2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (choking awful pos team, DIAF)

[Don Ho]

Mayberry was out.  Big Ben comes through.

[Don Ho]

There's your beast folks!  farging Cliff Lee taking one for the team.

[Munson]

This ump has a small ass strike zone

[Don Ho]

Settle down Cliff.

Lee having a really bad off night.  It's one thing like his last start when he struck out 16, but the couple of hits he gave up hurt him, but he basically handed St Louis both runs that inning. 

[Munson]

The ump basically handed them both runs that inning. I've never seen Cliff Lee squeezed so bad.

manuel has good qualities and bad qualities as a manager but perhaps the most confusing thing hes done is periodically hit wilson valdez second

i understand its to "move runners along" or something but i mean just no. hes not a major league hitter and if he needs to play he should be hitting 8th.

Hey Brownsville - they could bay your boy Wheels 2nd and it wouldn't matter. The Threshers probably have a mote competent line up.

Anyways Willie V will come through with a big hit tonight.

I remember reading on various sites last year when Wilson filled in for Jimmy that they thought he should be the Phils SS for 2011.  The only point to this story is that people are dumb. 

Valdez is a fine bench guy and good for a spot start or injury replacement, but that's about it.

is that your weird way of defending valdez and trashing the lineup at the same time?

[PhillyPhreak54]

Anyone who thought Wilson Valdez should be a full time major league SS and replace Jimmy Rollins needs their farging head examined and urine tested.

I imagine this is how Phreak reacts after every game the Phils lose. 

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yeahhhhh no! Is that moron watching soccer?!

This offense farging blows.

[Rome]

Is it permissible to express displeasure in the offense yet or will we have to wait another 30 games or so?

[MDS]

you can but you need to keep in mind they are missing 3 starters and were never all that good to begin with

these 1 run, low scoring games are games they are going play all season and sometimes you may lose a few of them.
