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

[PhillyPhreak54]

I watched it at the sports bar until the inning where Coste homered and then the Phils had more opportunities and Rollins grounded into a goddamn double play. I got up and left.

Brett Myers has been absolute shtein. Way to go after they put up a 5 spot to go out and give the whole farging thing right back. Yeah igy, you got me on that bet. But we already knew that. My only hope for Myers is that somehow he fixes whatever the farg is wrong and bounces back in the 2nd half.

They need pitching. They need a goddamn ass ripping from Charlie too. Get all up in their asses, Chuck. Just like in Florida a year or so ago.

To see them piss away their lead like this is maddening. Way to play front running ball, iceholes.

no hits since the fourth?  oh dear.

[Don Ho]

good job werth.  that insurance runs gonna bite us in the rear.

[PhillyPhreak54]

farging bullllllshtein.

These fargbags give up a run in the bottom of the 8th; 8-6.

Werth homers to lead off the 9th. It should be tied 7-7, but no...its 8-7.

Come on you lifeless iceholes.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Well, yeah.

Werth HR, Utley ground out, Rollins gets rung up on an apparent bad call, Burrell doubles and is PR for by Jenkins who apparently doesn't score on a single to the SS by Howard. Then Dobbs smokes one to 2B - game over.

Nothing like "watching" the game on Yahoo gamecenter.

Myers and Rollins...farg the both of you.

Terrible.

1 game lead now.

[Don Ho]

observations:

1.  Ranger announcers are terrible.  I am really starting to like Wheels.
2.  Meyers, Meyers, aahhh, Meyers just sucks.  Love the fact Charlie yanked his ass out of there early.
3.  I can't wait to see the National League again.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Did you just say you are starting to like Wheels?

punch yourself in the balls! NOW!

[MDS]

this is really getting brutal.

[SD_Eagle5]

They really need to think about sitting Myers. The long ball and first inning blunders are outrageous.

Hamels vs. Padilla today.

[Geowhizzer]

So, when do we change the title to LOL @ the Phillies?

[MDS]

how are they stiill 5 games over and in first place?

[PhillyPhreak54]

Luck.

And the Marlins/Braves/Mets have their own troubles too.

King has to be on tonight. Hopefully Crazy Vicente goes out and drinks a bottle or two of tequila this afternoon and gets bombed.

I am really frustrated at the way they have been playing, especially Jimmy. Last night angered me like hell when he swung at the first pitch and GIDP. A flyball there and it makes a big difference.

I think Charlie is close to blowing his top like he did in Florida that year. One or two more games like this and he has to get crazy.

[Geowhizzer]

He's already a couple of games late with it.  This damn streak is snowballing.

sorry man,  it was a long week.  this slump has me in a real funk.  not thinking straight.

[PhillyGirl]

Did anyone expect them to NOT have a funky few weeks at some point in the season? I'm kind of scratching my head here over the responses on this thread. The fact that they are in this funk and STILL in first place and over .500 is huge.

You know its not going to last all year (the offensive slump). They DO, however, NEED to address Myers and Eaton...IMMEDIATELY. Oh yeah, and Gordon.
