no need to panic....it's only april...there's still 160 games left

Sure, it's a long season but the Phils got off to a crappy start last year and missed the playoffs by 1 game. Games in April count just as much as September.

i think this will be about as close to 1st place in the NL east they'll sniff this year.

Technically, opening day would be the closest they come to 1st place.

Just sayin'

oh cuz 1+1= 2 losses. but, if the nationals win, which now they might thanks to wonderful wagner, and the braves and marlins lose, they would still only be 1 back.

Just sayin'

nothing like 2 games to really rid me of those opening day optimisims.

same ol' Sillies.

Here's a stat for you doodes to chew on...

The Phillies are a staggering 0-13 with runners in scoring position after two games.

Zero for thirteen.

World Series, here we come!

Wagner blew the save in New York tonight

Yeah I saw that too, But Gordon blew it for us, the Bastich

LBIggle · April 05, 2006, 10:50:52 PM

but since wagner at one time played for the phils, they are automatically at fault in some way.

phillymic2000 · April 05, 2006, 10:52:43 PM

Yes, we get a 1/2 loss added to us evertime Wags blows one for the mets

PhillyPhreak54 · April 05, 2006, 11:33:14 PM

Yeah, Brett Myers is a bum who had the gall (HOW DARE HIM) to question the umpire who couldn't find his dick tonight. Unless it was down the pipe it was a ball.

MDS · April 05, 2006, 11:34:51 PM

5 innings and im already sick of brett myers

BigEd76 · April 05, 2006, 11:39:36 PM

The Phils are on pace for 0-162. ahhh

That's weird, because Mark Mulder didn't walk anyone. Strange.

No, but he wasn't getting calls. And the Phils helped him out big time by not working him. In the 7th when Bell hit the HR Burrell and Utley both swung at the 1st pitches. Two pitches = two outs.

And Isringhausen walked people in the 9th too.

I love Myers' arm and his intensity, but he lets himself be distracted when things don't go his way. IGY is right in that maturity is an issue with Myers, but I am more optimistic that he can turn it around- even this season. Today wasn't his best, and he still left with the Phils having a chance to win.

I agree with Phreak about the umpire squeezing the strikezone (especially the outside calls). I noticed it mostly with Gordon in the 9th. The ump wasn't unfair (the calls went both ways), but his zone was a little tight.

Lame-armed Mike Lieberthal needs to be taken to the vet and put down. My son can throw better than that.

Future HOFer Jimmy Rollins was gold on both offense and defense this game.
