th. I knew that if Vic or Utley got on base, he was going to crush one. It had that feeling. But I also thought they'd go extra because Bako was gonna farg it up.
The play by Jack Wilson was amazing.
Scott Eyre should never come in with the bases loaded again. He cannot throw strikes consistently enough to be trust in that tight of a role.
Andrew McCutcheon is going to be a stud. What team will he be traded to in three years?

i was in central nj at a friends house for a weekend get together. when i left their house they were down 7-3, and figuring the game was over, i put the ipod and focused on not hitting deer and not getting lost. missed out on the game. fascinating. farg.

Depending on which sports station you listen too, the Phils don't want Halladay because they don't want to take on his salary - I find this hard to believe with the revenue they're generating at CBP. Or a possible holdup in a deal is the Phils don't want to part with Happ or Werth. Personally I'd rather have Drabek and Taylor over those two even though they're starters.

Happ is basically Kendrick with a little more talent. He'll be a career 4th/5th starter and is expendable...especially since they're bringing a 5th starter into the mix (Martinez). I'd sell while his value is high, not wait until he's exposed like Kendrick. Werth is expendable, he's had a bit of a nice hot streak but again he's replaceable. You have to give to get, and Halladay is the best pitcher in the game.
On the flipside, I don't give up Drabek because he projects as a #1/#2 starter. And Taylor is going to be unbelievable, their ceilings are ridiculously high whereas the other two are nice players whose value is higher than it should be right now.
For years I waited for the Phils to either have a legit WS caliber team, or to build their farm system enough so the future looked bright. They have both of those things right now. As it stands now they're built to be contenders for the next 10 years, I'd hate to throw that all away on one player.

kendrick is eaton...happ isnt a #1 or probably even 2 but hes way better than kendrick or pedro
drabek and taylor are both very good prospects...but its not like they are a strasberg or anything...they arent even rated in the top ten...i know people always overrate their own but youre acting like taylor and drabek are the top two prospects in all of baseball...matt laporta was way higher rated than either of them
i dont know how you can make a strong argument for the phillies being good for the next ten years....rollins howard utley are all basically 30 and will all be old at the same time and off the team...and while the phillies farm system is better than it usually is its still around the middle of the pack in baseball...theres an equal chance that in a few years when the utley rollins howard trio ages or moves on that the phillies willl stink...but the bottom line is we have no idea whats going to happen then or with any of the prospects...where as we know that with halladay added to this current team without weakening it in any way we are looking at a good shot to win a couple world series
i can understand not wanting halladay at all before saying youd rather trade two important starters on the current team over prospects for him....id much rather trade their top three prospects for him as i want to win right now with this nucleus all in their prime and even with getting halladay your team is not nearly as strong subtracting happ and werth...you really want pedro/kendrick and mayberry moving into starting positions?
Before Utley/Howard/Hamels came up I remember thinking they should trade them for ready now players so they could finally make the playoffs. They didn't, and for good reason. Those guys were rated around the same area as Taylor/Drabek/Brown/Knapp are. I'd love Halladay, I'd be willing to part with Donald, Marson, Carrasco, Savery, Happ, basticho, Carpenter and someone else. Those are good prospects that could one day be good to great major league players. But your blue chipper core guys, I think you have to keep them.
As far as the nucleus of this club, I guess I'd feel better if they were all signed to long term deals. But do you see them keeping Howard, Werth, Madson, Hamels etc. when their deals are up in a few years? Not to mention Ibanez will be close to 40, Moyer probably in a retirement home, who knows with Lidge etc. They need to develop young players now so they can replenish the team in a few years. I know they have a ton of revenue and things are looking chipper right now, but the Phils will never be the Yankees/Mets/Sox type of club that brings in big f/a's every year. They've never been that way and I dont' see them starting now. So our best bet for a competitive team for the next 10 years is to keep the core intact.
Pedro's going to start whether 'we' like it or not. If the Jays are adamant about getting Werth in a trade for Halladay you don't do it? I think Werth is the most expendable starter on the team.
They're not going to get Halladay.
But if they did have the chance, a legit shot, you go get him.
Perhaps Ruben should get creative and try to get some other GM and work a 3-way deal to help lessen the amount of top tier guys given up.

Before Utley/Howard/Hamels came up I remember thinking they should trade them for ready now players so they could finally make the playoffs. They didn't, and for good reason.
apples and oranges...the phillies stunk then...if they were a .500 team right now then i build thru the farm and dont even worry about halladay

If the Jays are adamant about getting Werth in a trade for Halladay you don't do it?

They're not going to get Halladay.
What it basically comes down too. And the Jays aren't trading him to the Yankees or Sox, so I doubt he even gets traded. I wouldn't mind Haren but again they'll want a lot in return. I wish these teams were a little more desperate to shed payroll.

5 years ago there were people that wanted to trade Utley and Gavin Floyd to Oakland for Zito. And can you imagine if Pittsburgh did that Howard-for-Kip Wells deal? There wouldn't have been a WFC for the next 10 years...
halladay as a fntc and hes not coming here unless the phillies throw him his 100 mil that he can get in 2 years on the open market from the yanks or sox.
the phillies of course will never do this, even though they are already printing money over there and getting halladay would more or less guarantee 2-3 years of nl east crowns and world series trips. which means even more money.

the best part about this signing is the media coverage when the Mets/Phils go at it--thats about it.
other than that...I hope his blazing 86mph fastball can hold up for 7 innings
shtein, I hope he can last 6.
5 IP pitcher
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
He was sitting between 88-91 and topping out at 93 the first outing then was around 88 for the second workout on two days rest.
Dude is hilarious and I'm really baffled why anyone doesn't like him other than chris wheeler syndrome.
i have 0 expectations but on the comedy scale it should be legendary
(http://www.thefightins.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/PedroPhillies1.PNG)
I don't know how someone could get really worked up (positive or negative) about the Phils giving Martinez a shot. Expectations are low but so is the price, and if it turns out that he blows, the rest of the #4/#5-quality crowd is still on the roster to jump back in there.
It drums up curiosity having a potential first-ballot HOFer joining the team. If, worst case, he loses some ugly games and tires the bullpen... well, there's no guarantee that wouldn't have happened in the absence of Pedro with the current crop of starters. You drop his ass out of the rotation and move on. Big deal.
On the other hand, the media and Phillies will be hyping this signing due to the star power, but the odds of Pedro rejuvenating the team's rotation are close to nil. I'd be shocked if this signing appreciably changes the Phils' fortunes in either direction. With such a limited potential downside, why not give it a try?
Halladay would be amazing but the odds of him becoming a Phillie might even be lower than the odds of 1999 Pedro coming back.
I'm starting to thaw a bit on this.
But has anyone told him to stop rockin' that juicy Soul-Glo fro?
It'll be fun if he has something left and can stick it to the Mets a few times.

Over the past couple of seasons the Phillies have been bizarrely effective at signing these older players who either seem done or close-to-done, and having them become meaningful contributors. In this case I suspect that Pedro truly IS done, but a couple hilarious rapes of the Mets is all I need to see to declare this move a resounding success.

Signed and put right onto the 15 day DL with a mild shoulder strain?
AP reported 1 year $1 mil.
QuoteMartinez can earn up to $1.5 million in incentives. The eight-time All-Star will need to make at least a few starts in the minors before he's ready to join Philadelphia's depleted rotation.
the "shoulder strain" is just so they can put him on the DL and let him make rehab starts in the minors

halladay is absolutely not a pipe dream...most 'experts' say they lead for him and are at worst in the top 2 or 3
I agree with IGY (that's twice in 2 days wtf?)...Halladay is NOT a pipe dream.
you agree with what i read...i dont know jack shtein...just what the 'experts' are saying...but if theres this much smoke i gotta believe theres fire
either way is there a better feeling right now than with any philly team in the last 30 years...a reigning champ who is in first place at the mid point of the following season and in the mix for the best pitcher in the league...its like no matter what youre on top of the world...your options are super happy (if they dont get holladay) and estatic (if they do)

Pretty sure Drabek is an untouchable. Taylor I'd hate to see go but if they're only giving up Happ, Taylor, another prospect than I'd do it in a heartbeat.
i would say theres almost no chance toronto does this without drabek
i wouldnt give up happ drabek and taylor tho thats to much...take out any one of those from that mix and im IN
i dont know why they would say drabek is untouchable...carrasco and marson were untouchable last year and look at them now...reggie taylor was untouchable once....so was gavin floyd
So was Hamels. There's no guarantee that any pitching prospect will ever succeed in the majors, but Drabek got the major surgery out of the way already and has rebounded well, he's likely motivated to get out from his dad's shadow, and he's drawn comparisons to Ben Sheets or Roy Oswalt. They have to find a way to get it done without him. Taylor.....great story and it'd be nice to have another righty power guy, but his path is blocked by Ibanez and Werth unless you trade Victorino and move Werth to center (meh).

even if drabek is as good hamels and thats a huge IF who cares if he is...in the big picture what has hamels ever really done...you wouldnt have traded a world series or two six years ago for cole hamels?
in fact the one thing hamels has done is had an incredible playoff that helped win a world series for the phils...which is what halladay would hopefully do this year and next for the phillies
or are you saying youd rather bank on drabek in 2013 being a playoff mvp and winning a world series for the phillies than banking on hamels and halladay going for a world series right now for the phillies
who knows when and if drabek he ever becomes a good major leaguer much less a roy halladay
ill take being the favorite for the WS over ANY prospect.....even a strasberg or weiters
Depends on who they would've gotten back then. Zito? No f'ing way. Santana....maybe. Beckett wasn't going to be traded within the division and the Phils couldn't come close to matching the Hanley/Anibal offer from Boston anyway. I want Halladay/Hamels/Drabek for the next 5 years. If the Mets and Yankees can get deals done without giving up their prospects (as overrated as they are), why can't we? If Halladay tells JP he'll only accept a trade to the Phils and they'll be stuck paying his salary otherwise, it lowers the demands. When Boston and the Yankees dropped out of the Santana discussions, it killed the Twins' chances of getting anything decent in return....
Quote from: BigEd76 on July 15, 2009, 11:57:26 AM
Depends on who they would've gotten back then.
if they would have gotten back any player or players that made them the prohibited favorite to win the world series
Unless Cole and Lidge figure their ish out, I don't think adding Halladay makes them the favorites...
these days anyone who makes the playoffs has a shot...especially a team thats already been there and won....and unless they completely collapse they should do that
right this second they are in the mix of world series challengers but i dont think they win it...however with halladay they become the definite favorites
as bad as hamels has been him as a number two guy in a playoff series would be so ill

So why not trade Werth? Both him and Happ might be at peak trade value right now given the years they are having. I hate this "blocked" bullshtein... it's how the Phillies lost getting 15 HOF years out of Ryne Sandberg and they could have traded Choke with the same logic a few years ago. Obviously we don't know if Taylor is on that level but if any outfielder with value is expendable it seems like Werth to me.
In a few years when Ibanez' contract runs out on his 80th birthday, the Phils can have Brown and Taylor in their mid-20s in LF and RF.
If it comes down to either Drabek or Taylor, they'll move Taylor and rightly so, but if that happens it better be as a last resort.
Strikeouts mean nothing.

and Jeff Stone PHed for Freeman later on. The only hit was from Tim Raines...
Ed, nice piece of work there. shtein, that's not half bad a lineup. I remember Jeff Stone playing in Hawaii as the Phils farm club was Portland in the old PCL. Gary Redus! Good stuff.

He did sock his second career homer off the Cubs' Kevin Foster on May 23rd, but surrendered a round-tripper to Foster a few frames later, marking only the tenth time that century that pitchers had homered off each other in the same game.
Great game by Moyer tonight. Let him pitch until he's 50, but only against the Marlins.

i'd really like to know what you can do in philly or nyc that you can't do in milwaukee or any other city not located on or near a coast. seriously. a city is a farging city. culteral events, arts and theatre, shopping, fine dining, night life, etc, etc.
minneapolis - great town
st louis - great town
chicago - great town
kc - great town
btw......minnesota is a state, not a city. they don't teach that stuff at temple?
non of them are cities or states. they are just places with names in MA. its like a big giant crop circle of suck and jesus and smelly republicans who hate abortion.
comparing a pasty white hicktown like milwaukee to philly, chicago, miami, nyc, etc. is laughable.
you sound just as ignorant as the jesus lovers and republicans you despise. congrats.
sarge did you really just say theres the same amount to do in milwaukee as nyc...its not so much what can you do....its how much there is to do
RIF
but you do realize theres a trillion things you can do in nyc that you cant do in MA...please tell me you know this?
even people who live in MA say theres nothing to do in MA...they like it that way of course and theres nothing wrong with it...but theres no comparison and it definitely has a tangible effect on sports tv ratings
I hear Kansas has lovely Beaches

i'd like to know what these "things to do" are. i've lived in cities on the east coast, west coast and ma. philly, seattle, kc. was in sd on 2 seperate occasions for at least 1 month and right now i live less than an hour from la. also spent plenty of time in st louis and dallas.
from all of that i can tell you that city life, regardless of where that city is located, is pretty much the same. obviously there are differences, but those differences are mostly culteral and/or tourist related.
obviously you can't see the statue of liberty in kansas city but you can't see the negro league hof in nyc either.
btw....the negro league hof is located in downtown kc. i'm sure you and mds are amazed that whitey allowed that to happen.
so seriously, tell me what you can do in a major coastal city that you can't do in an ma city......besides go to the beach.
the people who live in ma and have nothing to do are the people in ma that live in small rural towns out in bfe. i suppose that's got to be completely different than living in some farm community in central pa or upstate new york. but at least those guys are in the eastern time zone so i guess that makes all the difference.
neither of you ever have, and probably never will venture to some of the smaller cities located between the coasts. on one hand, it's sad because you'll just allow your ignorance and preconceived notions on the matter to keep perpetuating thoughts of corn fields and cow tipping......like any of that crap actually happens in an ma city.
on the other hand it's a good thing that most people from the coasts like you 2 will never venture far enough inland to experience places like kc or minneapolis. it helps keep the property values up, the cost of living down and the lines at the bar short.
i really don't even know why i bothered getting involved in this discussion to begin with. i'll get a "didn't read" from igy and then whatever mds follows up with, i'm sure it will be spelled terribly.
farg it.

lol ghetto ass phillie fans the only ones there
btw how do you not walk utley there...gonzalez is definitely worse than charlie
and now they walk bako???
what the hell is going on
The chances of choke dog hitting into a double play in that instance are at least 50/50. No way do I pitch to Chase with a bag open.
And then they intentionally walk Bako to get to the All-Star and Werth makes them pay.
Too funny.
that was a travesty of managing that i havent seen in a long time and my team is managed by uncle chuck
the bako walk was basically gonzalezs way of saying please fire me i dont want to manage anymore
I chalked this up as a loss as soon as the Marlins tied it in the 8th.
It's scare time
marlins try to fire up the "crowd" by playing green acres
Lidge looks horrendous right now. He has no command of his fast ball whatsoever.
Meh - they got the win, though.
Yay.
yeah is there such thing as a disgusting win
And by the way... the people who work the booth at the stadium in Miami aren't real bright. At the Eagles/Dolphins game in 2003 they tried to fire up the crowd by playing the theme from Rocky.
Seriously.
this is one of those games where you can say the manager directly lost it...funny thing is the press in miami wont even question either move...if it was philly boston or ny the manager might get fired
Possibly because the press in Miami barely acknowledge the Marlins' existence. Or perhaps because the quality of sports writing down there is on the little guy's level.

whos the little guy?

In over 2370 plate appearance in the Majors Bako had been IBB'd a grand total of 34 times until tonight. Werth has more home runs this season than Bako has had in over 10 years in the big leagues.
I think you might be onto something about the manager trying to get his ass fired.

Werth's career OPS vs RHP is .758, Bako's is .637.
This year Werth is .771 vs RHP and Bako is .624.
Really can't overstate how epically terrible a move that was.
Thanks, Freddie G!
I had the Marlins feed and they really didn't say much about it. Although Conine and whoever the PBP guy was couldn't figure out why Ibanez was taken out. How about some research into the fact he was out for 3 weeks with a groin injury and coming back to play on wet grass doesn't mean good things.
Madson = scared
Durbin = broken jugs machine
I knew as soon as the rain started and they said King had 65 pitches as soon as they came back from delay the Fishies would tie the game. Momentum swing getting Hamels outta there. Why do Paulino and Wes Helms continually kill the Phillies? They are bums.
Bako's the 25th guy on the roster and Werth is an all-star. Every manager makes "gut" calls now and then but this guy did it twice in one inning and got burned both times.
He lost that game for them, plain and simple.

THey win the games that they bust ass on and then they win games that are handed to them on a silver platter by the opposing teams' manager.
A win is a win is a win.
They're not all going to be pretty and if they can win on the days where they suck, even better.

the rocky theme and/or the opening to eye of the tiger gets played at almost every stadium for every sport. a lot of times the crowd does get pumped up by it but not nearly the same as it does in philly. i really don't think the rest of the country makes the connection between the songs and the city.

You'd have to think that getting Halladay would almost certainly make them a lock to win another Series. The thing is, though, the Phillies have just the sort of sordid history of choking away golden opportunities that would turn that "lock" on its ear. Hell, Philly in general has such bad sports juju that it might be the exact opposite of a lock for them to win if they got Halladay.
From the Phils MB:
QuoteHeyman just wrote that the Phillies and Blue Jays are to the point of discussing specific players. He said if we include Drabek we could end up with Halladay "real quick."
QuoteThe Phillies remain nearly everyone's favorite to land star Blue Jays pitcher Roy Halladay, and the teams are believed to have advanced to the point where they have discussed several of Philadelphia's top prospects -- including outfielder Michael Taylor, shortstop Jason Donald and pitcher Carlos Carrasco -- although, there's no evidence yet that the Phillies are relenting on top pitching prospect Kyle Drabek.
If Philly agrees to surrender Drabek, one competing executive said, "they might get (Halladay) real quick.''
But two more competing execs warned that they believe the Phillies would absolutely have to include Drabek -- a dynamic talent who impressed in the Futures Game -- to have any chance to land Halladay. If they're going to trade Halladay, "they've got to get the Phillies' best prospect,'' one American League exec insisted.
Beyond that, a package of Taylor (recently promoted to Triple-A in what looks like an obvious showcase), Donald and Carrasco is, according to another AL executive, woefully short. Plus, other baseball people seem to view outfielder Dominic Brown as Philly's second best prospect after Drabek. Phillies GM Ruben Amaro suggested 10 days ago that Drabek may be untouchable, though more recently he's tempered that remark slightly to say that he won't publicly disclose which prospects they might consider trading.
As a team with the publicly stated desire for a front-of-the-rotation starter, the wherewithal to acquire a star and a decent batch of prospects, the Phillies still appear to be the most logical landing spot, especially after Halladay himself talked about the National League in his remarks at the All-Star Game. Though some still question whether longtime club president David Montgomery will ultimately want to surrender their prime prospects plus spend the money, which amounts to about $23 million through 2010, especially with the club threatening to run away with the NL East, as is.
Jays G.M. J.P. Ricciardi, while suggesting no prospects have been absolutely ruled off limits by any interested teams so far, told SI.com in a phone interview, "I understand each team has certain restrictions. If a team doesn't want to move a player, I understand that. But it probably lessens the opportunity to (make a deal) with that team.''
Since when is Kyle Drabek the second coming of Cy Young?
Christ - if that's all that it takes then farging do it already.
Do it.
Do it now.
no wait, the future...lol
I was originally against Drabek being included....but now I'm all for it.
Nothing is a given and normally these deadline deals are all in favor of the selling team. But when its a guy who still has a lot left in the tank, who they have under control and could sign long term...you get the deal done.
This is the guy who you sell the farm for. Not some shteinbag like Jason Marquis or some of the slop Ed Wade used to sell the house for.
Exactly. There's a reason you have a farm system and although you don't typically want to give your best prospect away you frigging do it when what you're getting in return is one of the best players in the game.
Drabek, Taylor, John Kruk's remaining nut... give it all up. Get Halladay.
Drabek's a deal breaker for me, unless you're giving just him up and not Taylor. I want Halladay as much as the next fan but you gotta be realistic. There aren't many teams that can give up what the Phils can and that are willing to take on his salary...not to mention are contenders. If 7 years ago we had said who cares trade Utley/Howard/Hamels they're just 'prospects' we'd be killing ourselves right now.

No one in the system should be a deal breaker.
We're talking ACTUAL Cy Young contender....for POSSIBLE major league pitcher.
In 4 years, when Drabek or Taylor will matter, the Phillies will be a shell of what they are now.
Take the 2-3 years that Halladay will give you #1 in the Rotation and win another (or 2) championships.

7 years ago imagine if they had traded Utley and Hamels because they were unknowns. That point makes no sense considering at one time or another every major league player has been an unproven minor leaguer. And again, I'm fine with dealing Drabek or Taylor, just not both.
if seven years ago they were defending champs and a pitcher away from repeating then utley and hamels can be looking for vip maple leaf tickets
haha so true
halladay is dominate in the AL just image what hell be in the nl. look at what cc did. halladay is much better than that fat tub of goo and the phils are a better team than those MA fools.
just imagine if pedro is taking his steroids, how can that rotation not them into the series?
there are no untouchables.
i think part of the sentiment to be cautious is that Halladay has played in Toronto his whole career. It's the AL and it's Canada so people aren't quite as sure about him. but if this was Maddux in his prime, everybody would be saying to give up the farm.
Relax, Pat Gillick is on this motherfarga...
From the Toronto paper...
QuoteThe Phillies are one of several clubs believed to be interested in acquiring Halladay with the July 31 no-waiver trade deadline 11 days away. Gillick – the former Blue Jays general manager who left in 1994, a year after Toronto drafted Halladay out of Arvada West High School outside Denver – was overheard in the press box discussing the severity of the pitcher's groin ailment with Toronto team physician Ron Taylor.

:-D
evidently its come down to drabek. if hes included in its a go.
If Drabek is seriously all they're asking for, then goddamn it when's the frigging press conference?
Drabek, Taylor, Donald, Carrasco is what i think goes
I think your face goes.
corrasco sucks
donald is blocked by utley and jrol
taylor looks like the real deal
drabek could be good, could be a bust, could blow his arm out
roy halladay is the best pitcher in baseball.
4 question marks for an ace. hmmmm.
donald sucks too
that trade is basically drabek and taylor
and no dominic brown
get it done
a lot of people who know shtein about shtein say that Knapp can be just as good or better than Drabek, he's just younger
interesting buster olney perspective.....
Jays must trade Halladay now
A whole bunch of baseball people traveled to Toronto this weekend to watch Roy Halladay pitch, as Ken Fidlin writes. It's a sure sign of a robust market for Halladay -- a seller's market, perhaps, a market in which the Blue Jays can set a price and stick to it.
But if the folks in the Toronto front office took some time to review the events that followed the 2007 season, they could reach only one conclusion: If they want to make the best possible deal for Halladay, they must trade him in the next 12 days. If they don't make a deal before July 31, they may wind up with much less than what they can get now from the Phillies, Angels or Dodgers.
In the fall of 2007, Johan Santana was 28 years old, four years younger than Halladay is today. Like Halladay, he had one year left on his contract, and like Halladay, he was armed with a no-trade clause, which essentially allowed him to dictate where he would be traded and naturally limited the market for him. His excellence also limited the teams that might have made offers for him to the Twins. Small-market and midmarket teams such as the Marlins and the Indians knew they couldn't afford him, so they didn't get involved in the bidding.
The Twins waited for the bids to improve, but lo and behold, they didn't. A robust market for Santana never developed. Neither the Yankees nor the Red Sox ever fully engaged the Twins because both front offices were reluctant to part with a major package for a pitcher who was on the verge of free agency. The Red Sox and Yankees determined that they didn't want to absorb the double-barreled cost of a prospect and a big-money contract. The Angels and Dodgers were never serious, either.
In the end, this is what the Twins wound up taking for the best pitcher on the planet:
• Carlos Gomez, who in his third year in the big leagues remains a project. At age 23, he is hitting .242 with a .296 on-base percentage. Those numbers could improve, but if they don't, he probably will be a candidate for a non-tender contract in the winter of 2011.
• Philip Humber, who was taken off the Twins' 40-man roster earlier this season after allowing 11 hits and three walks in 4.1 innings.
• Kevin Mulvey, who recently was summoned from Triple-A Rochester, where he went 3-6 with a 3.93 ERA.
• Deolis Guerra, a right-hander who is now 20 years old and struggling in Double-A.
There is still time for Gomez, Mulvey and Guerra to develop, but right now, it does not appear that the Twins got even one rock-solid piece for Santana.
The consensus among the peers of Minnesota GM Bill Smith was that he had been placed in an incredibly difficult position during his first months on the job and that in hindsight, he probably waited too long to make a deal. The Yankees briefly offered pitcher Phil Hughes in a package in December of 2007, and in retrospect, rival executives said that probably was the best deal that Smith could've made. "But it was a tough call," one AL official said. "I mean, you're trading a Cy Young Award winner, and you're thinking that you should get more than that. But everything was working against him."
If the Jays wait, Halladay's value will steadily decline for all the reasons Santana's value dropped. If the Jays wait, circumstances will impede Halladay's value. If he's traded in the winter, rather than within the next 12 days, the team that acquires him will have Halladay for only one pennant race rather than two. He'll be 33 next season rather than 32 at a time when teams are increasingly leery of age. He'll be just one season away from free agency rather than two.
So long as Brian Cashman remains in power as GM of the Yankees, they almost certainly will not bid seriously for Halladay in a trade because of his impending free agency and what it will cost them in prospects. The Red Sox love Halladay as everybody loves Halladay, but they won't overpay to get him for 2010 because they already will face a contractual decision on Josh Beckett, who will be eligible for free agency after next season. They have no idea how well Daisuke Matsuzaka will pitch for them in the years ahead, which will make them less inclined to consider trading Clay Buchholz.
The Mets would love to have Halladay, but they don't have the kind of prospects the Jays are seeking (just as the Twins were never enamored with the Mets' prospects in a possible Santana trade until it was clear that the Mets were the best available option). The Dodgers won't want to part with Clayton Kershaw or Chad Billingsley now or in the near future, and the Angels don't have premium pitching prospects at the top of their farm system. The White Sox and Cubs might re-engage in talks with the Jays during the winter, but the White Sox already are focused on getting younger pitchers, and the Cubs may soon have to make that a priority, given the age of the club.
Virtually all the small-market and midmarket teams won't consider proposing a Halladay deal because of the enormousness of his next contract. As a free agent, Halladay probably will be able to get $15 million to $20 million a season, and although his trade value might sink, his ability will make his value as a free agent recession-proof. If Halladay becomes a free agent in the fall of 2010, that's when the Red Sox and the Yankees will bid aggressively.
The Jays don't want to be in the same position the Twins were in. If they let those trade talks drag on, their entire offseason will be filled with conversation about how and why the Jays are dealing their best player. (The Padres can testify to how this can drag down a team's ticket sales after the winter-long Jake Peavy discussions.)
If the Jays know they won't be able to re-sign Halladay after the 2010 season -- and the guess here is that Halladay already has indicated to the Jays, respectfully and without any demands, that he won't stick around if the team won't spend money -- they should swallow hard and make the best deal they can right now. Most likely, that will be with the Phillies.
Because history tells us that the quality of the offers they get for Halladay will only go down.
The best 4 prospects in the Phils organization are Drabek, Brown, Taylor, Knapp. Knapp may have the greatest upside, he's only 19, is 6'5 230, and already has a good 97 mph fastball. Carrasco, Donald, Savery, Marson, Carpenter, basticho, d'arnaud, etc. are very solid prospects that have a chance to develop into good players.
The Phillies do seem to have a knapp for acquiring farm system talent these days.
I don't know how many other people caught this but Amaro said "we've been talking to 15 teams other than the Blue Jays...and we've talked to the Jays about other players than Halladay". I was thinking, what if Feliz is part of a deal and they bring Rolen back. He's having a great year, and the Jays may want to shed some salary. His deal also runs out the same year as Halladays. Just food for thought.

Ha. That's great.
That would work too.
They need to get rid of funholelett. I know he's a jack of all trades fielder and fills a need on the basepaths but he can't hit for shtein.
mayberry too....hes pathetic
btw matt stairs has one less homer than david wright this year

Why was fargudome playing so far in?

I am so pissed off when I hear Michael Taylor's name. I had a chance to see him out here when he played in the Hawaii Winter League last year and kick myself in the ass for not going to any games. People who saw him play said he was a phreak.
Damn. Rolling.
When this team gets any sort of pitching they're pretty much unbeatable.
Myers could return in mid-August according to CSN.
But if he returns, its to the BP, not the rotation.
myers always wanted to be in the pen. with lidge and madson shakin like muhammed ali, that would be a nice pick up.

and lol @ those mediocre MA teams being legit.
The ESPN crew, and others to be fair, were really hyping the fact that Happ has to be part of the deal with Drabek and Taylor.
Do you include Happ? Was Pedro signed due to the potential foresight by that smacked ass Amaro that he would have to include Happ in a Halladay deal and he's hoping for a rotation of:
Halladay
Hamels
Moyer
Blanton
Martinez
With Rodrigooooooo being the guy who steps in when Moyer has to be put down?
2 weeks ago i'd probably have been all about happ being dealt. but he continues to have quality starts and actually get to 7th inning to help save the pen a little. if it came down to it, and happ was a must have on the part of the jays, then i guess i'd be down for it. but if they're giving up several top prospects, then i'd prefer they hold on to happ.
No chance drabek happ and Taylor are all in the deal.

you do it no matter what
you cant go into a short series say against the giants and have a hamels - happ 1-2 vs lincecum - cain
halladay literally changes everything so you give everything to get him if you must
Happ MIGHT be a flash in the pan rookie.
Happ MIGHT be worse off once the league sees him one or 2 times around.
Happ MIGHT be a Cy Young winner in the future.
________________________________________
Halladay IS a Cy Young Winner
Yes, you include Happ.
Get Matt Holliday!
holla!
nm
Apparently the Phils are not going to include Drabek in any package for Halladay, according to SportsCenter.
SI was the source of that news. The Toronto Sun is subsequently reporting the Jays GM as saying that it's unlikely that there will be a Halladay trade at this point.
man what a great bunt
man that 3rd pitch slider was hanging so beautifully if anyone but chooch is up it gets destroyed
7 IP for Blanton tonight. 1 earned run, no walks... where the farg is this pitching coming from all of a sudden?
The management should threaten these guys with the potential of adding a Cy Young winner to the rotation every year.
ha...unreal
That pitch to Howard was a farging ankle biter.
And yeah, that shtein with Lidge was unreal.

Chan Ho farging Park is lights out from the bullpen. Go figure.
Fargin awesome game, kept my boy up to see that ending. He went nuts when that hit went out!
fastest game ever
Section 113, row 3 today...holla bitches
Don't hate the game... hate the SunMo.
ick, come on Moyer.
they should never ever start moyer against a good pitcher since the only chance he has at winning is if the phils score a crapload of runs
except when they play the Marlins.
Time to Old Yeller his ass.
5-0 now.
Hurry up and pull the trigger on Halladay, Amaro.
TMac "Jamie just having one of those days"
Yeah, it happens all too often.
he's having one of those points in his career. its called the finishing point.
Rally time!!
Bases loaded with no outs.
Come on, Jimmy
wow mayberry with a hit off of a right hander. and pedros horrible base running strikes twice in a row.
had to lose a game at some point
Time for a 3R bomb....whaddya say, Utley?
Utley says, watch this as I hack at the slider at my feet and kill a fan with my bat.
he looked like choke on that one.
Alright, Pedro.
5-3 now
2 back. i hope zambrano pops a blood vessel through his face.
home plate umpire is a farging blind and a bitch.
Dan Iassogna has always been one of the worst. He's got that Napoleon complex, a terrible strike zone and a quick ejection trigger.
That ball was dirty as hell. But Bako would have probably K'd on the next pitch anyways.
Keep chipping away.
Hopefully the new Mr. Gas, Chad Durbin, can keep them off the board
So much for that, Durbin. You farging suck.
3 walks and a double.
Go kill yourself.
you have issues my friend
theyve won 10 in a row. this had to happen at some point.
especially moyer vs zambrano....what do you want?
now if they lose to the awful padres tomorrow then flip out
durbin and moyer and pieces of shteins. who can tell the difference.
bring in ibanez. its salami time.
I thought that was gone when it left Feliz's bat
There's nothing gayer in baseball than Soriano's little jump before he catches a ball.

I chalked this up as a guaranteed loss. That they made it a game was a bonus.
the best thing that could happen to this team right now is to have a few consecutive poor outings by the starting pitching. after the last 10 games i'm sure management cooled a bit on wanting/needing haliday, thinking that the pitching had sorted itself out. maybe after another poor performance or 2 it will light a little fire under amaro's ass to get a deal done.
SunMo in attendance = guaranteed abortion.
seems that way
i left after the 6th to give them a shot, but that didn't even work.
i learned a lesson about taking my girls to a day game in July, all they did was whine about the heat. my son on the other hand, kept telling them to shut up and watch the game....classic

Toronto scouts were in attendance. Pretty sure the Phils are willing to part with Drabek, just not both him and Taylor. Toronto was probably scouting him to see if he's worth it.
Get it done because I can't watch another game like Moyer's yesterday.
if you think about the whole "window" thing
you have your starting 8 core and most of your staff under control for the next few years. if you get halladay, and give up drabek and taylor, it's not like there would be anywhere for them to crack the starting lineup anyway in the next few years. that's why knapp and brown are more valuable.
a halliday/hamels combo at the top of the rotation makes my sack tingle.
i hear that myers would rather return to the pen. if that's the case, do they trade lidge in the offseason or put myers back in the rotation?
myers contract is up after this year.

I'd trade Drabek but to say there's no spot for him is just wrong.
Hell if rube can get halladay without giving up DrAbek it wouldn't surprise me if he became our closer sometime next year.
right, the phillies are that serious about some prospect who they want to be the friggin closer

Romero, Durbin on DL
By Andy Martino
Inquirer Staff Writer
The Phillies' bullpen, one of the team's strengths last season, suffered two more setbacks yesterday when the team placed J.C. Romero (strained left forearm) and Chad Durbin (strained latissimus) on the 15-day disabled list. (The latissimus muscle is under the shoulder blade.)
In the retards defense you ask anyone whose ever worked out what body part they did, their response might be: bi's, tri's, delts, lats, traps, quads, pecs, ham's, abs, etc. and you'd know what they were talking about.
Buster Olney of ESPN is reporting Halladay is a Phillie.

It's just Olney speculating but he did say it's a done deal.
When I see him standing next to Ruben wearing a Phils jersey I'll believe it.
Olney said it's close and Toronto gave the phils a list of people they want.
Apparently the twitter translation is what Rome posted. farg twitter.
If that's true then I'm thrilled we got him, but pissed they lost Drabek and Brown, both guys are going to be good players in this league. I would have rather of given up Happ than Drabek. How does the rotation work now (assuming it's a done deal)
Halladay

Blanton

Make the deal.
I hesitate to give up Happ, but its Halladay.
They do not compare. JA Happ could be Pat Combs twenty years later. Young LH who starts undefeated and goes down hill. Or he could be Andy Pettite like Stark compares him to, but even if that is the case you get Roy effing Halladay for this year and likely 3 more years on an extension.

Sorry bro. Anyone who ever took high school biology would know that, even a failed product of the Delaware public school system like Munson.
A chimp would be able to hear "lattissimus dorsi" and be able to figure out that "lat" is the common shortened form.

Ricciardi is more arrogant than Amaro. No wonder the fans up there can't stand him. I heard one of his interviews and I wanted to reach through the screen and grab him by his neck. The deadline passes without a trade and Halladay's value gets cut in half. He's worth more now than he ever will be.

yup. look at what the twins got in return for santana after they opted not to trade him mid season and waiting until the offseason to move him. the mets got him for a song.
halliday now is going to give a team 2 post season appearances. halliday after the season only gives them 1 shot barring an extention.
this thing is gonna drag out to july 31. its not like theres a big bidding war or its a position player who can step in right away. the phils are really it for halladay and they really only need him for 2-3 starts in october. i wonder how much itll cost to get him on loan for the postseason.
they can easily win the nl east without him. so this is really for a friggin month. but its worth it.

Think I saw the same interview. Guy is a prick. I hope Tronto gets farged in this deal.
Highlight of the game was that fan's throw of Ankiel's upper deck shot.
How ironic they were on the subject of Halladay as that ball was blasted out.
HOLY farg!!!!!

VIVA HAWAII!!!!!!!
wtf was that thing warming up in the Cards bullpen :paranoid
wow choke actually looked safe there. of course when we come back from break McCarver will claim he was out by a mile.
Was Choke safe or are my eyes going?
OH MY GOD!!! McCarver called him safe!! Love ya Tim.

Quote1 Dead In Fight Outside Citizen's Bank Park
PHILADELPHIA (CBS 3) ― One person was killed Saturday evening following a fight that ensued in the parking lot near Citizen's Bank Park.
According to police, the fight started around the end of the Phillies and Cardinals game Saturday evening at McFadden's bar and sprawled into parking lot 'M' across the street.
A 22-year-old male was badly beaten and transported to the Hospital at the University of Pennsylvania where he was later pronounced dead. Another male involved in the fight was injured and taken to Methodist Hospital where he is listed in good condition.
There is no report on what started the fight or if any charges will be filed, Homicide detectives remain on scene conducting an investigation.

QuoteSource: Phils counter with Carrasco, Donald
By Ray Parrillo and Jim Salisbury
INQUIRER STAFF WRITERS
As trade negotiations between the Phillies and Toronto continued today, the Phillies were trying to steer the Blue Jays toward a package led by pitcher Carlos Carrasco, infielder Jason Donald and others in their attempt to acquire righthander Roy Halladay, sources with knowledge of the negotiations said.
On Thursday, the Jays asked for pitchers Kyle Drabek and J.A. Happ and outfielder Dominic Brown, but the Phillies think that's too high a price. They don't want to deal both pitchers, according to a baseball source.
Drabek, a 21-year-old righthander, is the club's top pitching prospect. Brown, 21, is regarded as the top position player in the Phillies' system. Happ, a 26-year-old rookie, is 7-1 after suffering his first loss of the season Friday night.
The negotiating process for Halladay is still in the early stages, the sources said.
The non-waiver trade deadline is 4 p.m. Thursday.
Meanwhile, the Phillies will continue pursuing a backup plan, with a representative in Seattle tomorrow to scout Cleveland lefthander Cliff Lee.
The Phillies have been considered the front-runners to acquire Halladay. Other teams mentioned in the bidding for the Toronto ace are the Yankees, who had a representative at the Rogers Centre on Friday night for Halladay's start; the Red Sox; Angels; Dodgers; Brewers; Rays, and White Sox.

exactly. What the farg is WRONG with him?
Can't wait for the "worst fans on earth" comment when it was probably nothing to do with baseball or the actual fans. Just a few random drunk fargs getting in a fight.
Julio Lugo said he was "scared for his life" because he thought he was going to be shot when he saw the laser pointer. Um...they why the farg didn't you step out of the batters box and SAY something when it happened? Douche.
The overreaction from McCarver & Dick Stockton was hilarious. I especially loved the "coward" comment from McCarver. Ummm... coward? No. Dumb ass? Sure. The only disappointing thing about the whole ridiculous fiasco was that they didn't bring up snowball & Santa Claus although Stockton repeatedly brought up the Philly Booing thing, as if no other fans in the world boo.
And LOL @ Amaro's counter-offer. Did he intern under Joe Banner?
they actually won a game that I was at! of course somebody died, but that's not as bad as a phillies loss
Spring training losses are worse.
I just checked my e-mail and this is what I got this morning from the Phillies...

Nice, we might be east coasters, but we grew up without lifeguards telling us what we weren't allowed into, thus we learned how to handle big surf.
Good win again.
corrasco gave up 6 runs in 6 innings over the weekend. how can someone be washed up without reaching the majors?
and wasnt corrasco in drabeks place three years ago? everyone going off how hes the next this and untouchable and bla bla. now they cant give that mexican away. but god no we cant trade drabek for friggin roy halladay. hes going to be too good. iceholes.
You're exactly right. Carrasco was the next best thing. Just like Gavin Floyd was too. Even if Drabek turns into Floyd, I'm cool with giving up him for ROY EFFING HALLADAY!!
Gargano on FOX29 Morning....totally dropped a "we" when talking about Halladay. He caught himself about halfway through and tried to play it off.

Phils fans: The new Broad Street bullies?
By ST. JOHN BARNED-SMITH
Philadelphia Daily News
sbarned-smith@phillynews.com 215-854-5926
Here we go again.
A rowdy weekend at Citizens Bank Park - punctuated by the killing of a fan in a brawl - marred the Phillies' two wins over the Cards this weekend and dealt another blow to the reputation of Philadelphia sports fans.
David Sale Jr., 22, of Lansdale, was beaten to death in a parking lot near the stadium following a dispute in McFadden's restaurant in the Citizens Bank Park complex.
In addition to that tragedy, there was a simmering controversy over spectators who targeted five Cardinals' players with laser pointers late in Saturday's game.
According to MLB.com, during the seventh inning an unidentified individual targeted Julio Lugo and Albert Pujols with a green laser that resulted in a game delay as stadium officials searched for the errant laser-flashing fan. An inning later, another laser pointer - this one red - was used to target three other Cardinals.
Cards fans weren't happy.
"This was very unfair to the Cardinals," one commenter wrote on the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Web site. "It is pretty bad when fans from the host city treat their visitors this way."
"I saw the dots on the chest," another fan wrote. "It never stops surprising me how ignorant [Philly] fans are. They have definitely earned the rep they have. In the world we live in now, for them to do that, is just absolutely stupid.".
It was a new chapter in Philadelphia sports fans' bad behavior over the years - overhyped, in the eyes of many locals - highlighted by the batteries thrown at J.D. Drew in 1999 and the infamous booing of Santa Claus in 1968.
The weekend incidents irritated Jim Vance and his wife, Janice, of Camden County, New Jersey.
"They took laser pointers away from kids in school, they should take them away here," Vance said. "As far as McFadden's [and the killing], that's Philly. It's going to happen sooner or later."
"I wouldn't expect to see that in a Phillies game - maybe in an Eagles or Flyers game," said Bill Barker, 31, of South Philly.
Carlos Sanchez, 21, of North Philadelphia, is an avid Phillies fan, but he was appalled by the use of laser pointers yesterday.
"How can you point a laser at 'The Machine,' Albert Pujols?" he asked. "It's so disrespectful - he's one of the best players in the game!"
Meanwhile, Dwayne Knight, 26, and Christy Skillman, both of Norristown, expressed disbelief over Sale's death.
"I don't know if people get too drunk and don't know any better, or it's just pure ignorance," Knight said.
"It makes us [Phillies fans] look like a bunch of drunken idiots . . . it gives us a bad name," Skillman, 26, said.
Other fans worried about the consequences of the incidents.
"It's a shame - it makes people not want to come down here," said Brian Danks, 39, of Northeast Philadelphia.
"Would you want to come down here if someone got beat up there the night before," he asked. "Especially if you were from outside of the city?"
But the laser pointers, at least, weren't unique to Philadelphia. Gary Cederstrom, crew chief of the umpires, told MLB.com that this season umpires had encountered laser pointers in St. Petersburg and Los Angeles, and in San Diego last year. *
now it all makes sense....

Three men could be charged with murder today in the Saturday night beating death of a young man in the parking lot of Citizens Bank Park.
David Sale's death was the very violent end to a fight that began in a bar inside the ballpark late in the Phillies-Cardinals game, according to police.
The argument started between two groups -- a bachelor party and a bar tour from Fishtown. They all got kicked out of McFadden's Restaurant and the arguing turned physical in parking lot "M" at 7th Street and Pattison Avenue.
Sale, 22, of Lansdale, Pa., was with the bachelor party. The Lansdale man was held down by at least two men and kicked repeatedly in the head by a third man, officials said. When police arrived at the scene, Sale was "unresponsive." He was pronounced dead at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania around 7 p.m. Saturday.
what do you expect when you have a bar tour from Fishtown
you dont even a need a bar tour...back in the day a friend of mine moved to fishtown and the first week he lived there he got a knock on his door opened it and someone punched him in his face and just ran away
:-D
For real? That's funny.
100% real
people from fishtown dont like people not from fishtown...admittedly it has changed somewhat since then with the gentrification that is going on there and of course nolibs....but its still a hell hole
jesus...bar fights happen where people get severely injured everywhere.
Yes, its a Philly thing.
:-o
severely injured?
and its a fishtown thing
Quote
The Blue Jays will be playing in Oakland this weekend while the Phillies will be playing the Giants in San Francisco. The Hotel Nikko could be a hot spot, as both the Jays and the Phils will be staying there.
Imagine, Halladay could get traded to a new team in a different league and not even have to switch hotel rooms.
Quote
Also, while the Phillies' strong preference was to acquire Halladay, they were expected to send superscout Charley Kerfeld to watch 2008 American League Cy Young winner Lee pitch for Cleveland in Seattle yesterday. Lee worked seven innings, allowing six hits, two runs and no walks. He struck out four and lowered his ERA to 3.14 to get the win as Cleveland cruised, 12-3. Lee improved to 7-9.
Halladay is due $15.75 million next season, but Lee is owed just the remainder of his $5.75 million salary this year and a $9 million club option for next year - a very affordable contract for a top pitcher.
Baseball sources believe that a package of second-tier prospects like pitcher Carlos Carrasco and infielder Jason Donald might be sufficient to pry Lee from Cleveland.
i heard that the indians aren't as hard up to trade lee though, so it would actually take just as much or even more to convince them to trade him
of course cleveland isn't hard up to trade him. they have a cy young winner for less than 6mil. even small market cleveland can afford that.
i barely heard of cliff lee before last season too. i knew who he was but never thought of him as a top notch pitcher. my concerns with him is that he's a "flash in the pan" type pitcher rather than a long term great like halliday.
btw....i'll be at the game in frisco thursday. gotta take my kids back home so we're stopping in sf along the way. might have to swing by the hotel nikko while we're there.
The notion of Cleveland trading Donald and Carrasco for Lee is absurd. That deal is done yesterday if that's the case. Lee as a backup plan is fine by me.
agreed that it's a good back up plan, but if the phils end up with lee it would still be extremely disappointing.
if the phils land halliday, you start planning another parade.
if the phils end up with lee, well......it's better than nothing.

Really? I mean, the guy was 22-3 last season on a crappy team. His numbers this year aren't cy young worthy but he's starting to turn it on. If it means keeping Drabek/Brown/Taylor it might be worth it. Ricciardi is a stubborn icehole and at this point I don't think his demands are gonna lower.

it was meant to illustrate the level of disappointment over not getting halliday, more than what i actually think of lee.
lee's a good pitcher but last year was an absolute freak year for him. he had one other year (2005) that i would consider an excellent year and he went 18-5. he'll probably never approach that type of success or dominance again.
he'd be a good addition but it's a major, major drop off from halliday.

no. RIF dookie. he had one freak year and one excellent year. in 05 went 18-5, which is very good but pales in comparison to last year. last year was borderline historic.

Philadelphia Police Homicide Unit Capt. James Clark said Monday, "There is some surveillance showing the altercation inside of the bar and some of it right outside of the bar. As far as the actual killing, we're still downloading a lot of video so we're not sure of that as of yet."
Clark said all three of the suspects were allegedly beating Sale.
"At first one of the individuals was holding him like in a headlock while the other two were beating him," Clark said. "He went down to the ground sort of on all fours, and then they started kicking him and stomping him until he went unconscious. And even after that, we have information they continued to kick and stomp him until he was motionless."
As for what started it all, Clark said, "It was over a spilled drink. Someone spilled a drink on someone, bumped into someone -- it was apparently very crowded in there. From there, it escalated into a war of words and a physical altercation. They were all ejected, and you had a beating and subsequent killing outside of the bar."
Police said it did appear Sale was involved somehow in the original bump and drink spilling.

Badness is right.
Madson and his usual antics will make this interesting.
Anyone listening to the Dbacks broadcast? Is Mark Grace still doing color? He may be the worst ever.
Does Madson have a tapeworm? Guy must weigh 110 max.
Other than Ho Chi Min the bullpen looks like shtein. farging Madson. :boom
Those suspects in the McFadden's beating look like a white supremacist lineup from one of those groups in northern Idaho. farging meatheads. Hope they like 20-30 years of massive cornholing.
Lidge looked very sharp there against the heart of the DBacks lineup.
good god
For all our complaining about Moyer, he has the most wins on the staff with 10.
Oh how the Phils need Halladay.
wins mean next to nothing with this offnese. i'm glad he turned magician and they pulled this win out espeically with the pitching they'll see in the next few days.. but moyers cooked. i really hope lidge is turning into a somewhat presentable pitcher again. even if he's not mr "lights out" lidge of last year.. just locate your fastball dude. when ho cheese is your best bullpen piece at the time, you can pretty much call that part of your team a weakness. get halladay.

Yeah, his avg last year was so strange. He was HUGE for the team, but you'd have never known by his average.
rank these in order and assign a % chance of happening to each one so that it totals 100%
holla traded to a team other than the phillies
holla traded to the phillies
holla not traded
Other team: 15%
Phillies: 45%
No trade: 40%
that looks pretty accurate but i think the odds of halladay staying put are better than either other scenerio.
other team: 10%
phils: 40%
no trade: 50%
toronto just doesn't seem to feel the actual need to trade him. and right now, the phillies (or any other team) need halladay a lot more than toronto needs to get rid of him.
I still think they probably deal him at the deadline.
I wonder what % people think there is that they'll get someone of relevance at the deadline, be it Lee, Duke, etc if the deal falls through.
if toronto deals him, then it's almost certainly to the phils. unless of course, amaro tries to get him on the cheap and toronto deals him to another team that's offering equal value, but still the top players in their farm.
what about picking up vernon wells' contract?
he has a fntc, but you could essentially pay his contract for him to stay in toronto. the phillies are printing money at the bank, im pretty sure they could afford it.
The Phillies owners never change their pinstripes. No way they take on Wells contract, from the looks of it Amaro had to fight with them to agree to take on Halladay's.
%60 Halladay isn't traded
%25 its to the Phils
%15 its to another team
For some odd reason I've always thought he'd end up on a team like the Angels.
the angels aren't willing to give up their middle infield for him, but they are willing to give up their absolute best prospects......which is why i think toronto will deal with them or another team willing to give up their top prospects rather than deal with amaro who isn't willing to do that.
i think it's basically a "respect" thing right now. what the phils are offering is just as good, if not better than what other teams are offering, except that the other teams are offering their top tier guys and the phils aren't.
myers looking to return to pen (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4360856)
i think it goes without saying that if myers is able to give them 1-2 innings at a time, that would really give cholly some nice bp depth. especially if you've got moyer and martinez in the rotation and neither is likely to give you more than 6 innings.
Who'd have thought that the Phils' system would be seen as one of the best?
I tend to lean towards SD's numbers, slightly adjusted:
60% not traded.
20% Phils
20% Other team
Teams most likely to jump in:
1. Red Sox (Dice-K out for who knows, Smoltz falling apart, etc.)
2. Angels (Need stopper)
3. Cubs (trying to outduel the Cardinals)
4. Yankees (because they're the F'n Yankees).
Tidbit to make Igy's head explode: Halladay is a Mormon. Maybe Andy Reid can threaten to eat Riccardi.
Why the Phils may get Halladay: Duh. Something about being the best pitcher in the league and repeating as World F'n Champions.
Why the Phils won't get Halladay: Doesn't this have the "I thought they'd come back to us for one more offer" excuse written all over it. That's what Amaro will be crying after Halladay is a member of the Boston Red Sox or Los Angeles Angels.
i still dont see Toronto willing to trade in the division to give them a player like Halladay.
Me either and the Sox aren't giving up Buchholz

this is probably the best the phils will get. i guess maybe something can still get done for halladay but i'm thinking that ship has sailed already. lee would still be a nice pickup but i'm not completely sold on him being an ace.
hamels, lee, moyer, blanton, pedro wouldn't be a bad rotation come playoff time.
it will be halladay
I wonder if the Phillies are going to dedicate this season to Jim Johnson?

Anyone else with the Arizona feed see Moyer talking the ear off of J.A. Happ during the 3rd inning. He's animated, and going on and on and on. Happ's just nodding away while Moyer keeps talking.

last year he gave up 15 runs the entire season...his era was under two and he struck out a ton

i would say last night was not EXACTLY like last year

ESPN insider is saying the Phils and Indians might be closing in on a deal for Lee. Prospects being mentioned are Knapp, Carassco, and others. I'd be thrilled with a deal that doesn't involve Drabek/Brown/Taylor. At this point Ricciardi can go farg himself.
Knapp is just as highly touted as Drabek, just younger and without TJ surgery I guess roooob likes Drabek more because he's closer

orioles want three prospects for him and they will pay some of his salary or two and you take the whole contract...but more than that they want a corner IF to be the centerpiece....phils have the worst corner IF prospects in the majors
i heard hes going to the dodgers
They may get a filler piece to the bullpen, much like Eyre last year, but I really think they'll ride out Lidge this season.
yeah of course they are....they owe it to lidge after what he did last year...come playoff time if hes gasoline then they might choose to go with madson or romero to close a particular game but they arent dealing for a closer to replace lidge
Somethings going down, Carrasco was scratched from his scheduled start tonight, and Taylor, Marson and Donald are out of the lineup for tonights game. My guess is a trade for Lee.

That wouldn't be too much to give up for Lee

QuoteSigns pointing to Cliff Lee deal?
By Jayson Stark
There were more indications Wednesday that the Phillies' pursuit of Indians pitcher Cliff Lee is heating up.
Three Cleveland scouts -- including the club's director of player personnel, Steve Lubratich, were in Lehigh Valley to watch the Phillies' Triple-A team play an 11 a.m. ET game.
Phillies starter Carlos Carrasco, who has been a subject of talks between the two teams, was abruptly scratched from his start in that game with no explanation from the club.
An official of a team that had been speaking to Cleveland about Lee told ESPN.com Wednesday morning it was his impression that Lee was about to be traded elsewhere, and the Phillies' discussions with Toronto about Roy Halladay have slowed to a trickle in the last 24 hours.
Phillies officials have continued to tell other clubs they believe they can make a deal for Lee without giving up either their top pitching prospect, Kyle Drabek, or their top position-player prospect, outfielder Dominic Brown.
Rumor floating around is Carrasco, Marson, and Donald for Lee. Can you say highway robbery if that's true.
Rumors are Donald, Carrasco, and Marson, for Lee, which would be a great pull letting them keep Taylor/Brown/Happ/Drabek.

He's everyones number one choice, but I think Ricciardi's demands are absurd. If you can get Lee - who's a damn good pitcher, makes way less money, and you keep the teams top prospects - then it's a great move.

QuotePhils' prospect at center of Lee talks — 11:10 a.m.
To trade Roy Halladay, the Blue Jays want the Phillies to part with both left-hander J.A. Happ and right-hander Kyle Drabek.
The Phillies might get Indians left-hander Cliff Lee without trading either pitcher.
Class A right-hander Jason Knapp is the centerpiece of the Phillies' offer for Lee, a major-league source says.
Knapp, who does not turn 19 until Aug. 31, is currently sidelined with shoulder stiffness, and much further away from the majors than Happ and Drabek.
One scout, however, says Knapp's upside is greater than Drabek's, calling the 6-foot-5, 215-pound righty a "Halladay clone."
The Phillies would need to add other quality prospects to obtain Lee. They are also in the mix for Mariners left-hander Jarrod Washburn
I'd rather give up Happ than Knapp. I could live with giving up Knapp considering he's probably 3-4 years away from the bigs as is.

Latest MLB buzz Trade buzz: What's going down as the MLB trade deadline draws near? Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi have all the latest news and notes.
The deal is pending a review of medical records.
Carrasco was scratched from his start for the Class AAA Lehigh IronPigs on Wednesday, and Donald and Marson were not in the lineup. It was not known whether Donald and Marson had scheduled off-days for an 11 a.m. start after a night game.
Talks remain fluid — the Phillies also are talking to the Mariners about left-hander Jarrod Washburn, and the Dodgers planned to make a "hard push" for Lee on Wednesday, according to a source.
But if the deal described by the source is accurate, the Lee trade would be a coup for both the Phillies and Indians.
The Phillies would be getting the reigning American League Cy Young Award winner for the rest of 2009 and '10 without giving up any of the three players the Blue Jays initially wanted for Roy Halladay — left-hander J.A. Happ, right-hander Kyle Drabek and outfielder Dominic Brown.
The Indians, meanwhile, would be getting four of the Phillies' top 10 prospects according to Baseball America's preseason rankings. Carrasco was rated second, Marson third, Donald fourth and Knapp 10th.
Knapp, who does not turn 19 until Aug. 31, is currently sidelined with shoulder stiffness, but one scout says his upside is greater than Drabek's, calling the 6-foot-5, 215-pound righty a "Halladay clone."
It is possible that the Indians could send the Phillies money in the trade to cover part of Lee's remaining salary — slightly less than $2 million this season, plus a $9 million club option for 2010.
Teams routinely include cash in deals to secure better prospects. The Phillies' payroll is a club-record $130 million, which is one reason the club has balked at a Halladay deal.

G W-L IP ERA K BB

Halladay is owed about $4.75 million this season and $15.75 million next year, and the Phillies did not want to give up their best prospects while assuming those salaries.
The Phillies, however, initially preferred Halladay to Lee because they already have three left-handers in their rotation — Cole Hamels, Jamie Moyer and Happ.
Lee won the AL's top pitching honor in 2008, going 22-3 with a 2.54 ERA and 170 strikeouts in 31 starts. He is 7-9 with a 3.14 ERA so far this season for the struggling Indians

Cliff Lee was getting high fives from teammates when they announced it.
thats awesome.
they were giving him high-fives and whispering, "take me with you...please"
gargano per one of his sources said the phils gave the blue jays one more chance and offered the same deal plus happ for halladay and the blue jays said no
Gargano was saying the deal wasnt final, then 3 minutes later came back with that explanation. Ricchardi refused to make a deal without Drabek.
get halladay too.
Hard to find any problem with this trade.
Mikey Miss just did, what a funhole he can be

hamels
lee
blanton
happ
moyer
pedro
one guy has to go the pen. pedro needs to at least get a start in him. moyer is old and mediocre. but the phils already jerked happ around before so why not again.
you have to give pedro 1 or 2 starts. id say let moyer take a breather on the dl and if pedro works out, bring him back in the pen. but that wont happen. noooo sir.
Tim Kurkijan "Well I think this makes the Phillies the clear favorites in the NL East". Thanks buddy.
you cant count pedro lil guy hes not even on the roster...you meant lopez who i assume will get sent down...i dont think hes bullpen material is he?
i wouldnt be suprised if pedro gets released after a minor league start

Didn't Pedro say the other day that he wouldn't mind being in the pen?
if pedro's ok with going to the pen then that seems like an ideal situation for him. he's not going to give you more than a few good innings anyway, why not bring him in for middle relief. and then he's there as a backup starter for when moyer breaks his hip.
LOL I think Marcus Hayes had a crush on Halladay. He's talking about how great the prospects were that were traded away.
LOL also at Cliff Lee not giving up a walk since july 10th.
cliff lee threw this pitch...

