2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (choking awful pos team, DIAF)

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

If the season ended today, basticho's opponent average of .112 would be the best in major league history for any pitcher with over 50 innings pitched.

[Rome]

He's given up 19 hits in 50.2 IP.  That's almost unimaginable.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Magic numbers:

NL East: 21
Playoffs: 12

[Rome]

It's September 2nd and their playoff magic number is 12.

Think about that for a second.  We always joke that shtein would be over by Labor Day and damn if it almost was.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

They can play sub-.500 ball for the remainder of the season and still get 100 wins.

[Rome]

Yeah, but with the Braves lurkin' and all, they might not wanna do that.

Haha, Bonnie Bernstein:

#Phillies have won 13 str behind Vance Worley. A rookie for cryin out loud. As if their rotation's not stacked enuf. #BitterMetsFan

So this weekend is the Phils' last visit to the empty square stadium where the Dolphins play, and other than Halladay's perfect game and that 10-run 9th six years ago, it's pretty much sucked there.  Barajas not blocking the plate....Uggla's grand slam off Tom Gordon....Myers blowing out his arm....everything about 2003...

Good riddance.

[MDS]

yea being a phillies fan has really sucked lately

[Rome]

If you're trying to be the anti-IGY you're failing miserably.

[MDS]

More MAAAyberry magic.

[SD]

More MAAAyberry magic.

250+ less at bats, 3 less HRs and 7 less RBIs then Werth. Much higher BA too.

Not sure if something finally clicked this year of if he'll be a one-year wonder, but he's been a nice addition this year.

[Munson]

Well there was a lot of talk about him changing his stance while in the minors wasn't there?
