WIN EVERY GAME OR EASY GETS ANGRY FROM HIS SUBURBAN CASTLE

Lidge gives up another non-save run...

But after Torchner, Charlie's favorite new bullpen toy, gives it up in the 7th.

Need another comeback. Jackasses.

Any day Rollins wants to get hitting, we're waiting.

[Rome]

Go polish your rings you Romes.

They should consider sending Rollins down to the minors to straighten his swing out, he's brutal right now.

Taschner sucks, I can't wait till Romero gets back. They should try Happ as their lefty out of the pen.

rollins, victorino, utley combined 0-13.  thats hawt.

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 looks absolutely awful right now. 

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.

[Geowhizzer]

mets are already hot

It ain't September yet.

im up for a mets phillies bet if anyone is down

[Feva]

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:

Add 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
