2009 Philadelphia Phillies - Season's Over, Time to Move On

[The BIGSTUD]

The Mets have no shot to win the division assuming the Phils starting pitching doesn't pitch with a 432.79 ERA for the rest of the season. Their offense isn't good enough to carry them with their poor starting pitching. Their bullpen is playing well, but it won't hold up the entire season. Plus K Rod chokes majorly in big games. Just like he did last year when he choked away that game to the Red Sox.

Assuming the Phils at least get their pitching to a respectable level, their offense is great, Romero will be back in the pen in about 25 games, and they have proven they will turn it on down the stretch when needed most. Plus and most importantly, they are a better team than the Mets on pretty much all levels. Including manager.

I got the Mets finishing 3rd behind the Phils and Marlins.

To summarize:

im not calling it for sure.......phils could win the wild card but mets are winnign the division

[Feva]

I gotta say... that's pretty fargin' cool.   

So you're calling it on May 16th...NL East goes to the Mets?

That team is gonna wilt again. I thought I read that JJ Putz has a bone spur in his elbow...will it hold up? He hasn't exactly been lights out in the 8th. Will Parnell keep it up? Will they have any arms left after Gangsta Jerry runs their asses into the ground? That manager is terrible.

[Geowhizzer]

That's beautiful!

[MDS]

[Rome]

I think he started around March 7th this year.

May is the new April

Lidge will get his shtein together, if he doesn't Madson can close.

After that 2-run single last night, Ibanez crushed 2 HRs already, including the 2nd deck in right-center.  wow

[PhillyPhreak54]

Ibanez is a farging badass. 2 bombs and 4 RBI so far

[Sgt PSN]

pedro martinez is still out there and had a very solid showing in the wbc.  have the phils even attempted to reach out to him?  he's certainly not what he used to be but he's undoubtedly better than park/happ/kendrick or anyone else the phils choose to run out there as the 5th starter. 

[BigEd76]

Lidge gets through a save situation without allowing a run, but Madson got hit around and gave up 3.  Andrew Carpenter starts tonight...

[Munson]

I wish there was a way they could work "farging" in diamonds into that ring somewhere.

Choke hits a 2 run homer into the little field in center
