only this offense could get three hits in an inning and not score

how come this whole milwaukee series has been in sd

HD's been on mlb.tv.  Of course, I didn't get last night's game at all due to a Fox blackout.

[MDS]

theyre about to lose 3 in a row to brewers, including 2 games started by their 2 best pitchers and one where they faced only the bullpen

this team is pretty good, right?

[ice grillin you]

they are who we thought they were

i think they are a .500 team more or less

83 wins

no matter what happens its going to be pure comedy gold watching the defense this year

[MDS]

the worst part of this game is kyle lohse's free win against this pos team is going to cost me a W in fantasy

disgraceful. finally a philly loss truly matters in this world and it costs me, of course

[Rome]

This is stating the obvious again but why is Jeremy Horst anywhere near this team right now?    And LOL at Papelbon pitching in an 8-1 slaughter.  Seriously, if nothing else happens good this year and Cholly gets sent packing, I'd be fine.

[MDS]

i thought youre only supposed to use your closer on the road in a save situation? THAT WASNT A SAVE SITUATION!

i like how brookover described papelbon: a porsche on a 162 game ride to nowhere.

[ice grillin you]

im the last person to ever defend chuckles but that cranial lump paplebon hadnt pitched in five days and they dont play tommorow

[MDS]

i know...its a joke because chuckles mcdumbass refused to bring papelbon in in the 9th inning friday, which cost them the game

but its good that his best reliever got to pitch once in this series...in the 8th inning of a blowout. way to use that talent!

[Rome]

It was a "get some work" moment for sure.  I wasn't trying to tie his appearance to Cholly's idiocy, though.  Just thought it was funny that a fifty million dollar closer was in there for mop up duty.

[QB Eagles]

Better than having a fifty million dollar closer just sitting on the bench every game scratching his balls.

a few more of these and we just might see a season ticket holder revolt ed wade style

[Geowhizzer]

Should I start looking for my old catching gear?

[Don Ho]

Ruben Amaro Jr.'s offseason plan consisted of this: Get the Phillies' core players healthy, hope they produce, add some complementary pieces, fix the eighth inning, and make a push at returning to the postseason before Father Time catches up with the club and some key players' contracts run out.

It's that simple.
