I'm planning on heading to that game too.  I'll be in Philly for a few days and hopefully can make it down.  I may even try to get tickets to Fri and Sat game.  I'd love to be on hand for 10,000 losses.

was looking back at a phils article from this weekend and found this gem...the bolded parts add up to = hilarity

DENVER - The 11th inning brought a 7-6 loss to the Rockies, Yorvit Torrealba singling off J.D. Durbin with two out and two on.

A different outcome was so close for the Phillies, now .500 again.

Kyle Kendrick, the 22-year-old Double A call-up, was one out away from a fourth win. He had given the Phillies six good innings and left with a 6-3 lead.

He could only watch as the assemblage of castoffs, retreads and youngsters blew it and the Rockies bullpen supplied five scoreless innings.

Lefty specialist Mike Zagurski, a Double A call-up barely out of Class A and less and less special all the time, gave up a run in the seventh when Matt Holliday, the league's top hitter, homered to centerfield. Reclamation project Jose Mesa got the last out and stranded two runners.

Mesa let in a run himself in the eighth to cut it to 6-5, but he stranded a runner when he induced Holliday to ground into a doubleplay.

Castoff lefty J.C. Romero got lefty Todd Helton to ground out for the first out in the ninth, bringing on righthanded closer-by-default Antonio Alfonseca to face righty Garrett Atkins. Atkins, hitting .261 against lefties with only one homer, flied out to left.

Lefty Brad Hawpe did better.

He crushed a 1-2 fastball over the centerfield fence and tied it with his 15th homer – and his 14th against righthanded pitching. He entered the game hitting .330 against righthanders, .191 against lefties.

Why not leave Romero in to face Atkins and Hawpe?

Anyway, it was Alfonseca's third blown save in nine chances and his second in a row. And no, neither Tom Gordon nor Brett Myers is within a week of being ready to return to the closer jobs they vacated because of injury.

Durbin, a Triple A call-up who supplied a poor fill-in start last week, followed Alfonseca with a scoreless 10th but walked Atkins with one out, had Hawpe single and move Atkins to second, then struck out Troy Tulowitski. Up came Torreabla; down went the Phillies.

Phillies.com article on the tarp thing (including the FOX Sports Rocky Mountain video clips in case you missed it)


Also a quick note on Savery:  it looks like the holdup is where he'll start.  He wants to start at Lakewood.  The Phils want him to start at Williamsport.

"It was good enough for Ryan Howard and Chase Utley. It will be good enough for him."

a-holes

can someone put a bullett in shane victorino and put him out of his misery

"getting hurt never crossed my mind"

haha get the farg outta here...like he was airlifted onto the top of mt everest in the middle of a blizzard to save someone

"You see something like that, you get worried that somebody is going to get hurt," Victorino said. "It was funny to see us out there trying to pull the tarp and act like we know what we're doing."

so were you worried about someone getting hurt or was it just a big joke watching baseball players trying to get the tarp out there in the wind and rain



"The guy might have died," Greg Dobbs said.

Monty said today the Phillies would be in the playoffs the last 6 years if they were in the NBA. That's all you need to know.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Igy,

There was one guy who got launched by that tarp. He looked like Billy Bob Thornton in that movie Pushing Tin when he stands under the 747. It was funny.

And Monty is a class A dooshbag. The Phillies ownership and front office is like the Bush Administration...never admit to shtein, dont listen to the public and act like their shtein dont stink.