How in the farg does a pitch hit you between the eyes? That's farging awesome.
This trade rules. farg the Jays, the Phils got the reigning AL Cy Young winner for a song.
Cliff Lee has gone at least 6 innings giving up 3 or less runs in 15 of his last 18 starts.
:yay
Worst trade in history.

Think about this...
Hamels: Reigning World Series MVP
Cliff Lee: Reigning A.L. Cy Young Award Winner
Joe Blanton: Has pitched basically lights out the last two months.
Jay Z. Happ: Was undefeated until his last start. ERA under 3.00.
Jamie Moyer: Approaching 260 wins. Still capable of occasionally pitching a gem, although he'd be the first to go if push came to shove.
That is a formidable rotation, boys and girls. Plus they'll have a certain Hall of Famer ready to step in soon plus the wife-beater will be back in August. Oh, and their bullpen guys will all be back by then too.
The only downside to this move is that it takes attention away from the great and busy offseason the Sixers have been having.

The same could have been said about Halladay at Lee's point in his career.
Through first 8 seasons (I calculated these quickly, so there could be a mistake or two):
Roy HalladayERA 3.71
W-L% .647
IP 1116.1
SO 810
BB 299
Cliff Lee (8th season still in progress)ERA 4.02
W-L% .634
IP 1117.0
SO 826
BB 322
Halladay is definitely a better addition, but considering that the Phillies gave up 'Knapp & Crap' instead of touching Happ, Drabek, Taylor, Brown, and still got a great SP, I think this is a defensible move. They'll have the ammo to make another big move or two next year too, if they want to.
From Gammons:
"This next Indians generation will be built around Sizemore, Cabrera, Weglarz, LaPorta, Carlos Santana, Shin-Soo Choo, et al. When you are the Phillies, Yankees or Red Sox, you think about next year. When you're Cleveland or Tampa, you think, "next window." "
How sweet is it to be mentioned in a sentence like that?

some really out there insinuations in the middle of all that...lets just be happy they have a very formidible one two punch in any playoff series...beyond that hope blanton continues his miracle run happ doesnt turn into kendrick and moyer has a career ending injury next time out

ha. i'm still not completely sold on lee being a dominant mainstay in the mlb landscape like halliday, but all things considered, this was a great trade for the phils. even if he is a flash in the pan pitcher who only has a few dominating years, the phils will have him for at least the next 1.5 of them. so as long as this move translates into 1, if not 2 more titles, then it was a total ass raping by amaro.
the absolute worst (other than a career ending injury to lee) is that lee winds up being another cole hamels.....which isn't a bad thing. but that's basically the type of pitcher lee has been in his career prior to last year.
Quote from: ice grillin you on July 29, 2009, 09:59:02 PM

yes, now that the scouting reports are out on him should be interesting.
I'm not sold on Cliff Lee. They are LH-heavy in the rotation. Its nice to get someone, especially at that price, but I don't think he is a dominant guy like Halladay.
I still would have preferred Doc. I don't care about Ricciardi looking like a dolt...I wanted Halladay on my team. They should have given Toronto Drabek and Happ and been done with it.
QuoteEarly indications were that they were leaning toward bumping J.A. Happ and Rodrigo Lopez to the bullpen to make room for Lee and Pedro. But they'd rather be sorting all that out than contemplating what their prospective October rotation might look like without Cliff Lee.
From Stark...
So lemme get this straight; they are considering bumping JA Happ, a guy who they would not trade to Toronto, to the bullpen?
So basically Kyle Drabek was the ultimate untouchable. Amaro better hope the hype is right with this dude.

Phreak, scuttlebutt is that the Phils offered the package they traded to Cleveland plus Happ to Toronto, and they wouldn't take it.
Don't know if Drabek was the lone sticking point. I think they wanted him and Brown plus.
Seems like Riccardi was truthful all along that they wouldn't easily move Halladay. We'll see in a couple of days.

i wouldnt be suprised if pedro gets released after a minor league start
pedro gets factored in because they signed him to start him
lopez is an aaaa starter and will be lucky to be on the team in a month. they can trade him for a wild card prospect or make him the 7th man in the pen who cares.
it really comes down to when pedro is ready and if they want to move happ back. clearly they feel indebted to moyer, otherwise he would be the obvious choice to go.
thats why simply resting moyer for 2 weeks to give pedro 2 starts is a good idea. if pedro has something then you can discuss either moving happ to the pen or working moyer down to a mop up reliever. if pedro sucks then hes gone and moyer comes back like nothing happened.
Happ is not Kendrick. Take a look at their peripheral stats. Even when Kendrick was pitching well his H/9 and WHIP are much higher than Happ's and he strikes out far fewer hitters. In order to pitch to contact like Kendrick did, you need to have real control of your pitches. I don't think Happ is a top of the rotation starter, but I do think he has far more promise than Kendrick did.
Werthless piece of shtein. WTF was he swinging at?
2nd & 3rd no outs and nada :boom :boom :boom
Looked like a pitch that could best be described as an off speed pitch out. Good enough for strike 3 though.
One of those nights. A no-name, borderline major-leaguer had the Phils number again.
That was not strike three. Raul got hosed.

I suppose if Amaro's information was right in the sense that LA was hot on Lee's trail, then they had to pull the trigger and not wait on Ricciardi to decide what he wanted to do or to try and work him down.
But I can't shake the fact that Halladay was available and the Phillies were the front runners and if the sticking point was Happ and Drabek they could not get it done.

I understand that Phreak, but they ended up getting a Cy Young pitcher for not even one of the top 4 prospects, where JP wanted all 4 of the top 4. Riccardi screwed the pooch, and i'd love to see halladay go nowhere now.

I was fine with giving up Drabek, I just didn't want to give up Drabek, Brown, Taylor etc. If it had been say Drabek, Carrasco, Marson, Donald, you make that deal in a heartbeat.
i would have given up the entire system for halladay
but im happy with the lee deal
Would you rather have:
Lee
Brown
Happ
Drabek
or
Halladay
Knapp
Carrasco
Marson
Donald
For me an ace and 3 top 25 prospects is the better package.
Was it just me, or did they look like they hit a wall last night? Like the west coast timezone thing? Swinging at terrible pitches all night long. Just didn't seem to be "in" it from the start.

i dont know about hitting a wall...its not like they are at the end of a long trip...i think they saw a right hander with an era almost as high as lidges pitching and they thought they could go out there half ass it and score ten runs
perhaps, but I know after a couple of days on the opposite coast, jet lag sets in for me.
just sayin.
just plucked this blurb from the bottom of an espn.com article:
QuoteIn Lee's past three starts, he has pitched 25 innings, has allowed four earned runs and has not issued a single walk. If Lee can keep that up, the Phillies and Dodgers seem headed for another October get-together.
since the trade happened i've been looking a lot more closely at his career numbers and i'm becoming more and more impressed with him. looks like he's been mostly hampered by poor offensive production and/or a weak bullpen unable to close out games for him. so while he's obviously not roy halladay, he certainly seems to be a more consistant pitcher than i originally gave him credit for.
Props to Philly for making the move for Lee and giving up nothing.
farg you all! :boom :boom :boom
Down in AC last night some guy at the table insisted that the Phillies weren't done and Lee was going to be a piece in a trade for Halladay.
I found it interesting, but quickly shook him off as a crazy old fat dude.

w/ Halladay the playoff rotation would have been
Halladay
Hamels
Blanton
Moyer/Martinez/whoever
Instead it'll probably be
Lee
Hamels
Happ
Blanton
That, plus all the farm talent saved, plus all the contract money saved for future moves, plus the fact they got a RH bat...it's by far the better deal even if Lee isn't the better pitcher. Hopefully it works out as well on the field as it does on paper. This team is loaded up with talent.

Love the trade, especially not giving up Drabek, Taylor or Brown. They're going to need Drabek in 2 years when Lee, Blanton and Moyer are all gone in free agency and/or death...

Feed sucked, I got through 2 innings then said farg it.
Pedro got into major trouble in the fifth. He went 5 innings, gave up five runs. That's the bad news. The good news is that during the first four innings he was throwing mostly strikes and had good velocity on his pitches.
Lee Ks the first batter on 3 pitches
And a 1-2-3 first inning.

Lee's a farging pimp.
It would be nice if they could get him some runs. 0-10 with risp is pathetic.
yup
And there goes the no hitter
Damn...a no hitter in his first start would have been damn amazing
The second I even THOUGHT it, he gave up that hit. :evil :-\
These iceholes are 1 for their last THIRTY EIGHT with RISP.
Horrible
LOL at iceholes.
Phreak. Breathe.
Bout damn time
Damn Lee missed a HR by a foot. P-I-M-P
Looks like Lee is trying to teach them how to hit.
I guess the AL pitcher isn't having that much trouble adjusting to hitting...
This is great.
Lee gave up a run, he sucks. >:(
Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Matt Stairs in for "offensive production" against the likely Cy Young winner = brilliant. Paul Bako needs to learn how to apply a farging tag.
and one win tomorrow and they go 4-3 on a west coast road trip. how they lost those 3 games is irrelevant. they were gonna happen anyway.

yes indeed. read a stat that said he's pitched more games (9) of at least 8 innings without giving up an earned run than anyone else in mlb since 2007. that's incredible. not to mention that he's already at 191 k's for the year and still probably has about 7 or so starts left this year so he'll probably finish up somewhere around 250 k's on the year.
starting stairs and bako was farging dumb. watching them try and execute a that play at the plate was vomit inducing. no one in the league can hit lincecum what the hell is matt stairs gonna do for u.. or even worst.. bako. it was pretty much chalked up as a loss anyway with moyer being the original starter.. but its frustrating when they have chances to take out one of the best if not the best pitcher in the league. hopefully hamels steps up and tries to outshine lee.
Yeah, I can't believe they started their left handed hitting options over Johnny Bench Ruiz and his .223 average. WTF!!
neither one of them was going to hit lincecum is the point, at least ruiz resembles a major league catcher defensively. how many passed balls did bako have? 2 or 3. i honestly can't remember. anyways dobbs throwing to ruiz looks quite a bit better in that situation and i'd rather have dobbs bat in the lineup against lincecum over someone who swings for the fences every at bat.

Come playoff time, I don't give a rat's ass about Hamels' mental state. You start the pitchers most likely to win.

lee is the new ace and after watching him the the other day hamels should know that as well
I'm starting to think Hamels just can't handle any sort of adversity. Has he ever had a really bad stretch before?
He seems like a super-wuss.
lol the guy is a world series/playoff mvp but cant handle adversity?
hes so cal at its heart so hes never gonna be street tough but the real problem is that he just isnt an ace and is overrated by many phillie fans....know that hes a number two type guy and he wont make you that upset
FIne, a #2 guy doesn't whine, bitch and moan after every hit he gives up.
i remember a game last year in chicago that he pitched well then madson and durbin gave up 30 runs in the 8th inning and that was it. cole stormed out of the clubhouse like a farging twatface baby.
but when he blows a 2 or 3 run lead to the friggin giants its no big deal. hes a farging baby.

If you win a WS MVP, then you earn the right to be the game one starter the following postseason.
If he goes out and continues to pitch like he is now, then so be it.
Unless Lee starts one of the games against the Marlins in that final weekend, I don't see how he isn't starting game 1 of the NLDS. As for Cole, his problem is that his curve isn't good enough to be a 3rd dominating pitch and people are teeing off on him when he leaves his two pitches up...
Hamels threw a tremendous amount of innings last year. He is doing historically what most pitchers in his situation do the next year. It happens.
He is 25 and you'd be hard pressed to find another 25 year old in the majors with less time to develop than he had. He will only get better. Calling him a 2 is just stupid. Next year he will be himself again, probably even better than he was last year.
He's not even in his prime yet you space monkeys. Get a grip.
so hes a one cause you says hes gonna be a one next year...lol...doesnt work like that....
dook has never won more than 15 games in his life....he was amazing in the playoffs last year for a month and you cant take that away from him but he has never been a true one and still isnt...hopefully youre right about him down the line....but for right now....no good dunny
hamels is pitching like a bitch this year. who gives a holy farg what he did last year?
Because you get special privileges when you are the MVP of a team that ends the 25 year drought.
If he goes out and buckles down in the playoffs, then everyone will forget about the regular season.
youre an idiot
if lee pitches like you expect him to, hell be the game 1 starter and cole will have no problem with it. in fact hell welcome it. he doesnt want to be an ace and hes admitted as such.
How come you're always wrong?
The Phils have stated before that Cole will be their game 1 starter no matter what.
yea im sure thatll hold up if lee runs the table
The postseason is still a different animal. Just because you are a great regular season pitcher/player, doesn't make you a great playoff pitcher/player and vice versa(see A Rod and CC Sabathia). I'm not going to excuse Cole's regular season, but he could very well be that big game pitcher who takes his game to the next level in the playoffs. You want that guy who has been there, done that at the top spot in the rotation.
Cole pitched a million times better in the playoffs than he ever did in his big league career in 2008. Maybe that is just what he does. IMO he's earned his shot again this year to prove it.
Now if he goes into the playoffs and pitches the same way? Well then he obviously will have lost his that privilege. Otherwise, I don't see how you don't want a player who has proven he can handle big moments and dominate in the playoffs as your ace. He didn't just have a great postseason last year, he had one of the single best in playoff history. Not to mention he battled the weather conditions in a championship-decider.
I don't think one inconsistent season negates all of that. You obviously do.
thanks for breaking it down, skip.
you go with the hotter hand. if things are equal its hamels. if lee is lights out its him. why is this a pointless reese/cole/munson debate?
That is the question. Do you go with the hot hand or do you go with the proven winner?
I go with the proven winner. I don't think hot pitching necessarily always carries over to the playoffs. I'd love to think Lee can be a great postseason pitcher, but he hasn't proven it yet. Cole has.
For all we know Lee could be Sabathia and be red hot going into the playoffs. Sabathia carried the Brewers into the playoffs last season. Then he comes into Philly and gets hit around. He let Brett farging Myers own him.
I'm not going to say starting Lee in game one is the dumbest move ever. He's a great pitcher obviously. But in the playoffs I'd rather go with the guy who we've seen get it done before.
Trying to put Hamels struggles in focus (http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/phillies/20090804_Trying_to_put_Hamels__struggles_into_focus.html)
QuoteOn Aug. 4, 2004, a young righthander named Josh Beckett allowed eight runs - five earned - on nine hits in four innings of an 11-6 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks, who would go on to win just 51 games and hit just .253 as a team. The previous season, at the age of 23, Beckett led the Marlins to a dramatic seven-game win over the Yankees in the 2003 World Series, claiming MVP honors in the process. Less than a year later, he was 4-7 with a 4.54 ERA after that loss to Arizona and had two stints on the disabled list.
Beckett finished that 2004 season strong, going 5-2 with a 2.95 ERA in his final 11 starts of the season.
Now, 5 years later, the Phillies are hoping Cole Hamels - who won World Series MVP honors at the age of 24 last year, but is 7-6 with a 4.68 ERA this season - can experience a similar renaissance.

can you link a quote on this...specifically one since the team acquired cliff lee
Hamels wasn't even the opening day starter last year. Regardless, though, he's pitched like a bitch this year and unless he turns it around there's no chance of another parade. None.
tim lincecum is dealing with his extra innings fairly well
Phreak, don't watch this game. Don't.
Too late.
I am listening to it and messing around on my laptop as we drive back to PA from Delaware.
farging shteinbag losers. Way to go into a funk the week I am gonna be there.

phils are gonna be in a big time race for the division lead by the end of this stretch they are in...starting with that giants series they have 16 consecutive tough ass games 10 of which are on the road
the Fish just gave up 6 in the 8th to the Nats and lost, and K-Rod blew another lead. The division sucks...
First question in the postgame, Donnellon asks Charlie why they aren't considering pulling Moyer from the rotation when Pedro returns. Charlie says "well he got 11 wins....11? (TEN)...10 wins....plus he won 250"....
Ricky Bo agrees and says you can't treat him like a Taschner and sit him for 10 days because he makes too much and he's a starter, plus Happ can be a middle reliever or lefty specialist because he's done it already this year....
why are the phillies being such whiney bitches? are they the forty-whiners of baseball?
QuotePhillies Notebook: Phillies not big on Giants' spacious ballpark
SAN FRANCISCO - If the season ended today, and if the Phillies faced the Giants in the first round of the playoffs, the series would begin at Citizens Bank Park. That is a good thing, at least judging by the talk in the Phillies' clubhouse after their 7-2 loss at AT & T Park yesterday.
The Phillies scored just 10 runs in the four-game set, their first series loss since a three-game sweep at the hands of the Braves from June 30 to July 2. They went 2-for-6 with runners in scoring position yesterday, and finished their seven-game West Coast trip 8-for-64 in such situations.
Nevertheless, the prevailing sentiment holds that those numbers would have been much larger had the series taken place at Citizens Bank Park.
"Quite a few balls we hit were homers in Philly,'' said outfielder Jayson Werth, who went 6-for-16 in the series and hit one of the team's three home runs. "This place is big. The ball doesn't carry. Even though the wind blows out, it's kind of strange. They've got a good club, but I don't think we played as good as we can play."[/b]
In the second inning yesterday, Werth made solid contact on a low fastball against lefty Barry Zito. After he watched it die in the deepest part of the park - 421 feet to the alley in rightfield - he removed his batting gloves in disgust. The out was one of several the Phillies knocked to the alley over their four-game stay.
"If we play at our field, I think it will be different," said Cole Hamels, who allowed seven runs in five innings but suffered several bad breaks. "I think just because you see where we hit the ball, those are definitely out of our ballpark. The score could definitely be a little bit different. But then again, they can hit balls just as well as we can . . . They definitely have the type of team that will go to the postseason because they have really strong pitchers. It'll be interesting. It'll be fun. It'll definitely be interesting to watch what goes on."
They will get a chance to put their theory to a test on Sept. 1, when the Giants are in Philadelphia for the start of a three-game series.
see you sept 1st..
shut up cole. you blew a 2 run lead. no the offense. Hoyda.
wow, an early xmas gift! August sighting of Truck Rathman!
Ya, when the phils win 5 world championships in 12 years we'll start comparing their feat to the niners run.
if its so hard to score in candlestick II then how did cole give up a million runs there
Quote from: ice grillin you on August 05, 2009, 08:29:17 AM

my thoughts exactly. does he think that the hr's the giants hit during the series would somehow not leave the yard in philly. the game i went too, the giants hit several balls that were only a few feet away from being gone but either hit off the wall or made it just short of the wall. him 'em like that in cbp and you're jogging around the bases every time.
phils were playing hot, now they've cooled off. they've been very inconsistant this year in the sense that they're either hot or cold. they either win 8 out of 10 or lose 8 out of 10. hasn't been a lot of 6-4 or 7-3 which is all you really need. they need to find that happy medium and win 55-60% of their games the rest of the season. hell, they could probably even play .500 ball and not worry about anyone in the division catching up to them.
It's because he's from So Cal and has long hair.
the bats seem to be alive today.
4-0, btm 2.
ruiz and jroll each homered and howard has an rbi single.
awesome job J.A.
Lee tomorrow afternoon
I don't see how Happ comes out of the rotation even if Pedro looks like he can go.
1. Lee
2. Hamels
3. Blanton
4. Happ
5. Pedro

Pedro struck out 11 in 6 innings tonight at Reading and "Domonic" Brown (apparently the real spelling after 20 years) crushed one out of the stadium
If Moyer is in the rotation and Happ is out for the playoff roster, I'll be sick to my stomach.
get ready to be sick, girlie. moyer aint goin nowhere.
Neither one is going to be in a playoff rotation. It'll be Lee/Hamels/Blanton/Pedro...
lol Blanton. I still can't believe that trade worked out.
lol pedro could easily blow up after 2 pitches. no one has any idea what hes gonna do.
Quote from: MDS on August 06, 2009, 12:44:47 AM
lol pedro could easily blow up after 2 pitches. no one has any idea what hes gonna do.
exactly....putting him in a playoff rotation right now is ridiculous....theres an equal chance he isnt even a phillie by then
unless they have the balls to DQ moyer which i dont think they do i dont understand why pedro doesnt get released right farging now...they owe him nothing
either bannish moyer or release pedro....this isnt a tough decision
if they bp happ it will go down as one the most unfair decisions in sports history...and possibly one of the dumbest
No one was putting him anywhere. It was just speculation based on how Moyer has pitched. Settle down, you Romes.

Amaro says a six man rotation is a possibility. Happ is definitely staying in it

lol @ the marlins about to get swept by the nats in a series in which they had the lead in every game
i guess it shouldn't be that surprising, but i was looking at washington's numbers and noticed that they have the 5th highest scoring team in the nl. you'd think that even with bad pitching, that productive of an offense would be good enough to keep them from having the worst record in baseball.

It's not just the pitching. Pretty much every aspect of that team, with exception of runs scored (which is skewed because they face guys on mop up duty A LOT), is complete and total trash. It's comedy hour watching their defense at times.

A Mets fan & an English homo... yep... Ed's a bigot.
solid effort by the phils so far tonight against a team that just got swept by the nats. 3-0 top 7. cy nolasco has 7 k's, and the phils went down 1-2-3 in the 6th....all k'd.
2r hr by francisco! 3-2 fishies.
better win tomorrow or else its sweep central

what i dont understand is that if you watch the radar guns all year his velocity is a liitle better than it even was last year...its all his location now...his fastball this year catches way to much of the plate

I was there on Friday...great seats; zesty game.
Last night and Friday were the Phils of years past (and since they started the WC swing last week) where they cannot hit with RISP. I LOVE the leadoff doubles that stay planted at 2B.
Listening to LA (best Phils announcer by far) last night after a double in the late innings and Franzke says "there's something to be happy about" and Larry goes "hell, I will just be happy with them getting him to 3B"...which they never did.
correct me if i'm wrong, but i beleive the phils have only won 3 games since they traded for cliff lee and 2 of those wins do infact, belong to cliff lee.

And all of the losses have been by the starting pitcher.
Since the trade:
Lee 2-0
Happ 1-1
Hamels 0-2
Blanton 0-2
Moyer 0-1
Lopez 0-1
Howard was just called out on a ridiculously bad strike call.
WTF? The home plate ump just threw Victorino out of the game...while Vic was in CENTER FIELD.
Now Vic is going to be suspended for going off on him when he came in from the outfield
What the farg is going on here?
didn't touch the ump, so he won't be suspended. Bako got a nice shove though. This crowd is pissed off though, chanting VICTORINO and booing during every break...
The ump is a douchebag. How the farg do you call someone out from home plate when he's all the way out in the outfield...unless he's flipping you off or urinating on the grass.
This one's over.
Charlie brings in Rodrigo f'ing Lopez in a 3-1 game. Now it's 9-1. awesome. Swept at home by a team that was swept by Washington.
This is just ridiculous. Getting swept by the Marlins at home. 4 game lead ain't shtein in early August.
we have a race boys and girls....and this stretch gets tougher....looking back starting with the giants series you could see they were in big trouble with the deadly schedule that was approaching
get rid of moyer and lopez. now. their tenures in philly are now up. farg that piece of shtein umpire. farg wheels too for saying "he's really a good umpire" over and over and over. and no one cares its your b-day. i hope u die.

Owners come and go throughout many eras, but as long as the team belongs to the city, then the people in that city always have the right to refer to the team as "we". If you pay money to watch, and your money helps drive the franchise, then technically you are part of it. If it weren't for the fans, the team wouldn't have went out and upped their team salary by like 30 million this year.

Can't take it anymore!!AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!
Whew, there. I feel 100% better.
Good night and aloha.
I have to admit seeing Pedro in a Phillies uniform was almost surreal today. I am getting psyched to see him pitch.
don't get me wrong, because pedro is one of the best pitchers of my lifetime and one of my personal favorites, but getting psyched to see pedro pitch now just goes to show how dreadful the pitching has been over the last couple of weeks.
can pedro hit because lately the offense has been far worse than the pitching
he can swing his jheri curl
hopefully some drips on his circle change
moyer on the shelf

SAVIOR!
Peace out, Moyer. Thanks for last year...you should have rode off into the sunset.
Let's hope Pedro can hold it down.
ANd let's also hope that somewhere between PHL and O'Hare these shteinbags have found their offense.
lol..shteinbags.
love it, Moyer to the coaches jackets
pedro looks to start at home tuesday vs. dbacks.
i want to go to there
interesting.

dont count on it....look at the pitchers they have to face this week
harden
zambrano
dempster
jurrjens
kawakami
hanson
YIKES
theres a decent chance they might be in second place by monday
Zambrano is on the DL. Samardzija is making his first ML start
oh good....that helps but they still are facing a hell of a week
if they can get thru this at lets say .500 they get a small break afterwards with the diamondbacks mets and pirates and should be able to right the ship
lol they might be in second place. theyre a good team you farging moron.
i agree problem is they arent a great team...lots of good teams can be in second place
Leavin in 2 hours for the game tonight! Can't wait.

theyre a streaky team always have been always will be. it really doesnt matter how they play when theyre hot nor does it matter who they play when theyre cold.
theyre going to win the nl east this year. stop being a socal Hoyda bitch like your boy cole and expecting the worst to happen. what part of 2 nl east titles in a row and a world series win doesnt give you confidence that theyll hold off crappy teams like florida and atlanta.
The Dodgers and Red Sox are just as bad as the Phils in the last two weeks. I guess they aren't great either...?

But the Marlins and Braves are great.

What did I miss? Did he get in trouble?
him victorino and some other dopes went to that ufc thing...definitely were hungover sunday...doesnt really explain why werth is out tonight tho...unless maybe he was all coked up too
there is a 0% chance victorino and werth dont swap bong hits after games
i dont see him as a cokehead, too laid back and weird for that shtein

Is Jamie Moyer farging kidding here or what?
QuoteI was on the radio before the clubhouse opened and was asked if Moyer would criticize the team for moving him to the bullpen. I said no, Jamie Moyer might be privately grousing, but he is way to savvy and protective of his own image to rip the team in public. I was very, very, wrong.
Here's a more fully fleshed out description of the events as they unfolded:
Jamie Moyer sat alone in the stands at Wrigley Field this afternoon, staring at the infield. He made his major league debut here on June 16, 1986, pitching for the Cubs against the Phillies and his boyhood hero, Steve Carlton.
After a few silent minutes, he sent for the media, and expressed strong displeasure about a late-career development. Moyer, 46, is 10-9, with a 5.47 earned run average this season, and Monday was assigned to the bullpen to accommodate Pedro Martinez, who will make his Phillies debut today as a member of the starting rotation.
"I'm really not happy with this decision that the Phillies have made," Moyer said. "I will take what they've asked me to do, but I'm not real excited about the decision that's been made."
Moyer said that, when he negotiated his TK contract with the Phils last winter, he felt that an understanding existed between him, general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. and owner David Montgomery that he would start.
"I feel like I've been misled," Moyer said. "I'm a little disheartened a little bit because I know this past winter when I was negotiating with the Phillies, this was a sore thumb, if you will, about this potentially happening. Ruben [Amaro Jr.], you can't promise anything in this game, but I really felt that Ruben kind of parlayed to me that this type of situation would not happen.
"I actually even had some conversation with David [Montgomery], and them reassuring me this type of situation won't happen. Again, I'm a little disheartened by the way it's happened, how it's happened."
Amaro and Montgomery were not in Chicago with the team. Amaro said through a team representative that "When we signed Jamie Moyer it was under the pretense of him being a starter. But right now circumstances have changed....we're not going to get into any contract negotiations. That's between players and club."
Manager Charlie Manuel said that the decision to remove Moyer from the rotation was agonizing. "The toughest decision I ever made," Manuel said. "It was very hard. What do you want me to say?"
Manuel added that while he did not know what Moyer's role in the bullpen would be, he would feel comfortable utilizing the lefty as he does Scott Eyre, in hey situations against lefthanded hitters.
"We will look for places to pitch him and keep him sharp and you never know what's going to happen," he said.
Martinez said that "he has all the regard in the world" for Moyer. "I don't have enough words to say how I feel about Jamie."
Moyer, on the other hand, has no trouble finding words. "Whether I like it or not, this is the situation I'm in," he said. "I will deal with it. I will deal with it in a respectful way. I'll be respectful to my teammates. I do not want to be a distraction, and I refuse to be a distraction. It's about the 25 players that are here and are playing. We all have to pick each other up. We all have to support each other And we all have to be professional."
Yeah, nothing says "professional" like stinking up the joint for the entire season and then bitching about only getting sent to the bullpen. Dude's lucky they didn't DFA his ass.
stinking up the joint and getting 6.5 mil to do so
when hes out of baseball next year and getting another 6.5 mil i bet we dont hear a peep out of him about how hes caking off for doing nothing...which btw i dont begrudge him...hes earned that money over a great 20 year career and was instrumental in winning the phils a ws...for that he could make 100 mil next year and i wouldnt care...but jesus shut the farg up about this year....you have been HORRIBLE
I honestly can't believe he's pissed off about being benched. I mean, he's been horrible. Like batting practice awful. I appreciate what he did for the Phils last year, but farg it... last year is over.
what part of the word business doesnt he understand?
somebody give him dawkins' cell phone number
Fact of the matter is that if he was one of their top 5 starting prospects, he'd be out there. Until Pedro shows that he sucks, Moyer clearly doesn't meet that standard. Is that the Phillies fault?
Lidge is just horrible. Get his ass out of here.
Well, I guess it's a farging miracle they're even in this game with 3 2 measly hits.
what a gift throw in. thank jew mark shapiro
Moyer's next start guarantees him $250K and as of now he hasn't hit any of his bonuses for this year or next. That's why he's pissed...
Tonight's game was a joke and I can't believe they won. 3 hits....only 1 with the bases empty (the HR)
What a great time tonight at Wrigley. Highlight of the left field bleachers was a cub fan getting in a yelling match with Soriano. When security got there, the guy threw his shirt and his flip flops in the air and did the "you can't see me" hand gesture that Soriano does. funny ish.
whiney old vadge. he's basically the worst starter in the league right now. what were they talking about with a 6 man rotation? any of his starts require a minimum of 6 runs scored. he's lucky they got pedro to take his place instead of embarrassing him with a 4 man rotation when it gets to be crunch time.. and he sure wasn't pitching in the playoffs this year. he should be lucky he even has a spot on the defending world champs still. thanks for last year.. but seriously, get lost and take lidge with you. their not repeating with him as the closer. and madson sure isn't the answer. maybe myers will be returning just in time?
if lidge gets yanked from the closer role i guarantee he wont complain...he will say i have stunk the joint up and i dont deserve to be the closer right now
btw say what you want about the phils...and i have...they are a flawed champion until proven otherwise...but whatever they are one thing they most definitely arent is weak...in fact they are one of the mentally toughest teams ive ever seen...last nite was a great gut check win...hung in just long enough to get filthy ass harden out of the game....then on the road in a nutso enviroment (is there a more sustained loudness in baseball than wrigley field...that place is insane) they could have easily packed it in after POS lidge gave up the run...and seeing bencisco get the gw hr was perfect as he officially became part of the "room"
IGY, what WS team doesn't have flaws? Especially now in retrospect that we are learning all of these WS teams had roid monkeys playing.

phillies had a 'roid monkey' last year
Who Romero?
OK...something he picked up from GNC that he was told was okay by MLB who then changed their minds?
or HGH or HcG?
Gee, which is the real problem here?
I cannot even believe you just said that. :puke
and the guy who made steroids for balco said ortiz's explanation is entirely possible even probable...i call bullshtein on all of them...they all cheated
id bet my life more than just romero was roided out last year on the phils
you cant tell me you really believe the phillies are the only ws winner in the last 20 years to have not been roided out
No, IGY, that's not what I'm saying.
but that is not your reasoning as to why they were flawed. If you think Romero's GNC supplement is why they won the WS, you're really making no sense.
My point is that EVERY WS team is flawed. Why you insist on making it seem like the Phillies are the worst WS Champs ever is beyond me.
because hes sick in the head
i never mentioned romero in any aspect until you started attacking other teams for steroids...i could give a rats ass about romero
the phils are in an awful division in an awful league with an incredible amount of talent on the roster and still cant pull away...as i said yesterday they should be and could be a great team but because of their issues (to many strikeouts - horrible manager - inconsistent hitting - super low baseball iq) they are just a team that caught lighting in a bottle last year and won....they deserve all the credit in the world for that...but lets not lump them in with the red sox white sox yankees angels or even diamondbacks of this decade
LOLOLOL at saying they don't "rank" with the Diamondbacks or the Red Sox (who apparently WERE all on roids), the White Sox???? or Angels.
They are just as good as any of those teams.
Maybe not the Yankees of the 90s, but still...wtf is wrong with you?
This conversation is super.
you're super
red sox would have urinated all over last years team
unit and schill would have lol'ed at the phils lineup then set postseason series strikeout records against them
and the white sox team is mad underrrated...they won a 100 reg season games and lost one playoff game
with the addition of lee the phillies of this year have/had an excellent chance to be a great team (if thats possible with chuckles as manager)...if hamels and lidge could return to form and the offense wouldnt be so stupid they have the makings of a powerhouse...but it doesnt appear that all those things can or will happen
what does it matter. the world series win last year counts just as much as the sox's and dbacks do. 2 are more memorable for what basically amounts to non-baseball reasons, but in reality the phils ws win will be just as forgettable as 95% of the other world series wins.
the only thing people remember is dynastys. it doesnt matter if you slop your way to them (like the pats) or if youre dominating (like the yanks). its all the same. stop being an idiot.

historical significance? how about 2 in a row. in 30 years no one is going to remember anything about the 2 in a row unless the phils won on a walk off or come back from 3-0 or something. if its just 2 in row than thats it. no ones going to care that the first was against tampa. no ones going to care that the phils were a flawed team that caught some matchup breaks.
no one except for you.
you couldnt be more wrong...it would be HUGE...ive already seen the stat like 15 times on opponents broadcasts about the reds being the last nl team to do it
now if five years after the phils win another team goes back to back then it will of course be lessened but i dont anticipate that happening
if it makes you happy you can have the team that caught lighting in a bottle walked thru a terrible nl and beat some team called the devil rays in an anticlimatic clinching game that took two days to play to win the the lowest rated world series of all time then fine
ill take the first nl back to back champions in a generation
you misunderstood. im saying its back2back regardless of how the first one was won. they won last year. its over. it dont matter how it got done, it just got done.

What? It's loud all the time cause a good amount of people are yapping away and not paying attention, its a college party atmosphere in the bleachers. I've never been to a more calm and no trash talking stadium in my life. I had some fun exchanges with the people that were sitting near us, but most were there for the atmosphere. It is 100% not nutso, and I never ever felt worried or threatend the entire time.
its unbelievably loud...and it never stops...but sure thats from people chit chatting the whole game....not the people being on their feet half the game and going crazy
get the farg outta here

That place is not going crazy the whole time, bottom line. Its loud like most stadiums, when the home team does something good. Its the loudest stadium I've been to with idle noise during the game. Its a party place, great atmosphere and a great stadium, thats about it.

It wasn't old Pedro, but it got the job done tonight. As painful as it was to watch him get into that jam in the 5th, it was reassuring to see him get out of it with relatively minimal damage.
Also very entertaining to see the Phils offense tee off on that scrub pitcher and his replacement.

It was his first game back. Did you expect anything close to Old Pedro? Give him a few more games...maybe we'll see even better than last night.

but if you wanna be real about it...had that been moyer last night people would have be ripping the start
the main difference tho is that pedro has pitches to get himself out of jams via the K...moyer does not

Moyer's also pitched all season and tired. Big difference. There is no way Moyer improves at this point of the season.
The movement and velocity on Pedro's pitches were encouraging. The start as a whole was average, but the fact that there is potential to improve with him as the rust wears off automatically makes him better than Moyer. Being Moyer is pretty much Pedro's floor. My only concern was that he got a lot of 2 strike counts to hitters and couldn't quite put them away. As I said though, hopefully that comes with increased starts.

pedro is 37 and has not been that good for years...he might have some better starts than he had last night but he is what he is but isnt going to get substantially better...just gotta hope he doesnt get a lot worse
but id pretty much rather have you out on the mound that ever see moyer again
Best part of the whole beer thing was Vic smelling his arm in the dugout.
I missed the beer thing; I fell asleep. What inning did it happen? Any video clips?
Pedro looked pretty good last night as far as velocity and movement went. It was weird to see him in a Phils jersey though.
something needs to be done about his post game attire tho...wow that was embarassing...you dont play on the mets anymore with a bunch of trannies pedro

Flat out steal. He ran his ass off and beat the throw handily. It wasn't a bad throw or anything. I just sat in shock watching. LOL
were they holding him on tho?
good for charlie hes learning....lee at 98 pitches leads off the 7th...even last year he would have sent dobbs out to bat
Cliff Lee is good.
yep, holding him on AND he scored from 2nd on a single to left
then in his next AB he singled to left
bizarro day
and Lee f'ing rules
he scores from second quite a bit for a guy his size...but to let him steal on you is inexcusable

Crazy that none of the starters this series were in the opening day rotation.
Nice win for the Phils today. And yeah, Lee is farging God.
victorino filed a report with the chicago pd against whoever threw that beer on him.
also, cliff lee is a farging god. i was skeptical about him but his first 3 starts have been phenomenal. if he pitches like this in october i will willingly ingest his seed.
wednesdays game was the highest rated ever on csn. an 11.1. not sure how many people that translates to but i think its around 1.1 or 1.2 mil

Lidge is just clueless right now. I don't know if it's Ruiz (or whoever) giving him the wrong pitches to throw in what sequence but there was four or five times tonight when me and my Yankees douchebag buddy knew exactly what pitches were coming before they even set up. And if two Romes like us know, you damn know for sure the other team knows.
It's one thing to know what's coming and not be able to do anything about it and it's quite another to pitch like Brad Mitch is pitching right now...
His fastball has great velocity, but the damn location is still off. I don't get it. But I know I now have the "oh shtein, he;s gonna blow it" feeling every 9th now.
ExtraInnings originally had the CSN PHL feed on, but I guess the game wasn't on there tonight? Was it on PHL17? It started with the Vick PC and I thought it was a rain delay.
And then they switched to the Braves Peachtree feed. And those announcers are shtein. I think it was Caray and Sutton. One of which thought it was funny Vic got showered with beer
I was listening to those tools from Atlanta on MLB.COM. Take the term "homer" to another level.
Lidge, oh farg. I told my son "Watch this icehole but two men on and than we can all sweat it out, again". He's done. I pray Meyers gets healthy in a hurry. Hell, I am ready to see Park as the closer.
yea it was on PHL last night
Cole vs Kawakami today on FOX. Most of the country gets it, but New York and California get Giants/Mets instead...
Myers' rehab start in Clearwater was canceled because he was hit in the face by his son
Hours later, he's now saying he slipped getting out of his truck
QuoteThe Inquirer's Jim Salisbury reached Myers by telephone, and here is the story related by the pitcher and his wife Kim:
Myers said he had arrived home from dinner last night in Palm Harbor, Fla.--that's in the Clearwater area. He said he had two beers at dinner and rode home in the back seat of his wife's Escalade in a car filled with friends, and that the family's babysitter was driving.
In the Escalade, the back seat is a bench-style seat, and the middle seats are separate chairs. Myers said that he tripped while passing through those middle chairs. He said his feet got tangled in children's toys. He then fell out of the Escalade and hit his face on the side of the door.
He was not cut, but his left eye was "swollen like a balloon" when he woke this morning.
Asked why he made up the story about playing catch with his son, Myers said: "Because I felt like an idiot."
Kim Myers called it a "freak accident," and both she and Brett insisted that was the entire story. They conceded that, because of Myers' 2006 arrest for assaulting Kim in Boston (charges were later dropped), the current situation would raise questions.
"No, I did not hit him with a frying pan," Kim Myers said, with a laugh, while teasing her husband for being a "klutz."
I placed a call to the Pinellas County Sherrif's department to see if any incidents had been reported involving Myers in the past 24 hours, but was told that no one was available to answer press inquiries on Saturday.
Payback.
How do you score 1 run after hitting a HR, a double, a single and another double?
WTF! Vic on third, no outs and they come away with nothing. Good god people. Phils should be up by three runs.
who didn't see that coming?
For the last farging time can we please get Lidge the farg out of here! This is just a travesty.
Please tell me Lidge meant to walk him there????
Church looked like shtein there.
That was an absolute disgrace today. Lidge is done this year. It never should have never come to this today with all the runners stranded at third. I am so farging pissed right now.
didn't see thegame just saw Lidge is now 0-5. Sitthe mother farger now Charlie! Lets see whatsomeone else, farg anyone else. I betcha I could go 0-5 and i don't play pro ball WTF!~!!!!!!!!!11

QuotePhillies star Chase Utley's wife, Jennifer, is a board member of the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
Explains his zesty performance today.
barbaro lidge
Disgusting.
Utley and Howard came up small in getting runners in today.
Utley's error...I'm calling it an error...allowed the shtein-show to start in the 9th. And Brad Lidge summoned the Ghost of Jose Mesa.
Wow - awful finish. Nice job by Mitch Lidge. Again.
9:45 start time in the ATL
Choke Dog 4
Braves 1
a little part of me wants lidge to go out blow whats shaping up to be yet another save opportunity for him tonight.. just so they can't possibly send him back out there and have him blow a more important save somewhere down the road.
I felt for poor Eyre tonight. He pitched great against the first two batters than walked the third. Would have been his first save in 5 years.
The shots of Lidge standing there in the bullpen waiting to see if Eyre was going to get the third out were classic. His body language said "Please get this SOB out, please'"
Not sure if anyone gives a F about the draft picks, but with the deadline tonight, the Phils signed an LSU commit that nobody thought would sign.......$900K
does he close games?
no, but Smoltz can. Boston released him
ol friend Vicente was released by Texas too
Brody Colvin (the LSU kid) is a 6'4" starter that throws in the upper 90s and teams were scared off from taking him in the first 2 rounds because he asked for $1.2M to sign...
I was listening to Jody McDonald at Rollins' bowling fundraiser and they mentioned the thing about Smoltz. Rube danced like Michael Jackson around the question.
Considering how much that dumb ass hick has ripped the Bank, I seriously don't see him coming to Philly, though.
So now what? I dud can't even get swine flu and stay in the league anymore? I want the Padilla Flotilla back in action.
At this point, I think Smoltz is a situational pitcher--LH absolutely ripped him in his short time in Boston. I see where the Dodgers and Torre are interested as are the Cards. But who knows? I think Charlie said a lot on Sunday night when he brought in Eyre to pitch the 9th--I know he was facing two LHs--instead of bringing in Lidge.
As far as Vincente goes, I read where the Rangers didn't necessarily let him go because he was an ineffective pitcher, but they thought he was a bad teammate and locker room problem.
great start from Pedro against a bunch of no-names
nm
bases loaded w/ no outs and Howard/Werth/Ibanez up and they can't even get one out of the infield
that was rather embarrassing
great run support there fellas. :boom
now Garland catches a line drive with his nuts
NOW Werth hits the HR. :-D
And I can't believe choke's didn't go out before that one.
Wait a minute. Are we supposed to be in second place right now? wait, yesterday we were supposed to be in second place according to the iggster.
As richard pryor said in harlem nights. " look man you shot, you lost,we would have paid you if you won, but you lost, so take your big ass home and brush that tooth".
Damn, Moyer pitching a gem.
good job old man. 6 innings, no runs. First Phillie reliever to do that in 15 years....
BTW...I was pretty impressed with Pedro tonight in the short outing.
bitter Moyer = better Moyer
was at the game, second row up and a lil to the left from where choke nearly hit that homer. victorino gets such an ego power rush from throwing the warmup balls into the stands. what a professional athlete.
pedro looked dynamite after the drew hr. shame for moyer that even though he was great all its gonna get him is 4 days off and a warm spot in the middle of the pen.

this plus the diamondbacks are the other team he owns....and it didnt hurt that mike reilly was giving him pitches 3 inches off the black and low
paul bako about to call a no hitter
and monday is scheduled lee vs parnell which is lol matchup of the year
booooooooooooooo
man has ibanez been epically bad for a long time now
All these CGs from Lee hopefully he doesn't get burned out by the time the playoffs role around.
Cliff Lee is absolutely unconscious.
Two hit complete game.
Ridiculous.
lol @ what the Jays wanted for Halladay
Wheels said Lee looked like Lefty tonight and I agree with that. His strikes to balls ratio was like 8 to 2.
Crazy good.
In 4 Phillie starts:
5 base hits as a batter
4 runs allowed
I guess this Lee guy is pretty good and shtein.
1. Lee is a gotdamn pimp. When he hit 100 pitches the breakdown was 77/23.
2. Does he have more hits than Eric Bruntlett yet? Talk about a paycheck thief. What the hell does Eric Bruntlett do to deserve a spot on this roster?!
3. Yes, Ibanez has been pretty bad since he got hurt. Probably still suffering. I think he rushed back for the AS game.
Ibanez is suffering for a combo of being hurt and coming back to earth. He is not a .330, 40 hr guy. He was producing wayyyy over his career averages and at some point it all had to come crashing down. At this point Ben Francisco or Greg Dobbs should get some starts.
And they are 19 games over .500 and 5.5 up in the East which they already won yet a loss tomorrow and a you pusssssssssssies will cry about it.
Yeah Ibanez starting actually slumping a little about two weeks before he got hurt. He still is pretty damn good, though he has been striking out way too much.
Except for that HR he hit at Wrigley, Ibanez has looked like absolute shtein at the plate the past month. Agree that what we saw earlier this season was not going to last. He is not a 40 HR nor a .330 hitter. Let's hope he pulls out of this.
How do you guys feel about Bill Conlin, in his article today , saying that Victorino is the best defensive CF the Phils have ever had--over guys like Whitey and Garry Lee. I never saw Ashburn play, but Maddox was damn good in his heyday.
i also cant speak on ashburn but no way victorino was better than maddox
vics not even great at judging balls. id call him good. he makes up for it on speed. arm is stellar though.
Victorino is the only one who didn't bang Conlin's wife.
Therefore: Win.
MLB Network with Wild Thing tonight for the out-of-towners
I don't suppose in towners get it?
nope. We got Boston/Toronto instead

well that needs to be bought. wheels is a legend of epic proportions. epically bad. but still.
its not back pedal it is what is...more than any other in my lifetime i cant figure this team out for shtein and havent been able to for the better part of a year....they drive me insane
how can a team 6.5 up in the division and 20 games over drive you insane. they are 1 game in the loss column from the dodgers. what the hell is wrong with you.
60 years ago today, a great day in Phillies vs. NY history:
Quote08/21/1949 - New York at Philadelphia - NL - A pop bottle barrage with one out in the top of the ninth inning of the second game of a doubleheader resulted in a forfeit win for the visiting team. New York was ahead 3-2 when umpire George Barr ruled that Richie Ashburn had missed a diving catch of a ball off the bat of Joe Lafata, scoring Willard Marshall with the fourth run. The players objected, but when the call was not reversed the fans got involved. The barrage continued despite pleas over the load speaker system. Umpire Lee Ballanfant was grazed by a bottle and Al Barlick was struck by a tomato. After waiting more than 15 minutes Barlick called the game for the Giants. - New York Times; 08/22/1949, p 1 (forfeit)

Looks like tonight was a good night to have the power go out...
We got some bad ass storms around 6:30 and were without power until the 9th inning...just in time to see Rollins and Vic try to start something and Utley and Howard look like shtein against that farging showboating queer.
Seriously, the Mets are a mess and that clown acted like he just won the Series.
Tommy John can't visit Frankie soon enough
From Sarge's Twitter account after the game, speaking about that shteinbag Rodriguez...
QuoteI don't care who you're honoring, dancing like a drunken monkey after saving a game for a team knocking on the basement door is disgraceful.
And Billy Wags' quote on a potential return to PHL...
Quote"shtein no, "That was hard enough for two years. You think I'd do that for a month?" "
there is a 0% chance sarge actually has a twitter account
and why are people still talking to wags about philly. its been 3 years get over it media.
i hope both of them get raped to death. what was so hard about blowing saves when it mattered most you dumb piece of shtein? its no coincidence they finally won something when they had a reliable closer that came through when it really mattered. shut the farg up and die.
Flash in the pan Hamels comes through with the epic FAIL again.
What a shocker.
LOL at Wagner.
Yeah, who would WANT to go to the World Series' champions...who are 19 games over .500 and in definite contention for another championship?
Douche.
LOL @ hard enough. Yeah, it must have been terribly difficult to get paid millions of dollars to play a kid's game in front of fans who adored you until you shtein all over them.
What a total dickhead.
like queens is a land full of tulips sundresses and little furry chipmunks that sing childrens songs to you
can someone also tell douchebag wagner that two months is SHORTER than two years
god i hate that farging clown...when the earth opens up to take frankie...because believe me he is visiting satan one day...please wags jump on his back for the ride to the fiery pits of hell...you farging moonshine drinking child abusing middle american POS
jesus! can this team do something with the bases loaded? shtein! second inning in a row. they should be blowing these guys out of the park.

unassisted triple play to end the game
f'ing Bruntlett
3 hits to raise his average 29 points in a span of 5 innings
loses a 4th because the umps overturned a bad call
back-to-back errors in the 9th to continue another Lidge meltdown and bring the winning run to the plate
unassisted triple play
:-D
LOL @ the 15th unassisted triple play in modern MLB history. Was that the first one ever to end a game?
That's what they're saying, but supposedly the 1925 Pirates and 1927 Tigers did it too
wow. what a weird game.

From what I can find, the Tigers one ended the game, but the Pirates lost that game at home so clearly theirs didn't end the game.
Unassisted triple plays are usually huge news. This hasn't really impacted the sports websites yet though. Just now the triple play is beginning to be mentioned on MLB.com and SI.com.
i'm pretty sure most of the universe is in agreement and just want bruntlett to go away.

The Channel 17 coverage:
http://www.viddler.com/simple_on_site/510b230
my computer froze just as the ball was hit (saw it go over lidge's head) and it only just came back a few minutes ago.
holy christ.
unreal.
that loss crushed their spirit.. and now i hope lee steals their souls. no mercy.
They were talking about the Mets on Baseball Tonight and they mentioned that Minaya & Manuel are definitely staying next year. Kruk says, "yeah, well they better get 25 guys who can play then."
Damn!
:-D
Overshadowed by the unassisted TP was that bogus inside-the-park home run that got awarded to the Mets in the first inning.
Victorino was absolutely correct to avoid touching that ball. If Raul had left it alone, there's a good chance the Phils would have gotten away with it as a double.
Kinda strange that it didn't count as an error too, since the official version of events is that the Phillies stood around and didn't pick up a live ball, allowing Pagan to get at least one base more than he would have otherwise gotten.
no it wasn't bogus, the ground rules are very clear in that circumstance, bonehead Victorino just didn't know them. If the ball gets wedged at the bottom of the fence, it must be played, bottom line.
Krukker said otherwise, the rules of the stadium say if it gets wedged, its automatically a double. Ibanez farged up by getting the ball out, and he ignorned the ground rules that are set pre game. Thus giving the mets a HR. Vic did everything right in that one. knew his shtein, and did it the right way according to the books.
the ball wasn't even wedged, Victornio didn't even try and grab it. the ground rules of the stadium take precedent and he should've just grabbed the ball and thrown it in instead of trying to be clever.
Yeah, no shtein....pick it up and throw it in. Why be clever with the leadoff hitter and no one on base? Its not like he knew there was a guy on first who would score easily...
And holy shtein at Bruntlett's day. I told my girlfriend how much he sucks...and he gets 3 hits. But then in the 9th after his bobbles, I think she finally understood.
I thought for sure they were gonna lose it. After Howard, Bruntlett x2....
Big Cliff goes tomorrow....3/4 is nice
QuoteJimmy Rollins, on the decision by the Mets to run in the ninth: "I'm thinking, 'That wasn't smart baseball.'"
No shtein...when I saw those guys take off I didn't understand WTF Jerry Manuel was doing.
Apparently Charlie said Bruntlett is playing for Jimmy tomorrow. UGh.
Jimmy needs a day off and does it really matter when Cliff Lee is pitching? It's not Manuel's vault his only backup infielder is Bruntlett, he can't run his guys into the ground because Bruntlett blows.
they brought up Cairo when Dobbs went on the DL, but he sucks too
.5 innings. 1 hit. 4 runs. 1 hit batter. 1 walk. 3 errors.
Yay baseball.
your miserable attitude is refreshing
why does parnell even pitch to choke
because Parnell stinks?
2 HRs and 5 RBIs in 3 innings. meh. Howard's highlight so far is that he completed a pickoff throw to Bruntlett.
Wow, choke called out on a horrid strike call. No way did he swing at that.
Another 1-2-3 from Lidge. And in a non-save situation. whoa
Howard's second dinger was a farging blast. It's hilarious to listen to Darling & Hernandez heap praise on him because you know it annoys the shtein out of them to do so.
Also - I don't see how Lee can possibly keep this up, but goddamn it, I hope he does.
actually darling and hernandez are about as unbiased announcers as there are in pro sports...not just baseball...
they are absolutely superb
not biting.
nothing to chomp at...its truth...they are an outstanding team of announcers.....unless you like blatant homer douchefargs like wheels
Lights out or on tonight?
on. Another BS for Lidge.
farging stiff couldn't even get an out
Quote"Hopefully, the luck has flip-flopped now," said Brad Lidge, whose 25th save in the Phillies' 9-7 win over the Mets was as odd as they come. "At times this year, the ball hasn't bounced the way you expect it to, but Lady Luck changed. Hopefully."
farg you
What did he throw.. like four pitches??? and gave up three runs.
Can they just please get rid of Lidge already. Does anyone trust this guy in a meaningful game? Just pathetic. What a difference a year makes.
ive seen better abortions than brad lidge
So trade last year's Lidge for this year's, and last year the Phillies don't make the playoffs, and this year they have the best record in baseball. The guy is directly costing the Phils a huge chunk of games.
Lidge is silently as mental as Shawn Andrews.
when is myers next appearance? put him right into the closer position when he's ready.. lidge has done enough to lose it. i dont give a shtein what he did last year.

Why would you want an unbiased announcer? Thats what national games are for.
you want a homer for a pbp guy who goes nuts on a good play NOT for a color guy. wheels sucks in that hell downplay anything bad that happens to the phils and overplay anything good. like jimmy rollins will field a routine grounder and wheels will go off on hows hes the greatest defensive ss of all time bla bla bla. its nauseating.
the mets guys are most likely the best in baseball because while they openly root for the mets they dont suck their cocks like most hometown announcers do.

are you honestly saying you like mcarthy and wheels more than franzke and LA?
as bad as lidge was last night, 90% of this falls on Manuel. why the farg are you bringing him in Monday's game for his 3rd appearance in a row, in a 4 run game. yesterday was his 4th appearance in a row, that's too many and shouldn't happen. just awful bullpen management.
charlies a farging buffoon and always will be...i said on monday that he was bringing him in because he knew the pirates were coming up next and figured the team would go double digit runs in every game and not need lidge....
if he had really looked at it he would have known pittsburghs been playing well lately and ohelndorf specifically has been great...at least last nights game if not all three looked as though it could defintely be tight and he still ran lidge out there on monday....
or another thought i had was i wonder if charlie thought monday was sunday since it was a day game and series closer which rarely if ever happens on a monday...and because of that he thought the team had a day off yesterday
McCutcheon is gonna be a pimp.

dudes been pulling this stunt all year. if they lose A GAME the whole house of cards comes tumbling down. while of course 100% of the blame should be on washed up lidge and that buffoon charlie manuel.
and Werth, for being a hack in the field and not being ready to come into the game
Yeah, I'm the nutjob here because it bothers me that they don't score on zesty teams. They could barely get a hit off of Ohlendorf except for Jimmy's homers. I don't like watching bad ABs and they had a lot of them last night.
Quote from: PhillyPhreak54 on August 26, 2009, 01:54:55 PMthey don't score on zesty teams
What did they do against Arizona and New York?
Lidge blows, but he shouldn't have been out there for a 4th day in a row. There was no need to use him on Monday...
also ohlendorf coming into the game had given up like 10 earned runs in his last six starts
if they dont score 20 runs every game they suck. 162-0 or bust.
Ok...you're right. I will be happy they shtein the bed last night. Cy Ohlendorf.

even though lidge may have been a bit fatigued last night, i've pretty much reached the point where i'm ready for a change. lidge is either farged in the head, still hurt or both. in any case, he's not in the necessary condition to close games because tired or not, blowing a lead against the farging pirates is inexcusable.
joaquim soria for closer in 2010.
i dry heave almost every time i see lidge come in the game but there is some merit to the overworked thing....much less four friggin days in a row...mariano rivera would struggle on that kind of workload
With rest: 2.38 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, and 75 percent of the appearances without allowing an earned run.

how about "I will be happy because they are World Champs, up by 6 games in their division and I realize they can't win every game" ?
I am happy about all of that. But when watching a game and seeing poor ABs or bad pitching I don't get all warm and fuzzy about the WS at that moment. I want them to win another one, obviously...and they have to get better in some areas to do that
I'm DVR'ing the game tonight...hopefully Court Jester Hamels can step it up tonight
Another late lead another blown save this time courtesy of Madson.
farging iceholes.
Choke Dog with a monumental shot.
4-1 Phils, top of the 10th.
There's more Phillies fans there than Pirates fans. LOL - yep - Pittsburgh fans are the bestest ever.
:-D
Its a shame, that park is gorgeous. And never even half full.
Great shot by Howard. He's so hot right now.
Cole might not win 10 this year
definitely can't hang that one on cole though. didn't see the game, but 7k's over 8 scoreless innings ain't too shabby. the 7 hits is a little high but as long as he's keeping runs off the board, there's not much to really complain about.
im pretty sure he threw a little hissy fit tempertantrum when he didnt get the win. what a twat.
can't blame anyone for bitching out these closers, they deserve it
Quote from: Sgt PSN on August 26, 2009, 11:04:19 PMdefinitely can't hang that one on cole though
I wasn't....he pitched awesome. I don't think he'll reach 10 wins because the few games where he's looked awesome, the bullpen blew it for him. Out of his 25 starts this year:
8 losses
7 wins
6 games he was winning when he left and the bullpen couldn't hold it3 games he was losing when he left and they came back to get him off the hook
1 game he was going to win and got knocked out early because of injury
They have 18 blown saves this year yet they are still 22 games over .500. That's ridiculous.

maybe if he wasnt Hoyda he go farther in games or finish them off like a man as cliff lee does...its not like cole is going 8+ everytime out and then the closer blows it...a good amount of games he leaves in the 6th or 7th innings....you cant always expect the pen to pitch three scorless
hes pitched more than 7 innings three god damn times all year...and in games hes pitched seven or more hes 4-2...so i think its a little off to say the pen has been blowing games for him
and thats the first halfway decent point youve ever made

QuoteAround Veterans Stadium, Golden is known as The Wha Whoo Man. (That's how Golden spells wahoo). Since the Vet opened in 1971, he and his family have owned six season tickets in Section 224. Wearing a pinstriped Phillies shirt with the words "Everybody Hits, Wha Whoo!!" on the back and his deceased dad's initials on an arm patch, he sits in Row 1, just behind the left corner of the Phils' dugout. Whether the Phillies are leading or hopelessly behind, Golden is always upbeat, always delivering his trademark phrases.

you're confusing the difference between being poor and being broke. having 15k in the bank means you're not broke but it still makes you poor. just like me.
Where did this 15k come from?

