Babe Ruf just cleard the bases with a first inning double.  I smell the future! (and it smells like shtein).

[Don Ho]

BOO!

[ice grillin you]

a couple of numbers...

cliff lee has 2101 strikes and 875 balls on the year

phillie sp have 20 more ip 27 more k and 17 fewer bb than the next closest staff in the majors

[Rome]

shtein bullpen, light hitting lineup = 1 game under .500 with five to play.

Nice job, Ruben.  You took a WFC and turned into this farging slop.

They were wfc in 2008 then rube took over in 2009 dipshtein

[MDS]

he took over a team on their way down and tried everything he could to win on the descent

criticize him for that but then you must retroactively denounce your cliff lee, roy halladay, roy oswalt and hunter pence boners.

im pretty sure if he kept all those prospects and they won 83 games each year youd have lost your mind 2 years ago. the fact of the matter was they should have done more in 2006 and 2007 when utley and howard were actually good. they waited until 2010 and 2011 when everyone was on the wrong side of 30.

Howard broke one of his big toes when he dropped that pipe he takes practice swings with on it Thursday while on deck.
