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

[ice grillin you]

you're actually asking why they don't try something new with the lineup?

der...

And every time he does something new with the lineup, he gets blasted.

Charlie Manuel and Joe Banner could collectively cure cancer, and you and igy would get on their case for not curing diabetes at the same time.

banner jobs performance is not the issue...he doesnt do anything that his job calls for that no one else in like positions across the league do...however banner is a despicable person in the mold of a lil danni snyder who needs to never be seen or heard and just work his numbers....basically if youre talking about banner at all then hes farging up


charlie on the other hand is horrible at his job and by all accounts a great person...ive given charlie credit many times for his handling of the dugout and his relationship with players...but from first pitch to last hes a joke

Changing the line-up? No.

Unless you mean adding Rollins back in there and getting Bruntlett back to the bench.

Burrell in the 4th spot means he gets walked for Howard now. Because then Howard comes up and hacks at three sliders that are in the 3B dugout and sits down. Then Feliz comes up and promptly grounds into a DP.

utley is bananas right now...cain is farging dealing his ass off and utley has him 2-1....just threw a breaking ball...no way behind in the count he throws another...you sit on a fastball right...nope utleys sits back and bashes a hook to the deepest part of the park opposite field


btw cain struck out the side other than utley


choke is getting booed out of the stadium now...ive heard scattered boos for him before but now hes getting eaten up...and he deserves every last one of them

Myers was pretty good tonight but got no run support. Angel Hernandez was squeezing him early and the Phils should have won 2-1. Fred Lewis was give a walk by Hernandez, then tagged out but called safe at 2nd and then scored on a hit.

Utley is so good its ridiculous. Its amazing to see someone so good and then watch Howard dig in and look so pathetic. The boo's are deserved no doubt. Step it up, Howard for fargs sake.

phreak, he totally missed the tag at 2nd...even Wheels admitted it.  i remember that because wheels was whining because the ump usually calls the runner out even if the tag isn't made.

Giants announcers said he got him. The replay they showed on that broadcast showed him getting the tip of the glove to the shoulder. Either way, dude should have been called out on strikes.

And speaking of tagging guys out; Utley's catcheresque blocking of 2B on steals is another example of his baseball IQ being so great. I love how he does the little things.

you suck suck penises.

phreak is close to entering pgville if he isnt already a resident

[MDS]

phreak is also close to not hitting his 50 minimum innings this week in fantasy, therefore giving me every pitching category and yet another dominating win

[ice grillin you]

PHREAK!!!

[PhillyPhreak54]

What did I do?!

[SunMo]

burrell with a double to the gap...nah, no reason to bat him 4th, not like he would've knocked in victorino in the 1st instead of the 10 million dollar man gagging again

[MDS]

choke should be moved to 7th. hit either dobbs or jenkins 5 and someone else 6, like coste or hacktorino depending on whose playing. theres no way he can hit 4 anymore. he is just brutal and its only going to get worse.

[ice grillin you]

stop acting like this is new....theres a reason i gave him that moniker over a year ago

he doesnt need to go to 7th or hit behind dobbs...he needs to come out of this and hopefully along with his 200 plus k's you can get 35 homers out of him...let him play out the rest of his arbitration years and then let him go bye bye

[BigEd76]

awful