Great game!!
Great series!!
Be happy...no worries!
Tommy Hanson, Lowe and Jurrjens. They're doomed. DOOMED.
this whole team is turning into a bunch a farging choke artists.
are they moving to ny?
they'll be winning just as much this year if they keep up their bs with RISP and their ability to close out games. it might not hurt them now with a big lead in the division and playing inferior teams, but they are weaknesses that will surely be glaring come playoff time.
and those weaknesses arent going away
they never could hit with risp and manufacture runs. the closer has blown ass this year. it will probably cost them. getting mad and yelling isnt going to solve this. they are a hr hitting team and lidge needs months off to regroup. what do you want?
They have the highest OPS with RISP. They have the highest OPS overall.
They are by far the best lineup in the NL.
Shut up.
They've lost what? 4 games in the past 2-3 weeks? OMGZ!!!111
:-D
the lineup is absolutely no different than last year...it what it is...they have to many strikeouts and to many dummies
the question is can the pitching win it for them again this year...if hamels becomes hamels and happ is for real they have a great shot
phils are something like 9-12 at PNC park since 2003. for whatever reason, they just don't play well there.
Quote from: ice grillin you on August 28, 2009, 08:43:39 AM

if hamels pulls his head out of his ass, then you've got 3 guys (lee, hamels, happ) who have the ability to go deep into games and possibly even the distance. all 3 have thrown at least one cg for the phils this year, no?
Not bad:
http://www.youtube.com/v/B5FzRYxFcP0&hl=en&fs=1&
they need to manufacture runs and close out games in the playoffs and they can't do either. yes, they can ride their starters not named lee .. and we saw what happened last night. everyone knows their offense is awesome.. and they beat up on some teams.. but its obvious they struggle when its a low scoring close game where they need to manufacture runs and close out games cleanly. that kind of sounds like a playoff game. its not the end of the season and i'm not flipping out or whatever your talking about. obviously the offense isn't changing.. but in regards to closer they should try myers out there when he gets back.. he has closer experience and will only be able to pitch bullpen. pedro should also be inserted as some sort of set up man when they drop to a 4 man. until then ill just complain here and watch you guys get bent out of shape about it.

Shut up.
hitting 3 run homers all the time sure will do that
they suck at manufacturing runs, moving guys over, bunting, sac flys, etc. its all in for the big homer. its worked, so you cant complain too much but this team is what is.
hamels and happ could be $ but they most likely will be 6 or 7 inning guys in october. that means you need 9-12 outs from the bullpen which is tall order.
they already won the nl east and will get colorado or san fran in the playoffs. up until then its all meaningless bullshtein.
Bunting is almost always counterproductive to scoring runs.
This team scores more runs than any other team in the NL.
THE END.
cause they hit the most homers and score 15 runs one day and 8 the next series...which is fine...its just not why they will win it all
they will win the world series if the staff bucks up and they wont if it doesnt....same as last year
Any one of Howard, Utley, and to a lesser extent Werth can carry the offense through a series.
Last year the offense was tearing shtein up in September and hit their down swing in the playoffs. If the offense gets hot in the playoffs, its over. We could throw Jim Bunning's crazy ass out there and it wouldn't make a difference.

pitchers you dolt. otherwise, yes, bunting is pointless.
and yea, they score runs off the homer. its all good. but they cant hit sac flys and situationaly score. no doubt they have a great offense but the numbers arent the end all be all. though someone who barely got into community college might not be able to recognize that.
Idiot, when or when you don't hit sacrifice flys is completely luck.
No one tries to hit a sacrifice fly and the Phillies hit plenty of fly balls.
The Phillies are also one of the best baserunning teams in the majors. Basically everything the regular 8 can control, they are good at.
explain how hitting a flyball is luck. seems to me a skilled athlete should be able to that. getting a hit is a different story.

most offenses dont hit an upswing in october because youre facing superior pitching to what you face in the reg season
and of the offenses that can do that it certainly isnt the phillies...they arent the kind of offense that can step up against very good pitching over an extended period ie a series...luckily in the NL there isnt a team that can...which is why it will come down to pitching...where the phils have an advantage with their offense is if their picthing matches or come close to matching the opponent...because when thats a wash the phils have an advantage over anyone on the offensive side
Quote from: MDS on August 28, 2009, 02:17:36 PM

lol its not...just like hitting a ball the other way isnt luck
bill james said it was though. and he has a calculator.
It is, its obvious.
Hitting a ball is hard enough, they are worried about hitting the ball not making an out, they just want to put a good swing on the ball. Thats all ANY player wants. No one tries to hit a flyball.
I don't expect either of you to understand because one of you is fat and has shown a lack of understanding in even the most basic concepts and the other is a silly skinny little jew and neither of you probably even played baseball past pee wee.
Basically you guys suck.

oh farg, Lidge. Only thing worse than Madson.
players still fear Brad Lidge at the plate? Is he kidding? Who? Little Leaguers?
lights out tonight.
I stand by the fact that Charlie's ridiculous insertion of Lidge in that game after 3 days in a row was why he failed.
He was starting to get his shtein together and that was a dumb Charlie move.
Holy crap. Haven't seen Lidge look like that since, well since last October.

Agreed on that point. Incredibly stupid move by Charlie in Pittsburgh.
Lidge threw some sick stuff tonight.
Poor Pedro. Screwed by mother nature again.
so... howard didn't strike out and went 3 for 3... they got a run in from 3rd... and lidge pitched a perfect 9th.
interesting, smithers.

Howard is scorching hot right now. It was good to see Ibanez finally get a hit too
Quote from: Don Ho on August 28, 2009, 11:29:02 PM

those last two pitches were filthy but imo everything tossed before that was average at best...almost every slider before the final two hung like a mother and the fastball still has zero movement
"He's got so much power, and this is a high school field," Braves catcher Brian McCann said of Howard
McCann said: "With a guy that strong, he doesn't even have to come out of his swing. Playing here, he can wait as long as he can and just flip 'em to left."
(http://lineout.thestranger.com/files/2007/11/crybaby.jpg)
So I guess McCann is trying to say that he can't get a single hit in 4 ABs at a high school field. That's pretty bad for a professional baseball player.
evidently smoltz taught mccann the delicate art of whining before he left for boston. hopefully he taught him the same art of choking in the playoffs should they ever actually get there again.
and i guess the second dinger howard hit was a cheapie too despite being a laser that flew about 435 feet before killing some ivy.
clifford back to earth
Well, this was bound to happen. Not to worry as the Phils are real good at manufacturing runs.
lol
double that lol
god - what an awful night.
i wonder if mccann is going to cry like a f*ggot about the ballpark tonight? nah...
my money is on no he's not
they had an up close and personal thing with mccann and his shtein kicking hick family during the delay to start the game. it might have been the most nauseating thing i've ever seen in my life.
brian MAcann needs to concentrate more on the marlins and less on the phillies
The Braves announcers continued the crying session about CBP though...god damn you could hear their tears splashing all over their score books.
They even trotted out the whole "they removed two rows of seats!!" story.
And then showed a Diaz quote about how CBP has the dimensions of Cincy but the air flow of Colorado.
Biggest bitches in the league; the Braves.
And excellent offensive job tonight!!!!!!!!!
All ok!!!
i was gonna say they can talk all the shtein they want to tonight
just the thought of listening to the Braves announcers makes me sick. just the thought of the Braves makes me sick.
the sad thing is they used to be good announcers....then skip dies and sutton went to the nationals (and since come back) and thats was it...now they are a travesty
Yeah, I think it was Jon Sciambi or something like that and Joe Salty Simpson was doing color.
interesting stat for those who think that the phils have a serious advantage at the bank in terms of home runs.
before the start of today's games, the yankess have hit 115 of their 199 home runs at home (58%).
meanwhile, the phillies have hit 93 of their 184 homers at home (51%).

Whew. I'm not sure Lidge had total control tonight but he did throw a few excellent pitches and got lucky with the balls that were contacted. Got the save.

the first slider he threw to escobar was pretty sick and then each one he threw in the last ab were pretty filthy too. the pitches in the middle were a little scary, especially that fastball he threw to la roche. he barely missed lauching that one.
but, a good outing none the less.

That guy infuriates me when he tries to get cute with his pitches. Dude went and found the ability to rear back and blow 95-97 gas by people and he doesn't use it enough. He gets guys late as hell on that fastball and then nibbles with the change and slows their bats down.

He falls in love with his changeup too much. Chipper Jones didn't even get his bat halfway around on the fastball that he missed. Then he threw him two straight changes--I hold my breath when he comes into games anymore. Meanwhile, Scott Eyre is the new JC Romero this year. 1.67 ERA so far???
Madson's changeup is his best pitch and it's not close. It's one of the best righthanded changeups in the majors. I wouldn't call it Hoffman level like some people(Morgan? Conlin? someone did) do, but it's definitely a plus plus pitch.
Madson's fastball would get mollywopped if hitters didn't fear his changeup. His fastball is straight as an arrow. He throws it hard and WHEN he hits his spots with it he is absolutely nasty but even suggesting that his fastball is his best pitch is pretty stupid.

It IS a plus pitch, but when you have a guy who is later than hell on his fastball up in the zone...you go back to that well. Bobby is right, he falls in love with it too much. Why slow Chipper's bat down when he's late?

Cleveland Indians' Jason Knapp, the key to the Cliff Lee trade has an injured shoulder
Baltimore- Right-hander Jason Knapp, the 18-year-old whose potential convinced the Indians to trade Cliff Lee to the Phillies on July 29, had an MRI scan on his right shoulder Friday.
The Indians received four players for Lee, last year's AL Cy Young winner. Right-hander Carlos Carrasco, infielder Jason Donald and catcher Lou Marson should be in the big leagues well before Knapp, but the Indians said they wouldn't have made the deal without him.
When the deal was made, the Indians knew Knapp, 6-5, 225 pounds, had right biceps tendinitis. In fact, he was on the disabled list.
Knapp, after being activated following the trade, made four starts for Class A Lake County. He allowed seven earned runs in 11 2/3 innings with 12 strikeouts and eight walks, but his shoulder still hurt.
"We're concerned," said Ross Atkins, Indians director of player development. "The shoulder has continued to bother him. We'll see what the MRI says."
Overall, Knapp is 2-7 with a 4.18 in 21 starts for Lake County and the Phillies' Class A Lake wood, N.J., team. He has 123 strikeouts and 47 walks in 97 innings.
Donald, a shortstop/ second baseman, is on the disabled list with back stiffness at Class AAA Columbus. Atkins said he could be playing in five to 10 days.
Columbus' season ends Sept. 7, but if Donald is healthy enough, look for him to continue playing for Class AA Akron, which clinched a spot in the Eastern League playoffs Thursday.
Donald, along with Carrasco and Marson, could be called up by the Indians in September.
Carrasco got smoked last night too.

How in the farg can anyone get excited one way or another about 1/162nd of a professional sports season? Especially when the sport is as farging boring and repetitive as baseball? Settle down, weirdos.

you shut your filthy whore mouth. it's the end of the farging world so deal with it.
lol. who said slumping or they suck or its the end of the world?
their getting eatin alive by the giants pitching.. which is concerning since they might have to play them and all in the playoffs before they get another big shiny ring.. there i made it a little simpler.
basically, as i said earlier in the thread, and as igy just said.. who cares about the regular season. this is a potential playoff matchup and the strength of this team is getting served.
or the bats had 2 off days at the same time as meeting up with them.
I'd bet on the latter.

how do you explain the three of four days off they had when they were in sf....big ballpark right?
The phils have a habit of making average/bad pitchers look good. Brad penny is no exception.
Out of towners, game is on MLB TV. 1:00 HST, guess Don Jr's catching the bus home from school.

its a streaky offense numbnuts. pray to your jesus that they are on in october.
i did laugh at the worst bench in baseball comment. not even igy believes that horseshtein.
they hit like a combined .200 with a total of 12 homers or something...whose is worse...maybe san diegos?
Pedro has 7 Ks through 3 innings and Werth crushed one into the 2nd deck off Lincecum

ha.....the Phils got outscored 5-3 in a CBP series and still won 2 of 3
that's pretty funny, chase utley getting hit by a pitch directly leads to a win.
mitch and the other deusche are talking on post game about how smart of a base runner chase is because he read the ball perfectly off of howards bat to get home. i guess someone should tell him there was two outs.

Good win. Pedro was on and Lidge didn't shtein all over himself despite feeling the urge to poo all over the mound
Utley is pretty widely considered the best baserunner in the MLB.
Your watching a once in a lifetime secondbaseman. Easily Top 5 second basemen in MLB history, the late start hurts him for anything more than that, but if he can continue high production later in his career who knows.
I heart him.

Utley is ten times the player Rollins is and is white. I wonder why he is more liked than Rollins.
Really.
Rollins also has a personality.
Quote from: MDS on September 04, 2009, 12:34:11 PM
Rollins also has a personality.
BINGO
utley is a fine human being im sure and i like him...but hes about the 5th most likeable player on the team
and lol at the racist above....my favorite all time athlete is a white hockey player
Did I say anything about you?
I'm saying he is a better player than Rollins, he is a HOFer and one of the best to ever play his position and he is also white which in Philly counts for something so yea obviously he is going to be universally liked more than Rollins.
color has nothing to do with...its all about looks...take out the girl factor and utley has a real solid fanbase of old men who thinks he plays the game the right way more so than any other player...but choke would definitely be more liked and probably jimmy to if not for the ho's and johnny come lately pissants like munson
and he also isnt better than rollins...better hitter not better player
He is 100x the hitter and 10x the player.
There is just no way you can make a case that Rollins is a better player. Utley's worst full season offensively was better than Rollins's best. Offensively Utley is on a completely different level.
Rollins is a much better fielder, but Utley is by most metrics a very good second baseman.
Its nice that he is a great defensive shortstop, but it doesn't come close to making up the difference.
Rollins is no where near the player Utley is.
lol metrics
rollins is way better than utley in every way possible except hitting...and even then utley is a great hitter for his position but his numbers arent overwhelming or anything...hes really really good and amazingly consistent but what 3 hole hitter couldnt hit 30 homer and 100 rbi in this lineup in this park
hell jimmy would go for .290 25 and 100 (utleys like .295 30 and 105) in the three hole plus hed be dominant over utley defensively speed and leadership
and theres just no possible way utley could have guaranteed the division like jimmy did in 07 then go out and win an mvp behind...simply one of the greatest achievements in sports history
and for the record and to be clear that im in no way hating on utley i love guy and have not one bad thing to say about him...but jimmy is a little better

this. jimmy's problem at the plate isn't that he can't hit. it's that he's the type of hitter who isn't really suited for the leadoff spot. but that's not really jimmy's fault. it's not like this lineup really has anyone that fits the mold of a true leadoff hitter. from 1-9, this team strikes out alot.

and this.
Utley is a better baserunner than Rollins. By any credible account, scout and stat alike Utley is the or one of the best baserunners in the majors.
This is not debatable. Being faster does not make you a better baserunner.
Utley's offensive numbers are actually overwhelming. He is the best hitter in the NL next to Pujols, at least until Hanley goes berserk next year. Now I wouldn't expect you to grasp why and I don't really feel like arguing with you because you either have to watch a ton of games or have a remedial understanding of what makes a great offensive player and well...
As far as leadership I'm not going to get into any of that bullshtein. You have no foot to stand on when talking about it because you are basing it off what exactly? Rollins telling you he is a leader? He's alot like McNabb in that department and the corny comments.
ha interesting timing
QuoteBob (Denver)
Is Chase Utley the 'Derek Jeter' of the NL? Albeit without the dating prowess...
Jerry Crasnick
(12:56 PM)
Bob, There are a lot of similarities. They're great baserunners and attentive to all the little things. And they don't have to say a lot to get their point across. I was talking to a Phillies player last night who told me, "Guys in this clubhouse don't want to mess up, because they don't want to disappoint Chase.'' That was amazing to hear.
no one isnt saying he isnt gritty and works hard...he has to do that because he doesnt have the ultra talent that a jimmy has...hes just not a better player than rollins
and theres no chance hes even close to as good a baserunner...just because he has to be smart to get an extra base instead of using straight speed and not even thinking about it like rollins doesnt mean hes better..and the disaprity in sb's is just ridiculous...not to mention the extra bases rollins gets because of his speed...you can try and billy beane it up all you want but it will never be true
Just pulled what looks to be pretty decent seats off of stub hub for tonights game..section 111 12 rows off the field for 18 bucks a piece.

tell ed wade i farged his wife in the ass.
I'm getting a kick out of IGY's assertion that Rollins is a better player than Utley. I seriously can't figure out what measuring stick you could possibly use to come to that conclusion other than preferred race.
Offensively there's no comparison. Rollins is better defensively by far, though.
Quote from: Rome on September 04, 2009, 06:18:27 PM

actually there is a valid comparison because of where each one bats and what each one does for the team...even if you agree that utley is a better offensive player than rollins and i agree that he is...rollins is so much better at everything else its not even funny and if all things were equal in terms of place in the lineup rollins wouldnt be that much worse than utley offensively
its close no doubt...and if you say utley is a better player i wouldnt be mad but to drop assinine shtein like hes 10X better is just stupid

lol at Jimmy Rollins being a better player than Chase Utley. Jimmy is probably the best SS in Phillies history. Utley is one of the best 2nd basemen of all time.
also lol at "jonny come lately"...up until Howard and Utley hit the bigs, my favorite all time Phillie (from my life time) was a drug addict center fielder.
please stop trying so hard...there isnt a person here that doesnt know youre a complete know nothing fraud

Not that it would have mattered, but what was Feliz doing on that fly ball when he was on 3rd with one out? That's the second damn time he's ventured down the line on a tag-able ball and not tagged up.
LOL at Miguel Cairo being one of the options off the bench
A miserable time at the park. I had some wanna-be mexican gangbanger tell me that he was gonna whup me if the Phillies won. This was on the way in and the guy was 5'7 165ish. I gave him the finger and my seat location.

Thanks for the rundown. His shaky was better than Lidge's normal. I'll take it.
Agreed, shaky Meyers 100% upgrade from Lidge right now.
you lose lidge if you take away his job. but the phils have more than enough $ to eat lidges contract and trade/release him and re-sign myers as the closer. brett will stay for a discount.
thats the risk you take with this move. but, its got to be done. with lidge as the closer this team has no shot to win a playoff series.
double digit blown saves? GTFO. i dont care if he saves 15 in a row at any point he'll never have the confidence of anybody in a big spot knowing a melt-down is right around the corner. myers is here... the writings on the wall. he's not even losing the pujols of the world anymore.. its the kaz farging matsui's.

why? if he can't see he needs to sit down and figure it out, then he should go.
hes been a closer all his life. hes had success. hes not going to willingly and happily accept a lesser role. the $ should be irrelevant since this team is essentially printing money and will continue to do so next year given the nl east title that was clinched in may.
myers wasnt a lights out closer in 07 but he was pretty good. going to him and poss using romero against lh should be be able to come back could work. or its their best shot.

Terrible loss tonight. I am glad I wasn't at that game. I'm here in PA for the weekend...got home from my fantasy draft in time to see my boy Myers make his come back and Lidge shtein himself.

I'd rather have IGY in there instead of Lights-Off Lidge.
Mayberry and Kendrick were called up, and Madson is out indefinitely

Why is Madson out indefinitely?
he strained something (rib or arm...I forget)

Way to lose three in a row to a Houston team who admitted in the media last week (via Roy O) that they were dead and just playing it out.
This team is unfocused and playing like farging shtein.
Why was Happ scratched?
Any updates on Madson, Romero and Condrey?

Phreak and IGY talked me out here onto the ledge. Sorry.
Just a little frustrated the way this team has not been able to produce runs the past few weeks. Not a great time to have a team wide slump. This lineup "should" be going ballistic right now.
What happened to Happ?
farging Pence.
Prediction: Werth will fall down striking out on this at bat.
13th straight game with 4 or less runs.
worst part about the game was manuel revealing lidge is still the closer.
used park, used myers with his spot due up first, madson out, used eyre....lidge was it should the phils have comeback. thats a massive problem. more so than the offense which you have to figure will turn around based on the law of averages.
Negative ghostrider, the worst part of the game was they left TWO runners on 3rd with less than 2 outs again.
Punch those two runs in and they win.
This offense is sickening. It has been since the Arizona road trip.
Ibanez looks terrible and they can't string hits together for shtein.
Slumping offense doesn't bother me so much. That shtein happens over the course of a season for all teams. Obviously you don't want it to happen in the postseason or during a pennant race, but when you've got a six-game cushion in September... big deal. This team has massive firepower and it will return soon enough.
The Lidge shtein DOES bother me because that's been season-long, shows no sign of letting up, Cholly is clearly not bothering to address it, and it's absolutely guaranteed to cost them postseason games unless it gets better real quickly. It's ludicrous to let any closer stink up the place that bad that often in a season. Doesn't matter who they are... doesn't matter if they just won the World Series for you, doesn't even matter if they've a Hall of Famer. Even if the team had no other obvious options (which it does in Myers), I'd at least want to see them testing different things out in the 9th.
Perhaps the 6-game cushion is one reason Manuel feels the need to stick with Lidge, that he sees they have some room to wait and see if he fixes himself.
I'm not saying that would happen nor that I agree with it, but thats about the only explanation I can come up with
QuoteHOUSTON — Much more on this in tomorrow's News Journal, but Charlie Manuel was ticked off after today's 4-3 loss, which completed the Astros' first four-game sweep of the Phillies since Sept. 6-9, 1999. Here's a taste of his postgame rant:
"We had a bad series, and that's saying it lightly, I guess. They outplayed us. They deserved to win. We keep playing like that it's going to be tough for us to win [many more games]. We did almost everything we could do to lose. You name it. We had shcnaces and we couldn't get a big hit. We didn't get a two-out hit. And we didn't pitch when we had to. They did. We didn't. It was a rough series for us. The way we played, we made it rough.
"When I see us chase balls on the ground, chase 'em in the dirt, chase 'em over our head, I start to wonder. I don't know what it is, if they're trying too hard, if they're tight, whatever. We have no reason to be tight. But some of those at-bats we put on, it seems we dcon't have a clue what we're doing. That's what I see. Watch, you'll see it, too. We've got guys on base, the pitcher's the one in trouble. Not the hitter. Offense is offense. That's why it's called offense. When you're hitting and you've got a pitcher with the bases loaded and runners in scoring position and less than two out, the hitter, he's offensive. When he's chasing balls in the dirt and stuff, I call that defensive. That don't work.
"You can go around and talk to them. You can talk to them in batting practice. But what is today? September 9th? Damn, if we ain't got it by now, we ain't never gonna get it. We were in good position coming in, and we're still in good position. We've got to play. We've got to win some games. It's been kind of leading up to this. It's got to bottom out sometime. We've got some wins. We beat the Giants two games, and we got real good pitching, tremendous starting pitching, when we scored three runs and got two wins. Over in Pittsburgh, we didn't hit at all. Actually, we played real bad there. Homers are great when one or two guys are on base. When you hit three solos and the other team scores three, four, five runs, and you lose, it's not so great.
"I don't know. I hear some of them talk. I hear some of them say, 'We play better when we have to or when there's more pressure.' I find that hard to believe when I see us play like we did today. I find that hard to believe. I played 20 years. I like my chances ofbeing relaxes when we have a nice lead. That don't register for me.
"[Expletive] the last couple years. That don't mean [crap]. We're playing today. Last year is dead and gone. Having to win? No, I don't get that. I think when you have a lead, you're sitting better than you are when you absolutely have to win a game that day. I think having a lead's got to be better than that. I'll take the lead. That's what I'm trying to say. Last year, what happened in the past, that's gone. We played tremendous baseball last year the last five, six weeks. Best baseball we've ever played. I'm not going to give our lead up and say, 'We'll start here.' No, I'm not going to do that because I don't know if we can come through or not. I like our chances better where we're at, but at the same time, we have to win some games. That's what I'm trying to say.
"We're not playing good. When I see how we're playing, for us not to be able to knock runs in, I've got to think we're a little bit tight when I see guys hitting balls on the ground. I think my experience tells me that much."
So, that about captures Charlie's mood. There's much more where this came from, and we'll have it for you in tomorrow's paper and at www.delawareonline.com/phillies. Meanwhile, feel free to join Charlie and vent your frustrations in our comments section.
More later.

Awyright Chalee. Bout farging time.
what charlie does and especially what he says now means shtein regarding lidge...one the playoffs start the closer role will be taken on a game by game basis depending on score....match ups situation
probably wont matter tho as i cant see this offense getting a lead in the payoffs against good pitching every night
Victorino switched from Rollins' agent to Ibanez's agent and wants a long-term deal
...and WTF Cole....this is just....wow (http://www.philebrity.com/2009/09/08/no-really-now-will-you-believe-us-when-we-tell-you-how-heidi-hamels-is-ruining-everything-beautiful-that-was-once-cole-hamels/)

Im assuming that pic of Africa and their foundation answers your question
the blond boy isn't theirs either. The dog was probably a loaner from Chase and Jen...
I wonder what Jen's butthole smells like.
shtein, probably.
well we know Chase isn't sniffing that. Too focused on Ryan Howards cock.
Listen to them boo Lidge! :-D
When can we be done with this spectacle? Good god Charlie.
holy hell, this is just insane.
Nice way to step up Madson!
Madson, good work!
See you later Lidge.
lol thats it?
5 solo HRs. yay consistent offense
Way to look zesty against a zesty team again. Those Astros and Nationals are world beaters!!
I could not believe the 9th. Lidge is downright bad right now. Thankfully Charlie pulled him out or else they lose.
I had to watch the terrible Nats feed...and like 3 innings were cut off because they lost the visuals, just a picture of Nats park and audio.
Looks like Lidge is done as the closer. Manuel said he didn't know who he's gonna use tomorrow which I assume is hillbilly for farg that moleface.
OR NOT
Lidge said Manuel told him he will be closing tomorrow should the situation arise.
from zolecki's twitter. farg you.

That's the hard part. He is such a cool guy and I really feel bad for him. To come back after that meltdown in Houston and to have one of the most incredible seasons for a reliever we'll ever see is truly remarkable. The confidence and attitude he brough to the mound last year was contagious. When his sliders on it's still a thing of beauty.
Paul Bako is irrelevant.
raul is looking good bitches.
Minus the K to strand Jimmy and Howard, Ibanez has looked good the last two nights.
Victorino continues to leave guys on 3rd with less than two outs. They should have blown up that 2nd inning and only got 3.
This farg Gonzalez has three doubles on three pitches seen from Lee.
Come on.
After they stand around and watch a bunt roll back fair, they blow a dead double play ball...Jimmy struggles to get it out of his glove and Utley drops it on transfer.
tie game.
The 40-something win Nationals.
Bums
Werth saves the day (so far) with a mammoth shot
WERTH! Holy shtein that was well struck.
Feliz's turn.
Slumping Pete Happy goes back to back with Werth.
Phils last 15 HRs have been solo shot. Horrible
Aaaaand, its 2nd and 3rd with 0 outs thanks to Howard straight dropping a ball in his glove.
Hopefully Chan Ho park can get us out of this inning.
What a throw by Werth! farg you Wheels! Your 20+ games out of it who gives a shtein what the situation is.
Nice job to get out of that mess by the Seoul Man.
Does Shane come to the ballpark drunk? Christ, another blunder.
Victorino = bonehead
I tell you, these people from Hawaii ::)
This skinny kid just threw one @ 99 mph!! Sign him now!
I'm not feeling warm and fuzzy about this one.
Whew!!
4-6 double play.
They hang on to win.

They are two away from the all-time record, I believe it was the '95 Orioles.
playoffs:
reading down 1-0 in a best of five
lakewood up 1-0 in a best of three
Mets Affiliates...LMAO
They had one affiliate make the playoffs: their rookie-level team in Brooklyn (and Washington only had their GCL team). The Houston Wades were one of 3 teams with no affiliates making the playoffs at all (Baltimore and Toronto were the others)....
None of that is even a little bit interesting.
well blanton certainly sucked a fat one today. down 8-2 in the 8th and lidge is on the mound. apparently he's been relegated to the highly coveted role of "pitcher used when game is out of reach."
incase of emergency use stairs!
holy ish, farging grand slam! bums only down 2.
1 down :-D holy ish these guys hate us!

Blame Blanton's bitch ass for letting some rook go DEEP on his ass. More sloppy ass defense too.

WTF did Victorino do now? I missed the first 7 innings. I swear he's smoking some of that shtein from Maui recently. He's made some real stupid plays in the past few weeks.
The one time I would have been ok with Howard whiffing. That first called strike was bullshtein.
What a zesty break on that wild pitch that hit the brick wall and bounced right back to the catcher. Still looked like Utley had plenty of time to take second as the Nats were so worried about Vic at third.
All said and done it was still an incredible ninth. Stairs hitless since the Civil War and he gets a grand slam. Unreal. I really thought they were going to pull it off.

victorino tried to make a spectacular sliding grab on a routine ground ball to the outfield had it kicked away and allowed another run to score. the slide would have accomplished nothing. nor would it have been spectacular.
yeah the first strike call on howard was bullshtein but him getting all butt hurt then swinging at the next pitch miles outside of the strike zone is pretty stupid.
marlins= 5 back.
nothing to complain about? farging losers.
Not the same is it. Must be Friday night.
mds > phreak
Not possible.
I liked Charlie's "WTF" exasperated look when Madson gave up a hit to start the 9th.
Choke's average against LHP is sinking, and he failed to get a run home with a guy on 3rd and less than two outs.
I think I heard they are hitting .213 with runners on 3rd and .251 with RISP
yea theyre so farging bad. worst team ever i hate their guts.
They're not bad. They are playing bad lately though. And their hitting with runners on and late inning bullpen problems are worrisome.
Eyre is hurt, Romero is hurt, Lidge is in trouble....Myers is a week back from hip surgery and Madson hasn't exactly been lights out as a closer either.
yup. and none of those problems are going to be fixed.
the offense has always been like this. the bullpen is all farged up. complaining and yelling will accomplish nothing. maybe you just have to come to grips that winning a world series takes an enormous amount of timing and luck and this year the cards arent falling.
I agree with that, but like I said before...I don't like watching sloppy baseball, especially from the Phillies and especially when they have the ability to win it all again.
Happ is gonna miss another one, and I think that is smart...do not push him.
Quote2) J.A. Happ is improving, but Manuel said that the lefthander could miss a third start due to the innercostal strain that has sidelined him since Monday. Happ was throwing lightly off of flat ground in right field today.
"It sounds like he is going to miss another one, but I'm not sure," Manuel said. He later labelled the chances of Happ returning in time for his scheduled start next week "50/50.
i cant think of team in the NL that wont run them straight out the playoffs right now
most likely yes
but the thing is its luck. if cliff lee and cole hamels are on then they could easily go back to philly up 2-0 on stl and la. also you need the luck that manuel will give up lon idge. and that the phillies will hit the 3 run homers. you do that and little momentum could take them.
but i wouldnt predict them to win it. but its not out of the realm of possibility, unlike the eagles winning the super bowl.

Pretty much.
STL would run them easily with their staff
LA would pitch and hit well them plus revenge factor
COL is on fire again
SF would nullify their bats
its either @ la/col or @ stl. they are locked into the 3 seed.
i would love for them to be @ col. the series would be the #4 in mlb's eyes with boston, ny and la all in. the games would all be in the afternoon or at 1000. the complaining would be through the roof.
So no chance they'll pull it together with three weeks to go in the season?

And a month ago, the Phillies would have killed any of them. Its a streaky season. You have absolutely ZERO idea what will happen in any of those scenarios. COL could cool off (like last year). SF, well....Phils beat them 2 of three this past series....guess that can't happen again, can it? LA? Revenge? Please Phreak...reaching. And STL? Again, anything can happen. Run them EASILY?
wtf is wrong with you?
From ESPN:
QuoteSeveral injured Phillies pitchers are making progress. LHP Scott Eyre (elbow) hopes to throw Monday. LHP J.C. Romero (forearm) threw on flat ground and felt fine. RHP Clay Condrey (oblique) will make a rehab appearance at Double-A Reading on Saturday. LHP J.A. Happ (oblique) is progressing. Phillies INF/OF Greg Dobbs (calf) ran the bases and will do it again Saturda
But nah, having all of those guys back won't help at all.
Dobbsy! :crazy

And a month ago, the Phillies would have killed any of them. Its a streaky season.
that's the problem with the phils though. they are a streaky team. they'll go on an 8 game winning streak and cap it off winning 15 of 18. then they'll lose 6 in a row and 3 of 15. they're either up or down. they don't have prolonged stretches where they consistanly win 6 of 10.
but that's exactly what got them through the ws last year. they streaked at the right time and if oct rolls around and the phils go on one of their 12-3 tears, then they can def win it all. it's all about whether this team is hot or cold heading into the playoffs.
actually what got them to the world series was awful brewer and dodger teams and no boston in the ws
not complaining just saying
theres no brewers in the first round this year

YOu have no idea about that, IGY. Speculation is fun, isn't it? You have ABSOLUTELY no clue, with the Phils' streaking like they were in the playoffs, that they wouldn't have disposed of ANY of those teams. They weren't there for a reason. They lost at hte wrong time.
dodgers last year = awful
dodgers this year = roll the phils
got it
Quote"I look across the locker room and see a guy who gets hit with 96-mph fastballs and just runs to first base," Eyre said, referring to Chase Utleyand his threshold for pain. "So, my course of treatment? In my mind, I can deal with the pain."
Is there any doubt Utley is the leader of this team. O wait, Rollins is the leader because he likes to tell you he is, kind of like McNabb :-D
lol...was a laughing face necessary there....youre trying way to hard...and unbelivably wrong as usual
keep rockin and rollin tho.....
Yea you're right and the players are wrong igy. lololol

i'm so glad he's locked up for next year too.
and feliz gets 2 of em back.. 200th hr for the phils this year. then ruiz follows with a double... pitch hit for moyer, thanks.
utley HR. 4-3. can't wait for moyer to give the momentum right back next inning.
Rauul goes deep with Howard on.....5-4 Phils. LOL
6-4 Phils.
And Moyers had been lights out since the first inning Terri Schiavo.
6-4 rbi single - rollins.
8-4 Phils.

farg the mets.
Francoeur almost threw one to the Linc a second ago.
9-5 Vicks.
nice job shane, way to farg my fantasy team in the ass
Now Myers gave up a bomb to Wright. 9-7 Bums.
not a good bullpen
ho cheese and gimper obviously didn't bring their "stuff" to work today.
Why is there no one up in the pen?
howards chokes it up with the bases loaded.. then chokes up a routine grounder but utley bails him out.
who didn't see that coming.
gotta be farging shteinting me.
lol @ this bullpen
lol @ this team
Ha - nice job, Madson.
rofl werth literally dove out of the batters box on a curve. hahaha. chump.
Horrendous effort by the bullpen.
Holy shtein. WTF was that today? The bums have no chance in hell with the current closer situation.
All is fine in Phillie-land, folks.
Relax!!
I'm glad I missed this shtein-show today. Chokin sonsabitches
it wasnt really a choke.
myers is what he is and madson isnt a closer. sad part is this will probably open the door for lidge to close tomorrow. hooooooray.
5 runs in the last two innings to that dog of a team = massive choke
Had no idea Kendrick was going today.
Lidge with a 3-run lead against the same AAA team Kendrick shut down most of the day:
single
defensive indifference
groundout
single (5-3)
K
defensive indifference
single (5-4)
K
awesome
hes more finished than this board
give closing job to myers and ride with it. everyone else has had a fair enough opportunity.

tonight? I'm talking since he got here. Has he really had a bad outing yet?
Absolutely impressed with Pedro and what he's done to date. I have to admit I never saw this coming. What an addition.
he's gotten stronger as the game goes on too. 1st inning his fastball is around 88mph and in the 7th he was throwing it 91mph.
I just think he's going to get stronger as the season winds down. He hadn't played in so long, he's not even at his strongest yet.
107 pitches! C'mon Pedro!!

Holy shtein, amazing keeping him out there. LOL at Murphy

i can't beleive pedro went out to pitch the 8th. i can't beleive cholly left him out there after visiting the mound. i can't believe dook made the final out at 3rd. and i can't believe it's not butter.
that aint butta dunn dunn that margarine
so.....who believes that madson isn't going to blow the game for pedro? because i can't beleive that either.
i feel good about madson....i swear
Pedro looks petrified that his win will go down here.
its madsons third day in a row on the mound what could possibly go wrong here?

most pitches since he was in his 20's....pretty amazing number
we need to hang out more for me to eat you and im not the one holding that down
two 1-0 games at CBP in less than 3 weeks
and they officially ended the Mets season. was today awesome or what (except for that rib BS)
I am glad to be wrong about signing Pedro. Tonight was amazing. I love watching him pitch. I though Chuck was nuts leaving him out there, but it was cool to see the crowd go crazy.
And Madson got luuuucky. If Pete wasn't in Wheels' patented "no doubles defense" that liner is rolling around in the corner while Valdez crosses the plate.
Why in the hell does Tim Redding own this team?
yeahh pedro you sexy son of a bitch. he looked like he wanted to go out for the 9th too, lol. adios mets you sorry sacks of shtein. awesome day for philly sports.

No. He's trying to give the bullpen a break. And pitch count means nothing if the pitcher is dominating the way Lee was last night.
the team had a day off yesterday and the pen had pitched one inning since sat plus it has tons of options with the expanded roster
bring in your 13th pitcher if need be...bring in myers who needs work to get sharp....bring in kendrick...no reason whatsoever to bring lee back out...it wasnt as egregious as what he did with pedro but it was still stupid

Quote
There has been all kinds of talk in the last month about what the Phillies have not been able to do at the plate, about stranding runners in scoring position and the like. And, well, yes, there is some validity to it. But they have been in such an advantageous position for such a long time - nobody seems capable of chasing them in the NL East, up by seven games over Florida (and eight in the loss column) with only 19 left to play - that they wouldn't be human if their minds didn't wander, at least a little.
Still, even with all of that, if you go by OPS - on-base percentage plus slugging percentage - here is the last month among the four NL playoff contenders:
Phillies. . . .801
Rockies. . . .782
Cardinals. . . .760
Dodgers. . . .752
The concern? It just isn't there. So go back to worrying about something worth worrying about. You know, like the ninth inning.

Because the reaction of the guy was not what was normal. As great of a catch as it was...and how totally pissed he might have been, he just hugged his daughter close and smiled at her. It was a really sweet moment and this video is all over Facebook and stuff now.

Hahaha. Severe mental damage if I'm lucky.
I think Ho Chi Minh pulled a hamstring tonight.
Yay injuries.
This date last year the Phillies had exactly the same number of wins as today (84).
They also had seven more losses and an untouchable Brad Lidge.
It's science.

I wonder why he didn't see it coming.

Park is out 2-3 weeks
Another sweep of the Nats, Lidge reaches 30 saves (amazingly), and the Marlins lost. If Atlanta loses, the magic number drops to 9...

You realize they have guys coming back (since I specifically posted that to you a few days ago).
unless they have a time machine and can go pick up 2008 romero, madson and lidge, then there's still concerns about damn near everyone in the pen.

and they went 6-1 against those AAA teams. exactly what youre supposed to do.
25 games over .500 for the first time since 1993.
They suck.
no they are supposed to win the world series...and they wont be facing minor league teams in the playoffs

they have a real chance to do something special...its all or nothing now...no consolation the playoffs were neato prizes
of course not
but with or without lee its still a crapshoot. so drink some of your gay mixed drinks, come on over to my cousins house for rosh hasnahah dinner and stop being such a dork.
no its not...but even if it was by that theory you should never really care about a title in any sport....just have fun in the playoffs and relax...if it happens it happens right?
what other mindset should you have? we are sitting there and watching and nothing else. we have no control over the outcome. expectations are one thing, but in baseball, all you can really work for is getting to the playoffs. after that, and its up to jesus.
Quote
Carl Crawford lashed out at Pat Burrell last night, screaming across the Tampa Bay Rays clubhouse before a game in Baltimore.
Burrell ignored him, Crawford was ushered out of the room by a teammate, and manager Joe Maddon pronounced it no big deal. Crawford refused to comment on the situation and Burrell, as usual, blew off the media.
These things happen in any workplace, let alone those in which employees spend virtually every day for eight months working and traveling together. So most likely it was no big deal. Crawford and Burrell, after all, trained together during the offseason for many years at Athletes' Performance in Phoenix.
Then again, everything you need to know about the state of the Tampa Bay Rays, perhaps the most disappointing team in baseball this season south of Queens, can be seen in Crawford and Burrell.
Crawford is the fastest man in baseball, a bundle of energy who always seems to have a spring in his step. Burrell is perhaps the slowest man in the game, a guy with a perpetual scowl on his face who seems to suck the energy out of a room like a Harry Potter dementor.
Crawford is a conditioning freak whose work ethic matches his God-given gifts. He's a spokesman for the Tobacco Free Florida campaign and baseball's RBI program. Burrell usually has a big wad of tobacco in his jaw, smokes the occasional cigarette, and has the body of a much older man.
Crawford is a stand-up guy, always accountable to teammates and the media. Burrell is a loner who usually blows off the press unless he homered during the game.
Crawford has a $10 million option for next season. Because of his five-tool talent, consistent play, and youth, teams will call with trade offers this winter. Because of the way the Rays keep payroll low to remain profitable, quite profitable according to Forbes magazine, the team likely will pick up his option and trade him at some point in 2010.
Burrell has $9 million guaranteed for next season. Because of his one-dimensional skill set and underachieving play, nobody will call with trade offers this winter. Because of the way the Rays keep payroll low to remain profitable, they have to allocate a sizable chunk of next year's payroll to Burrell, who is immovable in every sense of the word.
Crawford is a three-time All-Star who turned 28 last month who has earned $21 million in his career. Burrell is a zero-time All-Star who will be 33 next month who has collected $60 million in his career.
The Rays' signing of Crawford to a long-term contract before the 2005 season, buying out the first and possibly second years of free agent eligibility, looks like the shrewdest financial move in team history, though the long-term deal handed to Evan Longoria might one day eclipse it.
The Rays' signing of Burrell might not be as bad as the contracts handed to Greg Vaughn, Wilson Alvarez, and Juan Guzman, but it's the worst move by Andrew Friedman, who usually places a premium on defense, speed, and clubhouse chemistry.
Next season Crawford likely will be playing elsewhere, if not on Opening Day then by midseason. Next season Burrell will be playing in Tampa Bay unless the Rays agree to pay at least $7 million of his contract in trade.
Last night, Crawford called out Burrell, not that it will do much good for the Rays now. It's Burrell, after all, whose contract and play might seal Crawford's early departure.

no it isnt...its why some teams are better than others...its why detroit has no chance at a title this year but the yankees red sox and phillies do...if the phillies had little to no chance in the playoffs this year i could see where youre coming from
the mindset you should have if for this team to become a special one and make history...and if they dont throw your head thru a window...your ladi dodi flowerchild whatever happens happens attitude belongs in atlanta or california...not with the phils...turn in your card immediately
what card? my blue cross/blue shield? i need that.
your (jew) gold card
Interesting article; I wonder what caused Crawford to go apeshtein...
Also re: PG's 25 games over comment....that's great. But it's at the end of the year and they have bullpen issues and bench issues. They built a nice lead and will have a nice record, but if they suck in the playoffs none of that means anything
hamels has been much better in his last 4 starts (3-1). he might be in position to start "turning it on" now because he's pitching significanlty less innings this year than last. last year he pitched 227.1 innings in the reg season and so far this year, he's only thrown 177 innings and he's got probably 3, maybe 4 scheduled starts left this year, so even if he were to pitch cg in each on, that's still only going to put him around the 200 inning mark. and since it looks like the phils should be able to wrap up the division relatively easily, cholly can skip his last start....maybe even 2 and get the rotation set for the playoffs.
yeah, it would be nice to give some of the starters a blow since the relievers are dropping like its hot. i guess the over use in the beginning of the year finally caught up. lee is well over 200 i believe it would be nice to have him fresh... and its almost a blessing in disguise that happ got hurt since he's never pitched this much in a season. hopefully they wrap this up soon.

Looking at that perpetual scowl on Burrell's face all year finally led Crawford to snap.
The Phillies are 15-3 against the Nats and 70-57 against everyone else including 6-12 against the AL. They have serious bullpen issues, and they haven't been hitting the ball consistently all year (other than home runs anyway).
It's nice that they have a big lead but let's take a second and breathe before annointing them as anything other than a good team with serious flaws.
luckily, every other team heading into the postseason has flaws as well.
yankees - other than cc, their starting rotation not very impressive although petite is a proven postseason pitcher. their offense is great in ny, but so-so on the road...only 97 of their 223 hr have been on the road. and the phils did go 2-1 against them this year and easily should have swept (lidge).
dodgers/cardinals - can't score. dodgers won 4 of 7 against the phils but the 4 game series in la is another woulda, shoulda coulda been a sweep (lidge).
phils went 4-1 vs the cards, hitting .324 as a team and scored 40 runs against them. I have nothing to contribute.
angels - they have the worst team era (4.56) of any team currently in a playoff position and are ranked 23rd in all of baseball. they also have a 4.57 era out of the bullpen. the angels really don't matter though because they're going to get swept by boston in the first round anyway.
only the dodgers and cardinals have better overall numbers from their pitching staffs in terms of era. dodgers are ranked 1 in mlb (3.41) followed by the cardinals at 4 (3.66) and then the phillies at 7 (4.09)
boston (10), texas (13), detroit (14), nyy (18) and laa (23)
the phils might also have the best starting rotation going in to the playoffs as well. cards have a great 1/2 but not much after. if the giants manage to get in, then maybe they have the best rotation but right now they are on the outside looking in.
the phils also have the luxury now of having possibly 4 pitchers in the bullpen with starting exp (myers, park, moyer, happ/pedro)
this will come in quite handy in the event that a starter gets knocked out early or an early rain delay and requires a pitcher to come in and hold the fort down for 4 or 5 innings. no other team in baseball has that luxury right now.
who knows if any of this crap makes a difference though. if it did, then there'd be no point in watching.
just beat the fargin braves
sarge is right the phils are far from perfect but so is almost everyone else but maybe the sox and yankees...the phillies are at worst the #3 favorite in MLB going into the playoffs and when looking at it common sensically they are tied for first with maybe three four other teams....this is different than say last year where no one thought they were going to win it all
cliff lees presence as a game 2 starter cannot be underestimated
so you go hamels/lee in the playoffs and not the other way around?
if hamels pitches in his next 2 starts like he has in his last 4, then maybe i can buy off on that. otherwise, i think you gotta go with lee.
I heard Steve Phillips' bitchass talking about this the other day and I agreed...I think Hamels, especially with how he's throwing now, gets the Game One nod. He's an OG and he's money in the playoffs.
Hamels
Lee
So who pitches game three?
Blanton, Pedro or Happ?
Although Happ is gettin' the hook early because he injured himself. Looks like he tweaked the side muscle again

you have to give it to hamels for seniority and of course his double mvp post season last year....its a no brainer imo and would be a huge slap in the face of hamels if he wanst the game one guy

QuoteTRADE REVIEW OF THE WEEK: It takes years to fully evaluate a trade, of course, but Indians fans aren't happy about the early returns of the deal that sent Cliff Lee to the Phillies 2 days before the deadline.
To recap, going into last night's game at Oakland: Righthander Carlos Carrasco was 0-2, 9.64 and had allowed six homers in 14 innings, catcher Lou Marson was batting .154 in four starts, infielder Jason Donald ended the year on the disabled list at Triple A Columbus and Jason Knapp had shoulder surgery this week.

I didn't realize how horrible Rollins is this year.
BA: .247
OBP: 291
SLG: 414
Just wow. If Rollins was half the player he was the past two years this offense would be insane.
a lot of that is due to his very poor start that lasted basically the first half of the year.
pre all-star:
BA: .229
OBP: .287
SLG: .355
post all-star:
BA: .270
OBP: .296
SLG: .491
he hasn't been lighting the world on fire or anything since the break, but he has been significantly better in the 2nd half than in the first with big increases in his BA and SLG. only a mild improvement in his OBP.
but yeah, overall he's had a down year. he's still pimp though and my favorite current phillie and probably top 5 all time fave.
Akers was airborne! C'mon ref.
The .291 OBP is just embarassing, and it hasn't gotten any better in the second half.
He has prett much turned into a better defensive Larry Bowa.

Oh shtein, wrong thread. I didn't realize I was so despondent during the birds game. It was a long morning.
Hey Phils won!!! This should help with the depression. Nah, the Bud Lights at my nephew's bday party tonight will help.
nice easy game after the rain delay until Lidge decided to F around again......4-2 final and the magic # is now 6
Saw that on the box score. How bad was he? The other relievers pitched great. Why didn't Moyer pitch after the rain delay? Is he only reserved for when there are rain delays during Pedro starts?
It's getting to the point where when I look up the Phils' box score, I expect to see at least a 1 in the opponent's 9th inning column.
QuoteBrett Myers has possible shoulder strain
Wondering why Brett Myers had not pitched since Sept. 12? He has a possible shoulder strain. Here's Ruben Amaro Jr.: a few minutes ago:
"He's got some soreness in the back of his shoulder. We've been kind of protecting him. I guess he sustained it about eight or 10 days ago....He's scheduled to see (team physician) Mike Ciccotti on Tuesday to see if there is anything realy serious about it. (The training staff) is saying it's a possible strain."
Amaro said that he did not believe Myers returned too soon from hip surgery, but may have pitched too often once back.

Werth can't recall the precise sequence and declines to identify the player who engaged him in conversation. But he was standing at second base when an unnamed Tampa Bay Ray sidled up and asked a question that told him all he needed to know about Philadelphia's impact on opposing psyches.
"One of their infielders came up to me and said, 'Do you like it here?'" Werth recalls. "He was so distraught in the middle of the game about the people in this town, and I knew then that we had them.
"They were so rattled, because they didn't feel like they could even walk down the street. They were uncomfortable just being in Philadelphia. Look at Evan Longoria -- he didn't get a hit the whole World Series. [Longoria actually went 1-for-20.] I'm not saying it's because of what the fans did. But I'm not saying it wasn't, either."

i doubt it if the conversation took place at 2nd base. gotta either be a ss or 2b.
I don't think there's any question who it was. It had to be Jason Bartlett because the Rays had Iwamura starting at 2nd and I doubt he speaks English well enough to converse with Werth in any meaningful manner.
i think you mean engrish
My guess is Longoria.
Werth was probably on base when Howard was up which means they were shifted over. So Longoria would've been there. Plus the crowd was on his ass from the jump. The EEEEEEEEVAAAAAAAAA chants were loud and from start to end.
your guess sucks.

An MRI in Philadelphia today showed that Myers suffered a grade one strain of his right latissimus dorsi (back) muscle, a team spokesman announced last night. Myers is scheduled to throw a bullpen session next Tuesday, and the Phillies hope—but did not guarantee—that he would return by the end of the regular season.
Reached by telephone this afternoon, Myers told the Inquirer that he was optimistic about appearing in a game early next week.
"I think I could be ready by the homestand," which begins Monday, Myers said. "My strength is good."\
Myers' injury could have been a side effect of making five relief appearances in seven days after returning from the disabled list. The righthander did not pitch in a major-league game from May 27-Sept 5 because of right hip surgery.
Phils reliever Chad Durbin suffered the same injury earlier this season, and said that it affected his mechanics and lowered his arm angle.
If Myers is able to return, he will then need to demonstrate—as will all the injured Phils relievers who hope to come back this season—that he can be healthy and effective enough to contribute in the postseason.
***
Also some changes in the rotation: The Phillies flipped Pedro Martinez and Cliff Lee. Lee will start Friday at Milwaukee, and Martinez is tentatively scheduled for Saturday's game.
J.A. Happ will start on Thursday, good news for a team concerned about the lefthander's nagging side muscle strain.
Martinez left Saturday's loss to Atlanta after three innings with neck stiffness. He saw a chiropractor after arriving in Miami, and the Phillies hope that the extra day of rest will be sufficient.
Martinez played catch yesterday, and also created some confusion by appearing to mention a new injury. "I feel a little bit better," he said. "I think I had a rib out of place."
General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. seemed unaware of the apparent rib issue, and was hopeful that Martinez would be ready Saturday.
Latissimus Dorsi!
I wonder if someone would name their kid that.
Hello, I'd like you to meet my wife Katie and our son Latissimus.
like anyone would ever be able to figure out what a litissimus dorsi is.
its beyond a joke at this point
manuel: wake up. please. pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease.
Everything is fine!
They lost that farging game?!?!?!?!?
Nope. No reason to worry! Bullpen = fantastic!
i blame the rain.
At this point I'm more surprised when he saves one...
at this point he shouldn't be on the playoff roster, he serves no purpose. i hope manuel doesn't think his loyalty to lidge will be equal to the fans loyalty for him if he's stupid enough to keep putting that abortion of a closer on the mound.
I stopped following the game in the 8th, and based on what I see here I guess there's no reason for me to find a recap. Goddamn, I can't believe it happened again.
Ok, not to panic................yet. For the Braves to catch the Phils, the Bums will need to go 4-7 and the Braves will have to go 10-0 over the next week and a half.

Me too. I didn't know what happened until I read Todd's comments.
Use Myers as the closer. Please!
myers is hurt...but even if he somehow got healthy youre going to trust him in a playoff game after surgery and 8 appearances on the whole year??
i go closer by commitee with score and situation dictating who you bring in each game

not really worried about the phils choking up the division. but it's 2 weeks before playoff time and the phils don't have anything even remotely close to an answer for the 8th or 9th inning. it'd be one thing if madson was money but he's giving up runs whenever he takes the mound too.
bullpen. failure.

He's a FA to be. So I would pitch him until his arm falls off (then he could swing around the lifeless arm to beat his wife).
But he's joining the team again today, said he's ready to go and medical reports checked out OK. And honestly, he has the attitude to gut through it.
Myers with his questionable health
Madson
Lidge
Who ya gonna trust there?
Closer by committee?
Chan Ho = hurting
Romero = arm issues
Eyre = arm issues
They got nothin' but hope.
What a mess.
if i had to name someone closer id name pedro....but i dont know why people worry so much about about having to annoint one guy...game to game basis is what id ultimately do
But again, whose your committee? Look at what they have out there.
I'd be cool with Pedro.
madson - pedro - happ - lidge ect....
whoever the hell is available and ready and matches up best with the situation at hand
Its gonna take Dubee and Charlie doing a helluva lot of matching up.
I only hope that somehow they figure it out. Whether it be the committe, Lidge finds magic or whatever.

this is quite possibly the most intelligent thing you have posted
thanks buddy
I think you have to give Pedro the nod as the fourth starter in the playoffs.
He's better than Happ, maybe even better than cupcakes and we currently have no loogy that is active who doesnt have a giant piece of bone floating around in his pitching arm.
pedro takes an inning to warm up as a starter usually yielding a run or two in the process. if their going to use a starter as an option i'd go with happ, who has experience in the playoffs coming out of the bullpen and keep pedro as the 4th starter.
Lol @ letting charlie match up. This is over this thing. At least the mets still suck
did anyone just see dude on the Brewers maker that triple? cute slide into 3rd
I missed it.
But Corey Hart looks like he's straight outta Deliverance.
the phillies should score minimum 25 runs this series with the pitching they are facing

it wasnt a 10-4 win?
it seemed more like an observation rather than bitching to me.
it's funny because after every eagles game, win or lose, there's a thread talking about the good, bad and ugly and there's never anything wrong with that.
When the Eagles win a Super Bowl and then go on to have another successful season where they are back in first place the next year.....it'll be another story.

I don't see the bitching part in this comment. Appladed a fantastic play by Feliz and Howard, who had a rough time on an earlier play in the game, dropped it.
The bitching and moaning about the bullpen will continue until it gets better. Weren't you a little concerned when Durbin, Walker and Condrey came in?
Trust me, I am aware my complaining goes overboard. Try and watch a phils game with me. My wife leaves the room when Phils highlights are on ESPN or I'm watching a game on mlb.com. Even my diehard Yankee and Red Sox buddies tell me I'm brutal. Like I said earlier, lots of heartache the past 38 years has made me bitter.
That's why I love this board. Everyone speaks their mind and god forbid we ever turn into something like that taterskins site. I never was good at poetry.
Ha - why are you explaining yourself, dude? Post whatever the farg you want and if someone has a problem with it, let them rant and rave about it. Either way it's entertaining as hell.

Didn't realize that 11 blown saves is the most in the NL since 98. 2009 Lidge needs to be aborted.
lord knows the hater in me would never tell don or anyone else not to bitch but in this case i actually agree with pg and feel like dh was a little crazy with the critique
on another topic is anyone else other than me done with cliff lee...i gave him a 100% pass on that awful stretch he had....and i dont even need complete games from him...but farging enough with the 5 runs in the first two innings shtein...its beyond old
I missed the first inning. What the hell happened? Not done with Lee but shtein he's not looked so great recently.
he got absolutely raked in the first inning....of course the offense will shtein the bed for 8 innings again against a terrible pitcher but its annoying as farg how many times cliff lee implodes in the 1st or 2nd inning
Men at 2nd and 3rd ,Choke up. And Choke delivers.
Did you see Lester get drilled in the knee with a line drive in the Yankee game? Nasty.
I give the Brewers fans credit. Team is out of the race but they still have a nice turnout at Miller Park. Rockies leading the wildcard, Cardinals in town, Pujols, Friday night and Coors Field looks empty.
no doubt......brewer fans are awesome and very underrated
cliff lee = fraud
Get Halladay!
Lol igy hatin on lee tryin to start that bandwagon. Nice try pg county dope
Stairs is more finished than lidge. Jesus this time aint winnin one playoff game
Lol jimmy rollins is dumber than victorino
Yo wassup hotlanta yall stillupfront's moms want this bitch?
There is too many things not going right at this time of the year to even think they have a shot at doing anything in the playoffs.
1. I know Mayberry is a youngin', but goddamn dude...there is a 2-0 count and you've got TWO guys on base in a 3-run game and you hack at some high shtein on the 2-0 pitch?! Milt Thompson should have smacked him in the head as soon as he got into the dugout.
2. Cliff Lee...stop the big innings and show some command on your pitches.
3. Matt Stairs, much like Brad Lidge, thank you for last year. I still get chills thinking about the sight of the ball deep into the night sky in LA. But when you are swinging under an 86mph pitch...you're cooked.
4. The catching situation...
5. Bullpen, bullpen, bullpen
aint in the cards jay.
they won last year be happy with that. too much gotta work out again...it just aint possible.
I'm coming to the realization of that. I know its extremely hard to repeat. Hell, no NL team has done it since the Big Red Machine.
But its aggravating to see such crappy play while knowing it could be very possible they could repeat.
The only thing to hope for is that they quit bullshteintin' once its go time. Maybe all this respect and fear of disappointing King Utley the players have will kick in.
Remain calm, it's only September 25.
Good point Phreak. I didn't realize no NL team has repeated since the Reds. Was Toronto the last team to repeat?

