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

[Geowhizzer]

And what's your homie Roob gonna do? Who will he get?

What is Carlos Lee's contract situation? He signed a mega-deal, is it almost up? He's awful defensively but can hit. Raul is awful defensively and cannot hit. I like the Carlos Quentin idea a lot, but what will Kenny Williams want?

Salisbury points out the following;

Your Phightin' Phils have scored 3 or fewer runs in half of their games.

Part of it depends on how much financial room the owners give Amaro.  But it's clearly evident that they need a right-handed power-hitting OF.

Get RH OF.
Bring up Brown.
Shoot Ibanez.

[Sgt PSN]

The worry points are LF and RF. I'd drop Francisco back to the bench and let Mayberry take over. He cannot do worse than Francisco.

I know they probably don't do this because they want Raul's lhb in the lineup, but they really should consider putting Mayberry in right and Francisco back to left.  Hell, if they want a lefty then give Gload a little more playing time or something.  It's not much better but can't really be any worse, can it?  Hopefully, when Grit comes back, that's the lhb that Cholly needs to pull Ibanez completely.

carlos lee is terrible. hes fat, his power is gone and hes walked i think once this year. hes not even an improvement over ibanez.

quentin isnt much better but he still does have 20 homer power. what kenny could want for him i do not know but id imagine it would start with major league ready pitching and the only thing the phillies have like that is vance worley.

[ice grillin you]

[MDS]

lineup tonight is again horrid

jimmy-martinez-polanco-howard-mayberry-francisco-valdez-sardinha-oswalt

im gonna let yall enjoy this. im staying away. police yourselves, homos.

[BigEd76]

and they're facing the lefty Mexican with a 5-0 record and a WHIP barely above 1.000

[Rome]

FERNANDO!

[Don Ho]

Todd, you better be here.  This is going to get ugly tonight.  Oswalt?  Who knows what we'll get out of him.  On a pitch count of 60-65.  Offense?  Need I elaborate?

[Munson]

Why would you want him here? to ruin any and all discussion of the game?

[Rome]

For his wry insouciance, of course.

[ice grillin you]

this game has shutout written all over it if they had a full lineup

[PhillyPhreak54]

So they'll end up scoring eight or nine then.
