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

[Geowhizzer]

Werth's been playing well. 

[MDS]

up 6-0
win 6-5
eaton sucks
howard had 1 ab and k'ed
choke dog

[Rome]

lidge had a perfect 9th.  8 strikes on 11 pitches with two strikeouts.

clearly he could be pitching better, though.

[SD_Eagle5]

he could have struck out the side...slacker

[PhillyPhreak54]

Trade Howard; move Utley to 1B; start Harman!


Another GREAT effort by the bullpen tonight.

Did you check the mlb.com speed gun?

6-0 Phils after 2 innings.  Choke Dawg hit a HR

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Luck.

[Geowhizzer]

Luck.

Looked like a pop-up off his bat, then just went over the fence.

Guy is crazy-strong, but he's pulling off the ball way too much.  In the ROY and MVP years, he was lacing the ball to the opposite field frequently.  Last year and this year he's trying to yank everything to right.

[BigEd76]

Phils win 8-4 and get their first series win in Pittsburgh in 7 years.  Sad that it took that long...

[MDS]

Choke dog hit a 2 run bomb but still struck out a few times. One thing at a time, tubby.

[Geowhizzer]

Cy Maholm pitched a one-run, two-hit complete game against the Bums.

He lowered his ERA nearly a run this afternoon (from 4.22 to 3.26).

[PhillyPhreak54]

An uninspiring game to watch. BORING!

Letzzzzzz go Sixers

This quote from myers is 10 times greater than awesome:

""I'm lost," Myers said. "I'm lost throwing 88 m.p.h. I'm thinking I'm still a fastball pitcher because I usually am. I usually establish my fastball early in the game. I've always been that guy. I've always done that. But right now I'm going to other crap earlier than I want to."