I can't see the game because it started early and was not on EI...
But I'm following it on-line and I see they've pissed away a lead. JRoll with a piss poor error to allow two to score.
Come on, iceholes

Welcome to the dark side. IGY, Phreak and I welcome you with open arms.
Could you imagine this bullpen in a tight playoff game? I can't even imagine this bullpen with a 7 run lead. Tyler farging Walker? Please.

Holy shtein!
lol so now madsons the guy. chooooooooooooooooooooooke.
I left the bar and it was 6-1.
I got home and it was 6-5.
And then EI switched the game off in the bottom of the 9th to a WC game.
Same here. Left the bar it was 6-1, got home and it's 6-5. Hey, they won and Madson pitched ok. I'll take it.
Let's clinch this thing against Ed Wade's JV team and enjoy the weekend.
I sure hope so Don. But the Lastros seem to have the Phils number going back to the Biggio pimp slap of Billy Wags...
Harry: "Oh no"
cant seem them choking now
if they lose today then yea its on but pullin out a 1 run game was key.
they aren't facing Oswalt or Wandy Rodriguez. Anything less than 3 out of 4 is unacceptable....

Yeah, I think after he dropped like three oh noes, he said you've gotta be kidding me.
I dont think LA was in the booth then because it would have been the 9th inning and that means Wheels would have been in there.
we need to end this against the astros. the fla. series needs to be a time of rest for the starters.
They have been looking like shtein on the road trip, mostly because of how they just can't close out games and how this offense can't put runs on the board unless it's in the form of a home run.
I would hope they will wrap up the division in the Astros series. Who knows which team will show up though.
The only consolation would be that the rest of the NL absent the Braves are playing around .500 ball, so unless the Braves squeak in the playoffs there should be an equal level of suckiness in the NL where the Phils could at least make it competitive and maybe win their first round series and with a few breaks who knows. Hell, I didn't think they would do much last year either and look what happened...
The only problem is that if the Phils are fortunate enough to make it back to the Series, the AL is far and away superior this year (as in most years). The Phils wouldn't be facing a bunch of rookies on a hot streak in the World Series this year if they would somehow make it back there.
It seems like once a team gets in the playoffs it is a whole new season. Some teams shtein the bed and the others make the needed plays. Right now I'm completely confused with respect to this team because they are so streaky offensively and in the starting rotation.
I guess the one constant is how unreliable the back end of the bullpen has been this year. If that continues it is hard to imagine them advancing or doing much damage in the post season.
They went 5-5 on the trip. Blew a few games sure. But it wasn't atrocious
Yeah, it was just the way they lost some of those games. Blowing leads in the ninth doesn't instill confidence for an October run.
Like I said, most of the teams in the NL aren't lighting the world on fire (the Dodgers are getting smoked by the Pirates of all teams...), which is why I think the Phils have the potential to do some damage in the playoffs. It should be a pretty even field of teams so hopefully last year's experience helps a bit for this team.

Tyler Walker to the rescue. Suck or not the Braves are beating the Marlins as we speak.
Holy farg.
The choke is back on
Guarantee Lidge mows their ass down.
So when does shteinting your pants become a legitimate response to the way they are currently playing? If they are only up 2? 4 games doesn't seem like enough for me right now...
I'm staying out of this until/if/when they clinch but my shorts are something dirty right now. 4 measley hits.
Jesus
farging
CHRIST!!!!!!!
They got whupped by a team that:
1. was 0-6 in their last six road games, getting swept by Milwaukee and Cincy.
2. Fired their manager and are playing it out
3. Started a pitcher who hadn't won a game in TWO years.
lol
These fargs are going to lose the division...
ATL has ripped off another 7 game streak. They have won 15 of 17!
Phils have a 4 game lead.
The pitching can not get a goddamn LLWS team out right now.
Epic choke forthcoming.
Season's over. Time to move on.
lol this almost might just be worth it to see phreaks head explode
bunch of dogs
well at least Atlanta can't catch them before the end of this series, so there's that...
btw Saturday's game was moved to FOX
Better chance of happening
1 igy gets wheels' book

You know damn well it's all about momentum and how a team finishes the season. Look at what the Rockies did in 2007.
This team is limping into the playoffs.
I'm no hater, but I don't have a lot of confidence either.

I will.
the cardinals might have limped in in 06 but the phillies are a notoriously streaky team, so it is understandable to want to see them win a couple games convincingly. no dramatics, bats waking up.. etc. sort of like tonight. hopefully they build on this and go into the postseason hot. its nice to see madson locking down the ass end of the bullpen. i saw lidge warming up after the 8th and almost shtein all over the place. also nice to see romero back and hopefully myers can get into some resemblance of his former bullpen self. hope the moyer injury isn't too serious. i think he just thought he gave up the homer and faked the injury.
every playoff team in the nl is limping into the playoffs. the farging dodgers just got their asses handed to them by the farging pirates.

Quote"You've got to be tough, and you've got to be mentally tough. I think that's one thing in common I've got with Philadelphia. They always say how mentally tough, or how tough they are, how rough they are? I belong here, then. Because I've been tough, and ever since I've been in baseball, I've been a fighter, and I come to whip your ass every day. If I can beat you 100-0 I will everyday."
Charlie is great
The streakiness of the Phils is probably the concern going into the final games. Plus, there were some relatively close parallels with what the Braves were doing and what the Phils have done the past two seasons. The margin that needed to be narrowed was much larger but still those thoughts creep in the back of your mind.
Plus, I think we've been spoiled from last year. I want to say the Phils were 88-0 with a lead going into the 9th inning last year. This year I want to say they have around 12 losses when they had a lead going into the 9th inning. The ability to close out games with this team is a real concern that doesn't engender a lot of confidence.
they've gotta have more than 12. lidge has blown 11 saves and i think madson has blown between 4 and 6. so that's 15-17 blown leads in the 9th alone and i'm sure that another reliever or 2 has probably blown a game in the 9th as well.
and i think the phils have lost close to 25 games that they led heading into the 8th inning as well. we knew that madson and lidge wouldn't be as lights out as they were last year because that type of success is almost impossible to sustain in a sport like baseball, but you gotta figure if they were even half of what they were last year, you could easily chalk another 10-12 wins up there for the phils.
this team really, truly could/should be up there with the yankees.

Believe it or not the Phillies actually lead the NL in Saves with 44 and are only 6th worst in blown saves with 22.
The Dodgers have 26 blown saves to "lead" the league.
Sheesh.
I didn't want to overstate it because not every blown save results in a loss and not every loss means that the Phils had a lead in the 9th inning either (it could have been tied going into the 9th and they just came out on the losing end). So without going back and looking I didn't want to equate every blown save with a loss. And I think I do remember the Phils end up winning some games in late innings when Lidge blew saves early too.
But evidently it has been too many times to really be comfortable with the ability to hold late inning leads.
the dodgers are probably the only playoff team that has bigger bullpen issues than the phils. they came into the season having no established closer on the roster but no one seemed to notice because they resigned manny.

Yeah, it seems like blown saves are more common than we would imagine. Lidge is having a tremendously poor individual year, but it seems like all the other teams have their blown saves "spread out" over numerous pitchers. If you look at some pens I'm sure you'll find pitchers that are 2/5 in save opportunities, etc. and in the aggregate that probably leads to a pretty zesty save percentage.

sucks about moyer. not that he's a huge loss or anything, but you gotta feel bad for the guy to basically have his career end that way. i became a fan of his when i lived in seattle back in the mid/late 90's and was glad to see him come to philly. he's had a hell of a career for a guy who never had dominating stuff.
Sucks about Moyer.

This is about the only time I'd like to see Lidge. For one out in a game with a 7 run lead.
Amazing ending in Atlanta.
Wild pitch with the bases loaded, the Atlanta runner on third freezes halfway down the line, the Marlins catcher recovers the ball and guns him out at third.
Oh, and the Phils won.
Yay.
Well, the East is clinched for the third straight year for the first time since '78. Anyone who seriously thought they were going to lose the lead can wash out their vadges now. The Phils are in.

QuotePhillies' Manuel lets players celebrate
By Ray Parrillo
Inquirer Staff Writer
A Phillies official motioned toward Charlie Manuel to join the champagne-spraying celebration in the clubhouse across the hall from his office last night.
Manuel shook him off and said no. He later said the Phillies' third successive National League East Division title was not about him. It was about the players. And, besides, he'll be there for the big one.
It was a gesture that said so much about the homespun manager.
"I let them celebrate because it's more their celebration and I like it that way better," he said. "They're the ones who play. They're the ones who got it done and that's kind of how I like it."
Earlier, Manuel had made a move that also revealed much about him and how he genuinely cares for his players.
There were two outs in the ninth inning of the Phillies' 10-3 win over Houston at Citizens Bank Park. The title was wrapped up when Manuel took that familiar, slow amble toward the mound and signaled for Brad Lidge.
As far as Manuel was concerned, he was already looking ahead to the postseason, and his beleaguered closer - or, for now, former closer - needed a confidence boost. As Lidge prepared for his warm-ups, the din from the towel-waving crowd increased. And everything went the way Manuel figured it would. Juiced by the supporting crowd, Lidge threw one pitch to end the clincher.
"I wanted him to pitch in front of the crowd," Manuel said.
"I thought it would be good for him and the crowd. They responded kind of like the way I thought they would. First of all, I've said all along I didn't want to get away from Lidge. That I wasn't going to shoot him or anything. It was an ideal situation to put him in. My whole intention all along was to get his confidence back up because I know he's got talent and ability.
"You know," he added with a grin, "when he came in and threw warm-up pitches, he was throwing the ball harder than he had the last few days."
Meanwhile, Manuel continues to grow in stature in a city that took a while to embrace him. He became the second Phillies manager to win three straight division titles, joining Danny Ozark, whose teams won three in a row from 1976 to '78. Ironically, Manuel did it on the same day the Cleveland Indians fired manager Eric Wedge and his coaching staff. Manuel was fired as the Indians' manager midway through the 2002 season, even though the Tribe won 90 and 91 games the previous two seasons under him.
"Maybe I was part of the problem," Manuel said with a shrug before last night's game.
Manuel said that this division title felt just as good as the previous two, but that it seemed this one came a little bit harder even though the other two were clinched later in the season.
"They all feel good, but I felt like this one was a little bit harder than the others because all year long I heard people talk about how good we were and everything," he said. "We do have a great team, but at the same time we've had pitching problems all year long. Our bullpen went down on us from the start of the season, and we played short all year."
Manuel was pleased but far from satisfied. That will only happen if the Phillies can go on to successfully defend their World Series championship.
Asked if that was the message he would tell the players, he said he already had when he held a team meeting before Tuesday's win.
"I did a lot of that [Tuesday], if you want to know the truth," he said. "They know it's the first step. They've been there before. They know what it's all about."
Apparently, the message got through. The Phillies won the next two games
Two solid moves by Charlie.
Unlike that douchebag Tony LaRussa, and many other MLB managers, Charlie doesn't seek the spotlight.

Yeah I have a pic of him taking the bottle of vodka and chugging it and then more or less refusing to give it back while the float is driving away. He also didn't have that red hulk fist at that point in the parade. He must have gotten that from someone else along the route.

Damn, when's the last time Bruntlett played? I almost forgot about him
probably when he recorded that triple play.
so should the phils worry about trying to pass the dodgers, or start resting for the playoffs?
Home field would be great but some of these guys need a break. The Doyers sure are acting like they could give a shtein recently. Rockies can still win the west but they have not played well in LA this year where they'll be all weekend.
home field means nothing until the world series when the phils have to start matching up the worst bench in the majors with american league dh's
i disagree only because if you start on the road, especially in the case of the phils, they could either travel to la or colorado and would be better starting off at home where they don't have to travel. hopefully, the dodgers and rockies wear themselves out this weekend.

You need help.
For what? Pointing out that Bruntlett is a waste of space?
That Cliff Lee still doesn't look sharp?
Or that Myers looked rusty?
What the hell is wrong with any of that?
Don't bring me into this.
all valid points. it would be nice to see some sharpness. hamels and lee both haven't really looked good as of late.
all of the philies' problems.....inconsistant starting pitching, depleted pen and no solid closer are all blessings in disquise as they will only strengthen the bond and resolve of this team for the playoffs.
Lee is a concern but he pitched ok tonight. Didn't he retire something like 13 of 15 batters after his shakey start?
Good to see Francisco hitting the ball. Good night for him.
Bruntlet, oh dear god. He is just awful. Charlie should have had Victorino or Utley hit for him late in the game.
4 for 15 with RISP sure didn't help things.

I'm still waiting to hear how I need help for pointing out those things....
myers needs to pitch. his results are meaningless.
bruntlett is on the team because he can play ss and 2b. his offensive production is meaningless.
lee looked awful. this is a concern.
He can't even play SS/2B well. I'm more comfortable with Miguel Cairo. I'd be more comfortable with Mickey Morandini being pulled outta retirement to play rather than The Bearded One
we know this but it is what it is
if utley or rollins dont get injured then he doesnt come off the bench. also hell be gone after this year.
lee is the biggest fraud since kaiser souzai
As Uggla will probably be gone next year and hopefully in the AL, I hope someone plunks him in his noggin' this weekend. Just to say "So long icehole."
he really is one of the more hatable players in the league
I guess HFA doesn't matter to them.
Blanton got tuned up.
And no, I don't have problems.
they sat jimmy and a couple other guys
clearly rest > home field
and really it aint a big deal. hottest team will win regardless of location.
Quote from: MDS on October 03, 2009, 12:53:10 AM
hottest team will win regardless of location.
Which scares the shtein out of me. Here's to the Rockies sweeping the Doyers.
I know they need to rest guys, but even with them sitting out the pitching should be good enough to carry them. Hell, if Blanton pitches even half as good as he should they win the game. Everything he threw tonight was elevated and got smashed.
I think getting HFA is important.
Also...
Romero to Zolecki:
QuoteJ.C. Romero said his season is finished. "I'm done, bro. I'm done."
That sucks about Romero.
Agreed on the pitching. Blanton got into a hole early being down 4-2. Marlins were teeing off on him. Same with Lee last night but that was more on the offense going 5 for 14 with RISP.
The Rockies/Dodgers game is great. Bottom 8, 4-3 Rockies.
home field is not important
07 rockies sweep phillies out of cbp. 08 phils dont lose here.
hotter team wins. especially for a team like the phillies who player real well on the road.
also blanton is mediocre and his hot streak is again being balanced off by a cold streak. hes a 4th starter, this will happen to them.
dont be mad at him, be mad at lee and hamels if they shtein the bed next week. they are elite pitchers, not fatty joe.

You're right; Lee and Hamels should be the ones to be worried about. And the hot team is always dangerous, but I think HFA always comes into play.
Absolutely. Good call on Blanton. He's a 4 and we need to live with it. His post season last year was off the charts and he came up huge everytime he was called upon.
When it comes down to it, it's Hamels and Lee who need to deliver.
But despite Blanton being a 4, he has to basically be the #3 guy because they need him to do what he does best; be effective and eat innings. Especially with the bullpen being the equivalent of a toilet the morning after a night of Miller Lite's and Taco Bell.
I don't know how the rotation will shape up, but I assume that they will keep Happ in there as the #3 if they face COL because of their LH hitters. If they face LA, then it will probably mean Happ goes to the BP as a LH guy to replace Romero and help Eyre.
And if Happ is out of the rotation, they need Blanton to be solid. What is Pedro going to give them? Is he healthy enough after the neck strain/130 pitch Mets game or whatever to be effective?
QuoteRighty reliever Chan Ho Park, whose last appearance was Sept. 16 vs. Washington (he had been on the DL with a strained right hamstring), almost certainly will miss the first round of the playoffs. He injured his arm during an instructional league in Florida on Thursday.
"Chan Ho, I don't think, is going to make this first round — unless we get a miracle," Manuel said.
Said Park: "I'm still waiting for the doctor [Phillies team physician Michael Ciccotti]. I did an MRI in the morning today [Friday] It's too bad. I had damn good stuff. I felt so good, my arm felt really strong."
Quote10: Games lost when leading after eight innings by the Phillies, most in the majors. It makes the fact that they've won heir third straight division championship that much more impressive.
Lost again to the farging guppies.
Nothing like going into the playoffs in total free fall.
:yay
Playoff ready.
all is well
clinched the #2 seed
Calm down pusses
Lackluster.
Will they win a game in the first round?
Ok, Rockies @ Phillies beginning on Wednesday.
Jorge De La Rosa left early tonight with tightness in his groin. If he's lost for any amount of time, thats a big loss for them.
I don't recall the stats, but COL is not very good against LHP this year, so I would expect to see Happ make the start in game 3.
One of my boys has one of those "World farging Champions" shirts and he went up to the game today and said they made him take it off because it was too offensive.
Is this Philly anymore?

Wearing a shirt like that is no better than wearing a shirt with a confederate flag on it. Sure, you'll HEAR worse but that doesn't make it right.
Class it up, Munson.
Yes, one of the most memorable and awesome quotes about a sports championship from someone who will soon be a legend in the city if he isn't already is definitely the same as wearing the confederate flag.
Definitely.

It was awesome because of the context of the moment. If every time Utley was at bat, he grabbed a mic and said "World farging champions! farg farg farg!" that would be douchey, just like wearing the shirt to a game.
Now wearing it to a sports bar or a party with friends or something is different.
What if the people hosting the party had children?
Seriously, come off it retards. It's ridiculous, especially in Philly, that they made him take the shirt off. Period.
Exactly.
Wearing it to the games is trashy. Wearing it to a friends house, to play basketball or some shtein like that is fine.
Regardless of it being a memorable quote, which it was.
that shirt is ok in very few spots
lounging around the house, pick up ball, a quick stop to the store; that kind of thing
at a game is beyond trashy and its not even remotely comical that munson cant see that. what a flaming piece of trailer park trash.
Never thought I'd see the day philly fans crying because a shirt spells farging with a Ph and is too offensive.
Grow your balls back.
ive heard this multiple times this year, they just make you turn it inside out. And honestly, its trashy to be around kids wearing it, unless its at a party
It's trashy to be screaming f bombs during the game when you know there are kids around you. And it's even worse at Eagles games.
Not one parent in CBP would go up to a guy wearing a World PH-ucking Champions shirt and complain. And most would say nice shirt.
lol this is great
wearing any kind of cursing or derivatives of cursing on a t shirt is trashy. plain and simple.
YEs, except at a party. But not at a sporting event. Okay, right.
Not a chance in the world you don't immediately put that shirt on if given to you at the park, jewfag.

Munson, follow the logic here. No one is saying its too offensive. But there is a time and place to wear that shtein. And this is coming from someone who wears the f word out.
Because I wouldn't wear that shirt in public at the game means I have no balls? Does that take away from the Philly fan persona?
I'm saying not one of you would say a word to a guy at the ball park wearing the shirt about "class" or any of that BS. Beyond that, most of you drunkards would see the shirt and probably say it out loud.
And yes, it is Philadelphia....Phillies fans aren't exactly Eagles fans, but the amount of half naked women at Phillies games and the drunk 20somethings cursing up a storm...and you people are trying to talk about class when it comes to a WFC T shirt? Really?
Lying through your teeth. And keyboard.
I went to about 20 games this year. There were no half naked women. and I would know because I was looking for them.
What parking lot you been tailgatin in? The amount of red shorts rolled up to the ass cheeks is in the hundreds.
Say what you want about Phillies fans....there are a hell of a lot of good looking girls.
munson being trashy?
shocking
IGY being a hypocrite?
More shocking.
lol at munson not being able to comprehend all of this. then again, should we expect anything less from someone who rides a bus to vegas because he only feels comfortable traveling in things that have the same number of axels as his house.
Yes, the man whipping his dick out in the parking lot talking about class and a shirt with an edited cuss word on it being too much for the kids.
Seriously, all of you...stop.
Munson...you're drowning on this one.
You'd wear the shirt to a formal reception in Philly wouldn't ya?
No, I wouldn't.
But I sure as hell wouldn't be expecting to be told to turn it inside out wearing it to a home Phillies game.
Trying too hard. You're all doing it.
god you are retarded, you and your friend probably ranted on about "free speech" for hours last night
No, we didn't.
But please, tell me about all the class you'd have going around CBP telling everyone to take their tshirts with naughty words on them off.
Get over yourselves.
I seriously hate all of you.
Complete lack of class there, Rusty.
no one would tell anyone with a shirt like that to take it off but theyd mutter to themselves how trashy the person is for wearing it.
its not offensive, its just trashy.

Some guy on the Phils board said that his friend was told to take off a YANKEES SUCK shirt in Tampa. It happens all over the place, Munson.
Save that shtein for tailgating.
You're trying too hard to defend it
And being told to take that off is stupid. A yankees suck tshirt isn't going to hurt anybody, neither is a shirt that spells farging with a Ph in Philly.
You are acting like the ballpark is a grand dining hall. It's a ballpark.
Get. Over. Yourselves.

lol Munson came here looking for support and got universally derided. If the average poster on :CF -- not exactly the most family friendly site -- thinks the shirt is trashy, just imagine what the average family at the game thinks. I guess that's the kind of ignorance you and your friend like to broadcast though.

Hey genius...me being high my on myself would be being appalled at the shirt's existence. I'm not. But there's a time and place to wear it.
Someone can't call wearing a WFC shirt trashy and at the same time piss in public when/where a kid could walk by at any second.

There's not a chance in hell anyone on this MB actually really thinks it's trashy. Seriously not a decimal of a chance any one of these guys wouldn't put the shirt on or wave it around if given it at the stadium. But trashy has become one of the cool things to say here, kind of like MA and unseemly.
I love the shirt and I don't really care one way or another whether or not you are allowed to wear it at private establishments.
cursing on the shirt = trashy
it doesnt matter if its cute or a sports shirt or what. its trashy.
You'd still wear it. And had you not known about the rule, you'd be surprised if you were told to take it off at a Phillies game.
You have no point. Just stop.
i would never, ever wear that to a game nor pay a cent for it
wearing shirts with farg on them was a good idea when i was 12. then i turned 13.
telling someone to take it off is silly but thats not the point
i'd actually probably put it on my baby.
baby with a world farging champion shirt=adorable

That...is exactly the point. He was told to take it off. I can see that being the case in a visiting stadium....but home field, the year after it happened....Just don't really expect that in Philly.
It was also a free shirt.
no the point is the shirt is trashy. trashy isnt bad. its just trashy.
So what is the shirt?

hey, i'll be the first to admit that pissing in the parking lot isn't the best place to do it. but i was drunk, had to go and the people tailgating across from us left a bucket full of piss out there. drunk logic told me that was the best opion. no excuses though, drunk or sober it was poor judgement on my part.
your friend on the other hand, was probably sober when he woke up that morning and said "i'm going to wear my wfc shirt out in public today" and then bitched because he was told not to wear it on private property.
i'll own my poor judgement call but i don't think you or your friend will ever see the right side of reason on this one.
A WFC shirt at the Phillies game isn't going to hurt anybody.
And you're not fooling anyone by pretending you think it's a horrible thing to wear to the ballpark.
no, it's not horrible. it's just trashy and dumb.....like you.
No.

All bullshtein aside, its time to defend the WFC. Get the runners in, get 'em over when they need to be moved and don't farg around.

I know that. West coast/Yankees/Red Sox rule TV.
basically
the idea is mlb wants to air each game exclusively without dragging out the first round series for 3 weeks like the nba does. this is good. the balance is 1 game a day gets shafted.
the balance should be airing 3-4 games with staggered starts across the 6-10pm hour. start the phillies/rockies at 6, yanks/sox at 8, dodgers/cards at 10. regionalize coverage, add a directv package where you get every games in its entirety for people who want that.
really were talking about 2 days here. friday, monday and tuesday there are only 2 games per day. saturday and sunday are weekends and therefore afternoon games fly. 2 days, 2 games. big farging deal if some baseball fan in omaha cant see em all.
so the result is each game is more or less seen by everyone and most importantly they are on when people who are employed can watch them. which was a problem i had but ladee da good timing go me.
Hamels shed your vagina, Lee get back on track and Fatty pitch like you pitched one year ago and we'll be fine.

QuoteBrad Lidge said this isn't a secret weapon.
It's another option. It's something to get hitters thinking a little bit.
He introduced a cut fastball in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Marlins at Citizens Bank Park, a pitch he said he will throw to left-handed hitters. He threw a couple to pinch-hitter Ross Gload, who struck out swinging on a 2-2 slider.
"It's not a pitch I'm expecting to be like my regular fastball and slider," Lidge told MLB.com. "But it is a pitch I am expecting to give them something else to think about. If I can throw it for a strike, OK, now they have to respect it. If they found a good pattern on me with fastballs and sliders, which maybe they have, maybe they haven't ... if they have, that takes them completely out of their rhythm. It's something I've seen a lot of guys throw very effectively to lefties."
Why a cut fastball, and why now with the playoffs beginning Wednesday? Lidge has had trouble this season with his fastball command, particularly throwing inside to left-handed hitters. Lidge said the cut fastball can do two things. First, he said it serves the purpose of having something hard he can throw inside. Second, he said it gives hitters a third pitch to consider.
Lidge tried throwing a cut fastball with Houston a couple of years ago, but ditched it because it wasn't working.
"I've actually thrown it in the bullpen for a year or two," Lidge said. "I've just never brought it into the game. But I have thrown it in the bullpen a lot, and all the catchers have told me it is a good pitch and I should throw it in a game. It looks like it's working good. I just thought, yeah, if I ever need to, I will. In Houston, I had no idea what I was doing with it. I was just throwing it as hard as I could. It was going everywhere. Since then I've been able to work on the craft of throwing it and figure out why you throw it. Back then I didn't even know why. I just thought it would look cool."
Asked if he felt comfortable throwing a new pitch in the postseason, he said he is.
"I'm not trying to experiment a lot right now," Lidge said. "I feel good with the command of my fastball and slider, but it's something to get lefties to think about."
"It was a good pitch for him," Carlos Ruiz said. "I liked it. Sometimes we've tried to go to lefties with fastballs inside and he doesn't have the control to lefties. So I like the cutter because it will protect the slider."
Ruiz said it was a good pitch for Lidge. But is it a good idea to start throwing a third pitch now? We could find out as early as Wednesday.

Munson, when every single person is saying its wrong to wear it to a phils game, maybe just maybe you can concede it wasnt a good idea since its a family event, unlike a birds game which is a gladiator event.

Why the hell not...
If he is confident in throwing it then I concur. It's not like he has been locating his fastball. If he can't locate his cutter it will just be more of the same.
Although I have a hard time imagining Lidge coming in the 9th for the post-season (at least for the entire 3 outs in the 9th). I'm sure Charlie will say that he'll go match-up by match-up and maybe bring in Lidge to face a particular batter, but I have to think Charlie's default position is to go with Madson right now.

I think Charlie is going to use him. That was the whole idea behind giving him the gift out in the division clinching game against the Astros. Trying to give him any mental edge that he is behind him. Probably telling him that its a new season and all that stuff.
Because honestly, that is the way Lidge has to look at it. Forget the regular season and go out there confident. Can he do that? We don't know.
So if a new pitch helps him, cool. Hell, the cut fastball has helped a lot of guys in the league so maybe it works for Lidge too.
time to wipe the slate clean and throw lidge out there in the 9th. but keep him on a short leash too. give him a shot to close out a game but if he blows it, he's done.
I've seen clips of Lidge saying "it's like a new season, etc." which is great for him mentally if he buys into it, but I don't think you can switch it on and all of a sudden be lights out like last year. And even thinking back to last year, Lidge would give up a lot of base runners, difference now is that he gives up the base hit instead of getting the K or inducing a weak ground ball/pop fly when hitters stretch to make contact with the slider.
But hey, playoffs are a strange thing. The Rays got hot during the playoff run and knocked off some good teams with their bats. Some players are good at trying to demarcate between the regular and post season, but I don't know if Lidge has to ability mentally to leave things in the past. He seems to carry a lot of baggage and even when he says certain things don't bother him, his facial expressions and mannerisms suggest differently to me.

they needed another lefty reliever and Escalona doesn't throw 95
Colorado just announced that De La Rosa will miss the series. Hammel goes in game 3 and Marquis goes in game 4....
There will be no game 4.
Good news about missing De La Mexican.
I like them adding Basstardo.
actually the phils pretty much own de la rosa...but the fact that hes a lefty makes me glad hes out of the series
My only problem with basticho is that I think he's going to try to throw straight gas by any hitter he may face and seasoned vets in a big game will catch up to that if he doesn't vary his pitches. I understand the need for a left hander, just afraid he's too green to contribute.
Good news about Cairo, too. He was the hottest bench player in the last couple of weeks and he can make much better and consistent contact than Bruntlett can to get runners over and/or maybe drop one in for a base hit. Bruntlett had his chances -- oh well.
wow i hate people...

12-Year-Old Girl Robs Phillies Slugger of a Home Run
Phillies slugger is robbed of a home run by a 12-year-old girl
By TODD WRIGHT
Updated 9:27 PM EDT, Tue, Oct 6, 2009
Ryan Howard is used to getting robbed of a home run, just not by a 12-year-old girl.
Jennifer Valdivia filed a lawsuit Monday against the Philadelphia Phillies slugger for the rights to his 200th home run, which made Major League history as the player to reach the milestone the fastest.
In baseball terms, she threw a 100 mph heater high and inside at Howard's head.
Instead of having a legal battle as the MLB postseason is about to start, Howard gave up the ball. "My ball," Jennifer told the Miami Herald. "I have it, finally."
Yay, Jennifer Valdivia, right? Wrong!
We'd like to say this was a happy ending, but it isn't. Howard got robbed like when an outfielder climbs the fence and pulls back one of his homers.
It was never your ball, Jen.
Howard hit the home run at land Shark Stadium against the Florida Marlins on July 16, and as is customary, wanted the ball back.
So Phillies staff invited Valdivia to the club house for a one-on-one meeting with the star, which would have been enough for any other fan. But the Howard also autographed a baseball in exchange for the historic one.
The kid accepted the deal, but after she told her parents, the family told the Phillies and Howard they wanted the ball back. We think you see where this is going.
The family then hired an attorney, who then filed a lawsuit to get the ball back, claiming it was Valdivia's ball and that Howard took advantage of the little girl. Instead of playing baseball tug-of-war with a kid, Howard just gave the ball back.
He probably would have won that battle in court, but would have taken a beating in the media and the public for fighting a little girl and her family over a baseball. And you can bet the family attorney knew that.
Now usually, any victory over the Phillies would be cause for rejoice in South Florida, but this appears to be a bit out of line. What lesson are Valdivia's parents teaching their child by filing legal papers to get a ball back? it looks and smells a lot like greed.
It would have been a far better life lesson to congratulate the girl for being a good sport about it and understanding that the ball probably had far more emotional significance to Howard than to her family, which probably hopes to make a pretty penny off the historic ball at some point.

So I have to take my girl to the airport tomorrow and come to the office while they are playing. So I will have to DVR tomorrow's game.

12-Year-Old Girl Robs Phillies Slugger of a Home Run
Phillies slugger is robbed of a home run by a 12-year-old girl
By TODD WRIGHT
Updated 9:27 PM EDT, Tue, Oct 6, 2009
Ryan Howard is used to getting robbed of a home run, just not by a 12-year-old girl.
Jennifer Valdivia filed a lawsuit Monday against the Philadelphia Phillies slugger for the rights to his 200th home run, which made Major League history as the player to reach the milestone the fastest.
In baseball terms, she threw a 100 mph heater high and inside at Howard's head.
Instead of having a legal battle as the MLB postseason is about to start, Howard gave up the ball. "My ball," Jennifer told the Miami Herald. "I have it, finally."
Yay, Jennifer Valdivia, right? Wrong!
We'd like to say this was a happy ending, but it isn't. Howard got robbed like when an outfielder climbs the fence and pulls back one of his homers.
It was never your ball, Jen.
Howard hit the home run at land Shark Stadium against the Florida Marlins on July 16, and as is customary, wanted the ball back.
So Phillies staff invited Valdivia to the club house for a one-on-one meeting with the star, which would have been enough for any other fan. But the Howard also autographed a baseball in exchange for the historic one.
The kid accepted the deal, but after she told her parents, the family told the Phillies and Howard they wanted the ball back. We think you see where this is going.
The family then hired an attorney, who then filed a lawsuit to get the ball back, claiming it was Valdivia's ball and that Howard took advantage of the little girl. Instead of playing baseball tug-of-war with a kid, Howard just gave the ball back.
He probably would have won that battle in court, but would have taken a beating in the media and the public for fighting a little girl and her family over a baseball. And you can bet the family attorney knew that.
Now usually, any victory over the Phillies would be cause for rejoice in South Florida, but this appears to be a bit out of line. What lesson are Valdivia's parents teaching their child by filing legal papers to get a ball back? it looks and smells a lot like greed.
It would have been a far better life lesson to congratulate the girl for being a good sport about it and understanding that the ball probably had far more emotional significance to Howard than to her family, which probably hopes to make a pretty penny off the historic ball at some point.
Instead, Valdivia and Howard are learning the lesson that seems to permeate everything in society today - to make money off of whatever you can, even if it means stepping on another person to do it.
chances they give her the actual ball
0.000000000001%
ha, for real. also, the 12-year old's parents weren't at the game with her?
would anyone (outside of philly) really think any less of howard if he chose to take it to court? it's not like he told the girl to give the ball back or he'd use her head for batting practice. it's customary for players to trade a signed bat, ball or jersey in exchange for a significant hr ball so there's no way he took advantage of a little girl. maybe the casual observer think howard's being unreasonable if he took it it court, but i think any true fan of the game would want to see the ball either in howard's personal collection or in the hof.

Ha! I tried to weasel my way out of this. It worked last year and I was at the house able to watch. But in 2007 when they played the Rockies I was stuck in the office. The two days I need to be a slacker and I can't. Oh well, I have a radio here on my desk and I will listen.
As for the 35mph winds....yeah, thats all good. If its oly blowing out for the Phillies. let's hope Clifford can come strapped and ready to roll.

The bio for the fargface lawyer:

The founder and publisher of The Express, in 1999, Florida's largest gay and lesbian weekly newspaper, he was previously the morning drive talk show host for WFTL-1400 AM from 1989-1997. A frequent guest lecturer at colleges, Norm has published numerous articles advocating civil rights protections for the GLBT community.
After surviving a bout with lymphoma, he had another stint at the new WFTL-850 AM from 2002-2005 as a daily talk show host, though in the interim periods he hosted 'Weekend Legal' on various local radio stations. He currently publishes NationalGayNews.com [1], the Broward Law Blog [2], contributes columns to the Counterpunch political newsletter [3], and The South Florida Blade.
Motherfarg.
Way to play defense, boys!!
every fly ball is going to give us a near stroke. wind is brutal.
Whew! Got out of it.
good start for lee. nothing he can do about that inf single or howard's bad throw, but his pitches had good movement and his location looks to be on.
Pretty good shtein from Jimenez as well.
Bums 9-2 against the Rockies since the 2007 debacle? Did not know that.
Alright Clifford...bear down and strike these motherfargers out!
1 out with Torrealba on 2nd.
Sit down bitch!
Wow, bad call lol
Was he safe?
Yes!
Was he safe? I can't see it.
Safe by a mile LOL
Missed the replay. OK, here we go, and...........................................replay please.

I thought he was definitely out until the replay, he missed his front leg. By the time he got the tag his foot was on the bag.
lol @ howard trying to steal 2nd. big guy's lost some weight, but not that much.
although, if he doesn't hesitate or times his jump better, he probably makes it.

For the people at work postseason.tv has a live feed for 10 bones for the rest of the post season. You don't get the TBS feed but there are about 8 different camera angles to choose from.
Lee is looking good though. Shaky at first but he looks settled down. I wouldn't be surprised if he goes all 9.

Carlton's older bro
phils looked very very relaxed today. even last year when they were hot heading in, they seemed like they were pressing at the plate during the entire postseason. they were horrible hitting with risp/on base, weren't working the count and were swinging at bad pitches.
today it just looked like another regular season game for them. they swung the bats well and were aggressive on the bases (perhaps to a fault) and didn't swing at bad pitches. once they made a full rotation through the lineup and saw what jimenez had, they really started teeing off on him.
lee was money. I have nothing to contribute.

Same feeling. After the first pitch and all the pre-game hysteria at the Bank the game just kind of cruised along. I loved it. Lee was just awesome. Good offensive production.
Lee lost that shutout for one reason: Scott Franzke wouldn't SHUT THE farg UP ABOUT IT. L.A. needs to punch that cockass in the earhole repeatedly.
I like Frantzke :paranoid
Marry him then. Just tell him to shut the hell up and stop jinxing shtein.
:-D
Crowd was awesome today... A stadium of waving white flags brought back nostaligia from WS game 5.
Awesome.
three guesses as to whioch ohillie said this....
"In being the defending world champs, I think it's kind of a little weird that we kind of get both games at 2 o'clock," "I don't think it's fair. I definitely don't think it's fair for the fans because this is all about home-field advantage or just baseball in general.
I understand TV ratings, but I think, at the end of the day, most players would rather play when they're both comfortable, and that's kind of what we're trained at, either 1 o'clock or 7 o'clock, and I think that's more fair for us than the TV ratings because, truly, I don't think we mind as much for TV ratings.
We want to get ourselves to the World Series and win it, and that's all that matters. It's not how much money we can make in the process of playing this game because being a world champ, that's what we really live for."

Igy that Cliff Lee is a real fraud, huh?
hes just a bitch. stop trying to create argument. there is no way you can deny he is a pansy ass woman.
i really dont think your in a position to question the masculinity of another man
im pretty sure hes a public figure and im not and therefore my patheticness is not up for debate
I agree. There's no debate.
if your first three guesses werent cole hamels kill yourself
Ryan Howard is super in the field.
Dammit! that was the break they needed.
Yer out bitch!
Jimmy, patience, patience.
Jesus christ :boom
groundball pitchers always make this team look like ass. cook is pitching really well and has the phillies guessing at every pitch.
luckily, hamels is pitching very well too.

Bout farging time! TIme to beat Cook to the ground. Leave him in!
Choke.
that outside bullshtein is not a strike.
RAUUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLL
This home plate ump sucks ass. all over the place.
i guess their going for the postseason record of DP's in a game.
on the bright side they get to use blanton for a second inning.
4-3 now.
why blanton is in i'm not quite sure.... i guess happ's pitching game 3.
farging ruiz. i hate hate hate hate hate first pitch swinging. unless it plates 2.
4-3 makes me much happier about this game.

not me. not with this bullpen. i don't even trust them with a 5 run lead, let alone a 1 run deficit in the 7th.
and i don't know who's telling the pitchers to go for the runner instead of taking the easy out at first on these sac bunts, but it's pissing me the farg off.
Terrible at bat by Ruiz. They had the Rockies up agaisnt the wall there.
1st and 3rd no outs swell.
shtein Ibanez is slow.
Happ? WTF is going on?
WTG fat boy.
Now wtf? Happ comes in?
What is going on? Who plays game 3?
so much for a shut down inning.
who the farg is telling these pitchers where to throw the ball.
ok lets bring in happ now why didn't i think of that.
looks like pedro gets the game 3 start.
If Pedro walks out of the bullpen next I just might have heart failure.
he wont be coming out of the bullpen unless their desperate.. he's downright offensive in his first inning.
he also shouldn't be starting game 3.
and yes this umpire is straight garbage.
Charlie's playing game 2 of the NLDS as if it's game 7 of the WS.
Finally a good point by these knuckle heads on TBS. Weather is forecasted to be terrible this weekend in Denver. We may not play again until Monday.
and now happ gets drilled and cant make a play. what a disaster.
:paranoid x 1000
and happ's coming out with a leg injury.
thank god we still have lidge.
Wow, I've defended CHarlie before...but I can't after this. Just wow.
Atta boy Eyre.
big K for "i can't bend my arm" eyre.
at least happ can still pitch game 3 as long as his knee cap is still in one piece. its a shame it took an injury for charlie to make the right move.
farg! That's a huge insurance run. Dammit.

funny, i thought he was the one having the baby.
rollins should've left the stadium with cole, he's brutal at the plate today.
How is that an insurance run? The Phillies have the bats to come back from 2 runs down.
Unless Myers keeps throwing like that.
lookin' sharp wifebeater.
rofl.. myers comes in and gives up a 10,000 foot foul hr. then pegs him.
Where did that ball land?

The fact that Happ needed xrays in a game that he didn't start in makes me want to punch something.
he really is.. and on top of it he's not even consistently crappy.
Why is the announcer questioning Cairo going to home plate on that play? There was no way to get 2 if he went to 1st

nice basticho you silly bastich.
at the rate cholly is going through pitchers today, any one of us might be getting a phone call.
nice job basticho.
lol @ the filter
By the time he got that throw to first, from where he was, there was no way the guy at 2nd wasn't safe.
bums. i hope hamels pushes his wife off the delivery table, throws his feet up in the stirups and asks the obgyn if he sees anything out of whack.
Phreak out
5-4. As noted earlier, huge insurance run by the Rockies.
Son of a bitch. I really thought they were going to pull this out. Now we get to listen to those phoney Rockies fans all weekend.
Season's over. Time to move on.
charlies pitching moves were utterly baffling but other than that i cant hate on anyone (and everyone knows i love to hate)....it was jujst a great farging game...what playoff baseball is supposed to be like...other than the phils not winning (obviously) it was 1000 times the game that yesterdays was...yesterday was weak...today was amazing...outside of victorino not dropping that ball in
best loss ever!
it was great minus coles vagina rearing its ugly head once again. sucks to lose of course, but all they need is 1/2 in denver to get back here for game with cliff lee.
but that could be a problem, considering senor pedro is set for game 3 and who the farg knows who is set for game 4.
also cole is a Hoyda
cole was fine cept literally one single pitch...and i dont even know who to blame on that one...the guy throws 2-3 hooks a game and on a 1-2 pitch he tosses one up there...whos call was that...chooch the dugout cole??...either way it was a horrendously bad pitch and an even worse call
how is 4 runs in 5 innings "fine"
its mediocre. and this is someone who is supposed to carry the rotation. the first run was a little bit of bad luck but he put runners on all day and got burned.
I was there and I'm farging done with Rollins and Blanton is a farging moron. There is no doubt in my mind we win this game if farging lard ass takes the easy out at first instead of giving away an out.
The incredibly stupidity Rollins displays on a day to day is remarkable. The pitcher walks and then Jimmy grounds into a double play on the 2nd(possibly 3rd) pitch of the next at bat. Are you farging serious? Not being a good hitter is one thing being stupid is inexcusable.
The guy is just horrible at all things offensively.

hes a medicore pitcher...hes been brutally average this season...what more did you expect...he walked none had 5 k's...and gave up a 2 run homer on an absolutely brutal pitch call...if the pitch choice was his then i change my opinion...but i honestly dont think it was...he better than anyone knows how awful his curve is
What saturday's lineup should be
Victorino
Utley
Werth
Howard
Ibanez
Feliz
Ruiz
Rollins
Pitcher
Let the farging moron be an automatic out in front of the pitcher so it doesnt matter.
Your Rollins hate is annoying.

Your Rollins hate is annoying.
especially when his hero utley had his worst year ever and is in an epic slump...
hes just lookinjg for attention
Cole was not good today. That clown Sutcliffe kept saying how hurt he was on the radio. He used his curve as evidence, saying when he's healthy he snaps off 9-10 a game but we hadn't seen it today...until a guy who shouldn't be hitting HRs broke one off into the seats.
They needed this game (obviously) but more so because they're heading to COL where it is going to be 20 farging degrees and snowing on Saturday.
Way to step up this year, Ace.

sutcliff is a complete drunk moron
cole will go games where he throws NO curves....even on his best night he might throw four or five
usually its a couple
in fact since he was still in the minors the biggest cocnern about him was his lack of a third pitch....ie a curve
I know, and at first I was worried he was really injured. But once I saw the game I realized that Sutcliffe was talking out his ass.
I wish they would have won today. I didn't like Ruiz's at bat when he grounded into the double play on a first pitch swing.
I didn't quite like Chuck's pitching moves either, I thought Happ was a sure fire game three starter because of how much the Rockies struggle against LHP.
But then again, with the bullpen in shambles...I guess he's going to use duct tape and JB Weld to make it through.
wrong thread
Utley had his worst year ever? No. Not close and I'm not counting 04 either. This was just about as good as last season and considering he was coming off hip surgery and had a farged up foot since one of the first series in August I'm a o farging kay with that. Also considering he was still by far the best second baseman in baseman and by far the most valuable player on this team even with that slump that should tell you something.
Rollins is just not good at baseball anymore. Hopefully it's just the same type of thing that I think/hope Cole is going through this year and he'll bounce back next year. I can take his moronics every now and then when he is a good player, but when he is not its just unbearable.
He was the third best shortstop in the division this year only because Christian Guzman is one of the other shortstops and Reyes was out all year.
Just awful.
lol...ok son

Are you farging retarded? Seriously.
well this year, anymore.
.296 OBP is below replacement level. Basically if Donald had been healthy and we called him up to replace Rollins chances are he would have been a better leadoff option than Rollins.
Rollins is basically Orlando Hudson at shortstop this year who coincidentally igy probably likes more than utley.
cause hes black.
honestly no one cares about your obsession.....but if it makes you feel better continue on...
if i educate one person its worth it
current total is none and im pretty sure everyone on this board has heard it...time to move on to vorp.net

You're amazing. And not in a good way. In a "holy shtein...what did he just say?!" way.
Rollins had a down year at the plate.
His defense was as good as ever and he still produced runs despite the poor OBP.
You could put someone with polio in front of Vic, Utley, Howard, and Werth and they'd still score damn close to a 100 times.
Imagine how many more runs the leadoff position would have produced if we had someone that got on base at a clip as "high" as the average shortstop.

I know that and I know how OBP works. But he was still productive with HR, 2B and RBI despite hitting .250.
dont do it phreak
I'm not saying he was completely unproductive. He just wasn't as productive as about 8-10 other shortstops in the NL.

he got kicked out of the game for being an idiot and somehow ended up filling out a job application in the phillies offices. if you don't see the awesome in that you have problems.
Manuel announces Pedro as the starter in the 20 degree weather.
They might as well play this game on Vail Mountain or in Aspen. Colorado weather is as predictable as Charlie was yesterday.
Stiff neck Pedro in arctic conditions...
Better hope he's got the Eddie Harris snot ball, Vardol-ball and Vagisil-ball working. Gonna have to lob junk up there and hope they don't kill it.

can you seriously get any trashier?
Can you overuse words out of IGYs mouth more? I know I never get tired of it.
Part of me wants the game to be called tomorrow because it is going to be so damn cold. But if they postpone then game 4 gets pushed to Monday and 5 stays on Tuesday. But I won't be able to see either because of having to fly home from Buffalo on Tuesday night.
I hope they play tomorrow and they can wrap it up in 4.
What time would the game be if moved to Monday? Knowing MLB it'll stay at 7 PM MST and if there's a game 5 it'll be at 2:30 PM EST the next day. Selig you putz.
game would be at about the same time on monday, cant start it until 3 or 4 est anyway
if they need to go to tuesday, it depends on the alds games. but, im guessing theyre going to do everything they can to get the games in this weekend
Moyer pitched so badly it gave him the AIDS (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/playoffs/2009/news/story?id=4548138). Okay, maybe not the AIDS, but he's in the hospital with a blood infection.
tonight's game was postponed
lol @ baseball
2 games up against florida/lsu, 0 against whatever zesty games are on now
also their idiocy forces a possible no day off flight from colorado to philly. farging selig.
farging bum ass baseball.
I hate that mother farging Selig. He doesn't know how lucky he is. If the Phils had lost that game 5 last year due to his asinine decision to play in that monsoon he would have never left the park alive.
Bigger dbag-Bud Selig or Joe Banner?
so people are mad at baseball because they are postponing the game and losing a possible day off between game 4 and 5? would you rather them play in 20 degree weather? they are going to try and keep the original series schedule as much as possible, the day off is today instead of monday...deal with it.
I think people are mad because this shouldn't have been the situation in the first place.
Has there ever been a 10:07 PM start to a playoff game? That's the thing I don't get. I know Colorado is two hours behind us, but for God's sake, that's idiotic.
just heard from someone that happ is starting now
also there is no reason to move this to 300 or 400 now since LA is rolling over the MA's
yea Zolecki confirmed that a while ago.
also if both the Yankees and Sox sweep the monday game will be at 7 et, if one sweeps then it will be at 5 et, if they both lose we get stuck with a 2 et start again.

The game wasn't even canceled due to snow...it was canceled due to cold temperatures.
Yes, let's schedule the game taking place in the coldest city in the playoffs at 9 (and 10) at night. Brilliant!
I guarantee that TV (and hence, the MLB) doesn't care if the Phillies game has to be postponed for two weeks in order to keep the likes of the Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers, and Cardinals in prime time.
Really just the yanks. Its all about putting them in primetime then filling in the other stuff around them
Exactly. There's no reason why the Red Sox, playing the west coast Angels, should be playing right now. I mean I'm happy the Phils aren't on at the same time as the Eagles....but how does making the east coast phillies play at 10 PM in the coldest city, and making the west coast Angles playing at 9 AM PST make ANY sense whatsoever?
The game tomorrow is now at the earliest at 5 ET so lets rejoice.

If I'm not mistaken was not game 3 at Coors Field back in 2007 a 10 PM Saturday night start?
close to it
i remember some of the a's/sox games were 1000 and 1030 starts, too.
watch the phillies get 2 primetime spots in the next two days and watch those numbers crash and burn. the thing is there should be two slots: 500/600 and 830/930. networks make the most $ in primetime and they would add 3-4 extra million viewers by putting two games on at the same time and regionalizing coverage. hell put one game on tbs and one on tnt and combine the viewers.

Well farg...he jammed Helton and its a slow roller to Chase, not able to flip a duce.

i guess right down the middle is the only strike this cvnt will call
Ump is definitely squeezing him. Phillies batters better be patient. That being said, Happ was all over the place to most of the batters.
If Hammel is going to get that first pitch he threw to Werth for a strike after what Happ went through in the 1st it's going to be a loooong night.

only 2 of 11 first pitch strikes.
52 pitches through 2 innings
Jason Hammel has 5 K's already. Jimmy just swung at some junk he flipped up there.
Why do I have a bad feeling that this clown, with umpire assistance, is going to ring up at least 10 Phils?

How can anyone walk Pedro after seeing that horrible grounder he had a couple innings ago. You'd think they would feel safe slow-pitching to him.
Is that Jimmy Pop on deck? Seriously who the hell is that.

I think the bat boy is Jimmy Pop

Blanton just looked awful trying to bunt on all those pitches. Should just sent Fat Joe out there swinging, what the hell. Not like Jimmy's gonna do anything.

the announcers have made several comments about how meals is calling a good game. i think it's been anything but good. his strike zone is all over the place. but he's been bad for both teams, so he's got that going for him.
Durbin is in. Super.
Durbin!! YEAH! Now we'll show um.

Yep...but Joe Simpson is a hater. Good game to him is the Phils getting farged.
Durbin = game over.
Please prove me wrong, Durbin
It's pretty funny when Simpson lauds how wonderful the ump has been when he's in line with pitch trax and then when pitches right in the middle of pitch trax are called balls he doesn't say a word about it.
I never thought I'd miss Joe Buck. These two clowns need to be escorted up to Pikes Peak and left there to walk down tonight.
the ump has been horrible for both sides, but he was especially awful to Happ in the beginning. Hamel got a shtein load more pitches called then Happ did
Hate on jd durbin instead losers
Did he say no one recognizes Feliz for his defense? Please...everyone knows Feliz flashes a great amount of leather.
Good job, Durbin.
Yo offense...wake up. I'm looking at YOU, Jimmy

WOOOHOO! GOOD JOB CHASE!

Nice job Ryan. He's been taking some good swings this series.
Awesome job, Howard.
Even better job by Jimmy hustling his ass across the plate because he knew Chase was tagging up.

Seeing Lidge up has lead me to go into the garage, start the engine to the car, close all doors and sit there until this is over.
If Lidge is coming in the game with a one run lead I'm going to throw up all over myself.
I am way to old for this shtein.
Everyone...snort your lines, shoot your heroin, slam your 151/Tequila and take a deep breath.

And he gets to face Carlos Gonzalez this inning. Any doubt a triple is coming to complete the cycle?

I agree. It's just going to suck watching Hamels and Pedro go down in games 1 and 2.
i have a lot more confidence in pedro right now than i do colegina.
So, that horrible ump saved the day, eh? Missed Utley's "single" bouncing off his leg. :-D
ummm, status of Eyre?
By the way, Carlos Ruiz is clutch. Chooch seems to play particularly well in the playoffs and comes up with big hits in the 8 hole. I just wish he would translate that into the regular season but he's had some big hits this post season as well as last.
who cares about the regular season.
he can shtein the bed all season long if he wants to wait for the playoffs to make it happen
i gather it's been stated already but let me repeat it for good measure.
FARG MLB for this schedule. seriously, bud selig can suck my wet farts. up till 2:15a/m & up at 5:30. >:(
stark's column
QuoteSo as he stood on the mound, waiting for the signal that the TV commercial break was over and it was time to pitch, Jimmy Rollins looked him right in the eyeballs and said, "You're going to get them out."
"Yeah," Lidge replied.
"What's that mean?" Rollins retorted.
And for a moment, Lidge seemed startled by the challenge. Then he looked Rollins back in his own eyeballs and told him: "You're right. We're going to get this done right here, right now."

Sounds like there's a shtein load of phils fans at Coors Field.

AURIGHT!
great to have the home run but even better is rollins and victorino boith having seven pitch at bats
work that punk out of the game early...especially with both pens being used a lot last night
and utley has gone full
Jimenez has plunked the ump twice so far.
Farg yeah Shane!
wow these umps are just brutal
to close to call. once again, shut up TBS.
He was out, but I can see how they could have messed that up.
Quote from: ice grillin you on October 12, 2009, 06:20:52 PM

That should have been an out. Where's the dude that was behind the plate last night? He was as bipolar as they come.
Damn, Gonzalez is this years Manny in the playoffs.
uh oh, bad Lee showed up
Lee is a fraud
Lee up to his old antics. Buckle down here!!!
youd think that after the utley botch garnered so much attention they would lean the rockies way on any first base calls
and on top of that the howard play wasnt even close
here comes dr jekyll lee again
What's with the hot potato shtein there Lee?
Beautiful play by J Roll.
That was a pretty sick play by Jimmy.
smart play by jimmy keeping the glove down on the bag. what a terrible player he is.

no one outside of CO will watch, at least philly can draw good #'s
Better throw by Carlos has him there.
These Rockies cheers are as gay as they come.
it never ceases to amaze me how Garrett Atkins looks like Sloth
out of the jam. :yay
Just kiddin lee rules
chooch!
at least it gets lee out of the way and brings the top of the order up to lead off next inning. doesn't seem like a big deal, but little things like that tend to make a big difference in tight games.
easy inning for lee. hopefully he can stay locked in.
how does jimmy go from a picture perfect lead off the game at bat to hacking away first pitch in the very next at bat

because he has a ten cent head
lol @ calls going against Colorado today. The call at 2nd and 3rd were both right. Just because they were close doesn't mean they were wrong. The missed DP call was irrelevant anyway.
ugly strikeout by Werth
Nice at bat Werth.
Werth swung at 3 pitches that were balls. Jimenez didn't throw him a strike that at bat.
im feeling choke here
farger!
What the farg Ibanez? What a waste. farg!!!
ibanez had a great at bat i cant hate on him
werth is meathead tho
Can we please just can this stupid "Let's Talk" gimmick. Make it fun and ask Jim Tracy a question as he's running out to argue a call or Werth after he looks like a fool at the plate.
Beautiful!!!
That was close to being a disaster as well as quite comical.
Holy Jesus.
we're not werthy!
That might have been the sweetest swing I've seen Werth ever make. No lerch and lunge.
Meathead crushed one.
Yay.
best platoon player in history
wow. was the ump looking at any of those pitches?
shtein! we can't have this. c'mon Lee.
Ibanez just might be slower than Burell. Nice relay by Vic.
farg farg farg!
Nice!!! Double play. HUGE!
vote for pedro!
Come on Jimmy
:yay
Excellent at bat.
damn we needed that run
:boom :boom :boom
damn. shane's having some really good at bats today. he got hosed on that strike 2 call too. that pitch was closer to california than it was the plate.
WTF? Is Coors Field trying to make this song their version of "Sweet Caroline"? :puke
sit down icehole.
i think they probably do that while they're doing the "kiss cam." but it's still lame.

Get the farg out of the way Ibanez!
How did the fans think that was a home run :-D

My buddy used to go to Rockies games when they first started playing at Coors and he was just flabbergasted at how dumb the fan base was. They start screaming on a little dribbler to short reacting as if it was Kirk Gibson going deep against Eckersley.

Atleast than annoying fan behind home plate is gone... or atleast not as annoying.
:-D the announcers were commenting on the location of the 3-1 strike. and then the replay showed it as a ball. smooth baby, smooth

what a dope

No way that was a farging strike.

they arent bad calls tho...they are low strikes that have been called since the first inning of game one

Good ol' Pedro. First pitch swing. Swell
Feliz has had some brutal at bats in this series.
Feliz=3 at bats 3 pitches 3 outs
new pitcher, swing at the first pitch. this is the most offensively stupid team i've ever seen.
idiots.
Unfarging believable.
Brutal. Just brutal.
these runners left on are gonna come back to haunt
Great at bats!
Phils have abandoned an embarrassing number of runners in this one. If they pull out the win who cares, but that's gonna stick in my craw all day tomorrow if they lose.
Lee pitching his brains out despite the continued stupidity of the offense.
Feliz and Ruiz are horrible. Our good players got on base. Hard to be too upset.
Actually there is no reason to let Feliz bat. He's horrible.

His first out was only due to Francisco making a ridiculous catch. Madson made more than one bad pitch.
Oh yippie! Gregg Dobbs and the meat of the order.
Greg is no good

And why would you take Francisco out? Moron.

