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

[Munson]

Lmao yes, suddenly now everyone will feel completely confident against roy halladay going into the 9th inning pitching a 5 hit, 1 run game. idiotm

[MDS]

what the farg is the difference? bottom of the 8th, top of the 9th? its a late inning lead he gave away.

cliff lee blew up in the 8th @ toronto this year and he seems to still be cliff lee.

my point is everyone, especially igy aka gloria gaynor, needs to calm the farg down. you will not remember this game in 2 days. i promise you.

ask the diamondbacks what the difference is

cliff lee was never thought of as a machine like halladay was...cliff lee is a nice pitcher roy halladay is talked about as not human....now he is

no one is saying he wont pitch well the rest of the year but he doesnt have that extra psychological advantage he did before last night...guarantee halladay does not win more games in the playoffs than he loses

yea i know what youre going for and its not going to work

[PhillyGirl]

baaahahahaha!

All of this over this game.

Shut up, idiots.

like how many middle-in fastballs did you morons want.  this is totally on the offense.

Missed the game but fast forwarded through the game this morning.  Absolutely on the offense.  Doc probably should have been pulled after Upton's hit.

For what it's worth.  Comparing the Phils to the Red Sox.  Bums are 23-23 against teams with a winning record. Red Sox are 48-34.  Obviously the Red Sox have three opponents in their own division over .500 (NYY/Rays/Blue Jays) who they are 23-11 against. 6 teams in the NL with a winning record.  9 in the AL.  Phils are 6-3 against Texas/Boston/Toronto.  Phillies are the only NL team with a winning record the Red Sox played.

Just some junk to ponder. 

[ice grillin you]

ill be the first to crush the offense if warranted....but last night was not on the offense...up 3-2 in the 9th either your cyborg ace pitcher or your closer has to lock it down....one of them failed massively

ive been saying all year how the phillies are just average against the other good teams

also why does it matter how many good teams the red sox have played...if anything that gives them an advantage of being battle tested...to be fair tho the red sox are clearly a better team...id be more interested to see who in the NL is above .500 against winning teams....cant imagine that there are any teams that are that much better than the phillies

[ice grillin you]

to answer my own question the braves and giants are both five games over .500 vs winning teams

they are the only teams in the NL +.500 against such teams

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

So, they are the teams to beat in the NL.
The Giants may not even make the playoffs.
The Braves would have to get through a tough NLDS to face the Phils.
Phils are then a lock to at least reach the NLCS, and if they don't face the Braves, they'll win and get to the World Series.
Which they would win against any team except the Red Sox.

Do I have this straight?

STOP TAKING THE BAIT NORTH CAROLINA

[Sgt PSN]

I just hope that Cholly is able to set the playoff rotation so that Halladay only has to make 1 start per series.  Can't have that weak link out there starting 2 games.

stop being a douchey homer

they could easily beat the red sox......the best team doesnt always win...but right now the red sox would be a favorite to win in six

and no i didnt say the giants or braves were the teams to beat in the nl...thats the phillies but its essentially a toss up btwn any number of teams in that league (just like last year)

why am i discussing baseball with you again?

[phattymatty]

"...bench coach Pete Mackanin reports, after a week of watching Pence's ferocious hacks at the plate, he kiddingly told Pence he should try blooping in a hit once in a while. To which Pence replied: "Pete, I don't do that. I melt faces."

This dude seems pretty awesome so far.

playoffs have been and will always be a toss up

mlb could get sox/phils like everyone thought or it could easily be angels/dbacks and 0 people would watch or care

which is why you need to enjoy the regular season and then turn it on in the playoffs. cause what happens now means dick once the sprint of october starts.
