May 31: Nolasco vs. Hamels
Miami Marlins at Philadelphia Phillies, May 31, 2008 7:05 PM EDT
Probably you didn't think Cole Hamels would be the holdout as the Phils try to complete a full swing through the rotation with each starter earning a victory, but that's how it has turned out: the team's incredible offensive outburst didn't start in earnest until after Hamels had departed last Sunday's 15-6 victory in Houston. Since then, Jamie Moyer, Kyle Kendrick, Adam Eaton and Brett Myers have been the beneficiaries as the team has scored 45 runs--mostly early in games--to run the win streak to five. Hamels has enjoyed only mixed results against the Florida Marlins, with a 2-2 record and 4.13 ERA in four career starts. Marlins starter Ricky Nolasco is 1-2, 6.60 against the Phillies.
Hanley Ramirez, Florida's superstar shortstop, is in the lineup tonight despite leaving last night's 12-3 Phillies victory with a hand injury. Carlos Ruiz and Geoff Jenkins are both back in for the Phils.

I have nowhere else to say it, but listening to tim mccarver and joe buck do dodgers/mets game today almost made my ears explode, they tried to fit ever old school cliche in that they could

Chase Utley’s wife almost looking vaguely Jolie-esque in this picture. Is there any downside to being Utley right about now?
Looking like a short night for hamels…not as bad as last time, but he might not make it through six

This is why you don’t sign hacks like Helms and Barajas…because when they suck, and you let them go they come back and play like superstars just to stick it to you.
Yeah, that’s it, of course.
I admire the plate approach of many of the phillies tonight….why bother making the pitcher throw more than one or two pitches per at bat

Maybe all those pitches charlie had him throw were a bad idea?