Any rational for even taking Lee out of there?
to make the best double switch ever?
Ha, he looked like rollins!!
Nothing was hit hard except for the double. He's the best rp they have and one way or another didn't get it done.
This kind of thing has happened all year so what do you except
Rollins with the 4 pitch out ftw
IGY went to go change his pants from creaming in excitement.

in their defense, they haven't been watching the losingest team in pro sports their entire lives. epic late game collapse are something that phillies fans know about all too well. besides, the phillies fans they showed weren't too sure how to react either. it's not like we're really used to late inning, post season heroics yet either.

yeah, every time his bat touches the ball, he's getting on base. that was a good pitch he just his that more often than not, will result in a soft liner or a pop up. in either case, the ball usually wont leave the infield.

If they go on to lose this game the Howard and Werth hits might be the most horrific events in the history of their franchise, and they don't even know how to respond to it.

quite the contrary. he said, and i'm paraphrasing of course:

loser mentality loser talk
Today was one of the longest days of my life. Staying up until 230 last night kicked my ass. I was up at 530, on the freaking plane at 630 and we landed in SC about two hours later...in the middle of torrential rain and storms. I made a solid call not eating any breakfast because the turbulence was strong. Got back into Buffalo at dinner time, went out to dinner with the company people and made it back here in time to see Madson giving it up like an eager whore.
farging idiots, MLB, for starting that game so late last night.
Great win tonight...and allows me to see everything from here on out.
I think baseball takes the most years off my life of any sports.
BEAT LA BEAT LA BEAT LA
That chant gives me chills.
Where the dirty Mexican Dodger homo at?
love hearing Werth saying that he cant see himself anywhere else than philly, and his manlove for his teammates.
Lee said in the locker room that Howard told everyone before his AB: "GET ME TO THE PLATE, BOYS"
This is the first time in franchise history (127 years) the Phils have won a playoff series in back-to-back seasons.
Schedule as of now (all games on TBS):
Game 1 = Thursday 8:00
Game 2 = Friday 4:30
Game 3 = Sunday 8:00
Game 4 = Monday 8:00
Werth won't be a Phillie after this current deal is up. Not with Taylor & Brown burning up the Minor Leagues, he won't.

Four farging thirty on Friday?
For real?
What in the blue hell is wrong with MLB??
i thought they were starting games at 730
also did they not learn from tonight that starting games at 600 = uptick in ratings
its simple. the games best part happened from 800-930. now isnt that the time period with the highest viewership? these games take 4 hours to play. have to account for that.
@ rome
yanks/angles game is set for 730.
Is there a network whore at Fox who isn't sucking the devil's dick right now in hopes of securing a Yankees/Dodgers World Series?
dodgers and phillies are about even draw wise
dodgers/cards was simply a better draw than phils/rockies.
the whole world isnt conspiring against the phillies. the sky isnt falling. they are good. dont be angry. this is fun. this is awesome. enjoy it.

The right move would be to trade Vic.
Werth is 100x the player Vic is and could ever be.
Trade Vic either this year or next year insert Taylor accordingly then have Ibanez sit in the corner in 11.

Just like last year when they were begging for Boston/LA
no one in la gives a crap and no one outside of la gives a crap. old sports writers who still think theyre in brooklyn conger up old memories of the shot heard round the world and thats why you think the dodgers matter.

that's probably because other than manny, the dodgers don't have anyone on their roster that baseball fans want to watch. who is going to be channel surfing, come across a dodgers game and say "oh! i can't wait to see russell martin's next ab."
and since manny isn't any good without octomom drugs, the dodgers now have 0 players worth watching.
Franzke and LA on the radio during those last 2 innings (http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/11/12/373508/101209.mp3)
its not about players. except for bonds, who transcended the sport with the steroid stuff.
superstar basketball players and a handful of qbs are draws. thats really it. otherwise its teams. and baseball has 3 teams that can draw nationally. a handful of teams can draw big locally and can matter a little bit (phils being one of them), but on the whole a phillies/yanks ws would draw only slightly better than a yanks/rockies.
Disagree.
At least for this year.
If the Phillies are in it the repeat possibility will add a new dimension.
possibly. perhaps "only slightly" is over doing it. but it wouldnt be a massive improvement over a no draw team like the rockies or dbacks.
but the lcs last year was wayyy under what the sox and indians did in 07 and under the angles/yanks lds in 06.
well see how tonight did, the game last night did pretty considering the timing.
how awful would a dodgers/angels ws be? not so much the games themselves, but just for the tv scheduling/ratings. they would either alienate the east coast by starting the games too late or alienate much of the west coast by starting the games in the middle of the work/school day.
probably lower than last years all time low.
mlb is win-win with the nlcs but obviously need the yanks to win. its astronomical how much more popular they are than any team in baseball.

How the hell did I forget Thome and Padilla are on the Dodgers LOL
my dome piece will literally explode with rage if vincente padilla comes out and shuts down the phils in this series
about 6.5 mil for the game last night, on par with what yanks/twins game 2 got.
again, mlb...you start games at 600 and have the most exciting part come when people are awake, you get this.
yanks twins were on a sat night....cant compare that to a monday night
anyway i dont understand your point...are you saying the phils rocks should have been given better start times than the yanks twins because thats utterly ridiculous
if youre saying they should have games being played at the same time then i totally agree
it was a friday night and this game was up against mnf
im saying they should start all games at 600/700. that way the end is when people are watching tv, not asleep.
friday same thing...still no comparison till monday
but yes i agree games should start at the same time and/or overlap
5th time we are meeting the dodgers in the nlcs. have a feeling this will be a heated series.

Does MLB not have the start times finalized yet? I just checked mlb.com and all games are still TBD. I could see game 5 and beyond but are they not able to schedule games 1 -4?

great jayson stark article. lots of quote worthy tid-bits in there. my fav 2:
jimmy:
Quote"So I think," he said, "that's why we never use the word 'repeat,' because you get caught up in the fact that it should happen the same way. You think it just should happen, right? Noooooo. You have to make it happen. Every pitch, every at-bat, you have to find a way."
QuoteThe night before, Lidge had challenged him with fastballs. This time, the reborn closer knew he had to change it up. So he tossed up four straight sliders and ran the count to 2-and-2.
Catcher Carlos Ruiz trotted to the mound. They agreed this was the spot for one final slider. Ruiz raised his glove and whispered through the webbing: "Give me your good one."
Well, Brad Lidge got the message. He rocked. He fired. He broke off one of those invisible, man-eating, see-ya-later sliders right out of his 2008 scrapbook. Tulowitzki started to hack, tried to stop and couldn't. And the Phillies had become the fifth NL team in history to win four straight postseason series.
They're just lazy. Everything is set already...

Chances Sarge gets shanked?
It just occured to me no wonder so many gangbangers hated on Philly last year, red jerseys
given my charming personality, i'd set the odds at 3:1. 1:1 if i decide to wear my 08 champs hat.

ugh here we go, already expecting the worst
you people are unbelievable. incapable of happiness. you all deserve to be royals fans.
They'll lose, because i expect them to, and you'll like it
they wont lose
the world series, yes, probably. angels and yanks are better teams. but farg the dodgers. they aint gonna stop this party bus.
dodgers are really good this year...could win it all
if the phils can (and they should) beat wolf then the series could go a long way...they lose game one tho they arent coming back out west from philly
why did you have to cash that $10 jew check when we will so clearly bet on this series
$20
straight phils win i win phils lose you win deal?
looks like kuroda will be back healthy for this series which is not good as he owns the phils....probably means wolf is out
kershaw - hamels
billingsly - pedro
kuroda - lee
padilla - blanton
thats my guess
Lol make it 30

I wasn't stating the order of pitching, dumb asses. I was stating who the starting pitchers were on the staff compared to the Dodgers.
And are seriously betting against the Phillies? What the farg is wrong with you?
happ wont be starting so im not sure what youre getting at
oh and how about that 20 piece
How do you know he won't start?
And why are you betting against the Phillies winning in 5?
well i dont know for sure but i just cant imagine the phillies going with three lefties against a team that hits lefties well and def better than righties...it would be colassally stupid
i doesnt even have to be five
$20 straight up on the series
you really wanna lose a 50 spot? you sure you can afford that oh wait yes you can.
You're beyond help if you would ever bet against the Phillies.
Quote from: Rome on October 14, 2009, 08:40:53 PM
You're beyond help if you would ever bet against the Phillies.
this is igy we're talking about here so he's got to be able to have a happy ending regardless of the outcome. if the phils lose, he gets fruity drink money and gets to say "i told you so." and if the phils win, he says "well, i'd rather lose 20 and see the phils win."
regardless though, i think that since the phils made it back to the nlcs and are the first nl team in forever to even win a playoff series after winning it all, they have proven that last year was not a fluke and they definitely aren't frauds.
I'm kind of with igy.
I honestly don't see us getting by this series. Let alone in 5.
I'm not sure how I see it yet...
One on hand I can't possibly see the Phils getting baffled by Vicente and Wolf. I think Kuroda will give them trouble, even though he is coming off injury. If they can steal game one, that will be huge. Beat Kershaw and I think they will win the series.
On the other hand I can see how they could lose the series...If Cole stumbles again and they don't jump on 'em early, it could swing in LA's favor.
Them having George Sherrill is a big boost for the BP too; he's going to be seen a lot and I would hope Charlie is considering a small line-up change.
Maybe split up Utley and Howard? Could Vic hit 3rd? Would that be outrageous to even think about?
vic, utley, rollins, howard?

jimmy's not swinging a great stick so far but i think if you dropped him to 3rd and had howard hitting behind him, he'd see some more favorable pitches to swing at. utley would still be batting behind vic, so i don't think that changes the type of pitches that vic would see in an at bat.
you could make an argument for moving either vic or rollins to the 3 spot. 6 one way, a half dozen the other.
QuoteSources: Myers, Kendrick off the NLCS roster; Bruntlett, Park on; Pedro definite for Game 2
Pedro Martinez will start Game 2 of the National League Championship Series, according to team sources.
Martinez, who has not pitched since Sept. 30 and has not lasted more than three innings since Sept. 13, threw a simulated game Tuesday.
"He's did enough work that I'm confident sending him out," manager Charlie Manuel said before the decision was revealed. "I think he is capable of throwing anywhere from 75-90 pitches, maybe 95, maybe even 100. But I think that gets us into the sixth inning or the seventh, and I think that where we're at with out pitching and everything, that would work...he threw a simulated game yesterday, and what I saw, I liked his stuff."
Joe Blanton was another candidate to start Game 2 , but Manuel said that Blanton and J.A. Happ would spend the "first few games" in the bullpen. Lee pitched on Monday, and would not be on full rest until Sunday's Game 3.
"I definitely look at Joe Blanton as a starter," the manager said. "(But) he is the guy who can really set our bullpen up. In front of those (Ryan Madson and Brad Lidge), he gives me some leverage in the back... he is the guy who can mentally go get 'em, and the grit and the desire and whatever you want to say.
Blanton was not yet sure what his role in the series would be. "I have no idea," he said. "I'll do whatever they want me to do."
The Los Angeles Dodgers said yesterday that their playoff rotation would consist of Clayton Kershaw today, Vicente Padilla tomorrow, Huroki Kuroda on Sunday and Randy Wolf on Monday.
***
Also according to team sources, righthander Chan Ho Park and utilityman Eric Bruntlett were added to the NLCS roster, and righthanders Brett Myers and Kyle Kendrick were not.
Park (hamstring) threw three bullpen sessions in Clearwater, Fla. in the past week, and said yesterday that he was ready to pitch.
"Feels good," he said. "Yeah, I'm ready. Really ready."
"I think health-wise, he's there," said general manager Ruben Amaro Jr.
Myers never appeared to recover from a muscle strain in his upper back suffered in September. He also underwent hip surgery in June.
Bruntlett gives the team another option for late-inning defense and pinch-running
bruntlett they added when manuel stuck himself with miguel cairo in leftfield in the ninth inning of game 4. always logical thinking to expect that to happen again.
Or pinch running Cliff Lee.
When he was in there I was expecting a collision at home or him rounding 3rd and tearing his knee up
well theres no reason to ever pinch run anyone until they reach second, unless you plan on having them steal a base. but yes that would be another reason.
love Pedro getting the 2nd Start, gets Lee ready. 2 cy young winners and a WS/NLCS MVP i'll take that start. Now pitch like it

LA is pathetic. You need to have lived there just see just truly and honestly how bad it is. You wouldn't have even NEEDED to check their website for tickets. You'd just already know there was at least 40% of that stadium still available.

There's no reason to pinch run anyone IF they reach second. Most people can score from second on a good single.
Not as many can score on a double from first and Bruntlett can. His beard makes him more aerodynamic.

In case any of you missed it, Kershaw is only 21.

Get Sandy Koufaxdale's pitch count up
he had 91 walks this year...for perspective cole i think had 43...so dook will put men on (cept jimmy)

why is kershaw's facial hair all munson-white trashy-like?

Quote from: PhillyPhreak54 on October 15, 2009, 08:56:03 PM
Gotta get a better swing, James.
But he can't work the count too much like he said he was gonna do because Kerfax is getting ahead 1-2 and 0-2
two outs and man on second theres no need to work the count anyway...get a good pitch and try to drive it...his last at bat should have been his first at bat and vice versa
Quote from: Don Ho on October 15, 2009, 08:59:54 PM
Gotta love the tools sitting behind home plate. No one is watching the game. It looks like a farging mixer.
Is there a crowd with bigger diversity in MLB?
Mixer types with sweaters draped around their necks in the money seats; empty middle price seats, guys who dump beers in chicks faces and the Mexican Mafia in the cheap seats.
and a LOT of Phillies fans.
chase had an awesome at bat
wow
damn i thought that was gone for sure
it sounded dead, like off the end...he put a good swing on it though
I love Davey Lopes!
Quote from: SunMo on October 15, 2009, 09:11:47 PM

Hey, he's tired, remember?
i have no doubt cole gives up another home run sometime in the next inning or two...seems like hes done it all year...when hes going his best he puts some inexplicably bad fastball right out over the plate
Runs will come next time big boys are up. Book it
Quote from: SunMo on October 15, 2009, 09:16:53 PM

Howard's did earlier too. Both got it right off the end.
I like how Cole has settled in so far....but how about some runs, jackholes.
What's up with Victorino and Martin?
I promise you Feliz is going to belt this mother outta here!
good hop by Raul
someone needs to belt one of those sweet ass hangers he throws...problem is he sequences his pitches so well that its hard to know when ones coming and when it does youre so off balance
Vic and Martin have been shtein talking since last year. I don't like Martin...he's a Hoyda.
Randy Marsh is a terrible HP ump...missed calls, blantant missed calls, for both sides.
Anticipating balls in the dirt? OK.
This is the inning to jump Kerfax
3-1 count, runner on 2nd...
be smart, Feliz
Kershaw, Blake and Bruntlett all extras in Deliverance.
Ok Chooch...
PLEASE have a SMART at bat.
I'm begging you.
if he walks here cole goes up to the plate with no bat
Chooch is the fargING MAN in the playoffs
chooooooooch!

Great farging swing by Carlos. Pulled his hands in a bit and got the barrel on there.
Kerfax runs a 3-0 count to Colbert
IMPLOSION
clutch guy in the 8 spot :yay
Kershaw is toast
Get the BP up, iceholes.
Come on Jimmy....make this a huge inning
lol 4 pitch walk to hamels.
What did I tell you stillupfront's moms. WHAT THE farg I TELL ALL YALL
I love me some Carlos! Kershaw falling apart.

the way kershaw is pitching might as well send them all up with no bat
of course retard swings 3-1 at a low pitch that hasn't been called a strike all night...moron
Kershaw's only 21? I didn't know that.
let's see how hamels responds when he gets back on the mound now that he's got a lead. hopefully that helps settle him down some more.

see you in cooperstown kershaw

I love when IGY is so completely and totally wrong.
It usually means a Philly team wins.

Exactly. Good for us, bad for LA fans.
Go on and get a jump of traffic, folks.
****disclaimer - I know the Phils BP and Cole still have to get it done***
QuoteRyan Howard just set a Phillies record with 18 postseason RBIs. Howard has 18 RBIs in 22 games. Mike Schmidt had 16 in 36 games.
it was obvious early in the inning that kershaw was done for the night... shoulda been removed well before choke. When a guy throws three wild in the 5th inning, thats a signal to get him the farg out.
How many pitches did Kershaw throw that inning?
werth just missed that one. got under it a little too much.
good effing inning though. :yay
Quote from: Don Ho on October 15, 2009, 09:50:40 PM

You have to look at the Thome pic on the right. Move your mouse over it.
Hilarious.
Almost as funny as Cole letting them get an inning started. >:(
way to start the inning and back up your offense you friggin women
Let's go Blanton get ready.
good comeback colbert
Fag.
Russell Martin is a clown. Thanks for staying put.
Now we'll see what kind of balls puss boy has here.
That was a fastball high and outside. Just a good piece of hitting there by Furcal. Need to get out of this inning though with Ethier and Manny coming up.
Phillies Suck! How original.
Cole needs a DP more than Jenna Jameson.

What the farg was that? Remember last time we screwed up a double play?
I like Cole with that "You icehole" glare at Utley.
That was the quintessential DP ball. Need to get Manny out here.
did you see Hoyda boys reaction on the mound....looked like he wanted to cry and tell his mother on utely...ill be shocked if he gets out of this without another run

Martin's name is in honor of his mother (I think?) who died this year. He changed his name on his jersey after she died.

Such farging flags...

Who was more excited with that home run? Chip or you?
Our bullpen will show um!
His reaction was insulting.
I wonder if choke rolled his eyes after that manny bomb. He's such a Hoyda ass baby its beyond infuriating
the sad thing is the phillies did just what they needed to do because of their big disadvantage in the pen...get a big early lead...and now they are right where they least wanna be...going into the late innings in a close game
They'll win it for Chase.
12 outs let's go children
Quote from: Don Ho on October 15, 2009, 10:12:22 PM

I think Jimmy farged up that DP more than Chase. Either way, it should have been an out, regardless of Jimmy's slow turn.

lame. but i think just about all public forms of "honoring" dead people are lame. everything from graves and tombstones to roadside crosses to the stupid farging window decals that are so popular now to wearing your dead mama's initial on your jersey. people live, people die and the overwhelming majority of them aren't special. quite trying to keep alive the memory of someone everyone's either forgotten about or never even knew. keep your grief to yourself.
btw....farg hamels.
Durbins up :paranoid
farging get this bitch out of the game i cant watch him anymore
he just has no out pitch right now
GET HIM THE farg OUT OF THERE!
Get him out.. He's done.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Hoyda
bout damn time!
Difference between lee and hamels.. lee gets manny out and goes two more strong innings...
Hamels gives up the homer and dies the next inning.
Hamels has great stuff but the mental makeup of a 12 year old girl when things start going against him.
too bad myers is off the lcs roster or he could do a little wife beating on hamels.
Collen hamels. There
game over now....how many runs do the dodgers score in the next two and two thirds...four?

wtf was that throw?
thome time?
He does if he's throwing 94 with an 81 mph change up. The variation with a consistent arm motion = really good stuff. He just gets rattled too easily.
"throw back to second is on target in fact he air mailed jimmy rollins"
"Dodger stadium magic". How many times can he say that in one farging game?

hes never thrown 94 consistently in his life...91-92 is usually his best...but speed has nothing to do with great stuff...movement does...and thats something hes never really had...he has a great change when he can locate his fastball...but cole has never been known for having great stuff...if he is hitting his spots with his fastball hes tom glavine who also didnt have great stuff...if he isnt hes jeff suppan
Can't walk Thome there to put two in scoring position for furcal. Bleh.
He doesn't have three pitches, but his change up was frequently referred to the last two years as the best change in baseball. And FB-Change speed variation is crucial. It doesn't matter if it's 86-75 or 97-86 as long as the speed gap is there with a consistent arm motion because it keeps hitters off balance.
happ is just not ready for this yet (if he ever will be)...hes so out of his league its frightening
can we get one more cut of Hamels sulking?
whew

Negative nancies here. You all deserve to lose
there ya go jimmy!
put one in the corner shane
could kuo work any slower
not utley's finest game
I can't tell you how much I enjoy the fact that I feel like I'm playing clue and trying to solve a mystery every time I watch TBS since they never say who is warming up or who's coming in the farging game once the pitcher has been hit for already.
Eyre I come to save the day
one and done for the odb then i think we see chan ho
basticho is coming in versus the heart of the Dodgers lineup? Super.
just a brutal 1-2 pitch
no farging shtein, could never have guessed that. that's what happens when basticho is your best option in the 7th.
Well this doesn't bode well
Love the Korean's beard.
yeah thats a slight downgrade from romero of last year to the odb this year
theres to many backward steps like that on the phils this year vs last year to win this series
chan ho's stuff looks real good

The only reason that wasn't a home run was because it was Furcal.

yes. and i'm glad he did because i'm a better, well informed person because of it.
nice ab shane-o
Yeah I heard that too. I'm not sure which comment was more farging ridiculous.
5 hour game! Go selig!
there you go shane make this fat farg work
I was feeling a 1-2-3 half here, glad Vic got on base. Hopefully he won't farg it up like in the first.
this ump is generous with that low strike zone tonight
is it just me, or have the umps strike zones been horribly inconsistant throughout the playoffs?

My stomach hurts thinking about the next asinine comment from the TBS crew.
i'd give lidge a try and put in fat joe at the first sign of trouble. wouldnt be surprised if charlie waits well beyond the first sign of trouble though
In the bag. This is just the epilogue.
I gotta leave the room now.
i love lidge always blames injuries and mechanical "things" for his year....no you just plain sucked
1-2-3 here no doubt.
According to Gamecast, this is a 91% save situation. Let's not be the 9%, Lidge.
ok maybe not. you have to bury that pitch brad.
tick...tick...tick
damn damn damn damn damn. if jimmy were 5'10".........
he needs to not throw his slider EVERYTIME its 0-2 1-2....people are sitting on it and it doesnt have the bite it used to have where even if they knew it was coming they couldnt hit it
"Don't count out the Dodgers yet" Thanks Skipper.

i doubt it. rivera's been racking up postseason saves since the mid-90's.
14 of the last 17 game one winners in the NLCS have gone onto the WS.
Absolutely needed...get to Kerfax and then get to go against Crazy Vicente, Kurodasan and Wolf.
hamels got the win. he totally deserved it.
just a huge win, love getting game one in Chavez Ravine.
fargers better win tomorrow. i don't wanna get stabbed during a loss
As a fan winning a Game 1 feels so much better when it's an away game. Pressure's on the Dodgers right away.
how many does lidge have...i believe mariano has 36

Someone on the Phils MB suggested Pedro ear hole him. Too early and important in the game for that.
But if there is a blow out like you said, he needs a stick in the ribs. Have Basticho nail him.
Can't understate how clutch Chan Ho was in that spot. Came in with a guy on 2nd, 1 run lead, no outs, face 3-4-5, and didn't let the runner advance a base. Huge spot in the game.

How can you not love Buck Martinez when he explains that Charlie had to choose between Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels for game 1 and he went with his ace, Hamels, and it was never a question in his mind.
Never mind the fact that Lee would be pitching on two days rest. farging imbecile.

Quote"Nobody wants to see The Manny," Park said. "Nobody wants to look at The Manny."
That's an amazing quote. Chan Ho is the farging man.
All of this from Jayson Stark's column this morning:
QuoteAnd, finally, there was Chan Ho Park. He hadn't pitched in a major league baseball game in one day shy of a month (since Sept. 16, when he popped a hamstring). He hadn't pitched in any kind of baseball game since the late September, when he reinjured that hamstring in an Instructional League game. So naturally, he was the most dominating Phillies reliever of the night -- buzzing through Manny Ramirez, Matt Kemp and Casey Blake with the tying run on second in the seventh. Asked if that brilliance surprised him at all, Park deadpanned: "Yes. Very much. My body's not right. And I'm old, you know?"
But in his own inimitable way, Chan Ho Park epitomized this night. Just about everything that happened seemed to come out of nowhere. And so did he.
QuoteSo maybe that explains what happened in the bottom of the seventh inning in this game, when Park showed up.
There hadn't been a whole lot of energy for him to feed off of for the last month -- since he'd spent most of that time either visiting doctors or throwing bullpens in the Instructional League, in front of about 14 people.
Once he reinjured himself, he decided to concentrate just on getting healthy. So he hadn't pitched in any actual games for weeks. But "mentally," he said, with a chuckle, "I was pitching a doubleheader every day."
Once upon a time, Park was his team's most consistent reliever, a man with a 1.84 ERA in his final 34 appearances. But as the Phillies roared down the stretch, clinched their division and then survived their Ice Age Division Series with the Rockies, he was Mr. Invisible.
And then, Thursday night, when they desperately needed somebody to save them, he turned more visible than Brett Favre.
For Park's first game in a month, this was the low-key situation Manuel brought him into: One-run game. Seventh inning. Tying run on second. Nobody out. And Manny about to hit.
"That's the first guy I faced," Park would mutter an hour and a half later. "Manny. Man on second. No outs."
What fun. The p.a. system was pounding. Those Dodger rally towels were gyrating. Manny dug his back foot into the dirt and rocked in the batter's box. And Chan Ho Park made sure to peer directly into the glove of his catcher, Ruiz -- and not at the man with the bat in his hands.
"Nobody wants to see The Manny," Park said. "Nobody wants to look at The Manny."
But whatever Park was looking at, it worked. He got The Manny to bounce to third. One out. Then he blew a 96-mile-an-hour full-count inferno past Kemp for the second out. Then he got Casey Blake to bounce to Chase Utley. Three outs. And as Park strolled casually toward the dugout, his teammates shook their heads in amazement.
"He probably took some good Korean ancient herb something," laughed Brad Lidge. "I guess what I'm saying is, he did a great job getting himself mentally and physically ready to pitch."
Must have been those Korean ancient herb somethings, because Park admitted later he wasn't feeling as good as he looked.
"I'm glad I pitched good, 'cause I didn't feel good," he said.
So what, he was asked, wasn't feeling so good?
"Just because I hadn't faced guys," Park replied. "Maybe I was a little bit nervous. My heart was pumping a little faster. I could hear more noise in there."

pitchers pitch every five days....they dont have five days off....thus he would have been pitching on three days rest
Short rest is "3 days", full rest is 4 days off or at least that's how I've always understood it. Rest as in you aren't pitching. Whatever, we mean the same thing.
If Lee had pitched on Thursday it would have been on 2 days rest.
I lost my igy decoder ring so I have no idea what he is trying to say, but it would have been on 2 days rest.

check out these beauts from hameltoe
Hamels was visibly frustrated after second baseman Chase Utley threw a potential inning-ending double-play relay into the Phillies dugout. A run scored and noted batsman Manny Ramirez stepped into the batter's box with a runner on second.
"It's tough," Hamels said. "You're battling. I made the right pitch and got exactly what I wanted. Unfortunately the result didn't happen. It takes a lot out of you. These guys are tough hitters. When you do get them out, when you get them in a situation where you can seal the deal, it takes a lot of emotions to get through that. That was a moment where I thought we had that - and we didn't."
"Imagine you're in Philly what would the fans do? I did exactly what the fans would have done."
You're not a fan, you douche.
You're a farging million dollar ballplayer.

Can we leave him in LA? I listened to 950 this morning and loved how the fans/press is just crucifying him for his behavior last night.
Pedro had Martin at second. Dude was jogging. Like the safe/smart play.
Still can't get over all the empty seats in the lower bowl of Dodger Stadium. Friday afternoon, NLCS? C'mon people.
Very nice.
Victorino complaining about the heat? C'mon Cole.
And Ron Darling lived in Hawaii for abour half an hour.
where is everyone? lol
Present and scared shteinless.
Wonderful start to the eighth.
whats utley been smoking lately. he's horrible this series
You have got to be kidding me. Perfect throw from Feliz.
Maybe Cole was right.
Utley will redeem himself with his mighty bat.
Love the fact that Utley waits till the NLC to not be able to throw to first base
farg kobe
We were all so confident this bullpen could handle a 1-0 lead late in the game.
smart play by Werth. let that farger land foul.
Can Happ get through this guy without having a nervous breakdown
what the farg was that shtein
PHILLIES SUCK PHILLIES SUCK
What a farging cheap ass inning for the Dodgers. Ball off Feliz, Hoyda bunt, Utley's a bonehead, Madson is Cole's son, Happ in total shock. farg!
Ya think Broxton's gonna be fired up in the ninth?
They'll get em back.
Jimmy's due
Shane please do not swing here. Let him walk you.
Dumb and Dumber strike again.
Where can we find a beast like Broxton?
Lol donny boy you need some help. Offense didn't show what can you do. They werent gonna sweep
I'm more upset about them wasting the effort from Pedro than I am about them losing the game. Phils stole a game in their park, not too shabby.

That's what si so upsetting. What a game by Pedro! He was awesome.
Correct, offense didn't show up. Just the way it happened in the 8th. Easier to swallow if the Dodgers just went balistic with the bats.
if you can't hit worth a shtein i think you should at least be able to field the ball. idiots.
at least they took one.
Also, Happ's walk of Ethier pisses me off. Don't be so farging afraid of the batter contacting the ball. Two outs bases loaded, a lot of good things can happen for the defense when the ball is hit.
A walk there just hands the game to the Dodgers. Make the batter work for it at least.
How many runs does Pedro give up in his next start? I'm thinking at least 5.
Dicks. At least I didn't get shanked. No way this series goes back to la though
it will
phils will take 2/3 in philly
then you have pedro in game 6 and clifford in game 7 to lock it up. should be done. confidence boys, just gonna be a grind.
I'm a little shocked by the strike zone in this series so far
and that corny ass strike zone image on the bottom right of my tv screen is on my nerves. that thing is so off its ridiculous because the ump has been calling it opposite both ways
thats cause youve never watched baseball in your life...welcome to ten years ago saying pitch track isnt on point......really??
yep never in my life. shut your farging mouth flappy lip
lol...pitch track isnt right......MOMMY!!

hatin to hate
games on the offense. asking the pen to old 2 leads back to back is too much. this pen is what it is. the offense only gettin 1 run off of that drunk nicaraguan is the killer. why they didnt have a 6-0 lead after 7 is beyond me. blame jrol, vic and utley before you blame the pen. you had to pencil the pen in for 2 blown games. 1 down.
someone cares more about money than the team
so weak
if there isn't 3 horrible plays in the 8th maybe the pen holds it. more then likely though were just bitching about lidge blowing it instead. anyways a 1 run lead is just that whether you score 1 or 10, it'd be nice to see them hold that in the playoffs. maybe i'd feel better the dodgers beat the phils more then they beat themselves. and walking in the winning run is just gay. hopefully lee pitches a CG gem and i can drink a little less.
I'm angry.
1. Utley needs to get his shtein straight. Not only is his defense shtein, but when is the last time he got a big hit? Step it up, golden boy. I can understand the one last night. Awkward feed from Jimmy led to a flat-footed throw.
But today he has a fat farg Ronnie Belliard lumbering towards him and isn't close enough to have to worry about using the base as protection from a slide. And you have that funhole Russell Martin running down the line, who isn't exactly fast. So you have time to make a throw.
2. JA Happ...you have no testes. You have Ethier 1-2 and then it's nibble time. Nibble time is understandable when you have an open base. But when they are loaded and Manny is lurking on deck you go the farg after the guy. Pitch to contact. Learn from Pedro.
Speaking of Pedro, he's a master. Not only does he have the will to win, he's got the Jeff Garcia Fieryness burning inside. Some of these clowns could learn a thing or two from him.
3. Vicente "Castoff" Padilla shut them down. Are you serious? Tequila swilling, bloodshot eyes Nicaraguan drunkard shut them fools down.
This was a winnable game. Thank you Utley and Happ. You suck.

its called being realistic. its about winning 7 more games. who cares if it takes 7 games or 12. its about getting it done. in fact, since this is the icing on the cake, might as well go for epic 7 gamers instead of boring ass sweeps. how farging clutch was game 4? if thats game 1 or 2 it aint nearly as good.
the phillies are going to have their rally win in philly. the dodgers got theirs. this is 2 evenly matched teams trading punches. but when it comes down to it the better team that can close the deal will win it. and then youll have your nl title, skippy.
QuoteLOS ANGELES—Just like after any other game, Chase Utley retreated to a bank of laptop computers to deconstruct and mull over aspects of the game he had just played. It's a common sight in the Phillies' clubhouse when the team is on the road. Hunched over a computer screen, Utley is as focused as he is during a baseball game.
All around him there is chaos with the clubhouse attendants packing up gear and moving it to the truck, while teammates dress quickly in order to get on the bus bound for the airport. Within the tumult, the media hangs around waiting for once last nugget of information or bit of insight to plug into a story.
Still, Utley always sits alone with a laptop and sometimes a post-game meal. He's usually dressed in his first layer of uniform clothing and is always caked in dust and dirt after nine innings.
So as Utley sat at a makeshift table by himself with the laptop after Friday afternoon's Game 2 of the NLCS at Dodger Stadium, nothing seemed terribly different from any other game. The difference this time than all the others was Utley had on the goat horns following the Phillies' 2-1 loss to the Dodgers.
That was the different element in the post-game scene. Rarely can a loss ever be pinned on Utley, the perennial All Star who is blessed both with great talent and determination. And even though there is plenty of blame to go around for the loss, it's Utley's error that stands out the most.
No matter how many times you watch it, Utley...its still sails over everyone's head.
Quote from: PhillyPhreak54 on October 16, 2009, 09:04:08 PM
I'm angry.
1. Utley needs to get his shtein straight. Not only is his defense shtein, but when is the last time he got a big hit? Step it up, golden boy. I can understand the one last night. Awkward feed from Jimmy led to a flat-footed throw.
But today he has a fat farg Ronnie Belliard lumbering towards him and isn't close enough to have to worry about using the base as protection from a slide. And you have that funhole Russell Martin running down the line, who isn't exactly fast. So you have time to make a throw.
2. JA Happ...you have no testes. You have Ethier 1-2 and then it's nibble time. Nibble time is understandable when you have an open base. But when they are loaded and Manny is lurking on deck you go the farg after the guy. Pitch to contact. Learn from Pedro.
Speaking of Pedro, he's a master. Not only does he have the will to win, he's got the Jeff Garcia Fieryness burning inside. Some of these clowns could learn a thing or two from him.
3. Vicente "Castoff" Padilla shut them down. Are you serious? Tequila swilling, bloodshot eyes Nicaraguan drunkard shut them fools down.
This was a winnable game. Thank you Utley and Happ. You suck.
so many good points here i dont know where to start
cept vincente...he was awesome...every bit as good if not better because of his "stuff" than pedro...he scares me in the playoffs because it means hes on a good team and in games that mean something...whole lot different than being 20 games under .500 pitching in arlington in august
happ youre so right...he nibbled his ass off....but the problem is thats who he is.....he has no out pitch...can he strike out six guys on cincy in june sure....but in a mlb playoff game he isnt going to get you out of an inning...that said.....give up a three run double in the gap before you walk home a run
yes pedro is insane...its so farging frustrating that they wasted his amazing performance....and overshadowed in this is charlies decision to go with him...he deserves mad credit...in fact charlie has pushed pretty much every right button this whole post season...he certainly hasnt been the train wreck we all know and love

Ain't no doubt Padilla was on today. His movement was what it was when he was young and why I was about the only Padilla fan in the Delaware Valley. He's still aloof as all hell, but the guy can pitch. It's obvious that putting him on a good team means danger. Because like you said, its meaningful baseball and he's got the stuff to make good hitters look stupid.
I didn't like Happ coming in there. I thought Chuck should have stayed with Madson, but its pick your poison because Ryan ain't exactly one to instill confidence. But when he got ahead 1-2, I'm like...put this dude away. And then he started trying to be Tom farging Glavine. Yo rook; you ain't gettin pitches on the black. Go after him with location if you don't have the stuff. Watch what Pedro did. He slops shtein up there and occasionally touches 90 when he has to, but he will bust a guy inside and set hitters up. But when you have a guy 1-2 with the bases loaded you do not walk him.
Give up a hit. Make him beat you. Hell, even if you groove a fastball there chances are slim that he'll get a hit. God damn that AB might have been the most mad I have been all year.
Chuck going with Pedro was the total right call. Just like the right call was to not throw him in COL even though Happ crapped himself. For them to piss that start away is criminal.
My only beef with Charlie was the decision to go with Happ. At first when he took Pedro out I was a little mad, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt and he said after the game that Martinez was spent...so it was the right move.
You know what? I would have picked Basticho over Happ simply because his fastball has movement.
i said the same thing to clint at the bar...why go with happ when you needed a punch out there...madson has the stuff to punch people out...which is way more important there than lefty vs lefty...
Shows how much trust he has in Madson. That he is willing to give up a K pitcher probably because he knows he's been more prone to meltdowns than 3-mile island.
i dont even think it was a trust issue...i feel like it was overthinking it......lefty vs lefty was callin and he couldnt get away from it
lets be honest tho...we are looking for things to get mad at when in reality if socal gritty guy doesnt have an onfield abortion the phils win

Pretty much.
That was end game right there.
And Ho Chi Minh pissing all over himself on Belliard's bunt didn't help either.
Pitching and defense wins; but they only had it for 7 innings today
Don't forgot the 1 run thing
QuoteCole Hamels said he reacted just like any Phillies fan would have reacted.
He threw up his arms.
There is an unwritten rule in baseball about showing up teammates on the field, and when Hamels showed his frustrations after Jimmy Rollins and Chase Utley could not turn an inning-ending double play in the fifth inning last night in Game 1 of the NLCS, he appeared to break that rule. Charlie Manuel said today before Game 2 that he would talk with Hamels about it. Rich Dubee had little to say, other than it would be handled internally.
"It's not going to look good ever," Hamels said. "Why do you allow guys to fist pump when they get out of an inning? We're very emotional, and this game is very hard, so when you get in those situations, you make the right pitch and something actually happens and then you're not able to come through, it's draining. But at the same time, you see the ticker and it's five innings, four earned runs."
Asked before the game about Hamels throwing up his arms, Rollins said, "So?"
So it didn't upset him? Rollins shook his head no.
"When you have a group of guys that we have here, those rules can be unwritten and rewritten and overlooked," Jayson Werth said. "It could really bother some people and disrupt a clubhouse. But since everybody knows each other so well and we believe in each other and we've got such a good thing going on here, it wouldn't necessarily be true for us. I've played on teams where that would have been a problem, but that's not this team. I don't think Cole was doing that to be malicious. He was just in the heat of the moment. I think Chase and Jimmy would overlook that because that's a play they could make. They didn't make it. It's part of the game. It's not a big deal, but I know what you're saying because I've seen it be a big deal."
Hamels said he thinks Rollins and Utley understood it happened in the heat of the moment.
"I'm so into the game. I'm a fan, too," Hamels said. "If this game was in Philly, what do you think the crowd would have done? It's high emotions, high intensity. You want to get things done, and I reacted just like the fans would have. But I'm supposed to be the professional and I'm not allowed to do that. I think they understand I didn't mean anything by it. It looks better to pitch 5 1/3 and give up one run vs. four, but the ultimate goal is to win. I'll say I'm sorry to the guys. I think we're such a good team and good teammates that they understand the frustrations."
I think the issue Dubee might have is not so much showing up his teammates, but the fact that Hamels has lost his focus a few times this season when things haven't gone his way and it has hurt him. Hamels acknowledged that to be the case last night, and three pitches later Manny Ramirez hit a two-run home run.

:-D I saw that on Dodgers Blues
That was unpleasant yesterday.
Hey Sarge,
How was your experience at Dodger Stadium? I just talked to my neighbor who was in LA two weeks ago on fall break with his kids and he went to the Dodgers/Rockies game on the Saturday they clinched. Said the crowd was actually well behaved and he was cheering for the Rockies. Said he saw very fee gang bangers.

Said the crowd was actually well behaved and he was cheering for the Rockies. Said he saw very fee gang bangers.
the stadium itself is less than impressive. even from the outside, it's pretty bland looking.
getting in and out of the parking lot farging SUCKS! i think there's only like 2 entry/exit points. we got there about 90 minutes early so getting in wasn't that bad for us, but if we tried showing up less than 45 minutes early, we would have missed the first 2 innings. trying to leave, we pulled out of our parking spot, drove about 20 yards and then sat still for about an hour.
even trying to exit the stadium itself was a frigging traffic jam. the stairs and walkways aren't designed to allow more than 3 or 4 people to walk side by side.
the section that we sat in was like the puerta vallerta section of dodger stadium. all white people and no mexicans. except for the vendors. and chuggie. we got some peanuts thrown at us, but that was about it. the few people in our section who tried talking smack were weak and i silenced them fairly easily.
chuggie picked up some groupies. not suprisingly, they were 2 white dudes who had the giant foam fingers. except instead of them being the #1 foam fingers, they were west side foam fingers. yeah, giant foam fingers with the 2 middle fingers crosses to form a W.
the fans were quiet as hell too until the 8th inning. up until that point, you could pretty much hear pin drop. even chuggie was screaming to other dodger fans that they sucked.
for the most part, i didn't have any problems. mild ribbing and the peanut tossers, but that's pretty much to be expected.
farg the bullpen.
Looks like Blanton is the Game Four guy.
Good call. Happ can no longer be trusted and Blanton can go 7-8 without much effort. Just have to hope he doesn't give up some early like he is prone to do.

and two days later the anger is stronger than ever...one of the hardest looses ive ever had to endure
they lose this series and 'gritty' chase utley goes down as an all time goat
im so ill that they wasted such an amazing performance by pedro
charlie is a moron and ja happ needs to be sent home...one look at his face when hes in these games and all you see is a scared little child out there....he cant see the field again
SICK
SICK
SICK
SICK
SICK
PUKE!!
Yep, I'm still pissed too. You cannot piss away a start like that. Can't do it. I want winners!
There was an article on Happ awhile back on how he doesn't show any emotion out there and knows how to control himself (obviously doesn't know how to control the 1-2 pitches) and Dubee said that is one of the things they like about him. The emotion thing is something I will never understand. I hate the unwritten rule about being stoic on a baseball field and showing people up.
Get excited. The only thing I don't like it is when guys pimp a HR too hard. A little pose here and there, OK. Blatant posing, gets you a fastball in the ribs.
Going back to Philly up 2-0 would have been devastating for the Dodgers. As it is they now know that the Phillies can be beaten even if they get great starting pitching. That's why I was so effing upset about the loss. Pedro was absolutely sick and the moment Cholly gave him the hook I turned to my buddy and said, "game over".
He had thrown a whopping 95 pitches but was still mowing the Dodgers down like they were helpless.
No reason to give him the thumb. None at all.

Except for Charlie saying he was "done, spent"...and the way Pedro is, I doubt he acquiesces unless he really is cooked. I seem to remember him saying something like since he hadn't pitched in awhile that he was done.

LOL I can't even take you seriously anymore.
If we lose this series it's because we got shut down by the likes of Vicente Padilla and Randy Wolf. Just pathetic.
Saw on the Phils MB that there are tickets available for tonight below face on StubHub
A guy on the Phils MB went back and looked at Utley's run production...
Since August 22nd, Utley has not had a where he drives in more than 1 run.
Since July 17th he hasn't had more than 2 RBI in a game
Stop saying "we" you iceholes.
lol @ continuing to blame happ
utley has been non existent. rollins and vic arent getting on enough. pedro feliz is pedro feliz but still he is useless.
blame them you monkeys. ja happ is a starter who walked in a run. not great, but this team doesnt win games with pitching.
no ones blaming happ...just saying he isnt ready for the big time yet...one look at his face and you can see the terror
Happ isn't a reliever. He shouldn't be being placed in that spot anyway and he wouldn't be if the lame asses in the bullpen weren't completely shteinting the bed.
Again - there was no reason in the world to have removed Pete Martin. NONE.
i had a way bigger problem with removing madson...altho im with you i would have ridden pedro until his next baserunner
its just uncanny what this game has done to me...i feel like its the week after the tommy hutton game
So if Pedro says he's done and Charlie and Dubee can see he's done...you continue to ride him?
What sense does that make?
the blame falls on madson and lidge
one is supposed to be the set up game. the other the closer. both have eaten starched icehole this year.
those guys fail, manuel has to scramble to fill the holes or roll the dice with starters and middle relievers. you play this game, youre gonna get got a lot and welcome to the 2009 phillies.

Does it make more sense to ask Pedro to throw another 15 pitches or put a guy (or guys as it happened) that had no shot at closing the game out?
Look, the Phillies lost that game because they played shteintty defense and because they didn't beat the snot out of a worthless hack in Vicente Padilla. But taking Pedro out and replacing him with guys who had nothing contributed to the loss too.
reasons they lost
1. gritty utley
2. taking madson out
3-10 - whetever else you wanna pick at...removing pedro being one of those things
you are stupid
THEY SCORED 1 RUN OFF VICENTE PADILLA. 1 fargING RUN. BLAME THE BATS YOU fargING JOKE.
He's just trying to counter my Rollins hate with Utley hate. It's obvious what he is doing.
The difference between Rollins and Utley right now is that while they are both sucking you know Utley is going to be back to himself next year and is a future HOFer while Rollins has sucked all year and will likely suck next year.
Vicente Padilla. Can't get over that.
I don't blame Happ for losing the game, but he and Chooch do deserve some serious blame for walking Ethier. I'd rather see an underhand slow pitch right down the pike than a walk in that spot. Whether the Dodgers go up by 1 run or 4 runs in the bottom of the 8th, the Phils' chance of winning becomes miniscule. And then they had Manny with the bases loaded.
Gotta either strike out Ethier or let the ball come in play.
did yous even watch the game...padilla was absolutely farging filthy
if pedro was a dodger youd be bitching about the phillies getting shut down by a washed up senior citizen making his first start in over a month
both teams faced good pitching performances...one team didnt throw the ball away at the end

i agree on happ...you simply cant walk a guy there...but like i said hes out of his league in the playoffs right now
happ in that 3-10 range of reasons for losing
to be fair i was covering a high school game, caught innings 5-8.5 on radio and caught most of the bottom of the 8th on tv. so i didnt see padillas stuff.
but not the point. 1 run is a travesty no matter how 'filthy' someone who didnt make it past little league says padilla was. hes vicente padilla.
his stuff was off the charts...throwin 95 the whole game withy ridiculous movement
and im the last person that would ever makes excuses for the phillies offense
he would have shut down the yankees friday
i cant say no to you. youre always right.
its not a matter of right or wrong...its fact...he was what he was...which was outstanding...im not telling you anything i think happened im telling what did happen
so youre a reporter, not a columnist?
in this case yes
LOL
No he wouldn't. Padilla is a joke and the Phillies have a long sordid history of letting shteinbags like him dominate.
did you not hear? acclaimed baseball expert and veteran reporter igy said he was filthy. therefore he was.
if you actually watched that game and didnt see how flithy padillas stuff was then you just dont know baseball...i really dont know what else to say
i already said i didnt watch the game. mostly on radio. but no matter how filthy padilla might have been hes still vicente padilla. 1 run against him is abortion like stuff.
The Phillies have hit much much better fastballs than Padillas.
The radar gun in LA is broke anyway. It had Hamels topping 95 and 96 and it had Chan Ho at 97 on his first appearance. Someone asked Chan Ho about his velocity and that it had him at 97 and he said something along the lines of Oh that's broke.
They chased his junk. You don't have much chance against anyone when you do that.
and one run against aarp pedro coming off a horrible start over a month ago is worse....at least padilla dominated against the cardinals and has been really good for the last several weeks
seriously whats your alls point here besides not having watched the game or having watched it and not be able to recognize what was happening
are you that hard up to blame the offense or do you want to let gritty off the hook like all good MA's
newflash pitching in the mlb playoffs is usually pretty damn good....their offense did not lose the game...bad fielding by gritty and suspect moves by charlie did
Yeah, we are the ones that don't know what we are looking at.
Stick to taling football. Its easier to pretend you know what you're talking about.
half of you didnt even watch the game....be proud
God forbid I should work 2 days a week
to be honest its a coin flip as to whether he watched either....at least you admit you didnt
lol at IGY trying to compare a good game by a no name hack to a good game by a two time Cy Young award winner...no matter how old he is, there's a huge difference.

Me too.

and the fact that he shed a few lbs in the offseason seem to have made him much better on the bases. he's not fast, but i suspect last year he would have been thrown out at 3rd. not to mention that he stole 8 bases this year too and only had 2 before this season.

i'm really glad the phils got off to such a fast start at the plate, because after that travesty in oakland today, i'd probably be going farging nuts right now if it were still 0-0.
Nope, Just love my teams. Homer? yeah sometimes. Defensive about them, most of the time.
I'm just not a gloom and doom guy.
Will you two Romes get a room?
Cliff Lee is filthy tonight. TBS' announcing crew sounds pretty depressed.
another zesty throw by chase.
lol @ utley. farg dude.
lee gives me a boner.
Holy crap, Howard with the scoop :yay
I almost wonder if he's gimped up.
gritty needs to see a shrink or some shtein

i think he's just got it stuck in his head right now. he'll be fine, but it's just annoying as farg right now.
btw thank you hideki kuroda for saving my weekend and possibly my life
Well, Chase is gritty...maybe he'll wait until the WFS to beat down the demons.
(looking for the silver lining here)
nice move shane-o since the bat bounced off that dude's dome and went another 5 rows back.
ugh, that was run #7 right there
"ONE OF the worlds great cities"

that breaking ball was farging disgusting. the bottom dropped out on that thing faster than the eagles super bowl talk.

Ridiculous. 8th inning and his stuff is crazy good.
Don't think anyone can be questioning not getting Halladay now. Lee is absolutely unhittable in the playoffs. He's come up huge.
Jayson Stark pointed out that Howard and Feliz have only tripled in the same month a couple times this season.
I also really like the postseason version of Chooch. This and last year. LOL
what was being chanted at Lee?
Cliff is the man

Their backs aren't up against the wall in this game, they're face down in the gutter with their pants around their ankles and their asses bleeding.
Damn, I thought Charlie was going to let Lee collect the CG... yanking him is the smart move though.
Nice catch Chooch!
And Lee had to be pulled...he was at what? 120 pitches? Need to save that arm.
nice grab chooch! amazing game by lee.

Damn, I thought Charlie was going to let Lee collect the CG... yanking him is the smart move though.
if the btm of the 8th would have been quick, then i think he would have ran him back out there. but since it took a while and lee actually had to run a little, i agree with pulling him also. the only way i'd have run him back out there is if it was a 1 or 2 run game or if lee was working on a no-no.
At 11-0 it might have even been safe to try Happ out there again.
no need to get the doyers bats warmed up.
Oh that was so sweet. Great effort all around. Ruiz is just out of of control.
Did the Eagles play today?
you pessimists, kuroda scares me, the dodgers are good, wahh wahh wahh bullpen lineup wahhh wahh i might not get another title whine bitch moan

youve got world series, funholeholes. this thing is OVA. its ovaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Hoyda ass soft heartless gutless LA losers aint comin back. joey big nuts ftw tomorrow. suck a fleshpop and send me my 30 spot mikey boy
lol @ the TBS post-game guys pointing out that Werth's HR was nothing like a line drive.
Did someone slip MDS a vodka and cranberry?
The Dodger talking heads on Fox Sports West are all over Kuroda like it's all his fault. The bullpen gave up 5 runs. Steve Lyons is a complete icehole. "Dodgers come back and win tomorrow with Randy Wolf." Shut up.

That undoubtedly worsened it but it happens to me when the weather changes radically. It was in the 90's Thursday and then went down into the 40's on Saturday.
It's the kind of headache where you close the blinds and pull the covers over your head. I don't wish them on anyone, not even Andy Reid.
I Get them too.
But I would wish it on Reid.
i thought only women got them
im not even rippin romey i honestly have never heard of a man getting a non hangover headache much less a migraine
Drastic barometric pressure changes plus the absence of humidity does it to me every time. I'll be fine the rest of the winter, though, so thanks for the love and concern.

There are migraine headache variants, some originate in the brainstem (featuring intercellular transport dysfunction of calcium and potassium ions) and some are genetically disposed. Studies of twins indicate a 60 to 65 percent genetic influence upon their propensity to develop migraine headache.[8][9] Moreover, fluctuating hormone levels indicate a migraine relation: 75 percent of adult patients are women.

Go Phillies!
I knew you loved baseball
Love it? How could I not love it. It's the greatest sport ever as long as the Phillies are winning and I only have to watch an inning or two at a time. If only every game could be like Game 5, Part II of the World Series last year. 3 innings of a meaningful sporting event featuring the only team in the sport that I 'root' for. Solid gold.

Nothing is white trashier than baseball fans. Well NASCAR fans, obviously, but they're running neck and neck.
wow, really?
baseball is most popular among elitist white people and latinos. the MA, white trash crowd loves violent sports. not Hoyda sports.
I see way more necks at baseball games than I do at football games. White trash can't afford football tickets.
And they don't have the attention span or intelligence to understand baseball.
Rednecks love huntin' and fishin', NASCAR and UFC. All while drinking Lonestar Beer and beatin their women.

yes it was a blowout and on cable but more people in LA watched the friggin bears/falcons game than game 3.
but no, baseball needs LA/NY. big ratings!
I have to agree with both rjs and phreak.
There are a lot of rednecks that watch baseball, but they have no idea what they are looking at.
They think Rollins is the phillies best player because he can run the fastest in a circle (much like nascar) and can't differentiate from the offense shteinting the bed on themselves against a zesty pitcher and a pitcher actually shutting an offense down.
It's ridiculously annoying.

pg bringing the HEAT!
Three time all-star, two time Gold Glove winner (soon to be three) and 2007 NL MVP. Oh, and WFC in 2008 (and soon to be a repeat winner in 2009).
Yep.
He stinks.
I'm not saying Rollins wasn't good. I'm saying he isn't good.
If there was any reason to believe he would bounce back next year I'd be all over it, but as of yet I don't see any evidence to suggest this. Maybe he was hurt much of the year and hiding it and that would change everything, but until then he is a bad baseball player.
I don't care much about what he accomplished in the past, I care about what he is going to do now and in the future. I guess I'm not as sentimental as you guys.
ok VORPy
goin tonight with $ i dont have
better fargin win
My favorite is the Jimmy Rollins one-pitch at bat. In a slump? Might as well swing at every first pitch you see.

get ready as you know TBS will blow this so out of proportion all night.

I don't have anything against the Angels per se but their fans with those faggy thundersticks need to die screaming. At least the beaners at Dodger Stadium clap nine millimeters together in the outfield, not farging balloons shaped like dicks.

No doubt Howard is more popular than Utley right now, and almost ultimately always is, and it's because of the long ball.

Well....
Now it's time for the offense to wake up.
Blanton is getting behind and that is killing him.
cant believe blake swung at that
Jesus farging Christ, Blanton!

gritted that ball into howards glove
Grits made a throw!
come on now get to this chump
Yeah, keep putting the ball in the air iceholes.
They're getting homer happy.
Wolf is a junk baller and should be smashed.
Pitiful
Its all over, farg
Matt Kemp gets a hit...when is the last time he did that? And a bomb to CF.
"deafening silence"...blow me, TBS
the pen better be ready because blanton cannot handle this part of the lineup
and how much does carey love telling everyone how quiet the crowd is...hes said it at least four different times tonight
Everything is hit in the GODDAMN AIR.
They are getting worked by Randy farging Wolf. Vicente Padilla and Randy Wolf. Wolf and Padilla.
Holy farg...Feliz pops out now.
Ridiculous
its Karma
why is blanton batting
why is Joe batting ???
:boo
Great job, offense. Go farg yourselves.
down by a run against a team with a really good pen and most importantly the middle of the order coming up with guys who absolutely own blanton....i dont get it

Funny because the Dodgers were hitting bullets off Blanton for the first 3 innings but couldn't get a hit out of it. Now they get 3 hits this inning all on bloops or ground balls.
blakes was just a good piece of hitting but still there no real good reason blanton should have been on the mound this inning
there you go....get his ass IN

Cliff Lee is really picky when it comes to seeds.
Chooooooooooooooooooooooch
catch 22 here in the 7th...you want some runners but youd also like to see chan ho go two innings as he looks to have his good stuff tonight and he just got thru the meat of the dodgers
hah ruiz had him beat by a mile but i'm not so sure about that tag

You can't not pinch hit with 9 outs left even if Park looks good but I hear what you're saying.
I really don't like this crew. They're terrible.
whats the crowd supposed to do when the dodgers score... cheer like the TBS booth?

funniest pitch trax ever on that strike 1
Really Chip, a run would help the Dodgers, thanks for the insight.
Raul looked like a goose running on that one :-D
wow chip cary is a condescending ahole
He's unbearable.
LOL he got him!!
Yep, umpires have been uniformly terrible this postseason.
i know thats why i was laughing, its comical in a not so good way.
cant blame him there that was a really tough call to make...replay makes everything look obvious

that call would have been impossible to make real-time. tag was a few feet away from Belliard's foot, he can only look at one at the same time.
Not saying it's an easy call or anything like that but it's amazing the pure number of "wrong" calls that have been made in the playoffs so far.
well, if the phils are gonna get back into this, they really need to make some hay this inning. crunch time

shane is awfully far away from first.
shane is def dumb enough to get picked off here
break for us? it should be 1st and 2nd.
lol that was so bizarre....the crowd i think thought utley struck out.....a guy gets in scoring position and there was total slience
get ready for Chip and Buck to cream themselves......
Do it again Choke. No where on the bases to put you.

that 0-1 pitch was the game...howard should have tattooed it but just missed it...you always get that one pitch and if you miss it its usually your last shot
This fat farg. He's disgusting.
werth needs to not overswing here...you just need to get shane home...not hit a homer...just get your bat on the ball and poke it opposite field if you have to

Howard had a pitch to smash and just missed it.
Werth a THISCLOSE to smoking that 101mph fastball by Broxton and fouled it straight back.
Those were the two shots they missed last inning.
Ibanez
Feliz
Ruiz
Matty Stairs has to PH for Feliz there.

Neither does Charlie.
In comes Lidge in a non-save situation.
phils need a big stop here and lidge is coming in. will he be a brian dawkins or a jeremiah trotter?
Lidge with this ump is going to work well.
Jeez...that was strike 3
Nice pitching Lidge.
eithier is 0-4 tonight but if you ask the crew, they'll tell you it is the most beautiful 0-fer performance you will ever see. so secksee
Whew!
Come on Ibanez....stick it right up Broxton's ass

Lidge actually hit his spots incredibly well that inning.

Wish there was anyone with speed on the bench.
wow it's almost like stairs was in broxton's head for some reason
make way for the bearded one
Broxton wanted no part of him. Not that you can blame him because I doubt there is anyone who scares the Dodgers until Howard's spot.
COME ON CHOOCH!!!
YES!!!
hit him!!!!
way to take one for the team chooch!
That'll work.
No confidence in Dobbs though.

batting lee last night and in several of these blowouts not getting people like dobbs get some work has been stupid by charlie as well...how you expect someone like greg dobbs to come off the bench with like one at bat in the last three weeks and face a broxton
I hope he walks Jimmy. That's hard to do, but I have more confidence in Vic...and the DOdgers fans hate him so that would be great

i thought it was over in the 8th, especially when choke actually choked and struck out. when chooch got hit, i got a wee bit of hope back because broxton had been slightly struggling with his location before finally hitting him. my only concern was that dobbs would hit into a dp.
I love this farging team.

