2008 Philadelphia Phillies Season/Playoff Thread (Die Mets Die)

[MDS]

nfl is lucky enough to have 2 players make 2 normally unmarketable teams popular (jets and colts), and also have two small market teams (packers and steelers) become big draws, in addition to the usual big markets (cowboys, giants, eagles, bears, 49ers) who also can draw.

and thats why they are the most popular league.

a baseball playoff without the sox, cubs or yanks = EPIC FAIL

i'm reading back in the early part of this thread and the offseason thread hoping to find where Die-Hard said that the Mets bullpen was better than Phillies.

Mets thread, page 6:

True, the Mets bullpen sucks. But the Philllies pen sucks just as much, if not more.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

What was the final tally for bullpen ERA and W-L for each team?

[BigEd76]

Phillies = 33-23, 47 saves, 483 IP, 3.22 ERA, 37 HR, 411 K, 211 BB (39 intentional), .251 BA, .333 OBP, .371 SLG, .703 OPS, .304 BABIP
Mets = 28-28, 43 saves, 493.1 IP, 4.27 ERA, 58 HR, 410 K, 202 BB (37 intentional), .258 BA, .336 OBP, .401 SLG, .736 OPS, .299 BABIP

I couldn't find the blown saves totals but I think the Mets had around 30 of them...

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

The Phillies pen gave up more walks.  They suck.

It was truly nauseating watching Gavin Floyd frigging dominate Detroit tonight.  Jesus - what an incredible blunder trading him was.

[PhillyPhreak54]

If he was still here he'd be in AAA with a 5-11 record and a 5.15ERA.

Change of scenery was needed.

Ideally the haul would have been better than Freddy Garcia. But yeah, Gavin Floyd would never have done that here.

[MDS]

hamels vs. gollardo

he faced the phils last year, won the game, gave up a run in 6.2 innings, but hes coming off an injury is making his 2nd start since may. hes right handed. its a bandbox. win. please.

whatever makes you feel better

22 year olds who had like 15 career starts dont need changes of scenery...they need seasoning...changes of scenery are for veterans like manny ramierez whos been in a place for 100 years and needs to get out

not even you phreak can try and defend that move as anything but a massive and collassal FAIL

[SD_Eagle5]

yeah I don't buy he needed a change of scenery either. You can either pitch or you can't.  Giillick really shtein the bed with that trade.

you cant lose game one...you just cant

according to weather nerds, its supposed to rain tomorrow afternoon, then clear up at night. so you girls complaining about baseball logically revolving its postseason schedule against the best matchups for tv ratings might be able to see the game after all.

[SunMo]

die in a fire todd

[ice grillin you]

unpossible since the rain would put it out

[Rome]

Garcia for Floyd has the potential to go down in Phillies history as the worst trade ever.
