May 22: Kendrick vs. Oswalt

Philadelphia Phillies @ Houston Astros

The Phils venture to Houston for a four-game holiday weekend set with the scalding-hot Astros. Roy Oswalt will try to shake off a minor injury in his start tonight, while Kyle Kendrick hopes to cool down a Houston offense led by Lance Berkman, who has gotten a nickname upgrade from "Fat Elvis" to "The Big Puma." Not bad.

Feliz hitting 5th?

Feliz now 9 for 21 against Oswalt.

WTF

Why doesn’t Kendrick just strike out there instead of a possible DP?

Jenkins – that throw wasn’t good

Did you expect a good throw?

by Steve-O- on May 22, 2008 8:55 PM EDT up 0 recs

The astros announcers were talking about him having a good arm or something.

Ok, i understand why jenkins is playing tonight, he has good career numbers against oswalt…but did i miss a burrell injury?

by jemagee on May 22, 2008 8:57 PM EDT up 0 recs

Maybe just a rest, I haven’t heard anything.

by Steve-O- on May 22, 2008 9:00 PM EDT up 0 recs

his numbers against oswalt aren’t great but dobbs has limited experience against him…i’m not in the city area so i thought maybe there was some local news i missed

Howard with a big double. Feliz follows it with a first pitch single. 3-2 Phils.

For Who? My teammates.

For What? To Win.

How Much? Where do I sign?

That throw from bourn was horrible

by jemagee on May 22, 2008 8:59 PM EDT 0 recs

Victorino with a good catch in center. Dead run coming in, probably the hardest play to make for an outfielder.

For Who? My teammates.

For What? To Win.

How Much? Where do I sign?

Harry, Dan Uggla has put up better numbers in May than Berkman has.

For Who? My teammates.

For What? To Win.

How Much? Where do I sign?

Nonsense, espn tells me that berkman is the awesomest

by jemagee on May 22, 2008 9:12 PM EDT up 0 recs

If Michael Bourn was really fast he would have caught that

God I love Utley but he needs a day off. This is getting painful.

by Steve-O- on May 22, 2008 9:23 PM EDT 0 recs

Especially when he’s on your fantasy team.

by PhoenixPhilly on May 22, 2008 9:23 PM EDT up 0 recs

Utley does not look good.

by PhoenixPhilly on May 22, 2008 9:23 PM EDT 0 recs

He’s a handsome man

I’ve been informed that man crushes are acceptable on this board, but should be kept to ones’ self.

by PhoenixPhilly on May 22, 2008 9:27 PM EDT up 0 recs

I’m just saying, you said he didn’t look good, but your g/f/wife would probably dump you for him, that’s all I’m saying…i have no man crush on chase utley personally…My favorite phillie is still ryan howard

by jemagee on May 22, 2008 9:29 PM EDT up 0 recs

LOL. Don’t tell my wife.

by Steve-O- on May 22, 2008 9:29 PM EDT up 0 recs

Ryan Howard proves my point :)

by jemagee on May 22, 2008 9:30 PM EDT 0 recs

Howard is officially out of his slump.

Is it for real????

by Steve-O- on May 22, 2008 9:32 PM EDT 0 recs

Isn’t Roy Oswalt supposed to be better than this?

by jemagee on May 22, 2008 9:32 PM EDT 0 recs

Depends…i say it takes two weeks of consistent play before you even consider he’s out of it…meh?

by jemagee on May 22, 2008 9:34 PM EDT 0 recs

That or 2,000 feet of HRs.

Santana

Takes the loss. 7 innings, 12 hits, 3 runs only 1 K. Shame to see him get beat eh?

by Steve-O- on May 22, 2008 9:41 PM EDT 0 recs

read something today about his velocity being down and his throw being ‘shortened’ according to some people…some sort of side effect to some shoulder wear that the mets knew about before they signed his long term deal…i’d hate to see santana turn into a pedro like pitcher, that would be just awful for the mets