How the hell do you leave a playoff game down by one run?!
Going to be there Wednesday. farging a this team never dies.
Season's over.
Time to move on.
The best part about this line up right now is even the guys batting real zesty in the playoffs (Rollins, Werth) are getting the few hits they do get in big situations.
If Feliz can get off the schnide, there isn't a staff in baseball that can shut this line up down. hell there really isn't one right now.
Jimmy's first walk off hit since June of 2007 against the Reds.
There is no way I'm going to be able to sleep tonight. NONE.
Meh - farg it - I have five weeks vacation left - might as well use a day tomorrow.
how ironic is it that the dodgers pen, which has been the best in baseball all year, is getting rocked in this series, meanwhile lidge has been money in each of his playoff appearances?

govt jobs are the farging bomb. i've taken almost 4 weeks of vacation in the last 10 months and still have about 30 days left on the books.
I've never seen anything like this team.
Broxton is a meathead but I gotta hand it to him - he stood there and answered some stupid farging questions from writers and did it like a man.
lol at Broxton's combover he's got working.
You're bald, dude. Cut it off and quit denying that your hair follicles are as good as your fastball.

Finish these clowns. They are dead. Torre and Broxton's post gamers all but showed they have nothing left.
What hotel are the Dodgers staying at? I'll send a few bottles of Tequila to Padilla's room.

Unbelievable. Had no faith once Dobbs came up and rollins was on deck.
I'm done ragging on Jimmy about the playoffs. He is still going to suck again next year, but that's OK. He doesn't make much. Raul is the big problem with that.
I'd also like to take this opportunity to point out clutchness is not a skill.
lololol...dumb farg
how jimmys ass taste
Jimmy can bat .200 for the rest of the playoffs for all I care, as long as the few hits he gets are in those spots.
Eh he didn't prove me wrong.
One hit doesn't erase a season of evidence.

How a few Dodgers fans feel about CBP:
Quote2- As the Dodgers were taking the field in the bottom of the 7th, the jumbotron in left field played the steroid commercial with the crumbling statue. Of course Manny had to walk straight in that direction while the stadium filled with 'steroids' chants. Truly classless.
It was just shocking to see that stadium when contrasted with Dodger stadium (at least from the organizational standpoint) which tries to create a less farged up atmosphere.
Last comment- Philly is such a piece of shtein organization that they don't even have a "Let's Go Phillies" chant, it was always "Beat LA". That phrasing makes you think that the philly org (and really ANY org that ONLY chants Beat LA) has a severe inferiority complex. The Dodgers are clearly the historically superior team and so for philly fans, the 'big feat' would be to beat la, not just win. It's true and it ties back into what everyone else was saying. The fans just seemed too nice when it came to personal interaction. I felt a sense of self-entitlement and no one took that away from me, not even when they were up 11-0 and throwing a 3-hitter. I couldn't tell if I was at a Nationals game or if I was in the Stepford Wives.
That's all for now.
PS- About half my section left at the end of the 7th inning. School night? Blow out game? farg you philly fans, it's game 3 of the NLCS. Phillies fans will forever have the stigma of leaving early as far as I'm concerned.
What a whiny little bitch.
Who gives a flying farg about those sunburned migrant farming Sun Mos?
not sure what to say, easily the best game of my life
just unreal. getting a foul ball. sitting in front of retards. this guys hair in front of us. j rol. the scene after he hit it. i dont know. just amazing. i could write a million gay sarge poems now. but i wont. too happy.
And not one BlackBerry post while at the game. ToddFail.
Who did you get a foul ball from? What section?
it was too cold to type and what energy i did have as spent taking pics and uploading 2 of them to facebook.
i was in 109, right field. manny hit the ball, it went over me, i look down, and the ball is lying there. i pick it up and start screaming and buddies go nuts. my first foul ball ever. i felt like a 2 year old.

Good stuff. AT least you didn't roll out in the top of the 8th like some guy on PhilaPhans did.
the people i got the tix from left early, but they had a legit reason. i didnt see too many people leave. the bottom sections were still pretty full. some at the top were emptier, but it was hard to tell because so many people never sit there to begin with so they can stand closer or in ashburn.
i left the todd pratt walkoff against boston game early. since then, no sir. and it was a 1 run game. game 4 of the nlcs. like really. who leaves early.
I listened to Franzke's call from the start of Rollins' at-bat to about 15 minutes afterward. Gotta love MLB.TV with the replays and shtein.

Big mahalo to my boy Seabiscuit for keeping me updated on my blackberry from the 4th to top of the 8th inning. Had our first day of basketball practice and I blew off last year's first practice as it was on the same day of Game 5 WS part I.

It was Buck Martinez. He does the show on XM in the morning and a caller from Philly called him on it this morning.
You'd think Scott Graham (his partner) would have slapped him but they're too busy making googly eyes at each other for that to ever happen.

It wasn't quite that bad PG. The guy (whoever it was) said something along the line of
Ideally Torre would like 5 more outs from Koh(sp?) and Sherrill to get to Broxton. It did certainly imply that the Phillies had no chance against Broxton.

If you couldn't tell the rise Caray got from every single little thing the DOdgers did right, you weren't listening very carefully. Between him and Buck, its gross.
Edited to clarify...Buck as in JOE BUCK...not Martinez.
QuoteBut look closer. Look at WHEN Jimmy Rollins got those hits. He now has batted six times in the ninth inning this October -- and gone 4-for-6 (.667). So he's 4-for-31 (.129) in innings one through eight -- but a .667 hitter in the most important inning of the night.
Now, however, let's look closer still. In his five at-bats against two of the best closers in the National League -- Colorado's Huston Street and Broxton -- in this postseason, he has hit .800 (4-for 5). And three of those hits were right in the middle of magical game-winning eruptions -- including this one. Think that's a coincidence? Yeah, sure it is.

If you couldn't tell the rise Caray got from every single little thing the DOdgers did right, you weren't listening very carefully. Between him and Buck, its gross.
Edited to clarify...Buck as in JOE BUCK...not Martinez.
cary is awful but i dont think he hates the phillies or loves the dodgers...and he also wasnt the one who said what you posted

they've been all over the dodgers nuts this series. they haven't really been "dogging" the phils, but they've def been a pro dodger booth.
manny hit a foul ball in game 3 and they were damn near creaming themselves over his batting form.
werth and howard hit "line drive" home runs. kemp hits one barely over the cf wall and it's "majestic"
ethier has had a terrible series and last night all they could talk about is "how good he looks at the plate" even though he's not being productive. it's like the beginning of space jam when jordan strikes out and the crowd cheers and the guys in the dugout are talking about how good he looks.
broxton grunting, manny making a routine play look spectacular because his lazy ass can't get to the ball, blah blah blah.
i have no voice, am still half drunk, and that was an amazing game last night. one of my top 3 sporting events ever.

QuoteIn closing, the Dodgers are set up for an unhappy finish
Meanwhile, the Phillies have momentum, home-field advantage for the clincher, Cole Hamels and Cliff Lee.
T.J. Simers
October 20, 2009
Bow-WOW!
I thought we were past this, but now we've got the Choking Dogs showing us a new trick, rolling over and playing dead.
The Phillies have the momentum, the home-field advantage for the clincher, last year's World Series MVP Cole Hamels on the mound, and Cliff Lee ready to go next if needed.
OK, so things are looking a bit bleak.
"They'll show up," Manager Joe Torre countered, and if he's talking about George Sherrill and Jonathan Broxton, forget it, the Dodgers are goners.
The Dodgers had only one chance to win this series, get the most from their second-rate starters, stay close and then mow down the Phillies in the late innings with Sherrill and Broxton.
But in Game 1, Sherrill gagged. Called on to keep the Dodgers in a game they still had the chance to steal, he surrendered three runs and this series started with the Choking Dogs wilting under pressure.
Maybe it's in the breeding, the Dodgers getting Sherrill from a loser like Baltimore.
Sherrill's next appearance came in Game 4 on Monday night, the Dodgers ahead by a run and all he had to do was make the eighth inning uneventful.
But you know, you learn something about people, spending time in a clubhouse. Sherrill has been a loner since arriving here, an outcast really by his own choosing, and when things got their toughest for the Dodgers, he was a man on an island again -- and come to think of it, that's probably where he belongs today.
He got in trouble in the eighth, so Torre had to go to Broxton to bail him out, the Dodgers' winning formula not accounting for that -- Broxton a skittish pup with his own problems, as any seasoned Dodgers fan knows.
And the rest was a disaster, the difference between success and defeat how teams handle trying times, and the Dodgers cracking two years in a row.
Torre likes to talk about his resilient Dodgers and how they always seem unaffected, and maybe that explains how well they bounced back from an 11-0 blowout a night earlier.
Good for Manny Ramirez and what appeared to be a game-saving catch, good for a gritty Randy Wolf, and good for Matt Kemp ending the Dodgers' 23-inning run without an extra-base hit with a home run.
But it wasn't good enough, the Choking Dogs lacking the closing punch that separates champions from teams no one ultimately remembers.
"We can't be trying to figure out percentages because that wouldn't work on our behalf," Torre said, and this is a series that should be standing 2-2 and the percentages in the favor of the Dodgers, who have the home-field advantage.
Halloween, as well as the two days that follow, would have been World Series Games 3, 4 and 5 played in Dodger Stadium.
You get this far with the best record in the National League, the home-field advantage and now everyone in the country has good reason to be ticked.
As you know, Fox will be broadcasting the World Series and it likes to put the camera on the face of every single fan sitting in the stands, these fans as ugly as any in the country.
Nowhere in America are people more angry than those living here. During Game 3 they had their humorless furry mascot put on boxing gloves and take on someone who was supposed to be an L.A. fan, sunglasses, cellphone and all.
The furry mascot punched him out, much to the delight of the folks here who love a dash of violence with their sports entertainment.
During Game 4 the furry mascot took a small Dodgers blue helmet, placed it on the ground and then pulverized it, much to the delight of the locals. Same tired skits, by the way, they employed a year ago.
But this is considered entertainment here, the only bright spot if they draw the Yankees now, getting a look in the mirror at fans who might remind them of themselves.
The Dodgers had it in their grasp to make a difference, but now it will take a miracle -- and you know what I mean when I tell you Vicente Padilla, Clayton Kershaw and maybe Wolf again will have to be perfect.
"They still have to win four," Torre said, but the Dodgers seem really intent on making it much easier for the Phillies.
Rafael Furcal continued to play as if he's found a home with the Choking Dogs, hitting .125 in this series. Casey Blake is a scrunch better at .133, and while the Dodgers had the lead they needed in the late innings, they don't appear be in the Phillies' class.
"We always talk about it takes 27 outs to close out the game, and you stay there until it's over," Phillies Manager Charlie Manuel said. "Like Yogi said, that's what happens."
Now if anyone should be quoting Yogi, it should be Torre, his Yankees friend, but what's to say after a team has done everything but win?
"It's obviously a tough one to get past," Torre said, "but you know, that's our job."
It was also Sherrill's job to sail through the eighth, Broxton's to nail the victory down, and why the Dodgers played 162 games -- to get to this moment.
But then the dogs choked.
Now it seems it's just time to bow-OUT.
TORRE HAS plans tonight to attend a Bruce Springsteen concert. It was either that or watch the Yankees and Angels, and there doesn't seem like much of a reason at this point to do that.
IF YOU followed pitch tracker, or whatever they call it, on TBS, home plate umpire Ted Barrett will spend his off day visiting an eye doctor.
TODAY'S LAST word comes in an e-mail from Bob Tucker:
"On the Dodgers' website there is a 'Vote for Dodgers All-Time 9' poll. There is a pitcher conspicuously missing on the ballot -- Sandy Koufax. What do you make of that?"
He probably should not have sat with Jamie McCourt.

honestly it doesnt bother me, the article he wrote last year about the dodgers being the better team really was on point.
I'm 90% sure Joe Buck hates the Phillies, but other than that I've never noticed anything.
Every idiot fan thinks every idiot announcer or writer is rooting against them. Some of them probably are but most of them are good enough to not show favoritism. But, it really doesn't matter. Whatever Joe Buck says or does has nor barring on the outcome of the game. So let it go, stop pretending to be personally insulted because you think some smug, talentless announcer hates your team.
Joe Buck makes fall ball...but cmon...lets hear for the 10,000th time how every announcer sucks at their job.
Has TJ Simers looked in the mirror recently? He ain't no GQ cover model himself. That guy has always been a tool.
Joe Buck is terrible to listen to for either baseball or football.
His call of the Phillies winning last year was so bad, it hurts to listen to.
not for us...but to be fair last year could have been the single worst world series ever...there might have been some as bad in terms of teams involved lack of excitement and overall boringness but the two part clinching game of last year i think puts it above all the rest in terms of zestyness...if i wasnt a phillie fan im not sure i could have gotten up for it either
well yea, but hes been just beyond brutal in other series
the best guys are the ones without the act, like dan shulman and sean mcdonough, they just call the games. but crusty old people like joe buck. why do you think the suits at hbo gave him his own show?
my point is if you went back to the final batter of the hideous white sox astros sweep in 05 or whenever it was youd find the pbp guy to be quite unenthusiastic as well
my point is it doesnt matter
phillies win, philles win. joe buck sucks, joe buck sucks. important thing is they won.

I don't really care one way or the other, but Joe Buck is borderline unlistenable. He is just a moron who gets his panties wet over zesty players like Juan Pierre and Rocco Baldelli.

So....Happy won ROY? That's cool, I guess. Maybe it will help him throw strikes and quit nibbling. Not really...
As for the announcers - there is no reason to think the TBS guys could hate unless you think Caray's blinded by his Braves connections. And the contempt that organization shows towards Philadelphia is palpable as evidence by Smoltz's bickering back in the day, and McCann and Cox crying about CBP this year.
Darling is pretty good, but he's a Met...so maybe deep down he doesn't like Philly - but I haven't heard any rips from him.
the mlb ROY doesnt come out until after the season with all the other awards and theres zero chance he wins it over hanson
he must have won some website or magazine ROY award today
and not that i believe hes biased towards the phils but if you had to go one way or the other darling is pro phillie if anything....hes loves on them during met broadcasts much less on a national telecast
QuoteAccording to Manuel, the sequence of events went like this: During Rollins' at-bat, Manuel looked over to the visiting dugout and locked eyes with Dodgers slugger Jim Thome, a long-time friend whom he managed in Cleveland. Manuel says he then pointed to right field, indicating where Rollins was going to hit the ball.
"Thome is standing over in the other dugout, and Thome looks at me, and I motion like that," Manuel said, holding out his arm. "I told Thome, he is going to hit one. I go like this (points finger) and point to the right field stands. I did, but I had a good feeling about it. It wasn't like I was joking or kidding or nothing.
"He was looking at me, and I went like that, and he's shaking his head like no, he's not, or something like that. You can ask him. I had a real good feeling. I was talking to (bench coach Pete) Mackanin the whole time. With Jimmy up there, I liked that moment. I liked the guy hitting."
Charlie is a god...
People hate on the broadcasters because their analyze every single word the announcers say. I don't think Chip has been good but people are used to listening to their hometown announcers. National broadcasters play to crowds a lot. When they're in LA and the Dodgers do something well, they naturally sound more excited. I actually thought the calls last night were pretty good.
The only thing that bothers me are the constant minor errors or slips of tongue. Saying "hopefully the Dodgers can get some insurance runs here" is not something you should hear on a national broadcast even if it's not meant the way it was said.

crazy hearing this statement. not even sure andy reid could get this kind of hype after a sb win.
but the turnaround managerial skills this guy has made the past 2 years has been just short of remarkable.
Turns out these Phillies ARE gritty! (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/jon_heyman/10/20/pesky.phillies/)
Carey is a clusterfarg as a baseball announcer. His last call about the ball going "home" when it didn't even reach second base is testament to that.
He's embarrassing to the point where if his last name wasn't Carey he'd be working in Boise as a weekend sports reporter.

QuoteLater, Matt Stairs would say he doubted seriously that the memories of that home run were still rattling around Broxton's head. Huh? Really? Us media skeptics weren't so sure of that. But either way, we asked Stairs, were those memories still in HIS head as he dug in to face Broxton again?
"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh," Stairs rope-a-doped, very briefly, before realizing he couldn't fake his way through this one ...
"Yeah," he laughed. "Of course."
"As I was standing in that batter's box," he went on, "I had one thing in mind -- and that was going for that Budweiser sign (which hangs from the facing of the second deck in right field). But then again, that doesn't change -- against anybody."
It was quite the scene, watching Stairs dig in. He kicked at the dirt in the box, tapped his spikes, waved his bat, looked straight at the man on the mound. Broxton glared right back from 60 feet away. The vibe in the ballpark was pure electro-shock madness.
Asked what it was like to sit around for 3½ hours and then find himself at home plate, facing a guy who throws rocketballs 100 miles an hour, Stairs answered: "Well, it's not something you want to do every day -- but it's something I enjoy doing."
But Broxton would make sure there would be no reruns of Matt Stairs' home-run trot this October -- by walking him on four pitches. Manuel admitted later he gave Stairs the old green light on 3-and-0. But ball four was so far outside (at 99 mph), even Stairs couldn't take a fly at it.
"I'm just glad he didn't throw me a 3-and-0 fastball [over the plate]," Stairs said, chuckling to himself, "because I was gonna swing as hard as I can and see what happens. I've never turned down a fastball, and I never will. I'll be swinging at fastballs till I'm 50. They might be slow-pitch fastballs, but I'll be swinging at them."
MLB Network just did a countdown of the top 10 hits of the playoffs so far... Rollins' hit, which has only happened two other times in MLB playoff history, was only number two. The walkoff hit from the Angels game was number one.... and most of the top ten hits were Yankees home runs.

Someone had some fun with Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darren_Daulton):
QuoteDuring the 2009 NLCS he correctly predicted that Ryan Howard would hit a home run in his 2nd at bat the following day. In the bottom of the 9th of game 4 of the series Bottalico and the host can seen reacting to the game winning hit with great excitement, Dutch stays motionless and mute through the entire event. He already had seen it happen.
QuoteFirst, to the National League Championship Series on TBS. The Los Angeles market peaked with a 10.9 rating for the Dodgers' Game 1 loss to the Phillies, according to Nielsen Media figures. That game showed substantial growth during the game, with the rating more than doubling to a 14.8 in the late innings from a 7.1 early on. But the Dodgers' afternoon victory in Game 2 produced a 5.9, and Sunday night's 11-0 loss generated just a 7.3.
A closer look at Game 3 reveals a well-earned dissatisfaction among hometown Dodgers fans as the debacle unfolded. The game peaked at a 9.6 locally (or 543,000 households) from 8:15 to 8:30 p.m. Eastern — it had barely begun — and as the Phillies took a 6-0 lead in the second inning, the rating tumbled until it finished with a 4.3 (242,000 homes).
One-quarter of all TV homes have been watching the games in Philadelphia. The game-by-game ratings there would please Ben Franklin: Game 1, a 27.7; Game 2, a 22.2; and Game 3, a 29.1.
It's not easy for a market with 2.95 million TV homes to beat one with nearly twice as many, but that's what Philadelphia has been doing to Los Angeles.
wow a 5.9 for a close victory....be proud roller bladers
QuoteThe NLCS is putting up mediocre numbers on TBS.
Dodgers/Phillies Game 4 drew a 3.4/6 U.S. rating and 5.6 million viewers on TBS Monday night, down 32% and 27%, respectively, from a 5.0/8 and 7.7 million for Game 4 between the same two teams on FOX last year.
Compared to past LCS on TBS, Game 4 was down 11% in ratings and 2% in viewership from Rays/Red Sox Game 4 last year (3.8, 5.7 mil), but up 36% and 48%, respectively, from Diamondbacks/Rockies Game 4 in '07 (2.5, 3.8 mil).
Through four games, the NLCS is averaging a 3.4 U.S. rating and 5.5 million viewers on TBS, down 29% in ratings and 25% in viewers from a 4.8 and 7.3 million through four games of last year's NLCS on FOX. Compared to last year's ALCS on TBS, Phillies/Dodgers is down 8% and 5%, respectively, from the first four games of Rays/Red Sox (3.7, 5.7 mil).
While comfortably above the record-low '07 Rockies/Diamondbacks NLCS (2.8, 4.3 mil), the Phillies/Dodgers series is not performing particularly well -- and unless the series goes six or seven games, it should finish as the second-lowest rated League Championship Series in history.
Games 3 and 4 of the series currently rank as 2 of the 5 lowest rated primetime LCS telecasts ever. The 3.0 for Game 3 is the third-lowest rating ever for a primetime LCS game, ahead of two Rockies/Diamondbacks games that began at 10 PM ET.
The series is not even putting up strong numbers relative to the Division Series -- only 1 game of the Phillies/Dodgers series (Game 1) ranks among the 5 highest rated games of the '09 postseason on TBS.
To put the numbers in perspective, TBS sister network TNT averaged a 5.4 U.S. rating and 8.6 million viewers for the Magic/Cavaliers NBA Eastern Conference Finals in May. Magic/Cavaliers featured the #17 and #19 markets*, while Phillies/Dodgers features the #2 and #4 markets. The NLCS is also barely outperforming the 3.3 and 5.3 million viewers 6 NASCAR races drew on TNT in June and July.

if they cant put up good numbers from the 2 and 4 markets than i dont know. yea the fact that no one in LA cares doesnt help, but farging selig has to got be worse than bettman at this point.

Instead of having a 2.5 to 3 hour game, they load it up with commercials and make it offer four....
They are going to attract anyone outside of Philadelphia.
has nothing to do with commercials
baseball playoff games always take longer. commercials account for no more than 10 extra minutes.
the sport has no national appeal outside of boston, nyy and the cubs. blame selig and fox for that.
I go to Sunday games... and get out of there by four. They let ridiculous shtein go on like players running in for their cleats, and pitchers taking forty minutes a pitch. Obviously, if you aren't a Phils/Dodgers fan, you aren't going to give a farg. Football/Basketball etc have an appeal to other fanbases. I'm going to watch a Viking/Packers game in Lambeau... but I'm certainly not going to give a farg about Twins/Tigers in August.
The thing that's hurting the series isn't the baseball, it's the network. Do you really think it's a coincidence that the three lowest rated championship series of all time are precisely the three that have been on cable?
thats a minor part of it
but the numbers have been going down, fox included. it doesnt help that tbs doesnt broadcast any games outside of sunday afternoon bullshtein and then boom, have the playoffs. espn didnt want them cause the muck up their football and fox didnt want the division series cause it mucks up their fall sked.
go selig.
Who cares baseball isn't going anywhere.

Lets go Phillies!!!
wow that AB sucked for Hamels
farging bitch.
farging hamels.
vicente is crazy, but he aint stupid. come on werth!
lol @ thinking the strike/ball count was backwards. should only be 5 balls, 10 strikes. hello! he walked 2 batters dumbass. i'm going to the media thread to complain about how tbs hates the phillies
that whole Hamels waving off Ruiz pissed me off, Reminded me of Days of Thunder when Cole Trickle refused to listen to his pit crew boss(Duval)
yeah werth!
WERTHHH!!
nice job intentionally walking howard
farg yeah werth!
let's go colbert. team gave you the lead back, don't farging piss it away.
ibanez should probably learn to start pushing the ball to left field.
werth isn't hitting much this series, but every time he does its a big blast that steals their souls.
Werth is cute.
Hamels is such a farging funhole.

what a farging hoyda. put on a skirt on go play some fast pitch softball you farging queen.
He's tipping his pitches. No doubt about it.
This crew is so bad... regardless of what IGY proclaims. Padilla had walked Utley and Howard, and throw two balls to Werth. The pitch count said 10 balls, and 5 strikes, and the announcer was like "oh well that's inversed.. it should be 10 strikes.." no... it shouldn't.
Quote from: Rome on October 21, 2009, 08:38:39 PM

Pretty sure they were saying that if you're Padilla, it should be reversed if you're playing right. Not that the graphics people got it wrong.
FELIZ Cupleanos
I can friggin hit Hamels' fastball right now--he has absolutely nothing on it....not to mention the top of the dodgers lineup is already honed in on him
but Phils still win 18-16
vote for pedro
lol @ clayton kerfax warming up.
lol @ the ump's animated 3rd strike call on the farging pitcher.
i like the phils' chances in the HR derby

No.. just bad announcers.. just like Chip yelling "the throw to home..." when the ball never left the outfield.
LOL at the shot of Pedro talking to Bruntbeard.
He's like, uhhh, what the farg, dude? No habla...
Yeah because when Werth went blast off, you could see his upside down pitch count on the score board - the 5 strikes and 10 balls were right
pete happy no understand your hip american twang
I think Darling meant the count should be reversed if Padilla was pitching like he should be.
Although who gives a farg, really?

I literally laughed out loud at the umpire ringing Hamels up.
exhuberant calls from any sporting official normally pisses me off, but yeah, i couldn't help but laugh at that one.....mostly because of the situation. btm of the 2nd, no one on, 1 out in a 2 run game. oh, and it's the farging pitcher at the plate and dook is acting like he just called strike 3 on ws game 7 and ted williams was in the box.
how about focusing on having a consistant strike zone a-hole. the umps as a whole have been putrid across the board this postseason and the last thing they need is some cock jockey show boating behind home plate.
nice inning there colbert. not giving up runs is a good thing.
yeah, he did mean if he was pitching right. doesn't matter, hopefully after tonight we get to tune in to joe buck. that should be more awesomer.
He did it again with Grit.
:-D
Padilla's got some nasty stuff. I don't think there is a pitcher in all of baseball who has as much movement on their pitches as Crazy Vicente does.
That was a zesty half inning.
he always was a fargin head case with nasty stuff. the only reason he looks halfway decent now is cuz he needs a payday. he doesn't know where his next bottle of tequila is coming from.

but he got around so nice on that foul right before that. he's warming up to the fast ball finally. according to the tbs crew it sounds like we might be screwed in a couple of games.
Put in Kershaw!
fans on the 3rd base side suck at fielding foul balls.
78 pitches for Colleen! Not good.
Time to end this farger with a crooked number.
pitch count doesn't matter much this game so stfu about it tbs. if cole isn't giving up runs he's going 6 or 7 regardless of pitch count.
Like Darling said, Hamels is getting ahead of the batters but is throwing a lot of pitches to finish it.
Darling would know about not finishing shtein off.
he's throwing good pitches for the most part, both russell and ethier had excellent ab's against him. the problem is that he keeps shaking of ruiz, especially when he gets to 2 strikes in the count and keeps throwing pitches that they can fight off to keep the ab alive.
i want to see a stat that shows who is leading the postseason in grit.
i'd rather him take alot of pitches to retire a batter then give in with 1-2 meatballs right down the plate.
Grit is immeasurable.

most definitely. but at the same time, the more pitches you throw, the more likely you are to make a mistake like in the ethier ab. it's also more pitches that the batter sees and gives him a better shot at seeing your tendencies in certain counts, get a better feel for the movement and velocity, etc, etc. and even if it doesn't pay off that particular at bat, i think it gives the hitter an edge for the next ab. luckily russell martin is not very good and it probably wouldn't help him any if ruiz actually told what pitches were coming.

is it just me, or is it really lame that you get awarded 1st base for hitting the jersey? baseball players are hoyda enough as it is, and now they get a free base because their farging shirt go hurt?
if i was stuck paying stadium prices i might pay it for a guiness without too many tears. blue moon isn't top tier like that IMO.

that was gay.. now he'll break the all time post season record for consecutive games reaching base with a meaningless single in the 8th, if he does it at all.
hamels is really having a hard time putting guys away when he gets to 2 strikes.
but at least he's putting them away.......mostly.

0-2 of his fag foot. c'mon crowd taunt the shtein out of him. $150+ a ticket get your moneys worth.

Shocking dumb farg Manny hangs out in the box
estrogen shot down the 3rd base line. farg you, preg-o!
he can't run anyway. he was limping like a latin king chuggie lookin' essay popped a cap in his ass.
better start a new cycle after the game, get ready for next year
now that hes not a roid monkey anymore his bat speed is so much slower...anything in on his hands he cant handle and they been doing that to him all series...what a perfect pitch
i'm surprised he wasn't unavailable for his at bat due to shower.

Did they remind us yet that he's only 21? I must have missed it when they mentioned it 7,000 times in 4 innings during game 1.
Their pitch track thing is so farging useless.
that was a very generous ball 4. i really farging hate the inconsistancy with the strike zone from the umps all post season.
ball 4 looked like a strike to me but I'll take it
cant believe he threw im a fastball there (pitch before ball four)...and one that choke just missed...hence the hook on the next pitch
HE'S 21 YEARS OLD TOO!!

I still can't believe Pierre hit that thing. He had extra strong Kim Chee for pre-game meal.

if a strikeout ends this game, i wonder how the ump is going to up his game. there might be backflips involved in that call.
i hope he knocks himself the farg out then gets trampled to death under the celebration.

isn't he batting over .350 for the playoffs though? I think he's hurt. I Said that before Mitchy-poo did because he's too gritty for those kinds of errors.
its closer to .250
im just saying btwn chooch steeping up choke on fire...jimmy clutch and werth/victorino homers its like utley is not even there anymore

poor farger has missed this all, and thinks he's the good luck charm
Ryan can never leave the islands. If the birds had won last year we were going to adopt him.
he realizes what he is, we're some superstitious bastiches, and its killing him he's the key in our minds. I'd take a play to stay for a week once a year out in hawaii :)

bad things to this umpire= imminent.
TBS crew is right there, the ump hasnt respected that part of the strike zone all night
insane at bat by blake
And that's about four at-the-knees, at-the-corner pitches teh ump hasn't given Madson this inning.
You just aren't getting it, Ryan. Go somewhere else.
Solid use of cocknocker.

I breezed through them before jumping back in. Like I said, funny stuff after the fact.
I would have been right there with you, though, while it was happening. Apparently, there really was a playoff switch for this team (except, perhaps, for Collette).
I can't believe that wasn't a HR. damn.
gotta catch that shtein
keep your farging hands over the fence you iceholes!
let's go grit.....get on base and give howard a chance to break the record.

just thinking about the phillies playing the yankees gives me chills...thats so surreal and almost not believable to me...its the team they have to play to solidify their legend (if they win of course)...altho it still would be incredible the angels just wont cut it
last year was for the city by ending the drought and i will never forget that but playing tampa bay in that awful two part clinching game was garbage..this year they can make history and go down as one of the best teams in the history of their sport...that just doesnt happen in philly...67 sixers would be the only one...but thats before my time
its likely that for anyone alive right now in the city that they will never see a team like this again in any sport if they beat the yankees
angels would be awesome but yankees would be legend making
Let's Go Angels!

Torre is a real class act. He's giving the Phils some great lip service, and he's really waxing poetic on Charlie.
it's amazing how few talking heads expected the Phils to be back here. At the beginning of the year all we heard was Mets, Cubs, Dodgers, even in this series nearly everyone had the Dodgers.
Now that they've stomped the piss out of the Dodgers and are back in the Fall Classic for the second year running to defend their crown, maybe some of these iceholes will wake up and realize this team is for real.

it kind of should be though. i'm excited as hell but not nearly as much as i was last year when the phils won the nl. it was the first time in 15 years any of us had seen them in the ws and we're so used to watching them fail that just getting there was enough to be excited about. the players had never been there either so they should have been excited about just getting there. and then winning it was farging insane.
so this year the team is sitting exactly where they planned on being since spring training opened. still good to celebrate it but no need to go over the top. there's still work left for them to do.
still, 2 ws appearances in a row is insanely good. win or lose, this team is for real and there's no reason to think they won't remain in serious contention for the next 3-5 years.

That rotation makes the Dodgers rotation look like a farging AAA outfit.

Goddamn right, bitch.
Gimme my respect right now, stillupfront's momz.
yeah, except that hamels looked like ish twice. blanton was ok. happ shtein himself so many times he needs to bleach the skin around his mud nickle to make it white again.
good call on lee and pedro though. who really expected that from 2 cy young winners?

Listening to the goons on Prime Time Dodgers on Fox West still can't over the Dodgers losing. Steve Lyons is such an idiot. All the answers.
Don HO, if your going this year, you have a house about 40 mins from the stadium.

Hopefully they drop a bit...
I thought about going to NYC, but I doubt 460 would even get me close to half of a seat there
only goin up from this point. once the ny people drive up the prices its gonna be in the igy-only area.
i went to a game, did my thing. thats enough. if a face ticket falls in my lap, i take. but otherwise, the place to be is city hall when they win. you need to fly yo ass up to be here for that son.
Hmmm...I have enough FF miles to get a ticket into PHL
Saturday night = Phils game
Sunday morning = Eagles tailgate
Sunday afternoon = Eagles game
Sunday night = fly home
I've got a raging boner
I gotta find a way to do this
fly home during game 4?

Use your connections and get two tickets, Todd....I'll cake you off...not igy style, but enough.
The hard thing with the parade is we don't know when it would be. That makes getting up there on short notice extremely hard.
not the parade, the clinching game. for me the night of >> the parade. that 5 hour stretch was out of control. couldnt even dream of how awesome it is. and that was coming off a zesty world series. beating the yankees would destroy what happened last year, wipe it out like it was a dorky pre show.
my buddy has an 8 block of tickets. i got lucky that 3 of his peoples couldnt go and somehow it got trickled down to me and 2 other buddies. i highly, highly doubt he and his family wont go to the a phils/yanks world series. but, if somehow i got propositioned for the tickets, as much as i love you, i couldnt take you. in fact you have the same chance as munson.
That stings. Cuts me deep. A simple no would have done, but to drop a Munson on me?

it needed to be done. shoot you down hard, cut all ties. perhaps reese/cole could have done, since munson is a real insult considering how off the charts awful in all fazes of humanity he is, but you get the point.
anyway do you gotta do but if im you i try and be in philly for the night of/parade. the sight of seeing some hipster loser try and climb a greased up poll on south broad and miserably fail = the place to be.
I'm gonna see what I can swing.
Especially since my woman won't be back until early November. That's why Halloween weekend is appealing, I can go alone and get crazy
What Todd Jewfag said. farg the parade, being there the night of was the best night of my life. Probably will remain that way until I have kids or until the Eagles win the SB. If they're in a clinching situation Phreak, take a vacation and get up here for as long as it takes to happen.
work in 4 hrs... woooooooooooooo!
lol @ the l'il fella taking the cake from igy.
spend it on strippers, booze and strippers, kid.

yup if anyone wants in im down
and dont listen to the kids j...maybe its because im older and been to frankford and cottman dozens of times over the last 20 years but only a 19 or 20 year old would prefer the night of the win vs the parade....the night of is great but nothing happens that you havent seen a million times before...drunk morons actin a fool...
the parade is on a whole nother level and something you might never witness again...in fact last year i went to the clinching game...the night of celebrations and the parade and the parade was even better than the game for me much less the night of stuff
i have to agree on the night of vs. the parade. it's like comparing chuck roast to prime rib.
im not doubting the awesomeness of the parade, its just the spontaneity and randomness of the night of cannt be toppled. youre not sure whats gonna go down next and its great.
so you like the possibilty of a guy that climbed a street light getting clunked in the head with bottle over the millions of people celebrating a parade.
meh, i love going to frankford and cottman, all 3 times in my lifetime but i like parade that much better. but to each his own. i mean when it comes down to it, can ya really miss on either ?
no sir, you cannot. theyre both off the charts.
if the phils win in walk off/exciting fashion, then the night of will be even more amazing. imagine having the energy of game 4 win carry over to an immediate title celebration. people will be on the verge of death. and there are a lot of stupid white people that we could do without, like munson.
QuoteGonzo: Nothing's better: Phils-Yanks Series
POSTED: October 22, 2009
By John Gonzalez
Inquirer Columnist
The final out of the 2009 National League Championship Series fell harmlessly into Shane Victorino's glove at 11:47 p.m. last night. The Phillies swarmed each other, the crowd went crazy, and the city celebrated another National League championship. It was a familiar sight, but one that never gets old.
From the press box, I could see what appeared to be a father hugging his son. They stood there for a while with their arms around each other and stared at the commotion on the field. Now and then they'd shoot each other a look - wide, silly grins meant to express how lucky they are (how lucky we all are, really) without saying a word. No doubt there were scenes like that unfolding all over town. It's nearly enough to make a grown man cry.
When we're all done drying our eyes, we should probably share the Kleenex with the rest of country. If the New York Times is to be believed, Americans all over this fine land started blubbering when the Phils locked down their second straight World Series appearance. They weren't tears of joy, either.
Recently, NYT sports columnist William Rhoden - as talented a scribbler as anyone out there - predicted baseball lovers would weep into their Wheaties if the Dodgers and Yankees didn't end up playing for the Commissioner's Trophy. He wrote that a Phillies-Yanks clash would be "intriguing" but added that "what Major League Baseball needs is a great World Series, a Series for the ages. And with all due respect. . . it's a Yankees-Dodgers World Series that could take the game back to its roots at a time when baseball desperately needs to recover a portion of the trust, if not the innocence, that it has lost in the steroid era."
Hold on while I gather myself. Mercy. I haven't laughed that hard since I saw the The Nightman Cometh at the Tower.
Two teams lousy with known-steroid users were supposed to restore baseball's "innocence"? I wonder if he penned that with a straight face. That's the same sort of flawed thinking that once led the NYT to write a stunningly obtuse piece that selected Philly as New York's "sixth borough." Don't they have editors at the Times? Surely someone should be charged with the task of reading that rubbish and pointing out how utterly inane it sounds.
I agree with Rhoden on one point, though: Baseball needs a great series. What better way to guarantee that than by pitting the best team in the NL against the best team in the AL (assuming the Yanks finish off the Angels), the defending World Series champs vs. the franchise that's won more titles than any other? What better way to captivate the country than to have two trash-talking cities - separated by 90 miles of bad New Jersey Turnpike pavement - grab for each other's throats in prime time?
There's also the added benefit of knowing a Phils-Yanks Fall Classic is sure to make Mets fans projectile vomit all over their plastic-covered couches. Everyone wins this way.
Besides, I'm not entirely convinced that the rest of the country wanted an L.A.-N.Y. series in the first place. That's a few too many narcissists with fake eyelashes for most people. Think about it in terms of body parts: L.A. vs. N.Y. would be two giant swelled heads. Better to include some shoulders and a large chip to balance things out.
But, hey, if Rhoden is right and people are ticked that the Phils are back in the World Series, too bad. During the lean years Philly had to watch Houston, Atlanta, Florida and all sorts of teams we have no interest in compete for championships. Now it's time for the rest of America to choke down a steaming bowl of these aren't my clubs and I don't care indifference.
Note to the nation: If you sprinkle some sugar on top it's easier to stomach. Enjoy.
Line of the night
Two Spanish reporters joked about Pedro Martinez pitching in the Bronx again: "Hola, Yankees, daddy's home."

Well said
In the eighth inning, the crowd chanted "hit the showers." Brilliant.
Some good stuff in there.

farg Frankford and Cottman....yeah the parade is great and all that but I'll never forget looking down from my friends dorm and seeing thousands of people running to broad street to charge up to city hall. And just walking/jogging down one side of broad street completely shutting it down, having cars drive by on the other side of the road with their windows down high fiving all the people going towards the hall. The riot police that were there just standing and waiting for something to go down was a pretty crazy site too. I'm sure Frankford and Cottman was crazy too but Broad street was backed up from before city hall on the Temple side for as far down as we could see. My only regret is we didn't tailgate at the stadium again after we did for the first part of game 5, I was so pissed when I heard they opened the gates to CBP and let people stream in.
THe parade is probably amazing, but the initial excitement of winning the world series that night can't be matched 4 days later, IMO.

i love igy for his money and his tasty womanly drinks. his sometimes outlandish predictions and opinions are just extra flavor. regardless, you are and always will be a white trash tool that likes profanity on t-shirts, rides a bus to vegas and can't get into an eagles game unless you're wearing a tray with a shoulder strap.
I'm just enjoying the stupid "it's all about what group of people is celebrating" argument. Only a dolt like IGY would care about that. When they win the WS, it's exciting no matter who you are or what age you are....My point is simply that it's hard to match the excitement the night that it happens, 3 or 4 days later.
It's just amazing seeing that many people together high fiving and hugging people they don't know, and shutting down a city street and yes, as Todd said, the spontaneity of it all. Who cares if you're black white brown 20 or 40....Get out there and enjoy one of the best nights in Philly sports history.

Haha Hi I'm Munson we've never met before you have no idea who I am or "how" I am. I don't like profanity on T shirts, I just don't see the point of making someone take off a WFC shirt at a PHILLIES game. Yes, I don't like flying and I got to see a lot of hte country I wouldn't have seen otherwise. Yes, a college student who works to pay for school can't afford to buy Eagles tickets all the time...that being said, it looks like I'll be at the Eagles/Dallas game on the 8th, not sure what section the tickets are in though. Where will you be? We can piss off the standing room only section and see who hits the most people.

for someone who doesn't care what we think, he certainly spends a lot of time trying to convince us that he's really an ok guy.
and trying to convince us he doesn't care
I don't think I've tried to convince anyone of anything. Just pointing out the fallacy of trying to make fun of someone you know nothing about.
Note: It's funnier if it's true. ;)
Sunny if I cared I think I would have stopped posting along time ago oh no no one wikes me on hewre :'(

south philly and the northeast are much better because they are real people from the city who are celebrating a victory for their hometown not for the phillies...they just roll out their front doors with pots and pans and celebrate...unlike a large majority in center city who made up of suburbanites who just wanna say they did it....people who wanna see shtein broke and spike tv fans

IGY, if you knew the amount of drunk college kids there were at the parade I think you'd shut up.
YEs there are idiot douches who wanna break shtein instead of celebrate the win but only someone like you would let that affect them. That was the best part about being in the city that night....there wasn't any of that BS, there were black people hugging white people they didn't know just walking down the stret, latinos and whites riding down broad street hanging out the car windows...One guy with a truck (can't remember what company it was, but it was a small tractor trailer) drove down the road and let everyone climb up on top of it and he just rolled down the road slowly. There were old white 50 somethin bikers at one intersection on the way to city hall just screamin and high fiving all those horrible college kids walking by. There were 40 somethings in their suits and ties screaming and hollering just as loud if not louder than the college kids.
Only you would let something like age or the "types of people" there ruin what should be a great night. Yeah I saw people break some of the flower pots or the red lights on Broad street but that's not what was important. I saw far more Phillies fans then I saw douche bags who just wanted to break shtein.
It was a 25 year drought and an entire generation of people who had never seen a championship before finally getting one. But no, you'd rather chalk it up to them all being douche bags who aren't really fans.
Please, go kill yourself.
the people in center city in large part could have cared less about any drought...they were young ignorant morons like you who know little to nothing about sports...they just wanted to party and be a part of something...the scale is obviously larger but no different than new years eve to most ...and as i said weve all done that a million times in our lives...and theres absolutely nothing wrong with that its just not the scene older heads wanna be a part of
and of course there were drunks at the parade...i was one of them...but tell me how many elders or families were at city hall last year the night of the game...i didnt see any...the parade is for ALL...
city hall after a game is not about love of city or team its about love of self and wanting to tell people you were there and trying to get on youtube...again thats fine....but not where i would ever be again if i get so lucky to have another title
ok, so then we ALL agree that frankford & cottman >>>>>>> center city.
moving back to the subject - what do you guys think the rotation will look like ?

city hall after a game is not about love of city or team its about love of self and wanting to tell people you were there and trying to get on youtube...again thats fine....but not where i would ever be again if i get so lucky to have another title
No, the parade was for the families with little kids and old heads so THEY could say "I took my kid to the parade" or "I was at the parade"...THe parade was like 75% milque toast white families that could afford to take the day off from work and drive from wherever they were to get to Philly....the night of was about anybody and everybody who was around going out and celebrating...White, black, latino, old, young, biker, gangsta, office worker, college student...That was special. Again, only a scumbag like you would let the people around you effect how you enjoy the victory. And I've been in places like that on New Years, it was NOTHING like that.
You are such a farging moron it's sad. The way you think is sad and it makes me sad that we agree on so much shtein politically because I'd like to think I'm not as sorry a human being as you are.
Sean-I don't know if I'm alone in this but at this point I think I'd rather see Pedro in game 2 and Cole in Game 3. Then again Cole might be hurt too much by the home fans if they boo him in game 3.
Blanton needs to be in there somewhere too. He hasn't been spectacular but after Lee he's probably been the most consistent.
If the Phils can get to CC like they did last year, I don't see the other guys on their staff being good enough to beat the Phillies in the WS.
lee's obviously game 1 to pitch him as many times as possible. i think pedro's earned another game 2 start. hamels doesn't need to worry about the NY crowd on top of the fact that he sucks and has a mangina, and keep the L R L in order. so i guess start him in game 3 and blanton in 4. happ did fine against NY in i believe it was his 1st or 2nd start throwing almost nothing but fastballs, so have him ready to roll as long relief.
lee - obvious
pedro - i let him go in yankee stadium i dont know that nicole will be able to handle it whereas pedro knows all about it
nicole
happ/blanton - tough call....theres a lot of yanks that rake blanton...arod and posada both hit over .400 against him and i believe jeter tex are both well over 300....but is happ ready for this kind of stage....happs turns posada and tex to the right side of the plate where they both hit better from but really since they both hit blanton does this even matter...i guess i would go with blanton and have a quick hook with happ waiting in the wings ready to go...i think anyway you look at it the phillies better score a lot of runs in game four
Good god munson is stupid. An all timer as far as I'm concerned.
As for the rotation cole will go in game 2. I want pedro there but chuck is loyal to his bitches.
myers should be put on the roster to DH against CC.
They're going to pitch Cole in game 2. I don't think they should but I'd be shocked if he's not out there.
man-rodriguez and crew have to be salivating watching cole and his dead straight right down the middle 90 mile and hour fastball

happ's first start of the year was against the yanks, wasn't it? i remember him starting a game against them in ny and he pitched fairly well. had it not been for one of lidge's meltdowns, i beleive happ would have won that game.
it's probably a coin flip though. happ had success against the yanks earlier in the year but has looked like ish in the playoffs. blanton has been the most consistant phillies pitcher this year (in terms of opening day roster) and has veteran experience, but the yanks lineup pretty much owns him.
hopefully the angels can extend this series a game or two so that ny can't set their rotation going into game 1.
also, a buddy of mine that's a yanks fan thinks that joba is going to be in the ws starting rotation. um, yes please.
Happ started that FOX game where Mayberry hit a 3-run shot off Pettitte and they thought some fan wearing a Cuba jersey was his dad. f'ing Lidge...
yep, that's the game i'm talking about.
and lidge's regular season don't bother me one bit right now. might have something to do with that 0.00 post season era he's rocking.
i posted earlier that he did fine in what was his like first or second start of the season, but what really impressed me was him throwing almost nothing but fastballs. i think only because he hasn't looked great coming out of the pen is why he doesn't get the start. but should be ready as a long guy since either cole, pedro, or blanton are probably coming out of their respective games early against their line up. i think once he finds a grove, barring it being after giving up a bunch of runs then i think he'll be fine.
my only regret from the parade last year was not meeting up with IGY and giving him a big ol hug after he predictedit would happen at the ATL/Birds game.
I'm going Yankees in 5.
I just can't see the Phils repeating or as much as I love Pedro him outpitching Pettite or CC (assuming he's the one going game 4). Blanton and Happ are okay, but not against the Yankees. As much as I love Lee I can't see him going 2-0 against them.
QuoteWe've got a bunch of nice guys in here,'' one Dodger said. "Those guys over there, they are tough. (Shane) Victorino is a tough SOB. And (Chase) Utley, he drops a knee whenever the runner comes in at second. When Larry Bowa managed those guys he warned (Utley) that guys would get mad if he drops a knee on (baserunners), and Utley told him, "I don't give a ----.''
About the Phillies, Dodgers GM Ned Colletti said, "They're a tough club, not just wins and losses but how they approach the game. They play it hard, and they play it that way all the time. They play with a relentlessness, and they absolutely refuse to be beat.'' Using the Phillies as a measuring stick, the young Dodgers still have a little work to do. One young Dodgers star made it a point before every game to seek out Peter Gammons with the intention of high-fiving him. The Phillies players don't suck up to anyone.
If I wasn't so unbias in my analysis of players I'd say Utley was the best player in baseball. I love stories like this. Top 5 isn't bad though.
shut up calculator boy
IGY, farg off. The South Jerseyans?
You mean those who live 12 minutes from the stadium and live and die for their teams just as much as the South Philly folk?
Farg you. Live in the area your whole life and then pass judgment.
editing to add...season ticket holder with my dad for the Eagles, Flyers and Phillies at different times in his/my life. Never missed a (Sunday) Eagles game until I moved to LA (drove home from NY to Philly in the 8 years I lived in NY...for EVERY Sunday game)
Especially since Philly is kind of a steaming pile of shtein right now. If south jersey didnt share a state with north jersey it'd be an awesome place to live.
This whole argument is gay. Questioning someone's fanhood because of their age is gay. Obviously there are iceholes that just rock the Phillies gear because they want to be part of something... but there are also plenty of college age kids who grew up in/around Philadelphia, following the teams just as passionately as you...
speaking of the fradulent fans...
I saw an ugly North Jersey whore rocking a Phils shirt talking to her friend about how she's really a yankees fan and will be wearing yankees blue this week... I wish we could send all these north jersey pieces of shtein back to their crapwhole of a state and away from our colleges.

82 home games a year probably has something to do with that. you're just not going to fill a stadium with die hards for every home game. sports is very much a part of our social conscience these days and since baseball is a slow paced, more relaxed environment than any other sport so is it really suprising that people go simply for the sake of going instead of intensely following the game? people go to games on first dates. they go for a family day out. they go for a hundred reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with actually watching the game from start to finish. it's been like that for as long as i've been going to baseball games.

All the people IGY's complaining about are exactly the same people who showed up for the parade....the people on their cell phones half the time trying to figure out what they're going to do that night.
Not one person in the crowd the night they won gave a farg about the next day. It was in the moment, and it was awesome.
Both sides are right; the hell are you guys arguing for?
The douchebag quotient is off the charts high. It always is when a team is good. The people who didn't give a shtein four years ago all of a sudden are the biggest Phils fan ever. This was a phenomenon for Cowboys "fans" during their run in the 90's. After the glory run was over, they were nowhere to be found. They reemerged when Parcells came to town and made them somewhat relevant again.

SI.com - Ibanez has an abdominal tear and has been playing with it for most of the year.
QuoteRaul Ibañez was a 36th-round draft pick who took four years to get out of Class A, five years to find a position and 10 years to escape the minor leagues for good. He spent his youth learning to be a catcher and his prime sitting on the bench in Seattle. He was nontendered by the Mariners, designated for assignment twice by the Royals and nearly exiled to the Orix Blue Wave in Japan. After he finally secured his place in the majors, in his late 20s, he played for mediocre teams in small- to middle-sized markets, a fixture only on "most-underrated" lists. So when Ibañez joined the defending-champion Phillies this year, a few months shy of his 37th birthday, he could not bear to waste any more time. He had waited 17 professional seasons for this one.
He batted .312 with 22 home runs in his first 2½ months, a welcome splash of cold water for a team still groggy from a World Series hangover. But by the third week in June, Ibañez was suffering from a sore left groin and, unbeknownst to the public, a small but serious muscle tear near his abdomen. On a trip to Toronto he was confronted with an excruciating decision: He could have surgery to repair the tear and miss a large chunk of time, or he could return after a short stint on the disabled list and play his dream season hurt. "We all asked him if he would have the surgery," Phillies first base coach Davey Lopes says, "and he told everyone, 'I won't do that. I'll do anything but that.'"
After consulting with a neuromuscular specialist in Toronto and a surgeon in Philadelphia, Ibañez chose the DL, followed by aggressive rehabilitation. Every day he drops onto a mat in the Phillies' clubhouse, performs core and hip exercises with trainer Scott Sheridan and then heads for the field. Lopes believes that Ibañez's swing, speed and statistics have suffered because of the injury—he batted just .232 with 12 homers in 72 games after coming off the DL—but his clubhouse cred clearly spiked. "A lot of guys in his position would have said, 'Oh, my God, I'll just have the surgery,'" says Phillies utilityman Greg Dobbs, who played with Ibañez in Seattle. "But he's the type who says, 'You tell me I can't, then I will.'"
The playoffs are a potent pain reliever. After hobbling to the end of the regular season, Ibañez batted .308 with a .471 on-base percentage in the National League Division Series against the Rockies. In Game 1 of the National League Championship Series he hit a three-run homer off Dodgers reliever George Sherrill, the first Sherrill had allowed to a lefthanded hitter all season. After Philadelphia thumped the Dodgers 11--0 on Sunday night, the Phillies led the series 2--1 and Ibañez was experiencing exactly what he saw on television last fall, shortly after which he told Dobbs, "I got goose bumps. I want to be part of that." As for his health, Ibañez insists he has not been limited, regardless of the statistical evidence. "Absolutely I worry about it," says his wife, Tery, "but how do you tell him not to play?"
Ibañez is to baseball what Kurt Warner was to the NFL, a late-blooming talent no one knew how to develop. The Mariners drafted him in 1992 but were unsure whether he was better suited to be a catcher or a first baseman. Neither, it appeared, and he was moved to the outfield, where the club had him sit behind the likes of Rich Amaral, Brian Hunter, Butch Huskey and Stan Javier. When Ibañez did get to play, he wanted so badly to prove himself that he developed an uppercut in his swing and a tendency to pull every pitch he saw. After the Royals signed him as a nonroster invitee in 2001, then general manager Allard Baird told Ibañez, "Raul, I believe you're a better hitter than you do. And that's a problem." The Royals put Ibañez through waivers twice in '01, and both times he went unclaimed by all 29 other teams.
After passing through waivers the second time, in June, Ibañez called former Royals third baseman Kevin Seitzer, who was giving hitting lessons in nearby Overland Park, Kans. Before reporting to Triple A Omaha, Ibañez met with Seitzer, who instructed him to shorten his stroke and try to line every pitch the other way, at the shortstop's head.
The following spring Tony Peña took over as Royals manager, and he told Ibañez, "Just let me know when you get tired." Ibañez replied, "I won't." He got more than 300 at bats for the first time and over the next six years was a .291 hitter who averaged 22 home runs. Meanwhile, the teams for which he played—the Royals (2001 through '03) and the Mariners ('04 through '08)—averaged 91 losses per season. "Even I sometimes lost track of him," says Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez, who knew Ibañez when he was a student at Sunset High in Miami, where Gonzalez was a part-time security guard.
Ibañez was a devalued treasure, same as his father. Juan Ibañez was a college-educated chemist in Castro-ruled Cuba who fled to the U.S. in the late 1960s. He eventually settled in Miami, where he took a job stocking warehouses for Carnival Cruise Lines. Outside of family and friends, few recognized what this overqualified man had to offer. Juan would tell Raul, "Never complain, but believe anything is possible." An avid baseball fan, Juan died of a heart attack in 1992, two months before his son was drafted by the Mariners.
The Phillies seemed to be out of their minds last winter when they signed Ibañez to a three-year contract for $31.5 million, given the bad economy and the fact that he would be 39 when the deal expired. Philadelphia could have kept leftfielder Pat Burrell, who signed a two-year deal for $16 million with the Rays, or made a run at former Phillie Bobby Abreu, who signed a one-year deal for $5 million with the Angels. But Benny Looper, the Phillies' assistant general manager, was a Mariners scout when the team plucked Ibañez out of Miami-Dade Community College. Ibañez reminded Looper of a lefthanded Edgar Martinez, the sweet-swinging former Mariners DH who was just getting warmed up when he hit his 30s. Ibañez used to study Martinez and think, That's how my career is going to go.
To stall his biological clock, Ibañez bought an $18,000 hyperbaric chamber, hired a chiropractor and a masseuse, and employed every physical-therapy technique from joint alignment to muscle activation to Brazilian jujitsu. "Everything he does is as hard core as it gets," says his off-season trainer, Pete Bommarito, who also works out NFL running backs Frank Gore, Marion Barber and Maurice Jones-Drew.
Fans have heard this story line before, about ballplayers who defy the aging process. In June the blog midwestsportsfans.com posted an article about Ibañez that included this passage: "Any aging hitter who puts up numbers this much better than his career average is going to immediately generate su****ion that the numbers are not natural, that perhaps he is under the influence of some sort of performance enhancer." The piece might have faded into cyberspace, but the next day Ibañez told The Philadelphia Inquirer, "You can have my urine, my hair, my blood, my stool—anything you can test." And if he tested positive? "I'll give you back every dime I've ever made."
For Ibañez, just making the blogs represents some sort of progress. After Philly's Game 3 victory on Sunday night, he reflected on his potholed path and laughed uproariously at some of the more difficult moments—.220 seasons, minor league demotions, the close call with Japan. "I'd be lying if I told you I always thought it would work out," Ibañez said, "but this is what you do it for."
Sounds close to the dreaded sports hernia.
Not many on this board older than the Don. I've followed and loved this team since 1971 and have been through some rough times and some great times, more rough than good. Enjoy every minute of this. This is just awesome right now. JRolls winning hit was one of the greatest feelings I've ever had watching the Phils. I am trying to think of a bigger moment other than the two WS wins that can top that. Stairs home run & Vic's grand slam off Sabathia last year come close - two of the greatest "Sit down bitch" statements I've seen. Dykstra was right there in game 5 against Atlanta in 93 when he blasted a homer late. Del Unser in game 5 at Kansas City.

