Phillies Season Thread 2013

[MDS]

holy shtein just saw the highlights...

hof's defense is hysterical. he fargs up, then just shrugs like whatever i guess i missed it. OK doofus. then nix can't even reach the pitchers mound on his throw. and i didnt even mention michael young.

kendrick did kendrick things. he is what he is. get over it. he pitches to contact and is dependent on hitting his spots. sometimes it works, sometimes it dont. its not his fault hes the 3rd best pitcher in this rotation.

offense shut it down early. bullpen cant keep it close. south jersey in the house. 2012 all over again.

yeah kendrick isnt the problem...the problem is the team has two number 5's

Seriously..Ruben Amaro should have his farging ass beat for assembling this bullpen.

i was thinking about this in bed last night....bases loaded 6th inning and they need a huge out from a lefty and their option is jeremey farging horst....which brings up two things...their go to loogys in the pen are horst and odb...puke....

and secondly if charlie is going to manage the 6th inning of game four of the season like hes managing a world series game then why not go to the better pitcher in basticho to get that out

[Rome]

The team is old and tired just like their pathetic bumblefarg manager.  They need a total shakeup from top to bottom and since they can't fire 25 players, get rid of Cholly and get someone in there with some fire in his belly.  I know it's not going to make much difference this season but at least it will give the fans something to look forward to in 3 or 4 years when they're contending again.

the next manager is at 3rd base....its not a matter of who its a matter of when...i wouldnt be against doing it now...it just doesnt feel right giving him his first shot with a team headed towards the abyss...its one thing to hand over the job as you are rebuilding and moving forward....but this is a team hanging on by thread who is going to get worse before it gets better

[Rome]

I agree with that but something has to be done.   They lost yesterday in embarrassing fashion and that can't be permitted to continue.  They're not going to re-hire Cholly anyway so why continue on with him? 

[phattymatty]

i just wish there was more time to catch up to the nats. gonna have to get extremely hot very soon.

[MDS]

wait did rome just notice that they suck?

[PhillyPhreak54]

John Lannan...do not like.

He's probably going to go 5 and give up 5

[Geowhizzer]

John Lannan...do not like.

He's probably going to go 5 and give up 5

That would be an improvement.

[ice grillin you]

mendoza who is pitching for kansas city was mvp of the caribbean world series

he also is a right hander who doesnt strike people out...so the phillies should score on him

[MDS]

7-8-9 is mAAAyberry, quintero, lAAAnAAAn

actually should be it lAAnAAn...triple a gives him too much credit

[ice grillin you]

im sure a good amount of it is late arriving tailgaters but damn is there a crapload of empty seats for a saturday game

[PhillyPhreak54]

Lannan is throwing well...

And 65yr old Miguel Tejada made a helluva play on Grit's dribbler. He must be on the shtein again.

Choke's lost about three hits to the goddamn shift so far this year

[ice grillin you]

choke is AWFUL

[PhillyPhreak54]

Well...game over. 2-0 and I don't think they can score