PHILADELPHIA -- The smile of Ryan Howard is unmistakable and not insincere. Just like his Phillies team, there's a wholesomeness to it. Yes, that's the word that was just used. The 'W' word. Instead of what's normally associated with this city, which is the F-bomb.
And for now, at least, there's no trace of that Howard smile being steroid tinged.
"You know, first coming up, this organization was considered to be a losing organization," Howard said. Then he paused, for a moment, to digest that thought. The Phillies were once flat-out stinkified losers. Hard to believe but true.
Now, here they are, early Thursday morning, many moments after winning the NL by beating the Dodgers 10-4, hundreds of fans and many Philly players, celebrated gleefully -- no riots, few jerks -- the toast of a town.
It's only a matter of time before they're the toast of a nation.
Do you know what this World Series will be? It'll be your classic good vs. evil phonies. That's what it is.
The Phillies, after dominating a soulless Dodgers team, are headed to the championship.
"I can't say the Phillies wanted it more than us," Joe Torre said.
I can and they did.
There's more hustle in Steve Phillips' pants than there were in the Dodgers. :-D
Now, the New America's Team, the Phillies, will almost certainly take on the Yankees after New York finishes beating up another Cali fraud, the Angels.
These Phillies are impossible not to like, which makes them the antithesis of the Yankees and instantly a favorite of the country.
Because any team facing the Yankees in the World Series is automatically the nation's darling.
What the Phillies did to the Dodgers is what they've done in each game this postseason, which is play hard and with reckless disregard. They didn't just beat Los Angeles -- they outclassed them, in one of the more dominant NLCS performances of the past few decades.
There's something special about this Phillies club that's partly immeasurable. Words like guts are too clichéd but even for the normally cynical, the Phillies are an enthralling, mesmerizing bunch.
While the Dodgers were all GAM and no game, the Phillies are all substance and no sass.
The 21st century New America's Team, indeed.
The Yankees are formidable (scary good, really) but underestimate the Phillies at your own risk. Their eight or more runs three times in five different games this postseason is historic.
Meanwhile, the only people who can root for the Yankees are bankers and bandwagoners.
The Yankees are corporate. The Phillies are lemonade sold on the corner on a hot summer day. And the lemonade doesn't have any boli in it. :-D
Some of the Yankees, unlike most of the Phillies, are truly hard to take. Nick Swisher is a phony, Alex Rodriguez is still suspect, and Andy Pettitte's aw golly act gets old. CC Sabathia is a terrific guy and Derek Jeter is a credit to all of sports but their levelheaded personalities and decency traits don't outweigh the overall Goldman Sach-ness of the Yankees.
Even the Yankees' celebrity fans are suspect, like the former mayor, Rudy Giuliani. He's worse than Red Sox baseball fan phonies like Ben Affleck.
Philadelphia manager Charlie Manuel is so down home he sweats gravy and his blood type is biscuit. :-D :-D Joe Girardi is an obsessive compulsive tinkerer and putterer. He makes pitching changes while deep in REM sleep. Girardi is more uptight than an Army drill instructor.
The Phillies aren't perfect. Jimmy Rollins sometimes acts like he's Nick Cannon and is a little too slick for his own good, but overall this roster oozes not with known steroid users but with decent, ego-less guys. Anyone who doesn't like Howard should have their chest cavity MRI'd for a heart.
The Phillies are a collective. The Yankees are a collection agency.
Watching the Phillies celebrate both on Monday night and then again on Wednesday after earning a World Series trip was emotional even for those of us who don't care who wins.
That's because the Phillies make you care.
That's what the New America's Team does.

Ah, the days where you'd have to walk around the WHOLE 700 level concourse just to get a drink because only 2 concession stands were open the whole level. LOL
that's your fault for not sneaking something in thus walking around like a lost puppy dog and paying $6 for a drink. 8)
ok I lied...it wasn't the drink I wanted...but some of those fries and a hot dog.
I looooved the fries at the Vet LOL
breaded fries FTL
They were not breaded at the Vet, that's why I liked them.
Breaded fries are disgusting.
yes they were at least at the regular concession stands...maybe what you got was a different kind and sold at a specialized stand or something
aramark is gross. beyond gross, actually.
true and that's another way the eagles failed. thankfully the phillies didn't follow suit.
I never had breaded fries at the Vet. At least not in the 700 level. Aramark is too cheap for breaded fries. But right out of the fryer...they were AWESOME.

The Phils are considering adding Myers to the WS roster. Maybe then his wife will finally give him action again.

QuoteThough Burrell is gone from the roster, his presence persists in the Phillies clubhouse. At least three players, Werth, catcher Carlos Ruiz and reserve Greg Dobbs, have small posters of Burrell hung at their lockers and speak glowingly of the impact he had.
he probably got them so much Hoyda
I can't even bear to watch NY fans celebrate. Its stomach churning.
Bring on the suits!
Come on down, Yankees. You won't be facing a team that throws bunts halfway to Yonkers.
so glad the yankees won. phils wont get the true respect they deserve until they whip that ass
Whip those overpaid asses, Phils.
ARod and Texiera and Burnett and Sabathia...farg your mothers.
God it'd be sweet if the Phils can put an asswhoopin on this team.
farg THE YANKEES
Just like that, the whole country is behind the Phillies.
Gonna be epic no matter the result. This is fun kids. This is farging fun.
it's so on.
Opening odds on the series:
Yanks -200
Phils +170
The yanks are going to win. I just feel it and it's gonna suck.
Hell of a season either way though.
SHUT UP HATER.
I'm just worried about who is going to start game 2.

You are such a tool.
it's a shame jay-z is such a new yorker because i'd love for that to be the phillies anthem this series...
QuoteNEW YORK (AP) — The New York Yankees have been blasting Jay-Z's "Empire State of Mind" during their playoff run. Now, the team is having the rap king perform the song live to kick off Game 1 of the World Series.
Jay-Z and fellow New Yorker Alicia Keys are set to perform the hit on Wednesday, as the Yankees take on defending World Series champs, the Philadelphia Phillies.
In an interview Monday, Jay-Z was excited about the performance, and said: "Thank the good Lord for making me a Yankee."
He calls the opportunity a "once in a lifetime experience."
Its all good...the Phillies will just trot Hall and Oates out there again. Or the drunkard Bobby Rydell. Or Patti and her 46 minute rendition of the national anthem!
if the phils were to run anyone out there it should be the roots. here i come
theyre to busy on jimmy fallons show. seriously.
i'm still mad about that.
$ be $. Hell I'd write for a munson family paper at this point
If you're going to write for a living you might want to learn the difference between "to" and "too" first.
Literacy is overrated, especially with the current generation of functional illiterates we've produced, but still, editors are notorious sticklers for spelling and grammar.
Just sayin'...
i no the dif nig i jus aint be tryin to grammer it up on teh bored cause it aint be meanin nothin nig you know

Maybe the phanatic will beat the hell out of kanye west instead of a yankee fan.

Some tool posted this on facebook... it's getting some radio play on wired 96.5
The only thing worse than Philly stations playing Jay Z's song while we play the Yankees in the WS is the fact that other stations are playing lame versions like this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9L9_8vwx2w8
Can that be our song?
Personally I think the phillies should come out to the opening of Fresh Prince but thats just me.

Pedro in game 2, Cole in game 3 ....Charlie said it on 1210 this morning
jimmy was on jay leno via satellite last night. jay had 10 questions for him. most of it was lame, but there were a few funny ones thrown in there:
q: who is the best switch hitter ever? a. mickey mantle, b. pete rose, c. elton john
jimmy answered c
q: who on the phils has the weirdest pre-game supersticion?
a. shane victorino has these balance crystals that he keeps in a little blue bag tied around his neck and before he takes the field he sprays something in the air to activate them.
q: who wins the world series?
a. if we're nice, we'll let it go to 6. but phillies in 5.

chan ho is so pimp its not even funny.
Anyone think the decision to go Pedro for game 2 will hurt little Cole's fragile mind?
who gives a shtein? if he can't man up in front of the home crowd and pitch well, then he definitely can't do it in ny. so farg him and whatever he thinks until he grows a set.
i love charlie's caps, he looks like my grandfather
charlie looks awesome
pedros hair looks like its in a thick hair net

QuotePa. woman charged with offering sex for WS tickets
The Associated Press
BENSALEM, Pa. - Police in a Philadelphia suburb they've arrested a woman who offered sex for World Series tickets.
Bensalem police say 43-year-old Susan Finkelstein was arrested on Tuesday.
Investigators say Finkelstein posted an ad on the Web site Craigslist that stated she was a die-hard Phillies fan and buxom blonde in desperate need of two World Series tickets.
Police say her posting went on to say the price was negotiable and that "I'm the creative type! Maybe we can help each other!"
An undercover officer responded to the ad. Police say Finkelstein offered to perform various sex acts in exchange for World Series tickets.
She is charged with prostitution and related offenses. Her listed phone number was disconnected, and it couldn't immediately be determined if she had an attorney.
,,,
finkelstein? so not only is she too cheap to buy her own tickets, but she would probably just lay there while getting shagged too.
does the po po really have nothing better to do than go undercover in order to bust some trashy middle aged skank that just wants to go to a phillies game?
finkelstein? jew? nice.

and she wanted WS ticket(s).. like more then 1? i might let her watch it on my black and white portable in my dungeon basement, and she has to give up the chocolate cheerio.
myers on roster, cairo off
Was Meyers brought in to DH against Sabathia?
interesting stat of the day
sabathia had thrown 253 innings entering his start vs the phillies last year
he has thrown 252 2/3 ip going into tomorrows start
The decision to go with Pedro is very good. The setting is perfect. He has the attitude to pitch in Yankee Stadium and you know he'll deliver a solid start. The atmosphere is gonna be awesome. You know the fans there will have the "whose your daddy" chant going on.
I doubt Hamels will care one way or the other. He's probably looking at magazine cover offers or some other crap.

They showed an interview with him on CSN and he said something to the effect of "No not at all" (after being asked if he was hurt by the decision/it effected him at all) and "Cliff has been great and Pedro looked real good in his last start and has a history with the Yankees" etc
I think Hamels is well aware of who is performing and who isn't, and he has no one to bitch at but himself.

proud sponsor of red bull.
it gives you wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiings!
I don't like Pedro going game 2.
Yankee stadium is a joke and Pedro isn't exactly a strikeout pitcher anymore.
Are you trying to start to trouble?
If by start trouble you mean state my opinion then, yes.
I wouldn't feel much better about Hamels, but the chance he is going to dominate even the Yankees is always there. There is no chance in hell Pedro dominates the Yankees and if he can go six and give up 3 runs it would be a miracle. I just don't see the upside to this.
You have to be the only one who wants that vagina Hamels pitching. He's been farging awful and the second something doesn't go right he'll get his labia all sandy all that's it.
I get the feeling you elect to go with the "un" popular opinion so you can make yourself look smarter if it comes true. If it doesn't, then your validated by the fact that the Phillies won. Basically you're a crappy person and you know less about baseball than reese/cole. Notice how I'm not going as far as Munson. I respect you just enough cause we go way back, buddy.
You just described igy, but its okay for him to do it because he occasionally gives you the backhanded validation you desperately need.
Right now everything I post is as inherently irrational as your posts normally are because in a 7 game series between two fairly evenly matched teams being sure of something, anything, one way or the other is retarded.
I just don't have a good feeling about it. I have no problem with being wrong about any of this. There is nothing backing it up. When there is data backing up my conclusions it shows because 9/10 I will be right.
If someone argues with me and make mildly coherent points I might even change my mind. I'm fickle like that.
Pedro is a big game pitcher. That is his environment and he'll feed off of those scumbag NYers.
I cant farging wait until this series gets going.
I'm tired of waiting. Seeing them blast CC would give me wood.
I think Werth has a big game.
If Utley can start to come around he could have one of the biggest world series ever.
Short porches get raped by Utley, if I didn't know any better I'd say he was aiming for them.

You didn't have a 'good feeling' about the dodgers series either and that thing was over after the 5th inning of game 1. they might lose game 1, sure. but theyll rip aj burnett a part in game 2.
and what the farg is so good about the yankees lineup?
jeter and his singles scare me. oooo dont hit 1 single a game derek you man whore.
johnny damon is really good, good power, hits to both fields, great glove oh wait its not 2004 anymore.
tex has been useless in the playoffs, is soft, and is an ultimately above average hitter. yes he can field, great.
arod....gonna have to figure the other shoe will drop and he wont come through in the big spot. not that hes "unclutch," but that hes had numerous big hits so far and the law of averages dictates that hes got to fail. well, he fails a few times, everyone will start ripping him, and thatll be it for him.
matsui and his giant collection of porn? oh no!
posada? solid, sure. but hes not gonna win them any games.
cano? swisher? melky? they wash out whoever our dh is, feliz and ruiz.
the clear advantage the yankees have is rivera. hes a legend and a complete master. odds are you arent getting to him. but thats 1 inning, maybe 2. that you can deal with.
And on the flip side Rollins and feliz had bad years and chooch can't keep hitting like this.
I actually feel good about getting to Rivera. What you don't think this team can do, they usually do.
both stadiums are bandboxes. so having pedro start game 2 against the yankees in the postseason when he has done exactly that before, in front of a hostile crowd is exactly what should be done. the situation for pedro alone should have him amped up and might even get a little more out of that old arm. will he mow them down like the dodgers? no. will he give them a chance to win? absolutely. in what could be his last start in the post season.. or even ever, i don't think there's going to be any let down. also we had an old guy in the rotation last year, why mess with success.
anyways god forbid they come back home down 0-2 they have cole as the stopper going in front of the home crowd to try and get them rolling on what will need to be a 3 game home sweep. if he doesn't come through the series is over anyway.

i get jimmy trying to bunt for a hit but i really don't get damon doing the same. easy out though, so i'll go with it.
farging lee looks sharp.
So far in this game, CC isn't worthy to lick Cliff's taint.
CLIFF LEE!!
NICE job by Lee.
I can't shake the feeling that the Phils had their best chance with C.C. in the first inning, though. Hopefully they can remain patient and make him pitch to them.

the phils have been pretty patient at the plate the entire post season (sans feliz and his first pitch swinging ass) and i have no doubt that if they continue that, they will have success against him tonight.

Do you have a feeling that homer Feliz hit in game 5 against the Dodgers may be the last hit he gets this post season? Every at bat looks so weak.

nah, i'm sure he'll dumb himself into a hit one way or the other. but he is what he is.....a defensive 3rd basemen. so as long as he plays strong d then i can somewhat tolerate his offensive short comings.
And so the bitching returns. that didn't take long

Cliff Lee is on too. Showing CC what the fargs up
"Jerek Leter" with the double.
Ok Lee...shut it down. Get Geico guy out
With the way the Phils offense is, I don't care if Pete Happy goes 0-fer as long as he continues to flash the leather at 3rd

How did the Phillies score first in the 2008 WS?
PHILLIES 1ST: Rollins flied to right; Werth walked; the Rays
used an exaggerated shift in the infield for Utley and
Howard; Utley homered [Werth scored]; Utley homers in his
first World Series at bat; Howard grounded out (second to
first); Burrell was called out on strikes; 2 R, 1 H, 0 E, 0 LOB.
Phillies 2, Devil Rays 0.

2nd question: why do I know that but not FOX? Maybe that fun factoid got buried under the stack of papers about Kate Hudson.
To be fair, it is hard for Joe Buck to find those tidbits without getting up from Jeter's groin.
I never expect anything positive at the plate from Pedro and I'm fine with it, especially when the other 8 can hit like they do.
At least Feliz isn't David Bell. I do wonder, though, if Placido Polanco ever regrets not being willing to play third for the Phils?

good question. i doubt it. dook was one of my favorite phillies at the time and is still one of my favorite players. would have loved to see him stay but can't really blame him for wanting out either. phils were an average team at the time.

that spike curve ball is farging sick. watching chooch's glove follow it from high/outside to low and in is rediculous.

lee's definitely going to have to go the distance tonight because eventhough the pen has been pretty good this postseason, i really don't want to see them in a 1 run game. and i definitely don't want to see ryan madson.

The way Lee is pitching, one could be enough. I'd really rather not test that theory, though.

3-0. Rollins has already won.
Rollins has Hughes rattled a bit.
Where was that pitch? I think Posada is getting up too quick, trying to get Rollins.
wtg jimmy!
and vic gives one back swinging at ball 4.
That 3-0 pitch was high. And, of course, he swings at the same pitch at 3-1.
Vic might swing at one in the dirt here. C'mon.

Please Cholly, send Lee out to pitch the 9th.
cmon how can you take him out... if youre a reliever not only are you in the world series in yankee stadium, youve got to follow a performance like that and whatever you do will be measured against it. dont over-think this decision... ride the invincible pitcher and win a world series game. the yanks have firepower coming up and a few more pitches wont kill lee
so what do you want?
3 or 4 more runs on the board with madson in the 9th
- or -
quick inning and get lee back on the mound to finish it off
because you know if this is a long inning and the phils put more on the board, lee isn't coming back out.
no worry, Madsons gonna mow their ass down.

yeah, they need to work on getting on base/hitting w/risp earlier in the game. but if you have a chance to score, gotta keep swinging.
at this point, i'd still send lee out. i don't know if cholly will, but i would. and once he's done, as previously mentioned, i'd let him penetrate poop chute.

With the Phils winning Game One, I'm actually feeling good about Pedro pitching Game Two. He's a great frontrunning pitcher, and will take delight in shuting up the Yankee fans.
Also, I think Howard and Ibanez will get much better passes against Burnett (if he's not fully on). They just need to stay patient, like they were tonight.

Now, just do it three more times. Preferably, in the next three games.
Lefties to hit home runs against CC in Yankee Stadium this season:
Chase Utley, World Series Game 1, 3rd inning
Chase Utley, World Series Game 1, 6th inning
ESPN just rolled out some kind of stat like... Lee was the first to pitch a complete game, double-digit strikeout, no-walk World Series game since the first World Series in 1903

Season's over. Time to move on.
I'm fairly certain tomorrow Pedro is gonna get touched up a bit and Burnett is either going to shut us out or we are going to destroy him with no middle ground.
GO UTLEY.
I'm fairly certain nothing you say ever comes true.
At the worst Pedro keeps them in the game. He will not get lit up.

he's just playing a friendly game of catch with God. no biggie.
between that catch, his behind the back grab, and the way he pitched, just off the charts in terms of games i've seen. Olney is saying probably back end of top 10 games ever pitched in the WS, not bad.
the fake yawn is what makes it great.

At least in my case - I've said before that I love the showboating, but only after he scores. When he slows up, its stupid.

and those are the "years worth of College tuition" seats. farging NY Frontrunners
it amazed me how the "greatest fanbase" in all of sports filed out of that stadium when it went to 4-0. ::)
and how they weren't loud at all except when it was 2 strikes and 2 outs.
those fans are just tho thuper duper.
Dear Chase,
I feel like I can call you Chase because you and me are so much alike. I would love to meet you some day. It would be great to have a catch. I know I can't throw as fast as you, but I think you would be impressed with my speed. I love your hair. You run fast. Do you have a good relationship with your father? Me neither. These are all things we can talk about and more. I know you have not been getting my letters because I know you would write back if you did, and I hope you write back this time and we get to be good friends. I am sure our relationship would be a real home run.

QuoteNEW YORK -- The only thing hotter than Chase Utley's bat right now is that Crisco oil stuff in his hair.
The Phillies are apparently undaunted and unafraid either of the Yankees or extravagant hair care products.
Chase the Ace, in one of the more dominant World Series performances of the last few years, walked in the first inning and then hit two booming home runs in a 6-1 win over New York in Game 1. He's reached safely in each of his last 26 postseason games, an all-time record. He passed Boog Powell who had a 25-game postseason streak from 1966-1971.
He became only the second left-handed batter in World Series history to hit two homers off a lefty pitcher in one game since Babe Ruth in 1928. Babe Freaking Ruth.
Utley also set the record for the amount of Soul Glo in a person's hair. :-D (http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/4571/7845soulglor.gif)
Utley's dominance embodied the Phillies who, on yet another foul weather night here, again showed their sea legs in the Game 1 victory. They demonstrated something that remains a hardcore truth but seems to still be largely forgotten by too many people: There isn't a tougher team in baseball than the Phillies.
There wasn't last year, there wasn't this season and because of that swagger-licious, wholesomely arrogant and unparalleled ability to collapse the trachea of an opponent -- even one as storied as the Yankees -- the Phillies have taken control of this series.
The Phillies even took control of the fans. Utley said Yankees fans were rowdy towards the Philadelphia players until he hit those homers. Then the stadium, filled with 50,207 people, mostly became quiet. Then something else happened.
"... During near the end of the game," Utley said, "I noticed some people left."
The front-runners bolted.
For anyone who really knows baseball, Philadelphia's victory isn't shocking. This is what the Phillies do. They don't give a damn. Meet them in the back alley, bring your boys and your knives, or your pennants, and they'll Muay Thai dropkick you.
Or drown you in hair gel.
This is what the Phillies do.
World Series videos
The Yankees? Their new stadium? Their celebrities? All those rings? All those titles? His Phoniness, Rudy Giuliani, in attendance? The Phillies don't care.
This is what the Phillies do.
The Phillies aren't just like an American League team. They're just like an NFC East team.
It's a noticeable contrast to the uptight nature of the Yankees and their controlling manager Joe Girardi, whose jockstraps seem to get tighter as the situation gets closer.
Yet another scene that illustrated Philadelphia's toughness wasn't solely Utley's production as it was Cliff Lee. Smoking the Yankees all game, Lee casually caught a Johnny Damon pop-up in the sixth, almost half heartedly, drawing a chuckle from his teammates.
Later, Lee caught a one-hopper off Jorge Posada, and then casually ran Posada down, patting him on the butt with the baseball, doing so like it was a spring training game instead of the World Series. He added another beauty in the eighth when he caught a ground ball behind his back.
Philadelphia's Charlie Manuel, the team's manager, continually laughed it up in the dugout like he was watching Larry the Cable Guy at a comedy club.
It was a Philly yuck fest.
"I liked the one behind his back," Manuel said. "The pop-up he tried to pull a Willie Mays."
None of these things were a display of arrogance or disrespect by Philadelphia. It's just the Phillies. This is what they do.
They ... don't ... give ... a damn.
World Series? So what.
"It's been a long time since I've been nervous playing this game," Lee said.
The same statement could be made about the entire Phillies team.
Predators don't get nervous.
Again, their win isn't a surprise. They've been tolerably cocky for some time and it's worked well for them. Jimmy Rollins, before the 2007 season, predicted the Phillies would win the pennant over the Mets. He was right. Last year Rollins said his team would win 100 games. They snagged 103. This year he Nostradamused a Yankees and Phillies World Series. That one worked out, too.
On TV the other night he said the Phillies would win in five games. If the Phillies win the second contest, Rollins might be right about that, too.
Because this is what the Phillies do.
No one should be stunned any longer.
No way, Pedro wins in the Soul Glo category.
yeah, i thought he jumped the gun by a day
also its la looks, not soul glo. not that utley looks good or anything, well, he does, he is hot and stuff. but he looks better sans the gel, like after a game. though from what i hear he gets royally pissed off when girls wont lick his nuts at the bar. wonder if jen knows. she probably does.
how does anyone know he had gel in his hair and it wasn't WET FROM ALL OF THE RAIN.
oh also, he probably got sweaty from running around all those bases last night. makes the hair greasy.
He runs fast
19.5 mil for the game, highest game 1 numbers since 04
if this goes back to ny, they can easily get past the 30 mil mark and maybe hit 40. if bud selig is anything like david stern, bet heavily on the yanks tonight. me thinks pedro is gonna get squeezed. i mean, mlb really needs good numbers and a classic world series. really badly. like a classic 7 gamer. really badly.
I have this feeling that Pedro is going to thrive in that environment tonight.
Or maybe it's the Jason's Deli I ate for lunch; but either way I've got a feeling
ive got a feeling mlb can make close a mil for a 30 second spot in game 6 or 7 and they want that. so much so that dick bavetta will ump behind home plate tonight.
i dont really listen to Van Pelt often on espn radio, but he was so money today.

That Philly fans are savages, but its a good thing. That Pedro is what baseball is about, that the phillies are so cool and calm and everyone overlooked them. NY Fans are soft. Lee is a god, Utley is now rocking the Gordon Gecko hairdo.
utleys in game hair has looked like that for five years...why is it a topic of discussion now?
yeah i don't get it either.
Because its the first time sincr 93 that anyone outside of philly has watched a phils game

out with the flu
thats not good as it leaves them with only one left handed bat (lol bako) on the bench
I can't imagine they are going to waste a lefty on that part of the order anyway.
most likely it just limits them from pinch hitting dobbs for feliz if the situation called for it. right now youd probably have to go with fransisco there. and im not sure how much of an advantage dobbs vs. a rh is over fransisco vs. a rh. slightly? dobbs is hurt and has kind of blown this year.
will matter more come saturday.
all 10 people in yankee's stadium are enjoying Jay Z
Beat the Jankees
looks like good burnett might have shown up tonight. gotta stay patient and make him keep throwing strikes. he'll come undone soon enough.
let's go pedro!
how much have they ruined Empire State of Mind, its on all the farging time in that stadium. At least i hear "Only in Philly" in my head everytime
How much of a Hoyda am I that after two strikeouts all I'm thinking is this is going to be all a long night for Pedro.

as long as he's pitching well and is pitching with the lead, he's going to keep throwing until his arm falls off tonight.
beautiful farging catch!
Nice Chad Lewis impression by Ibanez.
The Phils' OF defense comes through again.
Chooch and the top of the order. Hopefully the Willie Mays Hayes twins can start figuring out Burnett the second time around.
yeah, with lee on the mound last night i was ok with a 1 and 2 run lead. with pedro, especially with as many pitches as he's thrown tonight, i'd really like to see a few more runs on the board early in the game.
Had to listen to the first and top of the second on the radio. Jon Miller's ok. Not as great as he used to be. Joe Morgan had me contemplating driving into oncoming traffic on several occasions.
wtf? very uncharacteristic for chooch to be swinging at the first pitch. i guess since burnett has opened up everyone with a fastball chooch thought he could get hold of one.

Burnett's pretty much grooved a first-pitch fastball every batter the first time through. I'm sure he'll change it up now.
Apparently Rollins has learned nothing.
burnett is on fire with these first pitch strikes so far. harder to be patient and work the count when he's throwing a lot of first and 2nd pitch strikes.

Make him pay here Choke.
nothing more adorable than spending a few G's so your family can enjoy halloween at Yankee Stadium.
Burnett has definitely hit that glitch in his peformance. Cerrano needs to take advantage.
Mark it, at 9:04 PM EST Joe Buck made his first idiotic comment.
farg!!
farg. Could have stepped on their throats just now.
farg you, Ja'boo.
howard back in mid-season form.
Choke blew it on that first pitch he fouled off. :boom :boom
Missed opportunities. Remember this one, it will probably hurt them big tonight.
Won't matter. Games already won.
pedro already up to 43 pitches. burnett at 61.
HA. You could hear Buck hoping with the Yankee fans on that one.
Pedro needs a quick inning here. 1-2-3 gets rid of Jeter.

they do, but with the way this team can score runs in bunches, 1 inning of stranding a risp is ok with me, especially when it's with 2 outs. if they're doing it with risp and less than 2 outs, then it's a little more concerning.
ish, come on pedro.
Burnett's MO is one big blow-up per game. He managed to get through that one unscathed.
And dammit, Pedro can't be walking freaking Molins in front of Jeter. :boom
wtf was that sign? said "the house that jeter built." i get that part of it, i just don't get what those stupid farging scribbles were? was it supposed to be a house or something? what a terrible farging sign. i hope they get raped in the subway.

I'm still laughing at Buck and the crowd getting so excited about the fly ball. Yes, it was fairly deep, but no threat at all to go out. Just look at Vic and you can see that.
Burnett trying to diversify, and is not nearly as sharp.
burnett is coming undone. murderdeathkill him now you sonsabitches!
nice 2 strike swing by werth.....very similar to his ab against street in the nlds
Nice start by Werthless. See if Raul can get around a fast one. Maybe Werth steals second?
Back to first pitch fastball. That was the one to hit, dammit.
werth def needs to try and swipe one here. burnett is already throwing over to check him and he can be run on.
dumb
What the hell, Werth. Way to get their crown back into it.
Wasted inning. Werth looked wasted.
only took 12 pitches for burnett to get out that one.

Gee, didn't see that coming. 1-0 wasn't going to hold to long tonight.

Sorry Pedro but it looks like your offense didn't get their wake up call this morning. Hang in there baby.
So much for my good feeling after Game one. Hang in there, idiots.
farg, settle down pedro.
Oh lord.
Five innings for Pedro, tops. The meat of the order will not be allowed to see him a third time.
I am shocked everytime they show a ball hit to the OF, any part of it, this stadium looks like a cracker box.

I'm calling a home run for Feliz.
They just tie it up and the corporate HQs sounds like the Christian Science Reading Room at the end of the inning!

He knows it'll be a fastball. His only chance for a hit is the fastball. The Pedro knows this.
Now HOW and WHY was that not a home run? This farging park is a joke.
damn, chooch just missed that one. double works though. come on jimmy!
You can't stop the Chooch!

Don't worry. Rollins returned the gift.

Seriously? what in the HELL!

I love how Vic looks all stunned when he takes the most pathetic swing and the ball goes straight up and doesn't leave the infileld. Mike this up assole.
Unbelievably they are still in the game. Yankees offense has been just as bad tonight. Wonder who wakes up first.

This should be his last inning though, 3rd time around.
Get this ugly mtha fuca out.
No matter what, Damon is Pedro's last batter.

if that was infact his last batter, and i'm sure it was, solid outting by pedro. probably a little unrealistic to expect another performance like in la. 5 innings, 3 hit, 1 run and 6k is a solid performance. he'd be leaving with the lead if the the phils would show a little patience at the plate.
grit swinging for the fences on that one.
Burnett seems to be dealing again. Damn.

It was a very good performance -- better than i expected and i pretty much expected him to be fine. the offense isn't doing their job.
Burnett has looked impressive as has Pedro.
C'mon Choke! Wake us up.
Sure, Choke, take the slow curve over the middle of the plate. Then swing at the sharp one at your feet.

I don't think we're winning this one boys.
and you can hear a Lets go Pedro Chant!!
how bad do yankee fans hate a-rod right now
Not so nice, Pedro.
shtein. should have dropped a few more nukes in WWII
No Biggie, 2-1 is all good.
Pearl Harbor.
Remember the Alamo!
Gadzuki scraped it over that short RF foul line.

I think Charlie gives him one more shot.
I think the Phils have only won one Game 2 in the playoffs over the last two seasons. Traditionally this seems to be the game that they give up. At this point I might not mind seeing Rivera out there for a change of pace because Burnett is throwing that nasty hook on the outside corner and the Phils just can't get to it.

the odds have been real bad all around since hirohito launched that homer. tough break because pedro has been fine
If Hamels comes out against this Yankees lineup like he's been doing, he might be gone in the first inning. I cringe thinking about it.
McCarver is like 0 for 15 on predictions this series. Just shut the farg up.
Bye bye Pedro.
how many times has mccarver predicted something in this game, only to be proven wrong seconds later
Ruh Roh
haha beat me to the observation
just an awful decision to bring him back out for the 7th
One too many times to the well, Cholly.
Took him out too early against LA, keeping him in too long tonight.
Much Love for Pedro, Nice job and a big FARG YOU to the offense WTF man step the farg up for a brother!
Come on fans you can do it, put the chant together, maybe not :-D Pedro lovin it. :-D
Game over.
This stadium is filled with the worst fans in the country...
You could hear a pindrop all night in a 1-0, then a 1-1 game. farging jokes.
That's gotta eat at Pedro. Was his last chance. Can't hate on Charlie for running him out. Dude had deserved it.
This game is pretty much over at this point, unless lightning strikes twice. Rivera is farging automatic in the playoffs. Now have to worry have Cole the Vadge potentially handing the Yanks another one. farg, the thought makes me ill.
now you know why Charlie waited :boom
Just realize the odds of a comeback were quite bleak even before this inning. It's unlikely that the decision to keep Pedro in the 7th actually cost them the game. Pretty much sealed the deal though.
Deep Breath, it's all good.
farg rivera
McCarver Sucks btw, "unitentional"? how the farg do you know that Tim?

Money, UNC takes out VT in their house!

or not...LOL AROD

Very impressed by Burnett.
It was strange to see Yankees fans still in their seats in the ninth..
now it's up to the vagina monologues to put the phils back on top.

Good for us... monk predicting 7 and 2 runs means Cole will go complete game shut out.
how about suicide? switch it up to that.
also they got a split in ny. burnett pitched well. they had 1 shot to score runs and it didnt happen. oh well. theyll take at least 2/3 in philly, then its back to ny if need be. this was always gonna be a series. you have to be able to accept failure in baseball, its a part of the game. especially when you have two fairly evenly matched teams.
I have a bad feeling about Game 3. The Yankees aren't the Dodgers or the Rays. Nor is Hamels the Hamels we saw last year.
All I know is the offense better show the hell up.
the yankees have scored 4 runs in two games. they have 1 good relief pitcher. joe girardi in an nl ballpark with a pitcher who wont make it into the 7th inning. whats not to like, besides nicole?
Cole struck out Jeter, Arod, and Giambi in a row in their roid monkeying prime before he was even a ML pitcher in spring training 4 or 5 years ago.
If we lose this series because Cole doesn't show up, so be it, but I think he will.
I agree with you Todd, it all comes down to Hamels and if he's ripped the tampon out or not yet.
Problems I had with tonight:
1. Offense adjusting to Burnett. He was slinging that hook up there and nary a one decided to look for it. They hacked their asses crazy. Some of those swings weren't near misses, they were missing by a good six inches.
2. Rollins and Victorino not going to stay out of the DP when Grits McUtley was up. That was their shot and they blew it there.
3. Letting Burnett settle down. They had him on the ropes a few times.
Basically all on the O tonight. I'm not worried about them being focused or ready (except for Hamels).
I think the Phils will be fine against Rivera. They were working him. With the exception of Stairs (like we were expecting something from him) and those farging horrible calls during Utley's and Howards at bats they hung with this guy.

I'm gonna go ahead and tack game 4 as a loss and there's no way they win the last 3 games of this series.
stop
the phillies "got to" rivera as much as a ton of teams "got to" lidge last year. he didn't buzzsaw through everyone but he gave up 0 runs and got the save nonetheless. dude isn't impossible to hit off of, but he's as clutch as they come.

I'm gonna go ahead and tack game 4 as a loss and there's no way they win the last 3 games of this series.
It's tied 1-1, get the farg off the ledge. WTF is wrong with you man? hopefully the bats wake up, we can light up any starter and we know we can get to the Bull pen. Fargin A relax.
I'm not on any ledge, but there's about a 90% chance whoever wins Saturday wins the series.
Well 11/12 teams that won game 1, won the world series... so shut the farg up please
Screw you guys I'm goin home :P
Halloween's going to literally be a nightmare. I feel sorry for the kids who come to the door during the late innings.
Batten down the hatches, Don. Leave a bowl of candy on the doorstep.
With Hamels pitching I may leave a bowl of broken glass.
Just heard Pedro's press conference. Says he was "sick" the past few days. ???? Says he felt fine and fresh but did get winded out there. Kept saying he was sick. So WTF?
I thought he pitched very well through 6 innings. His numbers were not that far off Burnett.
Just got a text from my bud who was at the game. Said the crowd at Yankee Stadium is a joke. Not that into it. "Who's your daddy" chant was pathetic. Crowd seemed nervous.

I think the Phils have only won one Game 2 in the playoffs over the last two seasons. Traditionally this seems to be the game that they give up.
Good point:
2 - 5 in game twos 07 - 09
07 lost G2 NLDS Rockies
08 won G2 NLDS Brewers
08 won G2 NLCS Doyers
08 lost G2 WS Rays
09 lost G2 NLDS Rockies
09 lost G2 NLCS Doyers
09 lost G2 WS
phils were always gonna lose games 2 and 3...at full strength the yankee pitching is much better
to win the series they had to win the opener and then they have to basically win all the games where they either face gaudin and/or the yankee starters on three days rest
They're not losing tomorrow. No farging way. This series ends in five with a goddamn parade down Broad Street next week. If anyone has a problem with that, I will kick your farging ass. Twice even.

Wait, what are the pitching matchups for the next few games?
Is Blanton for sure pitching?
I think Cole has a good game tomorrow. Just a feeling.
it doesnt really matter if fatty goes or not...if the phillies cant knock around a gaudin or a sabathia on short rest after 100 plus pitches then they arent winning the series anyway...nor do they deserve it
after tomorrows game this title rest solely on the shoulders of the phillies offense
I have no doubt the bats come out without fail.
The game last night...Burnett pitched out of his mind. That ball had sickening movement to it and he got that high/outside strike call all night long.
Verducci with some sun, and some clouds:
Quote1. Unless you were Jimmy Rollins, you had to believe that this World Series was going to be a long one, as closely matched as are the Yankees and Phillies. So while Philadelphia lost Game 2, 3-1, to a stellar pitching effort by Yankees starter A.J. Burnett, they scored a small triumph that may pay dividends as the series is extended: they chipped away at the seemingly indestructible nature of Mariano Rivera.
New York manager Joe Girardi made the wise move to put a 3-1 lead into the hands of Rivera for the final six outs. As Rivera said after Game 2, "You can't expect after [the loss] yesterday just to wait to throw just one inning."
But the Phillies made Rivera labor like almost never happens. He threw 39 pitches for those six outs. It was the most pitches he has thrown in a game in two years. Of the 74 times Rivera has pitched in the postseason since he became a closer, he has thrown more than 39 pitches only two times, and both were in potential clinchers: the epic 48-pitch outing in 2003 ALCS Game 7, and the 40 pitches in the Yankees' ill-fated 2004 ALCS Game 4.
Remember, Rivera, who turns 40 next month, threw 34 pitches his last time out, four days prior, against the Angels. He does have an off today, but, barring rain, the next three games are scheduled to be played on consecutive days.
What made the outing so laborious for Rivera was that he could not put away hitters. The Phillies swung 20 times at his cutter and missed only twice. There were 13 foul balls. Raul Ibanez scorched a double. Good grief, Rivera actually walked one guy, too. That's four walks for him this postseason -- the most for him in any postseason since he started closing. He could not blow up bats on the inside corner of the left-handed hitters.
"He threw more outside cutters to left-handers than he ever does," Philadelphia DH Matt Stairs said.
Rivera is so good that it has come to this: he throws two shutout innings and the opponent can find hope in his pitch counts and their swings against him. Asked how he felt, standing in front of his locker with an ice pack on his shoulder, Rivera said, "A save is a save, period. My arm feels great."
2. Game 2 will not go into the Charlie Manuel highlight reel. It's not that he made poor decisions, but that his key decisions blew up, especially two of them.
The first move was leaving Pedro Martinez in the game in the seventh inning, down 2-1. You know you're seeing Rivera the next inning, so keeping the deficit at one is paramount. Manuel sent Martinez back for the seventh with 99 pitches. It wasn't a terrible move, but Martinez should have been batter-to-batter at that point, especially because he revealed after the game that he has been weakened by flu-like symptoms recently, losing sleep and his appetite.
Martinez jumped ahead of Jerry Hairston 0-and-2, but could not put him away with any of his next four pitches. Hairston dropped a single into right field.
Now was the time to get Martinez. To ask him to work through an entire inning without a run scoring -- with a runner at first and no outs and at 105 pitches -- was hopeful more than smart. He hung a changeup that Melky Cabrera rapped to right field for a single. It was then that Manuel pulled Martinez, and then the Yankees, of course, given two runners and no outs, added a huge tack-on run.
3. The second key move that didn't work for Manuel was not starting his runners with a full count on Chase Utley in the eighth inning. Rollins was at second and Shane Victorino was at first. Rivera was pitching with one out.
If Manuel started his runners, he ran the risk of a strikeout-caught stealing double play, though to be honest, the Yankees were not holding Rollins especially close. It's more important in that situation, up 3-1, for the infielders not to concede ground and give the hitter a hole than it is to shadow a runner at second who is not even the tying run.
If Manuel didn't start his runners, he ran the risk of Utley grounding into a double play to kill the inning.
"Utley don't hit into a lot of groundball double plays," Manuel said.
Utley grounded into five double plays this year, none this postseason. Of course, he promptly grounded into a double play.
It's funny how managers play very conservatively when Rivera is pitching. Runners are so rare against him that it fries the circuits of managers; they don't dare even risk losing an out on the bases when they get so few runners. He's not especially great at holding runners, either; he never uses the slide step. Since Rivera became a closer in 1997, runners have attempted only five stolen bases against him in the postseason. They have been successful in three of their past four tries, including a rather large one in 2004 by that Dave Roberts fellow in Boston.
Manuel's next big move will be what to do about Cliff Lee, his ace. The Phillies will have to figure out in the next 36 hours, based on his side work, whether to pitch Lee on short rest for the first time in his career in Game 4 Sunday. The result of Game 3 should not matter; either Lee is physically capable of taking the ball Sunday or he is not.
Right now Manuel has the hottest pitcher on the planet. He should think long and hard about putting the ball in Lee's hands as often as he can.
4. The Phillies have some major trouble at the bottom of their batting order. Pedro Feliz and, to a lesser extent, Carlos Ruiz are providing Yankee pitchers with automatic bailout innings, like National League baseball circa 1968, because of the poor quality of their at-bats. Feliz has made eight outs in seven plate appearances on just 19 pitches. Ruiz, though he does have two doubles, has made five outs while seeing only 21 pitches in his seven trips to the plate. For those of you scoring at home, that's 13 outs in 14 plate appearances while seeing just 40 pitches. It's the equivalent of a coffee break for pitchers.
With Feliz and Ruiz going out too quickly in back-to-back spots in the lineup, that's too much of a built-in breather for the pitcher. Just wait for the games in Philadelphia this weekend: the pitcher's spot will follow Feliz and Ruiz.
5. Those were some funky swings Alex Rodriguez took in Games 1 and 2 in the World Series, looking nothing like the compact, balanced strokes he took in the ALDS and ALCS. His swing was at times lengthened and at times became very defensive, more of swatting for the ball or feeling for it than taking a quick path to it. It's almost as if he's a shooter in basketball whose stroke gets tighter with each miss; he needs something to go down to restore confidence.
In two games Rodriguez has swung at 23 pitches and put two balls in play: a grounder to third and a flyball to left field. He punched out three times in Game 1 and three times again in Game 2. Only one other player ever had back-to-back three-strikeout games in World Series history: Jim Lonborg. A pitcher. In 1967. It's not the kind of World Series history Rodriguez had in mind. He waited his whole career to get to the World Series, and when he got here, he immediately became the first hitter, other than a pitcher with a .136 career average, to whiff three times in two straight World Series games.
1. Pedro Feliz is just awful. I almost gunned a remote twice last night when he was batting. No option either, you have to trot him out there.
2. Thank god A-Roid has gone in the tank. He looks about as bad as Pedro up there.
3. Cole Hamels is going to blow in Game 3. It's all he has done in the postseason. To expect anything different is stupid. You gotta hope though.
bottoms of the order vs tops of the rotation in the world series are supposed to be bad
we as phils fans notice the phils bottom more so we tend to over scrutinize
7-8-9 hitters thus far
phils

yanks

not sure what pissed me off more, watching 1st pitch after another not being swung at or ageeing with mccarver TWICE !
game 1- philly (44.5), ny (29.7)
game 2- philly (42.5), ny (29.8)
thats around 2.5-3 mil for philly, 6-7 mil for ny.
how were the 1st games overall ?
19.5 for game 1
18.9 for game 2
game 3 will be low but the FAVRE FAVRE FAVRE lead in, no sunday night football and fact that its the most watched tv night of the week should sent game 4 to 25 mil range.
no Clifford...Blanton gets the nod for game 4.

Apparently Lee has never pitched on short rest in his major league career.
game 5 is a win with cliff on normal rest.
he has 2 days off then can give you whatever he has in the tank for game 7. works.
Instead of Jay Z maybe we'll get the Villanova Bball team to do Thriller before game 3. Empire State this.

yeah lee was never going in game 4
basically yanks wanna win the next two with cc going game four then they will sacrifice gaudin against lee in game 5 and take their chances in 6 and 7 with a fully rested petitte and aj
phils are in trouble
i hate you so much.
To me, it all depends on Hamels in Game 3. If he can be any semblance of last year's ace, the Phils should be in good shape. If not, they're in big trouble.
Quote from: MDS on October 30, 2009, 04:31:35 PM

gotta beat cc on short rest....this whole series will really come down to that game
i give them a good chance because i think girardi left him in for way to many pitches on wed if he wants him to pitch well on short time
that said i still am not very confident in a cc blanton matchup...blanton is going to get raped by the yanks lineup
hamels - pettite - yanks win up 2-1
cc - fatty - yanks win up 3-1
gaudin - lee - phils win down 3-2
aj - pedro - yanks win series 4-2

lol hamels isnt a questionmark..we all know hes done...the questionmark is cc on short rest...is he like he was the other night and with the brewers down the stretch last year...or is he like he was in the playoffs last year...nobody knows and thats where the series lays
thats what i love about everyone talking about how many pitches lee had. He has 3 more pitches i think than CC. Sure it was longer, but he was just on.

whose been talking about lees pitch count?...i havent heard anyone...its a non issue cause he isnt going on short rest
cc is a horse, hell be fine.
the thing you guys are missing is girardi. he is due for a major farg up in 3 or 4. has to happen. he was awful in game 1 and in the angels series. in an nl park he will farg up things. hell, he could bring aj back on short rest in game 5.
this thing is probably going back to ny 3-2 phils. difference is if they can get to mo like they got to broxton. if they can steal the yanks W in philly like they did to LA, then we good.
nationally dook
you do know that girardi (who im not saying is a great manager) is a better manager than charlie?
and what horrible timing to come out and give the phils a game or two because of the manager match up when we are less than 24 hours from charlie making two brutal decisions
yea charlie did make 2 bad calls but thats really the first time he cost them. girardi will play musical chairs with his relievers, forget to double switch, not have pinch hitters set up, etc. something that will cost them. and then the ny media and fans will blow their heads off.
this thing aint goin back to ny 3-2 yanks. one farging game they lose and sgt. igy is giving up. remember last week it is oh my god hiroki kuroda is so good this thing is over. you farging dolt.
lol @ comparing the dodgers and yankees
lol @ your sky is falling routine
never said that...in fact i picked the phils over the dodgers...youre getting confused because youre slummin and 100 bucks is a lot of money to you...so you think because i bet you a couple bucks that the phils are gonna lose that means i think they are gonna lose
so lemme straighten you out for the last time
I WANT TO LOSE WHEN I BET AGAINST MY TEAMS AND I DO IT SO IF THEY LOSE AT LEAST I WIN SOME MONEY AND THERE IS NO CORRELATION BTWN WHO I BET ON AND WHO I THINK IS GOING TO WIN
i know what you do son
but you pull this same stunt every year. pretty sure we dig up old posts of you pickin the rays to win last year. dont know if a defense mechanism or you just crazy. but never the less, you always seem to expect and somewhat hope the worst to happen. like you get a sick enjoyment out of it. but this team aint grandpa havas phillies. they aint papa havas phillies. they aint even your phillies. they the new phillies. and they aint losin to no scrub ass yankees. book it dookie.
It's not like your betting a thousand dollars or more on the Dodgers.. you're betting 50... so if the Phillies lose.. you make a whooping 50.... incredible.

Its supposed to pour all night tonight.
You think Bud postpones the game or follows his idiocy of last year and "tries to get it in"?
Bud Selig is a cockass of epic proportions. Of course he tries to get it in.
at this point, i'm willing to sacrifice a cole start in order to rain out pettite. sad but true
Quote from: PhillyGirl on October 31, 2009, 07:57:54 AM

you should root for him to get it in
a rain out allows the yanks to not have to use gaudin AND their big three go on regular rest in games 3-4-5
no rain most likely means cc on short rest sunday and a gaudin-lee matchup on monday
ill take the second scenario any day
in other words GET HER IN BUD
short term helps the yanks, long term helps the phils
if it goes back to ny they have guadin for game 6 and pettitte on short rest for 7
girardi didnt move up cc for game 6 on full rest, went with pettitte. chances are he sticks to that. so no matter what andy in game 3, fatty cc in game 4.
the yankees would never pitch chad gaudin in a game 6 or 7 of the ws
it would be petitte on short rest game 6
cc short rest game 7
and yes petitte is game three no matter what...but with a rain out it means cc and burnett on full rest games four and five...with no rain out its short rest cc and gaudin
and no way if the phils are down 2-1 do they go fatty vs a full rest cc in game four...and if they did charlie gets fired as soon as he announces it...or at least over ruled
bottom line is pray this game gets played
a rain out would get rid of the off day, skip
so cc in game 4 on monday = 2 days of rest for game 7 thursday
and bring on burnett at the bank. no way he does that to them a second time.
and yes, lee pitches on monday no matter what.
they have announced that it would definitely get rid of the off day?...i didnt hear that...
it would certainly change things...but they dont usually do that in the world series because there are no other series that are affected by how long it takes
yea thats what theyve done in the past
i highly, highly doubt mlb and fox want to put a potential game 7 on friday unless forced. thursday = most profitable night for ad revenue. also much, much higher viewership. so, that.
not only would the cc thing help, but it would force girardi to limit his use of rivera if 5 games in a row looms. have to hold him for just an inning.
a rain out wouldnt be the worst thing in the world, really. you get another cc/lee full rest match in game 4. you get another shot at a mental midget like burnett, on the road in a bandbox. you get pedro well rested for game 6 or even game 5 if charlie wants it.
not awful, though i am quite pumped for a game tonight.
i cant imagine that its an as you go decision....whatever the call is it has to be pre determined in the rules...to decide right then and there by looking at the best night to have games on tv would be a joke
lol based on tv
THE ENTIRE SPORTS WORLD IS BASED ON TV SON
bud will cite not wanting to go deeper into november bla bla bla as the reason to skip the travel day if its rained out, but they set the ENTIRE fargING SCHEDULE from day 1 of spring training around having a game 7 on a thursday night.
theres no chance its decided on the fly...i will guarantee you its a set rule of whether the off day is abolished or not
yea, its a set rule. there is no extra off day.
with the snow out against the rockies they were gonna go sun game 3, mon game 4 and tue game 5. same deal here, dooks.

dobbsy back
weather.com says rain hits around 700
Seriously no one has mentioned hamels being sick at all. Where did that come from?
from another board, supposedly something on philly.com said yesterday he was feeling under the weather
just heard that arod went up to the 15th floor of the four seasons with a girl who was not kate hudson
speculate!
MDS' little sister.
Happy Halloween, here's hoping Cole Hamels dresses up as 2008 Cole Hamels
I think they are going to tee off on Pettitte
then it should be right on par with what the yanks are doing to vagina face.

Like that pitch. :boom
well the outcome of this series is bleak if those iceholes don't start remembering how to play the farging game. both striking out at pitches that were never in the strike zone. good thing we didn't have to see werth blow out his back and do a 1080 at the plate swinging at one of those this inning.
i'm starting to wish the cleveland show was back on.
lololololololololololololololololol
hahhaa
too much pine tar
Whille I like the thought, I hope that doesn't come back to bite the Phils in the ass.
at least grit didn't try to force the turn.
with feliz basically swinging a whiffle ball bat at the plate, he needs to be pretty much flawless in the field.
I love how after 329823479823478 Pettitte borderline pickoffs to first base, McCarver goes off for five minutes because of one by Hamels.
so now feliz can't hit or field well. he the awesome.

He's better than average in the field. He's got some of the best range I've ever seen, and a good arm. If he had a shred of intelligence, he'd be an incredible outfielder. As is, he is very good.

we're not getting through this without him mentioning favre. already talked about him in one of the other games too.
yeah, were both basically calling him a mental midget.
anyways, does anyone else think there should be more then 3 runs on the board against this guy? bottom of the order coming up this inning but in the 5th they need to tack on a few more and get into that bullpen.

absolutely. bases loaded < 2 outs and the phils got 2 runs out of it. victorino's ab really set things in motion for petite to get out of that with minimal damage. swinging at the first 2 pitches out of the zone after he'd been struggling with location, had walked 2 batters that inning, including the guy batting in front of him.
shtein, it's going to be a home run.
this will be a homerun. who still likes replay?
Ha - watch this.
Home run.
like anyone really thought only 3 runs would be enough. way to let em off the hook guys with the biggest bitch on the roster on the mound guys.
farg
unfargingbelievable.
Dawgs turn next.
cool, and that "ball 4" on tex now looms large.
Let's see how vagina boy reacts.
Absolute load of farging bullshtein.
The bitch of it is, that was an awful looking swing. A-Roid got damn lucky on that all the way around.

cole being on the mound period is not a good sign.
he will no longer be anything close to what he was in 2008. he's permafarged in his head.
dumb ass strikes again.. he slides with his glove UP LOL.. well the momentum has shifted monumentally. it was a good year. i never want to see hamels again. and i'm not kidding. trade him for something.
someone should have been warming up the instant hoyda face gave up an rbi single to pettite
i hope a-rod blasts a 3 run shot so i can turn this garbage off. the more i stare at that Hoyda cole the more i can actually feel the vein in my forehead popping out more.
farg you cole I hope your new born son grows up fatherless cause I hope you get aids AND DIE

COME ON OFFENSE!
The Yankees had timed up his fastball. The point is that Cole has no third pitch, and was out glitzing it up when he should have been working on it non-stop in the preseason. The Damon and Jeter hits came on the fastball. Then A-Rod hit the HR off one his fastballs. Then Cole's vadge acted up, and in came that god-awful, loping, plate smothering curveball.
had petite on the ropes through the first 3 innings. he threw a lot of pitches and the phils were getting to him and since leaving the bases loaded, they have given this game right back to them. farging a-holes.
nice farging popup dickhead
This sucks. :boom
Faith factor right now is 0.
Howard is gone, they've got Cliff Lee, and Pedro who is probably spent. For the first time this postseason, it doesn't seem like the Phils have any fight. Blanton vs. CC? I think they are down 3-1 after tomorrow.
Grits McGreaseball isn't hitting
Choke isn't hitting
Vic is going up there hacking from his goddamn heels.
Cole got sand in his vadge and imploded
Way to farg up the night, fargbags.
Step it up.
cool weak contact from the power of the lineup.. maybe sometime in like the 15th or 16th inning they'll have seen enough pitches to become productive.
what's sad is they basically did the same shtein in the series last year.. timely hitting from the bottom of the lineup and the ineptitude of the rays is really what made it happen last year.

you are correct sir
lolz @ feliz
come on chooch. gotta at least get on to clear the pitcher spot
worst ever.
whats up with teen wolf in the on deck circle?
.171 ? really Charlie?
BRUNTLETT? Why not just let the pitcher hit.
obviously the stupidity has come directly from the manager.
make that .163 :boom
why is bruntlett on this team again?
he looks like the crazy brother in Hangover.
people that need to be off the team:

The Beard is worthless.
All solo HRs hit because none of these clowns can get on base. And when they do get people on base, they get stranded there.
Butt Chin threw 51 pitches through 2 innings. And they LET HIM OFF THE HOOK!
2 inningas vs the bullpen ftw
Ass Face has faced Grits, Choke and Ibanez nine times with 6 farging K's. Is that right?

here's how the bottom of the 8th will go
howard will k

feliz will just grab his glove and take the field telling the pitcher "why bother?"
then the yanks will get the run back in the top of the 9th.

I have a list of a few Phis I'd like to see you take out.
if i aim for yankees fans i can hit any of them and not have to worry about it. if i aim for phillies i have to worry about the 3 that actually matter. we'll see though, that list might dwindle down before the end of tomorrows game.
i know their down 4 runs and no one gives a shtein by why is pedro feliz even allowed to pick up a bat.
To little way to late,
Love these blasts with no one on base.

what a joke. i love what stairs did in la last year but he really doesn't have any business still being on this team either. it's pretty much all or nothing with him and when you're down by 3 with 1 out left, a (potential) solo hr doesn't really do much for you.

The 2003 Marlins were down 2-1 at home to the Yankees too, so there's that... :-\
Through 3 games:
Rollins = 2-10, RBI, 4 BB, K
Victorino = 2-11, 2 RBI, BB, K
Utley if you take away those 2 HRs = 0-9, 2 BB, 3 K

Those numbers just made me vomit. I don't think I have ever been as pissed off at a loss as I am now. They have a goddamn 3 run lead! And the gaping vagina Hamels let them right back in the game.
No plate discipline. None! For a team that supposedly prides itself in taking pitches and working pitchers and all that mumbo jumbo horse shtein.
farg.
Hamels is the definition of bitchmade.
Gets jacked on that call to Texeiererrerera and he folded. It was all downhill after that. He should get killed by the media, fans and teammates for being such a soft batch loser.
shut the farg up charlie you bumbling idiot. he can pitch 3 innings.. why can't he pitch more? cuz he's a flash in the pan and hasn't done it all year moron.
Hopefully Joe Blanton has the ability to throw the game of his life tomorrow night.

http://media.photobucket.com/image/joe%20blanton/BostonFaninMichigan/joeblantonrookiehazing.jpg
wants to know why Cole is throwing a damn curveball to Pettitte and throwing it down the middle to Damon
says the fans were scared and sitting on their hands while Yankee fans took over
says A-Rod's HR was thanks to FOX, and Charlie said in the postgame conference that the umps told him before the game that even though the camera is hanging over the fence into the field of play, it'll still be counted as a HR if something hits it
Daulton says Cole is finished and shouldn't pitch again, but Charlie says he'd use him in game 7
who the farg is ricky bo?
arod's homer was legit. lol @ saying it was thanks to fox. the only thing fox did wrong was have their camera hanging over the fence but it didn't make a bit of difference.

You give up 8 farging runs its your farging pitching.
Balls just weren't falling tonight. Utley, Ibanez, and Victorino all crushed all ball tonight that either went to the worst part of the park or was just at someone.
I had a bad angle, but i'm pretty sure where Utley's went in right by the bullpen would have been a double or a homerun in most parks ironically.
Manuel's decisions tonight with the bullpen were horrid and if Hamels isn't hurt there is a decent chance he is just a mental midget. Basically a left handed white equivalent of Vicente Padilla. Awesome.

Yea, but the a few of the ones they did hit were crushed and were right at people. It happens. Just like the Yankees had about 1 hundred cagillion bloop hits tonight. It doesn't change the outcome, but you have to put it in perspective.
And I'm not sure how many K's they had tonight, but I'm guessing Howard had half the amount or at least close to it right? I just got home.

is there is a bigger gash in the world than cole hamels
a pitcher got a hit off of nicole and he folded up shop....and that was the game...i already called games two and three to the yanks (lord knows i caked off like a mother farger)...but cc goes down tomorrow nite
I am so glad I didn't see that Hamels press conference. Trade this spineless Hoyda to San Diego. We can get some talent from the Padres. After watching Lee pitch like a farging cyborg the past three weeks I hope I never see Hamels again. His comments the past two weeks are sickening. What's his ERA now?
Agree with Bottalico as far as the crowd goes. They checked out pretty quick and to let those Yankee fans out cheer/chant them in the late innings was a disgrace.
the yankees fans "hey hey hey ya good bye....ect..." that took over the whole stadium was the worst and most embarrsing chant i have ever heard in all my sports...i wanted to say something to all the retards in this thread that have been ripping yankee fans for the last three days but i held off until now...FYI idiots the yankee fans that are in the new stadium have nothing to do with the yankee fans that took over the bank tonight
farg it. let the players worry about it. they should feel the heat from the crowd for being a bunch of Hoydas. if that's yankees fans doing it cuz the phillies fans that are there are mainly rich deusches that only go for the novelty, then so be it. either way they should be getting ripped for the showing they've put forth so far. the only ones that get a pass is lee and maybe werth. in the fans defense though, there wasn't much to cheer about and i'm sure got just as deflated as we all did. i didn't really feel like doing anything except going bottoms up with my beer and kicking shtein never mind cheering.
also, wtf were they cheering about when hamels was walking off the field.. it could be his performance. sarge suggested it was the pitching change.. i guess, but wow wake the farg up if they were cheering vagina face.
Stop blaming the farging fans for checking out.

other than maybe t.o., i don't think there's been anyone else who went from hero to zero faster than cole hamels.
It still boggles my mind. The yankees scored 8 runs. That loss is on Cole and the trash that followed.
that loss is just as much on hamels as it is the offense imo. hamels queefed all over the field but bullpen served up a couple homeruns as well and the offense failed to produce over and over and over. game 1 is the only game grit has done anything noteworthy at the plate this entire postseason. howard's been booty in the ws, but at least dook was rolling through the lds and lcs. rual has been crap, feliz has been crap, vicotrino, blah blah blah.
i knew that game was farged when they couldn't get score more than 2 runs with the bases loaded and less than 2 outs.
the offense was more or less okay
really cant expect to win a game when cole was as bad as he was. the bullpen blows, we all know this. how the farg can you blame them.
Yeah Werth blasted two homers and even Chooch smacked one....they should have won the game, but the pitching cost them.
the offense cost them in both losses.. the pitching in only one.
cole's atrocious.
realistically when the other team scores 8 runs youre going to lose 99% of the time. its just a ridiculous expectation to think you can score 9 runs in a game.
this is a silly conversation. cole lost the game for them and the bullpen took any hope of a comeback away. end of story.

Prediction:
Phillies 7
9/11's 2

not even over if they lose
burnett going in game 5
that means guadin/pet tits on short rest
fat ass game 7
BRING IT OSAMA BRINT IT
Yeah if we lose tonight I'll bet you the largest amount of money you could possibly lose and still be able to survive and my first born child (I know how big you guys are on that) that the Yankees would win and I'd give you 100 to 1 odds.
Let's goooooooooooooo Phils!!!!!!!!!!!
Why waste these drillings on ARod? Needed to drill Manny. Between the eyes.
Maybe Vic will lean into a Sabathia fastball and get him ejected.
Stellar start.
Warning issued because Roid got plunked again
COME ON BLANTON!
Ugly start.
Wonderful... spot them 2 runs.
It's nice for the Yankees to have their home announcing team tonight.
Oh, wait...
yankees are just a better team...the sooner yous realize this the better off youll be
this def aint the devil rays this year
Redemption. Good job Chase.
Oh god, Chokes up.
That was a mean ass pitch
im feeling strikeout

howard is going to set the ws k record in 2 less games.
Howard is farging useless.

you and 99.99% of the free world.
he is awful right now.
i'm walking werth to get to ibanez if i'm cc. or at least pitching around the plate

They're with the Yankees, jackass.
If you're gonna run your mouth the whole game about how great the Yankees are and how the Phillies suck, do us a favor and get the farg out.
lol @ this
big nuts and fat ass both made 1 bad pitch
its cost joey 2, cc 1
choke is off the charts when he goes bad. and hes going real bad now.
Thank god next year Michael Taylor will be up so we don't have to watch Ibanez be overmatched against lefties.

i dont even know what that means but the fact is the yankee fans took over a whole section of a stadium in the friggin world series...thats just unheard of
it wasnt a whole section, it was 3 rows
and it might be the friends and family section. easy way to coordinate that stuff.
My god! Look at how big Sabathia looks at the plate! Jesus.
good inning.
No it means that they are connected with the team somehow. There's no way that many people in the same section sold all their tickets.

blanton got a generous strike 3 call there......which makes up for the atrocious ball 3 call on the pitch before it.

I sacrificed several trick-or-treaters last night. Threw um' into a volcano.
did you get their candy first?
These are some REALLY high strikes this guy is calling.
Great inning!
with every passing inning, these guys just seem to get tighter and tighter at the plate.
What's funny is these umpires are supposed to be the best MLB has to offer yet they're completely atrocious.

And lets not all get crazy yet. They can and will hit Sabathia.
Utley just swung at the ball that was called a strike on the pitch before.
This ump is just all over for both teams.

If he just sucked I wouldn't care as much. It's the fact he makes those Hoyda-laden comments in his post games.
i think that this ump is drunk
WTF is Posada upset about? THAT was an actual strike. Not the one up in Vic's adam's apple.
And now Posada's at it with the umpire.
SMRT.
Wow Blanton.
I'm actually impressed with the fat guy so far.

Whatever, the Yankees didn't do their due diligence and tag him anyway.
My point is, lose the Phreak imitation and have a little faith in the defending World Champs.
at least they got the tying run across. lol at intentionally walking chooch. he puts the fear of gawd in peoples

Now if someone can give JRoll some smelling salts in the dugout....................
negativity on the interwebs will affect this game. so cheer up. NOW! dicks.
:paranoid
lol @ the choke hate
it was a physical improbability for him not to touch the plate. amazing that it happened. and it didnt matter, with posada dropping the ball if the ump doesnt make a call he can easily touch home. he wouldve been out on a good throw, of course. but you cant blame sending him, even if out. had to take the chance and it worked. plus now the lineup is turned over.
Nice job fat boy.
Wait WHAT?
That wasn't a strike?
THis guy is a complete joke.
ump has been awful both ways, quit bitchin
grit :boom
really chase?
Another fielding brain fart from these idiots.

He was trying to make something happen.
He wouldn't have had a play anywhere if he switched to his hand with that much momentum going to left.
turn 2 and get out of this crap

just get this half inning over with and move on to the top of the order....

farging clowns...
We can't pitch against the bottom of their order and now we get into this mess... two nights in a row.
man, that jeter really sucks. he's only batting a shade under .500
gotta be kidding me.

i really thought feliz had a shot at jeters single, at least to knock it down and keep it in the infield. maybe im wrong, im not a third baseman. but it didnt look that far away from him.

they are getting beat by what so far has been a superior team

they haven't choked the whole thing away yet, but they definitely choked away game 2 and they aren't doing themselves any favors tonight either.
they can score a bunch in a hurry though and i'm hoping for that, but holy farg, how long until utley/howard/ibanez make an appearance in this series?
Good get Rivera ready. I'd love for the bums to tatoo his ass.
how the farg do you keep walking that scrub swisher
and he's dancing around the plate with a guy named melky
C'mon Joe.

You do realize Utley has been to the plate three times tonight and hit a double and had an RBI in one of them right? It's still baseball. No matter how much more you WANT them to get a hit doesn't change anything.

game 2 wasnt really a choke. they had a chance or two and probably couldve handled some things better but it wasnt an in the bag win. even if everything works out they have a 1 run lead in the ninth for lidge. tell me thats in the bag.
and yes, the middle of the order has been absent save for utley in game 1. odds wise you have to figure theyll get some hits but time is running out. ultimately the series may be on them.

ibanez has the ugliest looking strikeouts ever.
to a certain extent mikey is right, but to another extent you just gotta get it done. farg the numbers.

that's what i'm getting at. it's a 7 game series at most so the stats from the previos 182+ really don't mean ish. you can go into a slump during the season and not have it affect the big picture because there's so much time for the numbers to even themselves out. come world series time you either do, or you don't. right now the phils have a lineup full of don'ts.
wtf francisco? you come in off the bench and swing at the first pitch. farging brilliant. i guess it doesn't matter which idiot's playing in left.
what possible expectations could you have for the bottom of the order? they all suck.
the series more or less comes down to the 7th. got to get something going.
Quote from: MDS on November 01, 2009, 10:33:33 PM

i don't expect much but i do expect them to at least take a couple pitches and try to work the count....something that chooch does fairly well most of the time. and when a pinch hitter comes in and swings at the first pitch, that's farging infuriating.
that guy sitting in the front row behind homeplate just off to the left kind of looks like hef about 15 years ago.
The AB's in the 5th when Rollins and Victorino were on base were goddamn AWFUL.
Raul Ibanez? fargING AWFUL.
Their approach at the plate angers me almost as much as the Yankees little bloop shots landing in every spot on the farging field.
Top of the line up in the bottom of the 7th and cockface Girardi is trying his all to avoid anyone in the BP not names Rivera....can they please string together three or four solid ABs?!?!
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OFFENSE YOU MOTHERfargS
who would have ever thought that howard would have a better series with his glove than his bat?
ibanez has been beyong lost, yes.
otherwise id say cc has just been filthy in those spots against uts and choke with risp. just locked in and nasty, especially left-left. not much you can, especially for choke who by his nature swings big and isnt up there to slap balls into holes.

it's amazing to me watching baseball on tv today compared to 15 or 20 years ago. when they would show a slomo replay of a checkswing it was just a big blur and you really couldn't tell where the bat stopped. now you can almost read the letters on the bat during replay.

farging joke. That was just disgusting. We were all waiting for the Lidge/BP meltdown. Merry Christmas sports fans.
I have no doubt that Lee will pitch well tomorrow. I just wouldn't be surprised if they give him no run support and he loses 1-0. I don't care how resilent this team is, that was essentially a knock out blow I think.

Yankees proved to be a much more "clutch" team than the Phillies. Every time the Phils answered the Yankees one-upped them. It's not that the Phillies are "shooting themselves in the foot," the Yankees are just a better all-around team.

Let's assume Lee is solid and they scratch out a win. Who pitches Game 6 for NYY? Pettitte?
And then CC in 7 again?
Tonight was painful. I don't think I have felt this terrible since the SB loss.
Oh, and farg you Ruiz for not holding onto the foul tip
Its over. Its time to emotionally seperate yourself from it.
This team finally realized they play in Philadelphia.. lucky for us it was a year too late and we got to see a WS win.

Yes. I dont care. He should have dug a tunnel and reached down to catch it.
Yes we all "hope" but no way. It is so over. This would have been a huge win and we were about to see a 7 game battle royal.
Here's to a Curt Schilling type performance from Lee tomorrow.
Ever since Game 1 this team has played uninspired baseball. No scratching out base hits. Looking absolutely silly with runners in scoring position. The pitching has been less than stellar. For the first time over the past two post seasons I don't believe that THEY believe they can win.
I hope I'm wrong, but unless Howard stops looking silly up there and the top of the order gets on base and puts on pressure through the run game, then I don't see how this is going to end well.
Damon had two strikes for about an hour. all farg yous should be aimed at lidge. he blew it.

Quick someone get little timmy in the clubhouse and inspire their asses!
Utley and Feliz are the only hitters who showed up today, but damnit farging Lidge.
^^^^What Z said. Howard looks like he does when he's in the middle of one of his slumps...like he's trying to force it, front him bailing too early, trying to pull everything, etc.
Raul, injured or not, looks like shtein at the plate. Victorino hasn't done much all WS either.
All that being said, 2 out of the 3 losses are on the pitching. Can't expect to win games in the WS when the other team is scoring 8 and 7 runs
LIDGE LIDGE LIDGE LIDGE LIDGE LIDGE
HE LOST IT
farg HIM I HOPE HE GETS AIDS
Yeah Lidge should carry a lot of the burden for this loss, but if he had a lead to work with maybe he wouldn't have had to rely on his fastball as much in some of the last ABs. The Yankees played well too. They didn't give up with 2 outs. They are playing extremely well in the clutch so you have to give them credit too. But the Phillies had their chances, at home, to score runs. They can't string together base hits consecutively to mount an impressive inning.
They look a bit confused out there. Plus I think the fans have sucked the past two games from my observations on TV. When FOX pans through the crowd I see a lot of sitting on hands and a lot of casually observing. A little annoyed at that too.
Jay, csnphilly.com should have the pressers if you want to stomach it.
If they can push it to a game 7 I think they take it. Lee can get the win tomorrow...but then it comes down to game 6. Pedro after throwing 100 pitches is gonna have to be brilliant again in Yankees stadium, and the offense is going to have to wake up against Pettitte. Not to mention that the bullpen is going to have to not blow.
Sadly I don't see this getting past 6, let alone 5. farging a.
lidge had been solid in the playoffs so far too. and he looked good on the first 2 batters. he threw good pitches to damon too but that slanty eyed half thai kept fouling them off. once he got to 3rd lidge stopped throwing his slider which played right into roid monkey's hand. even though he's been choking it up, aroid can still hit a fastball. they cure all slumps. i know the slider is a nasty pitch that's supposed to go in the dirt but ruiz is one of the best catchers in baseball and you gotta throw that pitch and let him do his job behind the plate. if one gets away and damon scores, so be it. shake it off, strike out the fraud at the plate and then the offense comes up only needing 1 to tie.
it probably wouldn't have mattered as the phils have mostly forgotten how to hit, but i'm feeling a lot better about needing 1 run instead of 3 off the best closer in mlb history.

win it for harry, motherfargers
i'm pretty sure harry is happy to be dead now. i consider him the luckiest phillies fan out there right now.
I felt really good with Lidge through the first two batters and even when Damon got on because he was locating his slider and he seemed to have good downward movement on it. Then all he threw was fastballs because he loses confidence in his BEST PITCH when runners get on.
Guy needs to get his head examined in the off-season. It would be much easier to stomach if he got beat with his best pitch when it seemed like he was throwing it pretty well. Ticks me off.
On the plus side Utley mashed again tonight and Rollins pretty much hasn't shown up at all so I've feel some personal validation here.

if damon is held at 2nd then i think lidge still keep throwing sliders. he stopped throwing them when damon moved to 3rd because if one gets by chooch, then damon scores easy.
also, i don't know who to call out for this one, but someone/anyone should have mentioned to lidge when texiera came up and the phils put the shift on, that he needed to cover 3rd on a throw to 2nd.
I figured that's why he stopped throwing sliders, but then you become a "one pitch" pitcher with a guy that mashes fastballs at the plate. If a slider gets by Ruiz then I'm pissed but I'm able to swallow the loss a bit better than if you think you can sneak a fastball by A-Rod when that's all he's looking for.
Plus I would imagine that if they institute the shift it's Lidge's duty to cover 3rd base on a steal to 2nd. Although it was just a heads up play by Damon that caught them off guard.
The way the Yankees won this game reminded me of the way the Phils have won pivotal games in the past. Just depressing to see it occur on the other end.

yup. like game 4 of the nlcs last year. games 3 and 4 of the nlds this year and game 4 of the nlcs this year.
Kind of ironic we lost in the ninth because of one of the Mitchell report's finest gets on base, steals to bases, and than gets hit home by the most prolific roider since Bonds..
farg the yanks
if lidge is supposedly in a situation in which he cant throw his slider, theres no reason to have lidge out there
every weakness they had during the year comes back to bite them in the ass now.
they got farging full of themselves. they won game 1 and thought they were untouchable. they haven't closed out games all year.. and you just assume your going to do it against a better team? haha. nice try idiots.
cool season. whatever. i knew they weren't going to let me enjoy the eagles win. lidge is done. ibanez is done. thanks for the HR feliz.. your done. bench=gone.. bullpen=gone. hamels=gone. the window is still open, make this this team great not just good enough to beat second rate teams amaro. yay offseason.
Agree with LB. Window is wide open with this group. Score a closer, get rid of Hamels and get something for him and a little more depth on the bench and there back in the thick of things. I think Ibanez is really hurt and Feliz is not 100% after back surgery. Howard just picked a bad time to really, really suck.
i have a feeling we could get 93ed again
the ace (schilling...lee) throws a gem in game 5. then in game 6 a lead is scrapped together...to the ninth...and the closer who walks the tight rope does as he's done 1000x before--he blows the game.
at least there was last year. at least there was last year.
i actually think lidge will be fine next year. not 08 perfect but not 09 bad either. 35-40 saves with 3-5 blown.
the bullpen in general is going to need some work.

at least there was last year. at least there was last year.
the big difference between 93 and 09 is that the 93 team was a total fluke. the strike in 94 was the best thing that could have happened to that team because now-a-days alot of people don't really remember that the 94 phils were about 20 games out of first place in the division (which was led by montreal).
at least we know that this current group of phillies is a legit playoff team and ws contender.
well i know that, just the same end result
in reality the nl east is already won, so this is something of dynasty. more titles would be nice. but i dont see why they shouldnt be the favorites to get back there, as of now.
being the new braves wouldn't really be that much of a dynasty.
what was it .. 14 division titles in a row and only 1 WS win.. they only got there twice and lost to you know who the second time. a lot of the time their almost scrutinized for only winning 1 title. anyways, like you said it'd be nice to see them chalk 1 more up. (preferably after they actually win the whole thing next time). to do that though their going to have to make a couple of important moves this offseason. with that it will shape the team for the foreseeable future and make that second championship possible in the years the rest of MLB decides to actually show up and challenge them for a ring. hopefully amaro has the nads to tinker with a team that was mostly inherited. obviously the lee deal was gold.. now make it happen in the offseason.

lidge and manuel trying to explain who should've covered 3rd.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfmvkO5x6Ng&feature=fvw (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfmvkO5x6Ng&feature=fvw)
the thought that he had to stop throwing sliders to one of the best defensive catchers in the game is one of the most retarded things I have ever heard. i kill lidge/ruiz much less if damon scores on a slider in the dirt than throwing 91mph fastballs for arod to crush
I can't watch or listen to anything except NFL Network.
Hell, I went to bed last night and put on Catch Me If You Can and the first farging line was when DiCaprio is telling Hanks "...that's why the Yankees always win"
>:(
Yeah at this point I don't want to know what they were thinking or why they decided to pitch him that way, etc. I don't want to read any columns with any rationalizations. They just collapsed and were outplayed when it counted.
I just want them to take tonight so I don't have to see A-Rod and Jeter prance around the field in Philly. I'm holding out hope but unless a switch flips on with these guys I don't see this turning around quick enough.
I have never been as angry at a sporting event outcome as I was last night. For a second I thought I was teetering on the edge of insanity. For real. Thank God no Yankees fans got in my face or I might be in lockup this morning.

I'm clinging to hope like MDS clings to his teddy bear at night.
3-1 can be overcome!
Like I said I think if they push it to 7 they will win....but they have to get another Cliff Lee-like performance tonight then luck their way out of game 6...because I see no way Pedro throws as good as he did again in NY in game 6.

thats one of the things i farging despise about "yankees" fans. their numbers all of a sudden triple here in south jersey now that their in the series.. and half of em like the cowboys, and the lakers.. farging front running corksuckers who couldn't name a yankee from last year not named arod, jeter, or rivera.

and as hopeless as i feel, the closer to game time the more and more hope i get. maybe this team really is as "mentally tough" as advertised and they can do it. maybe everything will magically just click. i mean they could've swept them at home earlier in the year if it wasn't for that icehole lidge. and they only have to win 2 in NY.. and the 1 here with lee on the mound. obviously they have to win tonight.. but the key is game 6 if they get to it. if they can pull that off.. anything can happen in game 7 and i might even give the edge to the phillies with the momentum swing and the pressure they'll feel in NY to clinch it.
that's what my heart says.
my mind is telling me to stfu and not even tune in tonight.

What is up with that! So true. I could spend hours on all the people I know who just "happen" to be Cowboys, Lakers and Yankees fans. True definition of fraud.
Bobby Valentine is rapidly creeping up on Tim McCarver as the biggest tool on TV covering the WS. What a putz.
Howard and Ibanez come to life starting tonight. We win 9 to 0. This starts a panic with the Yankees. We win a close one in NY game 6 in 11 innings, and then we win game 7 with another blow out. You heard it here.

If Howard gets a hit here, CBP will implode.

it just seems he has more of an open stance and a bigger crouch when he's hitting the cover off the ball.

I bet Vic broke a finger or his hand. He'll be fine defensively but when he comes back up and takes a hack, the bat goes flying and he goes out. I hope not, but that was too solid of a hit to not break or chip something.

that's not that new.. he's putting up one of the best postseasons for a pitcher, ever. in a related note if he doesn't pitch 9 again their probably farged.

i'd be there with you if it looked intentional. but it wasn't. and if vic wasn't attempting to bunt, then he wouldn't have even gotten hit...or would have taken it in the arm or back. a-roid got hit 3x in 2 games and the yanks didn't retaliate because they know that the phils weren't throwing at him so there's no need for the phils to get all butt hurt about vic.

funny thing is the DP might have driven in a run
Burnett looks like Timothy McVay plotting his next bombing.
at least he got a run across.
:-D
lol cliff lee
For a second I thought Werth gave Shane the finger but he gave him the shaka sign instead.
:-D
And LOL @ Clifford.
wow, imagine that. top of the order getting on base leads to hr's with runners on leads to 6-1 lead.
i can't beleive these dicks wait until being down 3-1 to farging hit.
i wish this was the 8th inning. way too much baseball left tonight for me to be at ease, even though the game appears to be in the bag
Another mound conference.
Lovely.
Nice job there, Jimmy. I mean, whoda thunk you'd get a fastball right down the middle there?
when brad lidge is on your roster there's no such thing as enough runs.

lee needs to remain in until he gives up at least 3 more runs. nothing to save his arm for after this
not broken. nice.
vic must be full of oxycontin right now
nice play pedro
i was pondering the same thing.. i mean say they go up 8+ runs. do they take him out and save him for a potential game 7? even if its only for a couple innings.. the guy is a beast.. he doesn't even ice his arm down after games, i'm sure he could handle it. its basically what the d-backs did with randy johnson and schilling that one year.. just pitched him to their arms fell off and it worked. too bad lee's counterpart is a vagina with flaming herpes/warts/aids/death.
Cole is good for 2 innings
Jimmy Rollins is pretty good.
wow 3-0 to a guy with a broken hand. and yeah it's broken, i dont believe him.
can anyone explain why they are making a big deal about Cabrera? Dude supposedly has a bad hammy, yet was dancing a fool pregame?
Quote from: Seabiscuit36 on November 02, 2009, 09:28:50 PM

Who gives a shtein about that humpty dumpty lookin' flag?
I hope he dies.
Howard = shellshocked.
Never give up. Never ever give up
choke is just setting everyone up for an epic grand slam in game 7

the problem is no phillies fans will be alive to see it, we'll all be dead of massive coronaries long before then.

Lee stays in even if this thing goes 18 innings.
That antic by Werth helped ease the pain of that not going out.
getting dangerous for center fielders out there.
hell of a catch though, really took the wind out of this inning.
i'm not even angered by feliz's refusal to take pitches anymore and have come to grips with the fact that he has the hitting iq of used toilet paper. if ray charles played baseball, he'd see more pitches than pedro feliz
i refuse to even talk about pedro feliz. he's the worst position player on the roster and needs to be gone. I have nothing to contribute.

Sit down ugly farg. You can take your sweet ass time catching but not in the box.
mccarver lecturing buck about the ways the game of baseball has changed over the years... didnt mention how much worse announcers have gotten

Rocketry.
too bad they didnt put the cancer billboard there
The ladyfriend and I were talking about the difference in sound between Werth's can of corn to center and a home run sound just as Ibanez crushed that one. It's like when you've played and watched the game as long as I have you don't even need to see it... you can hear it when it's gone.
That shot from Raul was a thing of beauty.
He's to hoping this carries over (assuming they can hold on).
lol @ pete happy.
put him and howard on the same spaceship bound for the sun.
say what you want about pedro, he has more homers than howard in this series
Hey Joe Buck, this just in, striking out Feliz is not a positive. It is expected. Kind of like the sun rising in the east, setting in the west, etc.
can you go too?
cause i love to see you find a better option
lol @ the l'il fella.
i don't think i can ever stop laughing at the crippled basketball players in the gatorade commercial
mccarver thinks they may be taking victorino out because of his hand... im gonna go out on a limb and agree with that perceptive observation

yeah. but i pretty much hate any player that the yankees bought. jeter, jorge and rivera are about the only legit yankees as far as i'm concerned. the rest are just a bunch of over priced hoydas because they can't develop their own talent. farg cc, burnett, a-roid, tex, damon, etc, etc.
anyone can buy a world series. the d-backs did it and the marlins did it....twice.
wtf raul?
Francisco makes that catch.
that was literally a carbon copy of last night. i mean almost pitch for pitch. two 1-2 counts with hits then gay-rod rips a shot to left.
nothing is ruined
lee just had nothing left, still, very unlucky to get stuck with 2 runs there
ho chi has got this
same as howard on that swing.
but it's a ball.
if they get through this inning with no more baserunners, then they get the 8-9-1 hitters in the 9th.
Who posted those Korean caricatures? Good time for them.
turns out vic had a point there
they really must not trust eyre, hes got to be up just as a deke

how about 1-2 runs to just save an impending manuel meltdown. though, it is funny to watch you people lose your heads over a 6 run lead
is there really any argument against leaving park in to close this game, or is it purely just going to be a "lidge is our guy" kind of move
They need to get at least one back in the bottom half to make me not shtein my pants in the top half of the 9th. Does Lidge get another chance? Why couldn't this just be easy.

couldn't disagree more. this is the world series and you're playing an elimination game and you go with what got you here in the first place. since making the trade for lee/francisco, francisco has been the late game defensive subsitution for raul. francisco probably makes that catch and victorino doesn't even have to worry about a-rod tagging at 3rd because he's never there to begin with.
the yankees offensively are no different than the phils. no lead is safe, no matter who is on the mound or how late in the game it is.
Bruntlett bunt? No way Tim. We love to see Stairs hit a HR every 3 months.
Yeah, Ruiz is gonna tke off here. Use your head, Hughes...you bitch
Why is this farging canadian watching fastballs sail by?
farg you stairs
lol how finished is matt stairs. holy lord.
Maybe McCarver was right.
Madson?
now i REALLY think they should have left park in
And he GIDP on a slider after seeing two meatballs. Idiot.
Sarge...it was 8-2 in the 8th inning. You take out the guy whose hand is jacked up

lololol yeah, exactly as they planned. The House That 6-4-3 Captain Jetes built.
tell those Yankee fans to go farg themselves. All of them
It is going to be sweet watching the Phils win the World Series in Yankee stadium.
I would have felt much more confident if they were going into Game 6 with a 8-2 win instead of an 8-6 nail-biter but they got a day off tomorrow to try and re-group and come out with all they got on Wednesday. They got some life, the bats looked good, but the late inning pitching is getting to be too much.
I have faith in my Phils but they have to put together a complete game on Wednesday to keep this shtein going.

Pete Martin's bringing it on Wednesday. Book it.
Joe Buck's summary just there talking about how resilient the Yankees are...nothing positive about the Phillies...just the Yankees.
I despise him.
He sounded more excited after the Yankees started getting on base in the 8th than he did calling the final out of the WS last year when they won.
Hopefully somewhere along the NJ Turnpike Howard can find his swing.
And Madson can find a scrote.
I hope they pound the shtein out of Pettitte...no more fishing at those farging sliders.
By the way - Joe West will be the HP ump. lol...
Of course he did. He's worse than a fraternity legacy pledge, PG, and the only reason he has a job is because of his father, who was a monumentally awesome announcer.

a game 6 loss and the yanks are finished. fans will panic, media will lose its mind, too much to handle.
also fat ass going back to back 3 days? IN. pedro will bring it, but charlie has to pull the plug at the 100 pitch mark. when that hits use ho chi ducksauce and go from there

that's a slanted stat. i mean, in the history of baseball, how many 2nd basemen have played in the world series?
Joe Buck doesn't have a good voice, he doesn't provide any unique insight, and he's not good on the play-by-play.

I like your plan.
Let Coleen go the first 3-4. Blanton for 4-7. Chan Ho 8. Lee for the save.
i might (key word "might") be ok with hamels starting game 7 but at the first sign of trouble, i'd skip everyone else and go straight to lee. especially if hamels is at least able to get through 4 innings. game 7 definitely aint the time to be dicking around with happ who has been an abortion in the playoffs.
cole has been okay for the first time or so through the order. im not sure you can go with joe farging blanton in a game 7 on the road.
lee really needs to be used in the biggest spot of the game. that might be the 4th inning, who knows. or just start him and get what you can out of him.

i think hamels has been decent in each of his postseason starts in the early innings. but like you said, he's gone to crap the 2nd time people face him. maybe the phils should do game 7 completely bass ackwards.
start lidge, have him pitch the first.
chan ho in the 2nd
hamels 3-6
lee 7-9

If Utley can start to come around he could have one of the biggest world series ever.
Short porches get raped by Utley, if I didn't know any better I'd say he was aiming for them.
Man I'm good.
Utley is carrying this offense.
it doesn't matter who pitches any of the games. the entire farging offense (paging victorino, and howard) better show up in the bronx ready to beat some heads in or their going to get laughed out of the stadium. either way you slice it.. asking pedro to pitch against this offense again on the road and expecting another good start is a tall order no matter what his experience is. hopefully he can do it, but at some point your going to the bullpen that is certain. and as i think MDS said earlier, it's eerily reminiscent of '93 if they have the lead they'll need to have a shot. if they pull it off you still have the big fat vagina going in game 7 who can't be trusted for shtein.. and a dog shtein tired cliff lee. i guess you pull cole in until the first sign of trouble. then you put lee in. then hoe cheese. its a 1 game playoff and i'd put this team against any in a 1 gamer. lets get it on.
bottom line is the real big game is wed. if they pull that off i think the momentum is massively on the phils side. they can hit CC which has been proven.. especially on short rest. the plus is i think vagina face might actually be due for a big game. he really can't do any worst.
i will literally eat pedros icehole if he wins the game
just heard on mike and mike that brett myers and cole hamels had a minor confrontation after the game last night. apparently, myers walked by hamels after the game and said "what are you doing here? i thought you quit."
coleleen done went and pissed of the wife beater. watch out cole......myers ain't slapped a bitch in 2 weeks.
i love it, add to that that Colleen told ESPN that he hasnt slept since Saturday. Maybe this is the fire he needs
Yeah I can't imagine Cole has many friends in the locker room right now. There was nothing said that could be taken out of context. He wants to quit. He was probably harboring those emotions for awhile and now he just let them slip by his tongue. Dude needs to get a new disposition during the off-season. He doesn't know how to handle adversity very well. Maybe giving him all that money in the off-season was a bad idea because he seems content with just winning one World Series when he may never get the opportunity again to win 2.
I say ship his ass to a sports shrink. Tell him he'll lose his starting job if he doesn't go and get his shtein figured out (in the offseason).
And btw...my love for Myers just was renewed with that story. If Myers had the talent of Hamels, he'd be a perennial All Star because he has such a fire and desire to win.

My boy Brett Myers ready to kill him...I love it.
QuotePHILADELPHIA – Phillies pitchers Brett Myers(notes) and Cole Hamels(notes) had a short but tense confrontation in the team's clubhouse following Game 5 of the World Series, according to one witness, words that stemmed from Hamels' recent statement that he was eager for his season to end.
As Myers walked past Hamels near Hamels' locker he said, mocking, "What are you doing here? I thought you quit."
Hamels, the witness said, responded with an expletive.
Before the situation escalated, Myers was guided away by a team official.
lololol....I can just imagine Cole's explextive; tinged with the effeminate lisp and high pitched voice.
"Ssstop Brett. shtein!"
[myers]boom. outta here[/myers]
From Phils Mb:
QuoteJohn Clark is on WIP and he is saying the story is way off. He said Victorino is the one who said that to Hamels, but he said it facetiously and was just busting his chops, and Myers was already with the team official in the clubhouse, he wasn't escorted out.
Also, Myers was walking by Hamels being interviewed and said he thought Hamels quit for the night(meaning went home already).
John Clark will forever be known for this

Quote"Anything that doesn't involve getting better is like background noise to him," Phillies reliever Chad Durbin(notes) said. "It's like, 'Oh, I have to eat. Crap. I'm not going to get that extra five minutes of video because I'm going to have to throw this peanut butter and jelly down.' "

QuoteTouch 'Em All: Hamels: Not enough Philly in him
POSTED: November 2, 2009
By Frank Fitzpatrick
This will come as no surprise to anyone who watched Cole Hamels pitch or answer questions Saturday night - or any other night - but the Phillies lefthander might be the most un-Philly Philadelphia athlete ever.
Mike Schmidt was an enigma, too, but at some level he understood us and, eventually, we grasped him. Ditto Randall Cunningham and many others who have passed through but never left their hearts in South Philadelphia.
Hamels will never be one of us and it's not his fault.
The whiny voice. The fashion-mag looks. He was born with those. In Southern California, no less.
That's all fine for him. But it's grating to us.
The boos Saturday. The gradual disillusionment. It was inevitable. The only way Hamels was going to stay in the city's good graces was if he continued to pitch his butt off.
Philly likes its pasta sauce red, its milk shakes black and white, and its sports heroes blue-collar.
The fans love it when someone who can play reminds them of a stevedore (Brian Dawkins), a steamfitter (Pete Rose), or a sanitation worker (Lenny Dykstra).
Hamels, it's always apparent, makes his living with his arm, not his hands.
It's easier to imagine him as a waiter in a trendy restaurant ("Hi, I'm Cole. I'll be your waiter. Would you like to hear our specials?"); a dance instructor ("You call that a battement fondue?"); an architect ("If I don't use dentil molding, it could ruin the neoclassical motif."); or a model ("Work it, Cole. Work it!").
When a guy like that fails in a town like this, it could get ugly.
QuoteYou know that story. Burnett started a new Yankees tradition earlier this summer, sneaking up from behind and crushing a pile of whipped cream into the face of a heroic teammate during a postgame television interview. The fans absolutely swooned for it. And who could blame them? Look! The Yankees like to have fun just like real human beings!
Um...reallly? How many years now have the Phillies been doing this?

Did anyone post about Larry Bowa claiming that we may videotape signals, which is why the Yankees take so many breaks with their catchers...
Larry Bowa.. you bitter old farg
lol. omgspygatezrhappeningz!! :crazy :crazy :crazy
there's no need for the phils to video tape any signals since fox likes to zoom in on posada's scrote everytime he calls a pitch.
there's really no need for it in baseball at all though. the cf camera overlooking the picture gives a clear enough view what the catcher is calling even without zooming all the way in like fox does.
the camera is a necessity--how else will we know what correct pitch tim mccarver gives us the heads up on
sign stealing? its a part of baseball. if you get away with it, great. if you caught, great. everyone tries to do it.
Yep, part of the game.
There were accusations about this awhile back too. I don't recall which team said it (the douchey Mets maybe).
Tomorrow night can't get here fast enough

It's literally all I've been thinking about since game 5 ended. Easily the most excited I've been for a game ever. The epicness of this is off the charts. To not only beat the Yankees, but to come back from 3-1, win 2 in the Bronx with the pitching that they'll have can never be topped. Might as well cancel sports cause it will never get better than that.
But the key will be wearing down Pettitte. While Burnett you had to attack, Pettitte is a nibbler. His location should be off, so he'll get sloppy and try to junk his way through. farging Rollins and Hacktorino better take some god damn pitches and wear him down. Even if they leave a lot of runners on (which may happen, given how he pitches), getting him out the game by 5 or 6 will be huge.
Then, of course, what the farg is Pedro gonna do.
Exactly.
When they had Pettitte on the ropes in his last start, they let him off easy. I think after seeing him and knowing how he's likely to go after them, they will adjust.
Jimmy's AB against Burnett was key. He worked him for 6 pitches and got the one he wanted. That is what he has to do tonight - set the tone. Work him. All of them need to work him and stay disciplined. That's hard for them to do sometimes, but they can do it, as evidenced by how many walks they take.
They HAVE to get to him by the 6th. Because if the Yankees go into the 7th with a lead, we will see Rivera. I would bet that Girardi uses him with 2 outs in the 7th if need be. And if he's not totally crazy, we will definitely see him in the 8th.
* Can Howard wake up? Can he lay off the slider? My bet is they will pitch around Utley.
* Can they make him throw pitches? Maybe +50 by the 3rd?
* If Howard cannot break out, it falls to Werth.
I think Werth is going to tee off once or twice on him.
Pettitte isn't going to give into Choke. He'll throw him slop and the best we can hope for is a walk or a bloop base hit or whatever. Basically a very slim chance of success. It really falls on Werth. He needs to come through.
Damnit play this game now! I have a feeling this is gonna be a laugher. Like they jump on Pettitte and Pedro does his thing. I shouldn't be confident, but I kind of am.
of all the teams to ever face a 3-1 deficit, the phils had to feel good about their chances when gerardi decided to go with burnett on 3 days rest because that all but guaranteed that every starter the phils see for the remainder of the series will be going on short rest. and they have to be feeling pretty confident after jumping all over burnett early. pettite pitched a simiar game as burnett in game 2.....they had them both on the ropes early but just couldn't cash in. 2nd time they saw burnett, they lit his ass up so hopefully they can do the same with pettite tomorrow. i'm really not too concerned with cc if it goes to 7 because the phils have had decent success against him in the past and it's damn tough for a pitcher to be successfull against the same team when they've seen him 3x in 7 games. of course, the same could be said for lee vs yanks in game 7 also which is concerning.
of course, if the phils don't pull it out tomorrow then the point is mutated.
I don't think anything will ever replace how I felt waiting for game 5 part 1 last season. I only had to wait until 3 PM Hawaii time for the game but I was going ape shtein. I was climbing the wall and was worse than an expectant father pacing my office. I remember being terrified of having to go back to that shtein box Tropicana Field and possibly having the series at 3-3.
I'm excited and anxious but still fuming over Cole on Halloween night and the 9th inning meltdown on Sunday.

since the dh will be in play, i can def see him going more than 1 inning since there's no need to worry about the pitcher's spot in the batting order.
Game 6 lineup: Rollins SS, Victorino CF, Utley 2B, Howard 1B, Werth RF, Ibanez DH, Feliz 3B, Francisco LF, Ruiz C.
Glad to see that one game has erased 3 months of Feliz being one of the worst players in baseball in Charlie's eyes.
Ok folks, let's do this.

no timeouts for Chooch.
Damn, this stadium is tiny. That ball wasn't hit that far but in Yankee Stadium it's almost at the warning track.
a little too close for comfort there. i have a feeling that the yanks are going to get some good swings on pedro tonight. gotta hope they barely miss on them like tex just did.
Pedro looks like he is still sick.
Lets go CHOKE!!
and Werth...he's the key to the game tonight, IMO
Nice job, Choke. Don't make him actually throw a farging strike before you swing.
icehole.
at least he didnt k :-\
werthy sorta.
WTF Ibanez?
i know pedro isn't going to throw mid 90's, but hes always tended to get stronger as the game goes on. he should be able to work his way up to 90, 91 on the fastball by the 5th.
come on feliz. base knock baby!
Feliz = :-D
lol @ swinging on a 3-1 count. what a farging tool.

sac fly is better than nothing but when chooch is able to leg out a farging triple then you kind of need to keep making pettite work. jimmy didn't really do that and victorino definitely didn't even try make him work.

Yes - Victorino walked Damon and hit Frankenjew.
double play please!!!!!!!1
NICE.
go away fraud
Sit the farg down A-funhole.
please don't let Matsui face Pedro
wow what a great farging strikeout by pedro
why would manuel be torn here...happ needs to come in imo
:o :paranoid holy ish man
come on pedro. don't give this mofo anything to hit.
this could go down as the all time worst decision by a phillies manager if matsui gets a hit
That sucked.

I don't know who called that high strike either but it was retarded beyond belief.
with 2 strikes, i don't get why they're calling for any pitch even remotely close to the strike zone. hell, i'd rather watch 1 run get walked. phils are lucky matsui didn't bring them all home.
you'll find out this inning.
if they get nothing going, their farged. you can't show up at a slugfest without some sluggers.
Phils have a huge 5th inning, i can feel it.
phils win this game.
The Phillies were second in the Majors in dingers and they're playing in a little league field.
Settle down, please.
farg damon.
Looking forward to some home runs with no one on base.
why do you get happ up...then have doobee come to mound to stall in order to get happ ready...then not bring him in when a great lefty hitter comes up who fargING HIT A HOME RUN 25 MINUTES AGO!!!

Nice way to slide that in there. :-D
Can we do something here fellas?
need eight more werths against petitte
ibanez weakly ground out on the second pitch which is a slider away.
even if ibanez gets on, feliz the ralley slayer is up next.
i think both ibanez and posada thought that should have been a fastball
Oh shtein. Mr. fargtober
lol @ 13 lob for feliz. it's about to go to 15.

this is cute, feliz making a run at keeping his job next year. too little too late bud. it is impressive he hasn't swung at any of those yet.
dick
Shocker
Speechless.
Feliz is unbelievably useless right now. Good God - you piece of shtein - just a single would have given them some life.
Thanks for nothing.
Brutal. Brutal. Told my wife...that's pretty much the game. Pettite on the ropes again, throwing balls, two guys on, gotta come away with a score. They're running out of time. 42 is the 7th.
weak grounder though, predictable.
typical weaknesses biting them in the ass.
hitting with RISP.
manuel too dumb or stubborn to make a change in the lineup. maybe having a batter hitting over .300 in the playoffs is better off hitting 7th then pedro feliz, ever.
Batting Feliz 7th might cost more runs then leaving Pedro out there.
that's the difference between the yanks and the phillies this series. the yanks have usually found a way to get that rbi hit.
Bye, bye Pedros.
farging terrible!!!!!!!!
can't believe pedro's back out there. dude is an all-time great but he's finished now.
Pedro is still out there because.............................................

he's still got a year left i believe. amaro won't do shtein. we won't get a meltdown from hamels in game 7 to warrant getting his ass traded for something useful.. like an actual hitting 3b.
thou, if you talking about martinez he's long gone. he's a 2 month pitcher at most.
The Navy slut would get it.
i just don't get it. throwing an 88 mph fastball, he looks like a right handed jamie moyer out there now.
Quote from: Rome on November 04, 2009, 09:30:27 PM

don't worry, she will when they get back on the boat tonight.
90 mph. That's the pitch he should have throw to the gook.
Look at these buffoons behind home plate just talking away. "What game?"
Only Cholly would bring Pedro back to face three straight lefties.
I was angry at Hamels too, but come on.
Look who the phillies are farging throwing out there right now in Game 6 of the World Series and you want to trade Hamels too? Really?
And pull it off.
:-D
1,2,3 brilliant move Charlie :-D
Even considering trading Hamels is monumentally stupid.

Who the hell is saying trade him, I'm glad Charlie moved him back in the series, but no trade.
If the Phils score another run in this game then not pulling Pedro for Happ will be scrutinized all off-season. I would imagine the Phils will at least make some noise before this game is over. I don't want to think that they would go home quietly.

Chooch is the only one that hit anything hard tonight. Durbin needs to keep them in it in the bottom half or this could get ugly.
I'm not even pissed. This has become a joke. Bums get guys on pass and bail out like they're on the last lifeboat on the Titanic.
farg pedro
Offense losing it. Top 4 are an albatros. Can't win with that. Pettitte doesn't have much, offense failing beyond belief. Its on them and manuel
its almost sickening how much they look like the dodger this series.
ibanez would have had it!
Raul would have had that farger

this series is more over than the sixers
Manuel has been nothing short of horrendous this series
even tex, who is the only other player that might be as horrible as howard is getting rbi's.
maybe he watched some film howard.
ever think that might help you out of those massively horrible slumps you fall into?
Yanks, even though the middle of their lineup hasn't had a great average this World Series, drives them home with RISP. That's the difference. Yanks have been much more clutch than the Phils the entire series.
I love Japs (you know, being in Hawaii and all)
Yay he hit him!!
what? that didn't hit him, what a bitch

that's why happ didn't come in with the bases loaded. the post season scares him.
Happ would have probably got his ass torn apart by Matsui too so we can probably put that "OMG why didn't Cholly put Happ in with the bases loaded" shtein to rest.

they haven't shown any heart the entire series, what made you think they were going to start now.
they won game 1 and thought they had it wrapped up. they got cocky and got stomped down by an actual baseball team. its sad how much less competitive the NL is from the AL.
so much for the 4 era
I know it's only the 5th inning but Yankee Stadium isn't that crazy.
Yeah you don't know if Happ would have made the same pitches in the same sequence, but Matsui seems locked in tonight that I'm not sure if a pitching change would have mattered. He has been smoking everything, including his foul balls earlier in the night. He's definitely a dangerous hitter when he's locked in.

Yeah this team is just a bunch of guys who take way too many big rips at the ball and aren't willing to string ABs together and take what pitchers give them. It was probably going to catch up to them sooner rather than later.
And even if Lidge keeps it a tie, it's just speculation whether the Phils score later on or what happens. It's not like he blew a save. He came in a tie game and couldn't get the final strike.
The Phils were a mixed bag this Series. Sometimes they showed flashes of how well they've played in the post-season and other times they went into a shell. Not sure what to make out of it other than they are just getting beat by a better team both on paper and in terms of execution.

The Phils were a mixed bag this Series. Sometimes they showed flashes of how well they've played in the post-season and other times they went into a shell. Not sure what to make out of it other than they are just getting beat by a better team both on paper and in terms of execution.
the yankees are just better.. like igy said they got lucky they ran into the rays last year. its no coincidence the phils get creamed in interleague every year. i'm happy they broke the streak, but this team isn't legacy worthy yet.
i don't remember the last time i've turned the tv off before the end of a phils game. even a meaningless game in may let alone a farging ws game but i just can't watch that farging crap and i refuse to watch ny celebrate.
Luckily for us, or pitching will hold the yanks the rest of the way.
Nice catch by the fan as the dude behind him had him in a stranglehold.
Andy Pettitte chant? Oh dear god, farg me.
i'd kick my dog right now if he weren't so farging old
I've never seen this team so effing tight. Werth didn't even think of swinging.
Nice job by Guitar Hero with the double.

not really....they got one of the great pitching performances in WS history in one game and then had a good three innings against a guy who had no chance due to pitching on three days rest in another game...in bwtn those two things they have been completely outclassed
They're one out away from leading the series 3-2.
Stop it, for the love of Christ... just farging stop with this bullshtein.
I told my girlfriend that they would make it like 7-5 just to twist the knife around a little deeper before losing.
COME ON FELIZ!!!!
A glimmer of hope. A poke shot to RCF. Get Ibanez home.
Any way possible, get his ass home.
Jabba wants no part of him and will pitch him outside. ANd he will probably roll over and ground out
rollins doesn't get to skate either. he's been a non factor and lead off hitter is definitely one of the areas they have been out shined in this series.
LOL @ leaving Feliz in.
yet again, good thing pedro feliz is hitting 7th. how many times has this failed so far this series.
I can feel it, a ground out is coming
it's, it's like I've seen that before :-D
i never want to see that stupid farging flag spick again. i don't give a shtein how average his glove is. get the farg out of here.
You have got to be farging kidding me leaving that piece of shtein in there.
There is no conceivable way you let Feliz bat. I don't care who you replace him with or how badly his feelings are hurt. YOU PULL HIM OUT.
icehole.
Yep, just like I thought. Jabba goes away, away, away and Feliz kindly obliges by weakly grounding out.
Way to be charitable, you miserable farging bum.

I'm not sure how a tie going into the bottom of the 9th with the best closer in post-season history on the mound equals a win, but I'd concede that they were definitely in Game 4 and they had a chance. But what happened? The Yankees came up with clutch hits with 2 outs and RISP and the Phils haven't. Look back at this series and I think it's pretty clear that when the Yankees had runners on they did a better job than the Phils in bringing them home. Also when the Phils have put together innings it seems like the Yanks answered right back.
I'm not willing to say that the Phils completely shtein the bed this Series, but they definitely weren't as clutch as the Yankees have been for most of the series in key spots. Either it was a fielding miscue or the bullpen didn't pitch as well to keep them in the game, etc. They just didn't put together a complete team effort outside of Game 1 and that's why they are where they are.

you cant say they are one of the worst anymore now that they got back to the series
their a very good team. just not great. they need to make some moves. the supporting cast failed them this year. bullpen, setup guys. i think pedro actually had a few clutch hits in last years series. not that his bat makes the difference, cuz it'd be nice if choke wasn't a retarded farging icehole for 6 games but maybe if the leadoff hitters actually did their job and got on there's people on base for some of those HR's. maybe if the bullpen didn't totally suck farging shtein, they stay in some of these games till the end and make a move. coulda, shoulda, woulda. bullpen needs to be gutted and there needs to be some competition for 3b and LF.
This team has still accomplished some pretty cool stuff over the years and I think I'll look back and remember all that they accomplished, but sometimes you have to tip your hat when you get beat by a team that just played better at key moments.
Down 4 runs now. They got an outside chance to make some noise late, but I may be now trying to come to grips with disappointment so it doesn't hurt it as much later.
the modern day yankees are a farging joke. they can't develop young talent so they just rape and piledge the rest of the league. anyone can buy a world series as evidenced by the marlins and d-backs. the only difference is that the yanks have the cash flow to sustain it.
i have nothing but respect for the old yankee teams that won a bunch of championships because they mostly did it with homegrown talent. guys like berra, mantle, gehrig, dimaggio, etc. but the yankees of the last 15 years have bought championship after championship and the only players they've developed on their own are jeter, pettite and rivera.
call me when they win one with a core group of their own players.
Its gut check time.
Can these slimeballs string together a good inning? Can they actually work a pitcher?
And maybe get a walk, single, walk, double?

couldnt be more wrong...this is the first title they have won that you could maybe say they bought...but even at that they still have jeter posada petitte ect...
just gonna get more epic from here.
lol god how farging awful is francisco? this bench is beyond horrendous.
manuel batting ruiz 9th is just killing them. what a farging old piece of shtein.
so farging glad pedro feliz is batting 7th instead of carlos ruiz.
Good season, come back next year and make it two outta three.

cool utley will launch one so we get shut down for 6 outs down by only 1 so i blow a vein out of my forehead. farg this team. to little to late.
Well....here it is ladies and gents.
Grits is up with the season on the line. They have to do it here.
Marte can be wild as farg. Work him. Do not swing a JUNK.
Utley has to knock in at least two here because I have no faith in Choke against Marte.
COME ON PHILS!!!!!!!!!
Pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease.........
wow cairo? he spent the entire season in allentown.
the bench blows. amaro made great moves but he never figured out that stairs sucked and dobbs was hurt. not their biggest problem but one that wasnt tough to fix.
lol at mccarver talking up utleys opposite field home run prowess...in seven years has he ever hit one opposite field?
and of course the horrible umping continues into this at bat.
nice and generous on those strikes you fat icehole.
farg your mother utley. right in the ass.
hey look a dominating left hander.
I didn't expect Utley to have such an ugly at-bat. That was deflating. Again.
Ha - two total bullshtein calls in one at-bat. Impressive work there by the best crew in baseball.
goddamn.
horrible, at bat. A single, Chase....ever heard of those?
I wanna puke
pick a yankee batter out of a hat and guarantee he gets a hit there
OK, now this shtein is officially over. They just can't finish any kind of rally.
The generous strike zone on the first pitch of that AB set up everything else. farging losers.

Sit the farg down, Tojo.
i'm not going to start hating on rollins all of a sudden but dude has laid an epic egg this series. just like nearly everyone else. he's still my guy though.
speaking of performance, how about that gritty strikeout with runners on? his 5 hr are awesome, but other than the 3run shot in game 5, he's been just as horrible with runners on base as everyone else on this team. in fact, i don't think he has a hit other than the home runs.
i still love me some grit too, but the 5 hr's are a bit misleading in regards to his perfomance as a whole.

youre joking right??
name another team that can match a home grown set of players like the following that have all essentially been there from the beginning...filling in your team with some free agents doesnt not = buying a championship
jeter - postseason legend
bernie - postseason legend
rivera - best reliever ever
petitte - all time post season wins leader
posada
whose had better home grown talent than that thats won the world series?
Heart of the order, sorta... this is it right here. Rivera is bound to crack sooner or later. Might as well be now.

Those at bats against Damaso Marte were farging horrible.
Choke should be ashamed. Tell yourself "lets go" while you walk back to the dug out, you icehole. Way to show up in the Series, Howard. You can farg yourself.
assuming he gets werth and ibanez, that will leave francisco, feliz and chooch in the 9th.

unless they get at least two runs in the next two outs anyone that watches the 9th should be shot

kind of hard to do anything when you wait until you're down 2 strikes to take a swing.

unless they get at least two runs in the next two outs anyone that watches the 9th should be shot

what dont kill you make you stronger. gotta tough it out, take your beating like a man.
There's that icehole with the whistle. Why has someone not killed that prick?
Werth has had a brutal game. Way too tentative at the plate.

not a chance...i would almost watch the red sox win a world series before a-rod...ALMOST
lol @ raul waiting until garbage time to have his best ab of the series.
Look at the bight side folks, we possibly get to witness Feliz and Francisco take their last at bats for the season!
No fargin way Feliz hits.
Holy shtein.
I literally cannot believe my eyes.
HOW fargING APPROPRIATE.
haha and that folks is the last ab for pedro feliz as a phillie
I mean, why? Why would you leave him in there? He had no chance to get a hit. NONE.
there's almost no reason not to pinch hit for feliz there. i'd rather see bruntlett up there at this point. hell, give cliff lee a farging bat.
Hey Cole! Now that you won't have any speaking engagements this off season, work on a third pitch for your repertoire.
minor thing but the fact that they wouldnt bat dobbs or take him off the roster needs to be mentioned. like why. not that cairo is good but just why.
Charlie, we really wanted to see an act of loyalty and we were expecting Lidge.
yeah, don't really understand why you put someone on the roster but don't use him at all.
Does Dobbs still have H1N1?
how can feliz have such great hand eye coordination and suck so bad at the plate?
and he just earned another year in Charlies mind.
We still hate you Feliz.
gardner is gritty. look at that hustle.
Of course Chooch is gonna knock one out.

Good job Eyre! That is probably it for him. Good work dude.

it wouldn't suprise me in the least. then jimmy and victorino will end it.
as impossible as it sounds dobbs is worse than feliz...not that i would be against using him there but does anyone believe for a second greg dobbs is gonna get a hit off mariano rivera...and feliz as zesty as he is still had as good or better series than mark texiera robinson cano or melky cabrera and with far less expectations

him and chan ho were the most steady arms out of the pen all year. i think it has something to do with those sexy bodies in his elbow.

Absolutely. Eyre and Park did a good job. Park was a trooper. To be sent to the pen after being a starter and stepping up big time was stellar.

that spot didnt matter. no one was getting a hit. its just funny that dobbs has aids or whatever and isnt off the roster.
jeter has more postseason hits than feliz has had in any single season.
To quote choke "Let's Go!" ::)
Now he puts Stairs in.
Comical.
double play?
how fitting would a dp be here? come on jimmy, end it.
Come on Rollins. Do something.

Ha - can of corn.
great, now we get to see victorino hack it up again.
these fargers can't even end it properly to help ease the suffering.
Seriously.
If Rollins takes next year off like he did this year we're screwed.
christ dude. just swing and miss and end it you farg!
Awful end to a great title defense.
Close thread.
bought and paid for.
wow they suck at celebrating
lolololol at that celebration. its like they dont even care.
like i said before its not even like getting beat by a team.
farg

Team of mercenaries. Hope Selig is happy because they got exactly what they wanted.
I still love you guys. It was still a great post season. They'll be back.
Holy shtein, Arod's celebration was hilarious :-D tip toe thru the tulips with me!

No, they won't. No team goes to the World Series three years in a row. They had their shot at immortality and failed.

huh? what makes you think they couldnt make another run to the title?
I am so glad I turned the tv off once vic was out. Ain't watchin no celebration that doesn't involve a philly team.
the nl is weak, the dodgers are in complete disarray right now with their owners getting divorced. phils have as good a shot as any at 3-peating in the nl. full year of cliff lee = boner.
btw, monty and co should just hand him a blank check right now.
After all the terrible losses with all our teams, why mommy, why does this one hurt me so bad?
right now colorado is the competition. maybe san fran if they over haul the offense.
because the game 1 win was a teaser and a monumental set up.
Quote from: MDS on November 05, 2009, 12:03:12 AM

i don't think colorado does anything notable next year. they went on 2 rediculous runs to get into the playoffs but i really haven't seen any sign of consistancy from them.
sf could be quite good though. i'd love to swap 3rd basemens with them. not because i think sandoval is all that great, but feliz is just that bad. plus, i can't wait to see the phillies fans form the panda express in the outfield seats.
Well at least i won't go to the grave without knowing what it was like to have one of my teams win one.
They had no one but Cliff Lee to go toe to toe with the Yankees and that's something Amaro is going to have to address in the offseason. They're up against it with respect to payroll now and with Werth, Victorino and several others looking at major raises, I just don't see how they can bloat the payroll even further with a top of the line starter to go with Lee.
I don't know... the pitching staff was held together with bailing wire and they made it to game 6 of the Series. Who knows?
I'm just tired and enraged at the moment.
Anyway - good season, terrible ending. Goodnight girls.
PS: FUCH THE COWBOYS.

I was thinking Giants but they need a complete offensive overhaul. Like Sarge said the Doyers are in total disarray and this NLCS loss was brutal on them. Cardinals will always be around but is Larussa a lame duck?

You have a few hours? I lived through the Sixers blowing a 2-0 lead on the Blazers in 77, Black Friday, Super Bowl XV, the loss to Tampa Bay, etc. Savor last year.

:-D Your mom wouldn't do me if I was that old. 1980 I was strictly Eagles. I expanded to the other 3 in the 90's to increase my chances.
top 5 people to blame for loss:
1. choke- didnt show up. cant win 4/7 without him. plain and simple.
2. hamels- blew ass this year, forced manuel to go with him in game 3, lost game 3, created stupid media story, is a Hoyda
3. rollins- didnt show up. cant win 4/7 without him. plain and simple.
4. lidge- farg you
5. manuel- left pedro in too long in game 2. didnt plan for damon steal in game 4. hit pedro feliz 7th in game 5. left pedro in to face matsui. brought in chad durbin. never hit carlos ruiz higher in the order. kept batting rollins first when he refused to get on base. never taught shane victorino how to play baseball.
i think lidge is a bit of an easy target. he had a bad year but looked good in the first 2 rounds of the playoffs and looked good for the first 2 outs in game 4. when damon got to 3rd, for whatever reason lidge stopped throwing the slider and i have to believe that decision came from the dugout. so if lidge isn't able to throw his best pitch, why does manuel leave him out there?
in fact, lidge is the only player who never got a 2nd chance in this series.

Don Jr. loved this post Sarge. :-D
While Martinez put the Phillies in a hole, Durbin made it deeper in the fifth. The reliever faced four batters, allowing three runs on two hits and a walk as the Yankees built a 7-1 lead. farging Durbin.

Feliz really helps with his defense and has some decent at bats. I would like to see some of the pitching move up from the minors. I hope Cole turns it around next year and someone teaches the Big Man to lay off left handed sliders.

no, he doesn't. he swings at the first pitch more than any player i've ever seen. he swings 3-0 and 3-1 more than any player i've ever seen. the only thing he doesn't do is make solid contact on a somewhat consistant basis. i've gone so far in the past to defend him because he really is an excellent 3bman but he completely lacks any kind of fundamentals or intelligence at the plate. ryan howard does too but he still has the talent to hit 45 hr a year which often compensates for his overall stupidity. pedro feliz's only talent at the plate is walking back to the dugout. he's great at that.

shtein...I think Rollins might have him beat...swinging for the fence as a leadoff hitter is awesome
rollins does it alot but i don't think he's anywhere close to feliz.
Mayor Bloomberg caught sleeping in the bottom of the ninth? Well he wasn't alone. Judging by the crowd noise and "celebration" he wasn't the only one napping at Yankee Stadium.
Oh for Christ sake................
QuoteGuiding his team to its 27th World Series championship tells us little about the character of manager Joe Girardi.
Especially when the feat is compared to what Girardi did after the party at Yankee Stadium ended.
Police say Girardi stopped in the wee hours Thursday to help a motorist who crashed a car into the wall after losing control on the Cross Country Parkway in suburban Westchester County.
